Summary:In a method for remote monitoring of alarms, audio test signals generated by a plurality of alarm devices, including a first and second alarm of the same type (e.g., smoke detector, door or window alarm, etc.), are sensed. For each alarm device, the respective audio test signal is processed to generate alarm identification data, and an indication of a type of the alarm device and a location of the alarm device is received. An audio signal that the first alarm device generated in response to detecting an alarm condition is sensed, and processed according to an audio recognition technique to identify the alarm device that generated the audio signal. A notification is caused to be sent to a user. The notification includes the type and the location of the first alarm device.
