What is cellular monitoring?

Cellular alarm monitoring service is the new standard in home security monitoring. Operating on a dedicated cellular channel, the system sends a wireless signal via a secure, encrypted transmission to the Monitoring Center in case of emergency. Cellular monitoring uses its own dedicated network to send and receive signals, so you do not need a cell phone to upgrade to cellular monitoring.

Are landlines becoming obsolete?

Almost 25% of Americans now live in homes without a landline and that figure doubles among young adults (aged 25-29). While there is no hard cut-off date for landline termination, Plain Old Telephone Service (POTS) will most likely be retired in favor of more reliable, cost effective and flexible cellular communication.

What are the benefits of cellular monitoring?

Cellular monitoring systems are easy to install without the need for drilling or re-wiring.

As more people switch to cell phones as their only source of communication, Cellular Monitoring has become more relevant and is now the standard for home security solutions.

You stay connected, no matter what.

Transmitting on a separate, secure wireless network, cellular monitoring means being in constant communication with the central station when:

  • Power outages cut lines due to extreme weather
  • You change telephone service provider
  • Burglars cut your lines prior to entry

Turn your phone into a remote control for your home.

The Cost of Flooding and How to Avoid it

Flooding happens. Whether through natural or manmade causes, the result is often heartache and headache. Mold will start to form after 24 hours, and months of cleanup, financial burden, and negotiations with insurance companies will follow.

Fortunately, My Alarm Center has developed products to protect your home, and peace of mind. Flood Aware and Flood Avert systems alert you the minute floodwaters are detected, and can even turn off your main water line to stop floodwater before it has a chance to ruin your day.
