a signal through the physical connection (i.e. your traditional phone line) to our In-house Central Dispatch Station.It’s important to remember that landlines can be physically cut by a burglar or natural force such as falling trees.
That’s why we always recommend using a backup system – such as internet or cellular – whenever possible.
Homes in a cellular dead zone that also don’t have access to high-speed internet. Best if you want bare minimum security at the lowest cost.
Homes with smart home devices or homes without landlines. Not recommended if you want mobile apps, remote monitoring or a fast connection. Landlines have become rare as communication technology and web services advance.

through your Internet service provider.
With high-speed connections, signal speed increases significantly, often alerting the monitoring station within a few seconds of any alert.It’s important to remember that your internet routers may shut down if your building loses power.
Without the internet, no signal can be sent to the monitoring station.
That’s why we recommend using an internet system as your primary, and a cellular monitoring system as a backup. If the internet were to go down, the cellular connection would kick in and ensure you’re always protected.
Homes with high-speed internet, homes with smart devices for remote monitoring, and mobile app control.
Homes without access to reliable high-speed internet.

Cellular networks are the hardest for burglars to compromise since there are no wires to cut and the communication is encrypted.
It’s also a dedicated line strictly for your Alarm System, so the signal isn’t shared with other homes or networks.
For the most secure and reliable system, we recommend internet monitoring as your primary and cellular as your backup. Internet monitoring is the fastest, and cellular monitoring is the most reliable and secure.
