Broadband monitoring:
Broadband monitoring is perfect for customers who use cell phones as a primary source of contact because with this option, a landline telephone is not a requirement. The master control panel of the security system plugs into an available port on your modem or router instead of a telephone line in order to connect the home and the monitoring facility. When the perimeter of any protected zone is breached, an alarm sounds and the security system sends a signal through the Broadband Internet connection to the monitoring facility. If the monitoring facility determines that there is an emergency, the local authorities are contacted.
Two-way voice:
The final option for monitoring your security system is called two-way voice. With two-way voice, the command station for the security system acts as an intercom that connects the household directly to the monitoring facility through the telephone line. When an alarm goes off, instead of calling over the phone, the monitoring facility can speak directly over the intercom to check on the situation. If there is an emergency, the monitoring facility contacts the local authorities.
