Professional
monitoring
is
a service
that
can
alert the authorities and
notify
you and
your emergency contacts when Ring Alarm
Pro
detects a security
threat
. A Ring Protect

How
does
it
work?
When a threat
is
detected,
your
Alarm Pro
sends a signal
to
the
monitoring
center.
The
monitoring
center calls you
to
verify
that
the emergency
is
real, and
can
dispatch emergency responders
to
your
home
if
needed.
