How does an alarm system work?

0

After you’ve purchased your custom alarm system, we help you program the system’s communicator to dial the telephone number of an alarm receiver in our locally-based monitoring station. Your security system is connected to one of the regular telephone lines at your home or business for this purpose. When an alarm condition occurs, your security system “seizes” your analog telephone line and dials the alarm receiver. Your system transmits digital data identifying your account number and alarm condition and then releases your telephone line. Monitoring station personnel take over from here by contacting your home to verify the alarm condition and communicating with the authorities if necessary.
