1. A portable alarm system, comprising:
a portable base unit having a microprocessor and a wireless transceiver in electrical communication with the microprocessor, the microprocessor being configured to receive a signal indicative of a trigger event detected by a sensor, and the transceiver being configured to communicate over wireless networks;
wherein the microprocessor is further configured to cause the transceiver to communicate trigger events to a cell phone device and to selectively communicate trigger events to a monitoring station based upon the type of trigger event detected by the sensor and in response to pre-programmed rules provided by a user of the portable alarm system; and
wherein the microprocessor is further configured to receive an override signal from a cell phone device and, in response to receipt of the over-ride signal, prevent communication of a preceding trigger event to the monitoring station notwithstanding a pre-programmed rule that would otherwise cause such trigger event to be communicated to the monitoring station, wherein the over-ride signal is generated by the cell phone device in response to an over-ride rule selectively configured on the cell phone device by a user at a time before the trigger event is communicated from the transceiver to the cell phone device.
