Home Security Monitoring in Las Vegas
24/7 home alarm monitoring in Las Vegas. Our monitoring center verifies intrusion, fire, and CO alarms and requests dispatch. We can take over your system.
Sting Alarm provides 24/7 home security monitoring for homeowners across the Las Vegas valley. When your system detects an intrusion, fire, or carbon monoxide, the signal goes straight to our UL-listed monitoring center, where trained specialists verify the alarm and coordinate police, fire, or medical response as needed. You also get instant alerts and full control of your system from your phone.
How home alarm monitoring works
Home alarm monitoring connects your security system to people who are watching around the clock. Here is what happens when an alarm is triggered:
- A sensor detects something. A door opens while the system is armed, a motion detector sees movement, or a smoke or CO detector goes off.
- The panel sends a signal. Your security panel sounds the siren and signals our monitoring center over its built-in cellular connection, with backup power if the electricity is out.
- The monitoring center verifies. A specialist reviews the event and tries to reach you to confirm whether it is real or a false alarm.
- Help is requested. If the alarm is real or cannot be ruled out, the monitoring center requests police, fire, or medical dispatch.
At the same time, you get an alert on your phone, so you always know what is happening at home.
What our home security monitoring includes
24/7 security and fire monitoring
Continuous supervision of intrusion, fire, and safety signals by our monitoring center, every day of the year, whether you are home, at work, or on vacation.
Instant mobile alerts and remote access
Real-time notifications and secure remote control of your system through the app. Arm and disarm, check cameras, and see which sensor was triggered from anywhere.
Police, fire, and medical dispatch
When a verified alarm event needs help, our monitoring center coordinates with local emergency responders.
Monitoring plan options
We offer monitoring plan options built around your household's needs, and we explain the monitoring agreement clearly before you decide. Monitored systems require a 3-year monitoring agreement.
What gets monitored
Door and window sensors. Each sensor has two parts, one on the door or window and one on the frame. When the system is armed and someone opens it, the circuit breaks and the alarm is triggered.
Motion sensors. A couple of well-placed motion detectors can cover the high-traffic areas of a home. They can be adjusted to ignore pets up to 40 pounds, so your dog does not set off the alarm.
Smoke, heat, and carbon monoxide detectors. Monitored life safety sensors matter most when you are away. Smoke detectors alert on smoke or rapidly rising heat, and CO detectors sense dangerous levels of a gas you cannot see or smell.
Water sensors. A water leak sensor in the right place catches leaks early and helps limit damage.
Sirens and signs. A loud siren alerts everyone in the home and nearby neighbors, and yard signs and window decals let would-be burglars know the home is protected.
Video verification
With a standard monitored system, the monitoring center cannot see your cameras. With video verification, our monitoring center can view your camera feeds only while an alarm event is active. That lets the operator see what triggered the alarm and pass that information to police, which helps responders treat it as a real event. Add smart home cameras to your system to make video verification possible.
Monitored vs. unmonitored alarm systems
An unmonitored system sounds the siren and may send you a text or app notification, but calling for help is up to you. If you are asleep, in a meeting, or out of the country, that alert can be missed. A monitored system makes sure someone responds to every alarm, which is why we recommend monitoring for every home.
Already have a system? We can take it over
Sting Alarm can often take over monitoring of compatible home security equipment without a full system replacement. Our technicians evaluate your existing system and move it to our monitoring platform efficiently. You keep the equipment that works, gain dependable response procedures, and get local support from a team that answers the phone. If your current panel is out of date, we can recommend a smart security panel upgrade. Coming from Cox? See switching from Cox Homelife.

Frequently asked questions
What is home alarm monitoring?
Home alarm monitoring connects your security system to a monitoring center that watches for alarm signals 24 hours a day. When a sensor is triggered, the panel signals the monitoring center, which works to verify the alarm and requests police, fire, or medical dispatch when needed.
How does the monitoring center respond to an alarm?
When your system sends an alarm, our monitoring center reviews the signal, tries to contact you to confirm whether it is real or a false alarm, and requests the appropriate emergency responders if it is real or cannot be ruled out. If you have video verification, the operator can view your cameras during the active alarm.
Can I switch my alarm monitoring to Sting Alarm?
Often, yes. Sting Alarm can take over monitoring of many compatible home security systems without a full replacement. Our technicians evaluate your existing equipment and move it to our monitoring platform.
What is the difference between a monitored and an unmonitored alarm?
An unmonitored alarm sounds the siren and may send you a notification, but it is up to you to see it and call for help. A monitored alarm also signals our monitoring center, so someone responds even if you miss the alert or cannot reach your phone.
Does monitoring cover fire and carbon monoxide?
Yes. Monitored smoke, heat, and carbon monoxide detectors report to our monitoring center the same way intrusion sensors do, so fire and CO alarms get a response even when nobody is home.
What happens if my internet goes down?
Our smart security panels have a built-in cellular connection and backup power, so alarm signals can still reach our monitoring center during an internet outage.
Do I need a contract?
Yes. Monitored systems require a 3-year monitoring agreement. We walk you through the agreement and answer your questions before you sign.
