Monitoring plays a huge role in the effectiveness of a security system. When considering monitoring centers, it's important to do the research. Find out about their valid dispatch rate, their operator to account ratio and their false alarm fine guarantees. Many monitoring centers have false alarm rates in the 94-98% range and expect one person to "watch" 10,000 accounts. Both of these are totally unacceptable. Talk to local police and ask the monitoring center for and check references. I agree. Monitoring plays a huge role in the effectiveness of a security system.
