A method for training an alarm system to classify audio of an event, wherein the alarm system is connected to a neural network trained to classify audio as an event type, the method comprising the steps of: receiving audio recorded during a first period of time; transmitting the audio to an external unit; receiving data from the external unit indicating a sub-period of time of the audio and data indicating an event type of the indicated sub-period of time of the audio; and re-training the neural network by inputting a sub-period of the audio corresponding to the indicated sub-period of time of the audio and using the indicated event type as a correct classification of the sub-period of the audio.
