Abstract
An alarm system can provide security, fire, protection, or other alarm services for a premises, such as for a building or other property. When the alarm system detects an alarm condition, such as an intrusion or a fire, a two-way voice channel can be opened between the premises and a remote entity. Via the two-way voice channel, an operator at a central monitoring station can verbally communicate with someone at the premises, for example. A person associated with the alarm system may own a mobile communication device, such as a smartphone or other handheld cellular device. If the mobile communication device located is at the premises, the two-way voice channel can be established between the remote entity and the mobile communication device. Location of the mobile communication device can be determined based on GPS, service provider tracking, or user entry, for example.
