What is Cellular Alarm Monitoring?

Remote Access, Flexibility and Security.


Cellular alarm monitoring helps make sure your devices and security system always are connected to Emergency Alert Security's central monitoring stations. In the event of an emergency situation you will have the help you need when you need it.


What is Cellular Alarm Monitoring?

Cellular alarm monitoring is the new standard operating procedure for home security monitoring. Operating on a dedicated cellular channel, the system will send a wireless signal via a secure, encrypted transmission to our monitoring department in case of emergency. Additionally, cellular monitoring uses its own dedicated network to send and receive signals, so you do not need a cell phone to have cellular monitoring on your system.

Are Landlines Obsolete?

Nearly 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, most will likely be retired in favor of more reliable, cost effective and flexible cellular communication.

What are the Benefits of Cellular Alarm Monitoring?

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


Plus with cellular alarm monitoring, you stay connected no matter what. Since it transmits on a separate, secure wireless network, your system remains in constant communication with the central station. Even when:

  • Power outages cut lines due to extreme weather
  • You change telephone service providers
  • Burglars cut your lines prior to a attempted burglary
