Traditionally, the telephone line is used to connect your home alarm system and our monitoring center. In recent years, though, the emergence of broadband and VOIP telephone services, as well as the problems caused by vandalism, construction, weather and clever burglars, which can disable your telephone, have created the need to develop other ways to connect your home security system with our monitoring center.

As a response to these scenarios we now offer two alternatives to the traditional landline-based security system: broadband / VOIP security systems and cell phone based security systems.

Broadband / VOIP Alarm System Solutions

If you’re considering using new VoIP technologies to do away with your traditional phone line, however, be aware that your home security alarm system could suffer some performance issues.

The industry has yet to establish a uniform set of standards for VoIP technology – and, in some cases, VOIP home security systems may not properly transmit signals to the monitoring station. Your local Monitronics representative can help you determine the options that are right for you.

Cell Phone Home Security Alarm Monitoring

In cases where traditional phone lines are not available, including VoIP and other wireless security systems, communications are still possible using a cell phone as the primary connection to Monitronics.

Cellular connections to Monitronics' monitoring station are typically made using our cellular systems and components. All cellular systems are located within your home, providing further protection from outside tampering, and can be used as either primary or backup security.
