When the home alarm system installed in your possession reacts to an emergency situation, the control panel is activated. A unit within that panel is encoded with different alarm signals and other vital information. This data consists of your private account number and the type of activities being monitored – for example, break-in, fire, panic, medical, and/or other emergencies. At the time of alarm activation, the control panel connects with your existing telephone line and delivers your system’s coded alarm signs to the Central Monitoring Station. Always try to include alarm systems in your residential security system for better protection.
