ABSTRACT An alarm system for transmitting alarm information via telephone lines has a plurality of alarm transmitters which are located at subscribers' premises and are adapted to transmit signals indicative of the state of alarms associated with the transmitters along telephone lines to associated receivers. The receivers are located at one or more local exchanges and the receivers at a local exchange are all connected to a local processor. The or each local processor is connected to a central processor which can direct alarm information to one of a number of terminal stations. The local processors continuously scan the outputs of the receivers. When a local processor detects a signal indicative of an alarm condition it transmits a signal coded with the subscriber identity and destination for the alarm information to the central processor which routes the alarm message to the appropriate terminal station. Each transmitter produces a carrier wave which is modulated with one or more other frequencies according to the state of the alarm being monitored. The central processor claimed herein has a plurality of local processor terminations, one for each local processor, a plurality of terminal station terminations, highways linking the processor terminations and terminal station terminations, and means for sequentially scanning the local processor terminations, each terminal station termination being responsive to an alarm signal received by a processor termination and addressed with a particular code to direct that alarm signal to the appropriate termination.
