Abstract
Systems and methods for delaying transmission of an alarm signal responsive to detecting delay actions indicative of progress towards confirming or denying the alarm signal are provided and can include an alarm processing device receiving the alarm signal and determining whether a user device is enrolled in an alarm notification service. When the user device is enrolled in the alarm notification service, the alarm processing device can transmit a notification to the user device, start a delay timer, and determine whether a first delay action associated with the user device is detected prior to expiration of the delay timer. When the first delay action is detected prior to the expiration of the delay timer, the alarm processing device can alter the delay timer consistent with a next delay action associated with the user device and, when the delay timer expires, transmit the alarm signal to the central monitoring station.
