1. A system comprising:
a plurality of event detectors, the plurality of event detectors interconnected via a common interconnect of propagating interconnect signals among the plurality of event detectors, wherein each of the plurality of event detectors comprises a radio frequency detector, at least two optical isolation devices and at least two signal translators;
at least one receiver configured to indirectly couple to the common interconnect, the at least one receiver configured to receive the interconnect signals propagating among the plurality of event detectors on the common interconnect, the interconnect signals indicative of events detected by the plurality of event detectors, wherein the at least one receiver is electrically isolated from the common interconnect, and wherein the electrical isolation comprises one of optical isolation, inductive isolation and capacitive isolation;
a base station in communication with the at least one receiver, the base station comprising a processor configured to generate interconnect data associated with a first event detector among the plurality of event detectors, the interconnect data being information about the first event detector based, at least in part, on the interconnect signals, wherein:
the processor generates interconnect metadata indicative of a history of false alerts from at least one event detector of the plurality of event detectors,
each event detector of the plurality of event detectors is associated with each other event detector of the plurality of event detectors,
the interconnect metadata is based, at least in part, on data from a sensor that is proximate to the plurality of event detectors, and
the sensor data is not associated with the plurality of event detectors; and
a transmitter configured to transmit the interconnect data to a computing device via a network interface.
