1. A communication module for a security system, the communication module comprising:
a radio interface module configured to interface with a communication port of a half-duplex radio, the radio interface being configured to receive a voice signal from the half-duplex radio and configured to transmit an audio signal to the half-duplex radio; a microprocessor module in communication with the radio interface module and configured to receive the voice signal from the radio interface and configured to transmit the audio signal to the radio interface, the microprocessor module being further configured to translate the voice signal into text data; and a signaling routing module in communication with the microprocessor module and configured to receive the text data from the microprocessor module for transmission to a user of the security system, the signal routing module being further configured to transmit the audio signal to the microprocessor, wherein the audio signal is derived from at least one detection device and indicates activation of the at least one detection device to a remote user through the half-duplex radio.
