Cellular Security Systems - GeoArm Security®

A cellular security system communicates alarm signals over wireless cellular towers. These types of systems utilize a cellular service provider (e.g. AT&T or Verizon) to send alarm signals between the security system's control panel to the end user and/or the GeoArm central monitoring station in the event of a breach or other security event. If professionally monitored, the live operator takes appropriate action, such as contacting the homeowner to verify if the alarm is a false alarm and then proceeds to dispatch the authorities. Being that it is a wireless communication path, it is designed to ensure that the alarm signals are transmitted even in areas without a wired Phone/VoIP, WiFi or Internet connection. The security system uses the existing cellular network infrastructure to communicate with the GeoArm monitoring center. This means that in the event of a power outage or disruption of the internet service, the security system will still be able to communicate with GeoArm's monitoring center via the cellular network.

The main reasons to choose an cellular security system are:

1. Reliability: Unlike WiFi signals, cellular signals are more reliable and less prone to interference or signal loss. This ensures that the security system can communicate flawlessly even when the network is congested.

2. Portability: A cellular security system is portable and can work anywhere there is cellular network coverage. This makes it ideal for use in remote locations where WiFi signals may be weak or non-existent.

3. Security: Cellular networks have encryption and other security features that make them more secure than WiFi networks. This means that the security system communication is less likely to be hacked or compromised.

4. Backup Power: Cellular security systems are often battery-powered, which means they can continue to function even during power outages, making them more reliable than traditional security systems.
