24/7 Professional Monitoring

Serious Home Protection is Backed by Pros

When an emergency happens, you need more than an alert. You need action.

That’s why LS Security delivers 24/7 professional monitoring as a critical life-safety service—verifying threats, coordinating response, and dispatching police, fire, or EMS when it matters most.

How it works

An event is detected
A sensor detects unusual activity or an emergency and sends a signal to the monitoring center.
The monitoring center verifies
Trained operators review the signal. When video or other connected devices are available, they can use that additional information to better understand what’s happening.
Help is dispatched
If a real threat is confirmed, operators immediately contact local police, fire, or EMS.
You stay informed
See alerts, status updates, and operator actions in real time through the Alarm.com app.

24/7 Protection, Home or Away

Home, away, or asleep—monitoring never clocks out. When an emergency happens, trained operators handle the response and keep you updated every step of the way in the app.

Stay Connected During Outages

Cellular communication keeps your system connected even if power or internet is lost. And if someone tries to disable your panel, help will still be dispatched.

Clearer Decisions

Monitoring operators review sensor activity alongside other data, like video if available, to understand what’s actually happening before taking action.

Fewer False Alarms

If an alarm is triggered, you can verify or cancel it within seconds from the app—and even communicate directly with the monitoring station. AI-powered insights help reduce false alarms and prioritize real emergencies.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does professional monitoring mean?

Professional monitoring means trained operators are available 24/7 to verify alarms and contact emergency services on your behalf.

What happens when an alarm is triggered?

The monitoring center receives the signal, verifies the event using available data, and may contact you to confirm what’s happening before dispatching emergency services if needed.

In the app, you can view system activity, see camera snapshots when available, and quickly cancel or verify the alarm.

Is professional monitoring worth the cost?

Yes, professional monitoring can absolutely be worth it. Beyond just an extra layer of home security, professional monitoring is a cost-effective investment that protects your home, reduces risk, and saves money over time. Read more here.

Are monitoring operators watching my cameras all the time?

No. In standard professional monitoring setups, operators do not continuously watch live video.

Customers work with LS Security to define when and how monitoring operators can access system data.

Every action taken during an alarm is logged. From the in-app activity feed, you can see exactly when your system was accessed, what action was taken, and when it happened.

What if I need a few extra minutes to leave after arming my system?

Most systems include entry and exit delays, giving you time to leave after arming or disarm the system when you return before the alarm triggers.

Can I trigger an alarm from my phone?

Yes. With the Alarm.com app, you can trigger a panic alarm directly from your phone. This sends an immediate signal to the monitoring center so trained operators can respond quickly.
