Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G  H

Claim 0:
1. An on-site secondary control device configured to communicate with an on-site primary control device of a premises security system, the on-site primary control device being configured to trigger an alarm event signal associated with the premises security system, the on-site secondary control device being physically separated from the on-site primary control device, the on-site secondary control device comprising:
processing circuitry configured to:
receive an alarm event signal from the on-site primary control device, the alarm event signal indicating that a premises device has been triggered;
temporarily store the alarm event signal;
determine that a criterion associated with the premises security system is met, the criterion comprising at least one of:
a signal strength of a connection between the on-site secondary control device and the on-site primary control device being below a first threshold value;
a signal to interference and noise ratio of the connection between the on-site secondary control device and the on-site primary control device being below a second threshold value;
a power level of the on-site primary control device or the on-site secondary control device being below a third threshold value; or
an accelerometer of one of the on-site primary control device or the on-site secondary control device detecting an acceleration greater than a fourth threshold value; and

in response to determining that the criterion associated with the premises security system is met, transmit the alarm event signal to a remote monitoring center.
