Summary:In a method for remote monitoring of alarms, first and second audio test signals, generated by first and second alarm devices at first and second locations, respectively, are sensed, with both alarm devices corresponding to the same alarm type. For each alarm device, the respective audio test signal is processed to generate alarm identification data. An audio signal that the first alarm device generated in response to detecting an alarm condition (e.g., a fire, smoke, etc.) is sensed, and processed according to an audio recognition technique, and using the generated alarm identification data, to identify the alarm device that generated the audio signal. A notification is then caused to be sent to a user. The notification includes the location of the first alarm device.
