Q: What is 24/7 monitoring? A: 24/7 Professional Monitoring enables secure and complete security, wherever you are. If an alarm is triggered, certified experts from our monitoring centers will be immediately notified and take the appropriate action.

Central Station Security (C.O.P.S.) SimpliSafe's professional monitoring is routed through a third-party company named Central Station Security (C.O.P.S.) - a TMA Five Diamond-certified company with six monitoring stations across the US.

Professional security monitoring refers to when a person offsite (in a professional monitoring centre) receives an alarm signal from your systems and responds on your behalf, which may include calling the police or fire brigade.

When the sensors on a professionally monitored system trigger, the alert goes to a monitoring center. From there, trained professionals contact you or call emergency responders. Self-monitored systems cut out the middleman, allowing you to assess the situation yourself.

SimpliSafe creates its own home security equipment and offers a base station and keypads, motion sensors, entry sensors, smoke detectors, stand-alone sirens, keychain remotes, panic buttons, water sensors, freezing sensors, indoor security cameras, glass break sensors, and CO detectors.

Rather than just ticking one of these boxes, the SimpliSafe system would actually fall under monitored alarm, smart alarm and wireless alarm. That way you can rest assured that you, your family, your home and your belongings are receiving the best possible protection.

SimpliSafe has six monitoring centers around the nation to guarantee customers built-in redundancy in the event of a natural disaster.

SimpliSafe Home Security System Specs SimpliSafe (starting at $245) is a DIY smart home security system that's easy to set up and use, and keeps your home safe from intruders and environmental threats like fires and floods.

SimpliSafe's program uses cellular monitoring by default, with no landline or Wi-Fi required. The cellular connection is built into the system, meaning it's not using your cellular minutes or data plan.

Professional home security monitoring is a service in which a monitoring center receives an alert from your home security system if it detects a burglary, fire, or some other problem.

Most security experts recommend professional monitoring because self-monitoring poses significant safety risks, primarily because it's impossible to monitor your own security system 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
