Alarm Monitoring
What exactly is a central monitoring station? | |
 | |
 | Security systems send their signals over your telephone line to a central monitoring station-the facility that acts as the link between your home and the police, fire department, and emergency response authorities. A central station is manned 24 hours a day, 7 days a week by highly skilled operators trained to respond to emergencies. The station operator alerts the proper authorities and dispatches help. |
If the central monitoring station is notified via my phone line, how can I keep my family safe if the line is cut or out of service? | |
| |
 | That’s a valid concern. In the event that your phone line fails or is cut, there are back-up services that work in tandem with your home security system to ensure your safety-the most popular being an easy-to-install cellular radio service that contacts the central station in the event of an emergency. The only additional equipment required would be a small radio transmitter that connects to the control panel of your security system. |
