Claim 0:
1. A monitoring station for a security system of a facility, the monitoring station comprising:
an input port for receiving events produced by each of a plurality of components of the security system of the facility, wherein each of the plurality of components is located in a corresponding geographic region of the facility;
a user interface including a display;
a memory configured to store a plurality of predefined event icons, wherein each of the plurality of predefined event icons corresponds to a different one of a plurality of event types, and each of the plurality of predefined event icons includes a graphical representation that is indicative of the corresponding event type;
a controller operably coupled with the input port, the user interface and the memory, the controller configured to:
receive via the input port a plurality of events produced by one or more of the plurality of components of the security system of the facility, each of the plurality of events produced at a corresponding time;
identify for each of the plurality of events received via the input port a corresponding event type from the plurality of event types;
display on the display of the user interface a spatial representation of at least part of the facility; and
for each of at least some of the plurality of events received via the input port, display on the spatial representation of at least part of the facility, the predefined event icon that corresponds to the event type of the event, at a location that corresponds to the geographic region of the facility that the component that produced the event is located, and at a time that corresponds to the time that the event was produced by the corresponding component;
wherein the plurality of components of the security system include a security panel, wherein the security panel produces one or more of:
an event with an arm event type when a user arms at least part of the security system via a user interface of the security panel, wherein the predefined event icon that corresponds to the arm event type is displayed at a location that corresponds to the geographic region of the facility that the security panel is located, and at a time that corresponds to the time that the event with the arm event type was produced by the corresponding security panel;
an event with a disarm event type when the user disarms at least part of the security system via the user interface of the security panel, wherein the predefined event icon that corresponds to the disarm event type is displayed at a location that corresponds to the geographic region of the facility that the security panel is located, and at a time that corresponds to the time that the event with the disarm event type was produced by the corresponding security panel; and
an event with a bypass event type when the user bypasses a security sensor of the security system via the user interface of the security panel, wherein the predefined event icon that corresponds to the bypass event type is displayed at a location that corresponds to the geographic region of the facility that the security panel is located, and at a time that corresponds to the time that the event with the bypass event type was produced by the corresponding security panel.
