What is Professional monitoring?
In short
Professional monitoring shows whether a monitoring centre watches alerts on your behalf.
Professional monitoring means a monitoring centre watches alerts for you rather than only your phone. ADT says yes for its monitoring plans, and Abode, Ajax Systems and Alder all say yes. AlfredCamera says no, so alerts stay with the owner. Readers who cannot check a phone while out, or who travel often, tend to weight this split heavily when choosing a brand.
