REDUNDANCY FOR BACK-END FAILURE

摘要

Methods and systems are described for back-end failure redundancy in security and automation systems. According to at least one embodiment, an apparatus for back-end failure redundancy includes a processor, a memory in electronic communication with the processor, and instructions stored in the memory. The instructions are executable by a processor to detect an alarm event, and attempt to establish a connection between a control panel and a backend system. If no connection between control panel and backend system is made, the instructions may initiate a two-way cellular call between the control panel and a central station, and deliver a caller ID from the control panel to the central station via the two-way cellular call.

1. An apparatus for back-end failure redundancy, comprising:
a processor; a memory in electronic communication with the processor; and instructions stored in the memory, the instructions being executable by a processor to:
detect an alarm event;attempt to establish a connection between a control panel and a backend system;if no connection between the control panel and backend system is made, initiate a communications link between the control panel and a central station; anddeliver a caller identification (ID) from the control panel to the central station via the communications link.
