How It Works

How 24/7 Alarm Monitoring Works

When professional monitoring is enabled, compatible Ajax alarm events can move from detection to operator review, notification, and response based on your system configuration and selected monitoring plan.

1
Alarm Event Detected
Configured Ajax devices detect supported events such as intrusion, motion, smoke, carbon monoxide, or water leaks and send an alarm through the system.
The event enters the configured alarm workflow.
2
Signal Sent to the Monitoring Center
The Ajax hub sends alarm events to the monitoring center through its configured communication paths. If the primary connection is unavailable, a configured cellular backup path can carry alarm data.
Configured backup channels provide an alternate communication path.
3
Event Reviewed
Monitoring operators review available sensor data, compatible MotionCam images, and supported camera images or video events when camera verification is enabled for the account. They then follow the selected verification procedure.
Photo and video context can support a more informed assessment.
4
Response Plan Followed
Based on the event, account instructions, and local requirements, operators may contact designated people or request police, fire, or EMS dispatch when appropriate.
Actions follow the account plan and applicable local procedures.
5
You Receive Updates
You receive Ajax app notifications with the event type, system status, and available verification images from supported devices.
Stay informed through Ajax app alerts.

Why It Matters

Professional Monitoring vs Self-Monitoring

Both options can provide Ajax app alerts, but they handle alarm response differently. Professional monitoring adds trained operators who can review supported events and follow the response procedures configured for your account.

24/7 Alarm Monitoring FAQs

How does 24/7 alarm monitoring work?

When a supported Ajax device detects an alarm event, the hub sends the event to the monitoring center through an available configured communication channel. A trained operator reviews the information received, uses available photo, video, and sensor data for context, and follows the response plan assigned to your account.

Can an Ajax alarm be verified with photos or video?

Yes. Supported Ajax MotionCam devices and compatible camera systems can provide visual information for alarm verification when configured for the monitoring service. Operators can review available images, video, and sensor data before following the account response procedure.

What happens after the monitoring center receives an alarm?

A trained operator reviews the event and follows the instructions configured for your account. Depending on the event, available verification data, monitoring plan, and local requirements, the operator may contact designated people or request police, fire, or EMS dispatch.

Will alarm monitoring continue if the internet goes down?

An Ajax hub with an active and configured cellular connection can send supported alarm events over a cellular network when local internet is unavailable. The backup path depends on the hub model, cellular service, signal availability, and system configuration.

Can I control and monitor my Ajax system from anywhere?

Yes. The Ajax app allows you to arm or disarm the system, receive alerts, check system status, and view supported cameras or verification images from anywhere your phone and security system have a data connection. Available controls depend on your devices and user permissions.

How much does professional alarm monitoring cost in Houston?

Residential alarm monitoring plans start at $29 per month. Higher-tier plans can include monitoring for supported automation and environmental devices or video verification. Equipment, installation, and commercial monitoring are priced separately.

Does ASPEX Secure require a long-term monitoring contract?

No long-term monitoring contract is required. Monitoring service can be canceled with 30 days’ written notice, subject to the applicable service terms.
