The alert system (100) comprises an input (102) for setting alarm conditions, and an interface (110) for coupling to a communication network (114) to obtain alarm data from a data source (118). The alert system (100) further comprises an alarm (124) for alerting the user in response to an alarm signal, and a processor (106). The processor (106) is operable to receive the alarm conditions, to control communication network (114) access to the data source (118), to receive and evaluate alarm data, and to generate the alarm signal in response to the evaluation.
