Frequently Asked Questions
About Monitoring
Cellular monitoring uses cellular technology (just like your smartphone uses) to connect your security system to our U.L. Certified Professional Monitoring Station. It’s the most secure and reliable option since you don’t have to worry about internet outages. Simply put, it’s harder for burglars to hack.
Since Internet monitoring uses high-speed internet to connect your security system to our Monitoring Station, it’s the fastest connection among the three. In the event of an internet outage, you’ll want cellular monitoring as a backup.
Landline monitoring uses a plain old telephone system (POTS system) or landline to connect your security system to our Monitoring Station. It’s the most minimal security monitoring coverage available. You cannot connect your landline to a smart home system, and it is easy for burglars to cut your line. If you choose a landline monitoring system, we recommend a backup monitoring method such as cellular or internet monitoring.
The most common and recommended pairing is internet monitoring and cellular monitoring to make sure you’re always protected. We recommend internet as your primary method and cellular as your backup communication.
This way, if your WIFI connection or Internet Service Provider has any downtime or outages – or if there’s a utility power outage – you’ll still have security monitoring with cellular technology as a backup.
When combined, these two monitoring methods keep you covered 24/7
Internet and cellular monitoring are both more secure than landline monitoring. Since cellular is wireless, burglars can’t cut any wires to disconnect your communication outside the premise. An experienced burglar can disconnect your internet service or landline system, but you’ll always have cellular as the backup.
Plus, combining both internet and cellular monitoring still costs less than a traditional landline service since you won’t need to pay the phone company for that service any longer.
Yes, Alarm Relay supports most security systems. We’ll integrate our 24/7 monitoring services with your existing home security system. If you already have Cellular or Landline monitoring, then we recommend adding Internet monitoring as as backup so you have no downtime in the event of a cellular outage, or if someone cuts your landline.
No, you don’t need to have a landline in order to have an alarm system. If you already have one and want to continue using it, you can. We’ll work with your current system. We recommend having internet or cellular monitoring or a combination of both so you have one as your primary and the other as a second line of defense.
With both cellular and internet monitoring, you can connect to most smart home cameras and monitor your cameras from your smartphone. If you see something suspicious on your home security cameras, you can even use our Rescu App to dispatch an ambulance, police, or firefighters to your home with the touch of a button.
