The system will not be enabled to communicate with a central monitoring station for automatic emergency dispatch. It is then up to the end user to contact the necessary authorities on their own. Self-monitoring means that the end user receives text and/or email alerts regarding any system activity, including alarms. Our central station monitoring plans range from $15 per month (Bronze) to $45 per month (Platinum). In other words, a central station plan of Silver Plan or higher will essentially function as both a central station plan and a self-monitoring plan all-in-one. This is in addition to central monitoring service. Please note that all central station monitoring plans that include automatic dispatch (Silver & Up) also provide texts and/or email alerts. If the dispatcher is unable to contact the end user, if the end user is unable to provide their false alarm passcode, or if the end user speaks their duress code, they will send out the necessary local authorities.Īutomatic dispatch from a central station can include the police, fire department, and emergency medical services in most jurisdictions. A trained dispatcher will check this signal and (in most cases) attempt to contact the end user. When a system goes into alarm it sends out a signal that is ultimately received by the central station. A central station is a dispatching center that operates continuously, 24/7. Plans are split between central station monitoring and self-monitoring.Ĭentral station monitoring means that the security system is able to communicate with a central monitoring station.
