Abstract:
1. A method for monitoring a building with a building monitoring system wherein the building monitoring system generates an alert when an adverse condition is detected, the method comprising: configuring, by one or more processors, the building monitoring system to an operating mode in which the building monitoring system does not send alerts to a central monitoring system without one of (i) receiving an affirmative user command or (ii) a failing to receive a negative user command within a period of time, wherein the central monitoring system charges a user, based on the reception of the affirmative user command or based on the failing to receive the negative user command within the period of time, for requesting one or more responders to be sent to the building to address an adverse condition that is detected while the building monitoring system is configured in the operating mode.
