Non-interactive alarm monitoring: This is the industry standard monitoring service where your home security system sends alerts to the GeoArm monitoring center if an alarm is triggered, such as a break-in, fire or carbon monoxide detection. Typically, the monitoring center operator will then attempt to contact you or your emergency contacts to verify if the alarm was a false alarm, or if further action is required. If the operator is unable to contact you or your emergency contacts (adhering to two call verification to reduce false alarms), then they will dispatch the authorities to your home. Please take note, that this type of monitoring service does not allow you to remotely monitor or control your home security system using a smartphone app or web portal.
Interactive alarm monitoring: This is an added monitoring service that gives homeowners the ability to remotely manage and control their home security systems using a smartphone app or web portal. With interactive monitoring, homeowners can receive real-time notifications and alerts on their phones, view live video feeds from their security cameras, arm or disarm their security systems, and control other smart home devices like locks, lights, and thermostats from their mobile devices. Additionally, our interactive monitoring services also include our GeoArm 24/7 professional monitoring center, where trained operators will dispatch the authorities (following non-interactive "two-call verification" monitoring protocol) in case of a security breach or emergency.
