Quick answer
How does 24/7 security monitoring work?
Your alarm panel and cameras send events over the internet or a cellular communicator. Smart camera detection filters out wind, animals and headlights, and real events are sent to your phone and, where you choose, to a monitoring centre or armed response company.
Otene Technologies installs the communicators, sets up detection zones, tests the signal path and keeps the system healthy, so monitoring is reliable when it matters.
