 Alarm System Basics

 In today's world, it's absolutely vital to take positive steps to ensure the safety of your family and property. An alarm system monitored by Monitronics can provide you with the protection and peace of mind you deserve.

How an Alarm System Works

A residential alarm system has four parts - window/door sensors, a motion detector, the alarm unit, and a control panel with display and keypad. Your Monitronics Authorized Dealer will work with you to select a secure place to install the alarm unit, as well as a convenient location near an entryway for the control panel.

Whether your alarm self-activates or you initiate the call for help, your alarm system will seize your phone line and dial Monitronics. Following strict procedures, our professional dispatchers act quickly to contact you and verify your alarm signal and situation. Within seconds after your signal, the appropriate police, fire, medical, or other authorities are on their way to your home.
