How an Alarm System Works
A burglar alarm system has four parts - window/door sensors, a motion detector, the alarm unit, and a security control panel. Your Monitronics Authorized Dealer will work with you to select a secure place to install the alarm unit, as well as a convenient location for the control panel.

Whether your alarm self-activates or you initiate the call for help, your security 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 of your signal, the appropriate police, fire, or other authorities are immediately on their way to your business.
