Unmonitored security systems are no match to the guaranteed protection of professional security monitoring. If there is an emergency —like a burglary—an unmonitored system will merely sound an alarm. A burglar could continue robbing you. With an alarm monitored system, though, your security alarm communicates to an offsite monitoring center to dispatch notification procedures. If you want to guarantee 24/7 protection, professional alarm monitoring is the best security system option.
