Cellular alarm monitoring uses a cellular data plan to connect to a professional or remote monitoring service. 

First of all, let’s determine what “monitoring” means. When a fire alarm system is monitored, it means that someone has remote access to the device’s alarm. “Monitoring” usually describes either professional monitoring or remote monitoring. Professional monitoring is when the alarm company monitors the alarms in the home. If an alarm triggers in the home, the notification will be sent to the alarm company. When the alarm company receives the alarm, they will call the homeowner. If the homeowner doesn’t respond to the phone call, the alarm company will assume that the alarm is real and send the fire department to the scene. Typically, this process takes less than one minute to complete. Remote monitoring is done by the homeowner—the smart alarm pairs with an app on the homeowner’s phone. The device, using the app, will send a notification to the homeowner if an alarm triggers. Both types of monitoring can be used to gain additional protection against fires and carbon monoxide leaks.  

Why would a person want their home to be monitored? Homes that are monitored are less likely to sustain substantial fire damage from a house fire. In an unmonitored home, the fire alarm will trigger. However, if no one is home, no one will hear the alarm. The fire in an unmonitored home will grow and burn until the flames are bursting from the windows. At this point, a neighbor will hopefully notice and call the fire department. If the fire department can subdue the flames, the fire will have already done severe damage to the interior and frame of the home. Having a monitored system ensures that firefighters are on their way before the flames cause severe damage to the home.  

Cellular alarm monitoring adds a second layer of protection to your home. There are three types of monitoring methods: hardwired, wifi, and cellular.   

1. Hardwired Alarm Monitoring 

A hardwired alarm works like a landline phone and is usually paired with a professional monitoring alarm company. This type of alarm is reliable; however, it faces the same drawbacks that a landline phone might face. The most important drawback of hardwired monitoring is that it will fail if the power is out. Hardwired systems are connected directly to the phone line, meaning that if a power line in your neighborhood is knocked down, the alarm system will fail. Some states are prone to power outages during severe weather storms or heat waves. During these natural disasters, it’s vital to have your alarm monitoring system up and running. Sadly, a hardwired device could fail at this critical time. 

2. Wifi Alarm Monitoring 

Wifi alarm monitoring is entirely wireless. The alarm system will rely on batteries instead of wires. In some ways, the wifi alarm system is considered easier and more efficient than the hardwired alarm system. Because the devices use batteries instead of wires, they are easier to install in the home (they won’t need to be professionally installed). However, wifi alarms face a similar issue as the hardwired alarm. If the power goes out, the wifi will disconnect, leaving the alarm defenseless.   

3. Cellular Alarm Monitoring 

Cellular alarm monitoring neither relies on wiring or wifi. Like the name would suggest, cellular alarm monitoring uses cellular data. As long as your phone can connect to the internet, so will your alarm system. Cellular alarm monitoring is the most effective type of alarm monitoring available. Cellular alarm monitoring works like sending a text message, making it more reliable than other types of alarm monitoring. 

So, how does it work? Cellular alarm monitoring works by using a “cellular chip” or “module” installed inside each cellular device. The cellular chip is what helps the device to communicate with the alarm company or the remote app. The signaling entirely relies on the cellular chip, meaning that no wires are needed. Instead, the chip sends the cellular signal to a cell tower. The signal bounces from the cell tower to the necessary destination. Essentially, devices that use cellular monitoring are like cell phones themselves. When an alert is sent, it works like a text message and is delivered the same second that the alarm triggers.

Luna has chosen to rely on cellular alarm monitoring because cellular alarm monitoring is faster and more efficient than other types of monitoring systems. 

Luna’s smoke detector is one of the highest-rated smoke detectors in the nation. The five-star smoke detector uses photoelectric technology to determine whether or not there is smoke in the air. The sensor can determine the difference between smoke from a crispy bagel and smoke from a fire starting in the trash can. Determining the difference between smoke ensures that Luna’s devices have fewer false alarms than any other type of smoke alarm.  

Luna is a unique smoke detector that has the ability to sense smoke, carbon monoxide, humidity, temperature, and air pollutants. On top of that, Luna has chosen to use cellular monitoring as its main form of communication. Why? 

One of the most important features of a smart device is the device’s ability to communicate. Without communication, the device falls flat and is unable to deliver the services that the user is looking for. Without those services, the user is left with a malfunctioning device that doesn’t deliver on its promises. Communication is key.  

Many smart smoke devices are unable to deliver on their promises to the user because of a variety of different circumstances. If the smoke alarm uses wifi and the wifi stops working, the smart alarm company will blame the lapse on the user’s faulty wifi. If a hardwired device loses connection, the alarm company might blame it on the city’s power grid.  

Luna wants its customers to feel safe and protected at all times, including when the power is out. By using a cellular monitoring station, Luna ensures that there are no excuses for a faulty alarm. If the alarm triggers, the fire department will be on its way to solve the problem. To answer the question of why Luna uses cellular monitoring: we have to understand Luna’s values. Luna is determined to give customers everything that is promised. By using a cellular service, Luna gives customers a reliable, unbreakable connection with their smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, ensuring that fires are always caught and stopped before the house sustains significant fire damage. 

Luna is the most affordable and reliable fire alarm system on the market. 

Luna is one of the best choices a household can make to protect their home and family. What makes Luna different from any other smoke detector? There are several aspects of Luna that set it apart from other smoke alarms. Here’s how cellular connection ensures that Luna is the best option for fire protection and safety: 

1. Access to a Unique Mobile App 

Using cellular services, Luna users can gain access to a unique mobile app. This mobile app includes everything that homeowners might need in order to better protect their home. Included in this mobile app is: 

• Smoke Alarm Access. With the mobile app, users will have access to each and every smoke alarm in the house. If a smoke alarm is accidentally triggered, or if it was triggered and you’ve already extinguished the fire, you can simply deactivate the alarm from the app. This means that you won’t have to worry about grabbing a chair and balancing in order to turn off your smoke detector’s alarm. 
• Emergency Chatroom. The Luna app comes with an emergency chatroom. Inside the emergency chatroom, the user can send texts such as, “My dog is in a crate in the living room,” or, “I have two cats inside the house.” The emergency chatroom allows the users to clarify who or what is still inside the house so the firefighters can act accordingly. 
• Battery Updates. Smoke alarms are notorious for setting off their low battery alerts in the middle of the night. The homeowner then has to wake up, find the batteries, and replace them before the alarm will turn off. Luna uses the battery to give the user constant battery updates. 
• Live CO Alarm. In the app, the user will find several things listed. One of the listings will be for carbon monoxide. Luna is a dual sensor that detects both smoke and carbon monoxide. If there is a carbon monoxide leak in the app, the user will get an update on their mobile app. 
• Air Quality Updates. Luna detects more than carbon monoxide and smoke. Luna’s goal is to protect the household from every possible threat, including humidity, temperature, and air pollutants. Luna will update the family on the air quality inside the home to prevent mold growth, frozen pipes, or other in-home complications that could potentially harm a member of the family. 

2. 24/7 Professional Monitoring 

Professional monitoring is something that should never be overlooked in a fire alarm system. The mobile app from Luna gives users access to remote monitoring, but what happens if the user is unable to reach their phone? This is where professional monitoring comes from. If an alarm isn’t silenced as a false alarm, Luna’s monitoring center will call the user. If the user either does not pick up the phone, or they confirm that they aren’t home, Luna will alert the local fire department. 

Professional monitoring ensures that someone is always watching the alarms, even when the user is unable to see the notifications from the app. Professional monitoring is another layer of protection and communication.  

3. Peace of Mind 

Using cellular services gives users peace of mind. Having peace and security over your home, family, pets, or business eases stress. Each feature and benefit that is included with cellular monitoring works towards protecting the people and places you love. Cellular alarm monitoring ensures that your home and family are protected and insured. Luna is dedicated to protecting every household member by combining important features in their fire alarm systems. Luna believes that safety is absolutely vital and that every home deserves to enjoy an elevated level of protection, especially from a preventable fire or carbon monoxide leak. Because of Luna’s mindset and beliefs, homeowners can rest easy knowing that Luna protects their entire household. 

Homeowners, parents, pet owners, elderly adults, and business owners all benefit from cellular alarm monitoring. 

Cellular alarm monitoring comes with a variety of benefits, from easy installation and reliability. Typically, these benefits appeal to certain people. So, who benefits most from cellular alarm monitoring?  

1. Homeowners

Our homes are meant to be our sanctuaries. When a homeowner comes home from a long day of work, they want to rest and relax. No one wants to worry about the safety of their home. Cellular alarm monitoring ensures that your home is always monitored and protected. With alarm monitoring, homeowners can watch directly over their property. Many homeowners use cellular monitoring because it gives them greater control over their homes, allowing them to know what’s happening, even when there is no one inside. A study conducted by the NFPA found that homes and apartments that used monitored fire alarms were less likely to see severe fire damage or fire-related deaths. Homeowners who want to protect their homes, ensuring the safety of all household members, use cellular alarm monitoring. 

2. Parents

It’s common to hear that the love of a parent is unmistakable and immeasurable. Parents love their children more than anything else in the world. Because of that, parents constantly think about the safety of their children. In most homes, parents begin leaving children between the ages of nine and twelve home alone for short periods of time. Children older than twelve are often considered old enough to babysit younger children. However, how would young children react if the fire alarm or carbon monoxide alarm triggers? Most children will first try to put out the fire, fearing the possible repercussions of starting a fire in the home. After that, the children will panic. Cellular monitoring ensures that the parents will know immediately that there is a fire in the home. They can alert the fire department to send help to the home right away, before any of the children are harmed. Parents find comfort in using cellular monitoring because of its reliability and its promise to protect children of all ages. 

3. Pet Owners 

According to recent studies, pet owners spend more to keep their pets happy and healthy than they spend on themselves. Pets, to most pet owners, are considered family members, and the pet owner will stop at nothing to keep them safe, protected, happy, and healthy. Because of this, most pet owners prefer to use a cellular monitored fire and carbon monoxide alarm. Cellular monitored alarms protect pets from fires and air pollutants. If a pet is trapped in a dangerous home, they are more vulnerable than people and children. The smoke is more likely to harm their health and they are unable to leave the home. Because of this, many pet owners use cellular monitoring to protect their pets from the dangers of smoke and carbon monoxide. 

4. Elderly Adults 

A study from the NFPA found that some people are significantly more likely to die in a house fire. Individuals who are at risk include those who have: 

• Taken psychotropic or sedative drugs,
• Been in a fire started by a discarded cigarette,
• Been living alone,
• Been more than 70 years of age,
• Been asleep at the time of the fire,
• Been in the room of origin at the time of the fire,
•  Consumed alcohol before the fire, or
•  Been suffering from a physical illness. 

Many of the at-risk factors include things such as old age, nighttime medications, illnesses, and living alone, which are factors that describe many elderly adults in the United States. Elderly adults often must take precautions to guarantee safety when living at home. Some older adults use medical alert buttons that can tell when the person has fallen. This device protects older adults from fallings and injuring themselves while living alone. Cellular alarm monitoring for fire alarms is a similar device, offering unlimited protection for older adults who might be in the at-risk group for fire fatality. 

5. Business Owners 

Business owners need to protect their businesses from fire. Most business fires happen at night due to an accident. Restaurant fires are most common, but fires will also occur in factories and other buildings with a lot of flammable material. If there is a fire in a building after hours, most businesses will lose thousands of dollars in losses. Having a cellular monitored alarm can protect business owners from severe financial loss. 

Cellular alarm monitoring uses a cellular data plan to connect to a professional or remote monitoring service.

When a fire alarm system is monitored, it means that someone has remote access to the device’s alarm. “Monitoring” usually describes either professional monitoring or remote monitoring. Professional monitoring is when the alarm company monitors the alarms in the home. If an alarm triggers in the home, the notification will be sent to the alarm company. When the alarm company receives the alarm, they will call the homeowner. If the homeowner doesn’t respond to the phone call, the alarm company will assume that the alarm is real and send the fire department to the scene. Typically, this process takes less than one minute to complete. Remote monitoring is done by the homeowner—the smart alarm pairs with an app on the homeowner’s phone. The device, using the app, will send a notification to the homeowner if an alarm triggers. Both types of monitoring can be used to gain additional protection against fires and carbon monoxide leaks.  

Why would a person want their home to be monitored? Homes that are monitored are less likely to sustain substantial fire damage from a house fire. In an unmonitored home, the fire alarm will trigger. However, if no one is home, no one will hear the alarm. The fire in an unmonitored home will grow and burn until the flames are bursting from the windows. At this point, a neighbor will hopefully notice and call the fire department. If the fire department can subdue the flames, the fire will have already done severe damage to the interior and frame of the home. Having a monitored system ensures that firefighters are on their way before the flames cause severe damage to the home.  

Cellular alarm monitoring adds a second layer of protection to your home. There are three types of monitoring methods: hardwired, wifi, and cellular.   

1. Hardwired Alarm Monitoring 

A hardwired alarm works like a landline phone and is usually paired with a professional monitoring alarm company. This type of alarm is reliable; however, it faces the same drawbacks that a landline phone might face. The most important drawback of hardwired monitoring is that it will fail if the power is out. Hardwired systems are connected directly to the phone line, meaning that if a power line in your neighborhood is knocked down, the alarm system will fail. Some states are prone to power outages during severe weather storms or heat waves. During these natural disasters, it’s vital to have your alarm monitoring system up and running. Sadly, a hardwired device could fail at this critical time. 

2. Wifi Alarm Monitoring 

Wifi alarm monitoring is entirely wireless. The alarm system will rely on batteries instead of wires. In some ways, the wifi alarm system is considered easier and more efficient than the hardwired alarm system. Because the devices use batteries instead of wires, they are easier to install in the home (they won’t need to be professionally installed). However, wifi alarms face a similar issue as the hardwired alarm. If the power goes out, the wifi will disconnect, leaving the alarm defenseless.   

3. Cellular Alarm Monitoring 

Cellular alarm monitoring neither relies on wiring or wifi. Like the name would suggest, cellular alarm monitoring uses cellular data. As long as your phone can connect to the internet, so will your alarm system. Cellular alarm monitoring is the most effective type of alarm monitoring available. Cellular alarm monitoring works like sending a text message, making it more reliable than other types of alarm monitoring. 

So, how does it work? Cellular alarm monitoring works by using a “cellular chip” or “module” installed inside each cellular device. The cellular chip is what helps the device to communicate with the alarm company or the remote app. The signaling entirely relies on the cellular chip, meaning that no wires are needed. Instead, the chip sends the cellular signal to a cell tower. The signal bounces from the cell tower to the necessary destination. Essentially, devices that use cellular monitoring are like cell phones themselves. When an alert is sent, it works like a text message and is delivered the same second that the alarm triggers.

Luna has chosen to rely on cellular alarm monitoring because cellular alarm monitoring is faster and more efficient than other types of monitoring systems. 

Luna’s smoke detector is one of the highest-rated smoke detectors in the nation. The five-star smoke detector uses photoelectric technology to determine whether or not there is smoke in the air. The sensor can determine the difference between smoke from a crispy bagel and smoke from a fire starting in the trash can. Determining the difference between smoke ensures that Luna’s devices have fewer false alarms than any other type of smoke alarm.  

Luna is a unique smoke detector that has the ability to sense smoke, carbon monoxide, humidity, temperature, and air pollutants. On top of that, Luna has chosen to use cellular monitoring as its main form of communication. Why? 

One of the most important features of a smart device is the device’s ability to communicate. Without communication, the device falls flat and is unable to deliver the services that the user is looking for. Without those services, the user is left with a malfunctioning device that doesn’t deliver on its promises. Communication is key.  

Many smart smoke devices are unable to deliver on their promises to the user because of a variety of different circumstances. If the smoke alarm uses wifi and the wifi stops working, the smart alarm company will blame the lapse on the user’s faulty wifi. If a hardwired device loses connection, the alarm company might blame it on the city’s power grid.  

Luna wants its customers to feel safe and protected at all times, including when the power is out. By using a cellular monitoring station, Luna ensures that there are no excuses for a faulty alarm. If the alarm triggers, the fire department will be on its way to solve the problem. To answer the question of why Luna uses cellular monitoring: we have to understand Luna’s values. Luna is determined to give customers everything that is promised. By using a cellular service, Luna gives customers a reliable, unbreakable connection with their smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, ensuring that fires are always caught and stopped before the house sustains significant fire damage. 

Luna is the most affordable and reliable fire alarm system on the market. 

Luna is one of the best choices a household can make to protect their home and family. What makes Luna different from any other smoke detector? There are several aspects of Luna that set it apart from other smoke alarms. Here’s how cellular connection ensures that Luna is the best option for fire protection and safety: 

1. Access to a Unique Mobile App 

Using cellular services, Luna users can gain access to a unique mobile app. This mobile app includes everything that homeowners might need in order to better protect their home. Included in this mobile app is: 

• Smoke Alarm Access. With the mobile app, users will have access to each and every smoke alarm in the house. If a smoke alarm is accidentally triggered, or if it was triggered and you’ve already extinguished the fire, you can simply deactivate the alarm from the app. This means that you won’t have to worry about grabbing a chair and balancing in order to turn off your smoke detector’s alarm. 
• Emergency Chatroom. The Luna app comes with an emergency chatroom. Inside the emergency chatroom, the user can send texts such as, “My dog is in a crate in the living room,” or, “I have two cats inside the house.” The emergency chatroom allows the users to clarify who or what is still inside the house so the firefighters can act accordingly. 
• Battery Updates. Smoke alarms are notorious for setting off their low battery alerts in the middle of the night. The homeowner then has to wake up, find the batteries, and replace them before the alarm will turn off. Luna uses the battery to give the user constant battery updates. 
• Live CO Alarm. In the app, the user will find several things listed. One of the listings will be for carbon monoxide. Luna is a dual sensor that detects both smoke and carbon monoxide. If there is a carbon monoxide leak in the app, the user will get an update on their mobile app. 
• Air Quality Updates. Luna detects more than carbon monoxide and smoke. Luna’s goal is to protect the household from every possible threat, including humidity, temperature, and air pollutants. Luna will update the family on the air quality inside the home to prevent mold growth, frozen pipes, or other in-home complications that could potentially harm a member of the family. 

2. 24/7 Professional Monitoring 

Professional monitoring is something that should never be overlooked in a fire alarm system. The mobile app from Luna gives users access to remote monitoring, but what happens if the user is unable to reach their phone? This is where professional monitoring comes from. If an alarm isn’t silenced as a false alarm, Luna’s monitoring center will call the user. If the user either does not pick up the phone, or they confirm that they aren’t home, Luna will alert the local fire department. 

Professional monitoring ensures that someone is always watching the alarms, even when the user is unable to see the notifications from the app. Professional monitoring is another layer of protection and communication.  

3. Peace of Mind 

Using cellular services gives users peace of mind. Having peace and security over your home, family, pets, or business eases stress. Each feature and benefit that is included with cellular monitoring works towards protecting the people and places you love. Cellular alarm monitoring ensures that your home and family are protected and insured. Luna is dedicated to protecting every household member by combining important features in their fire alarm systems. Luna believes that safety is absolutely vital and that every home deserves to enjoy an elevated level of protection, especially from a preventable fire or carbon monoxide leak. Because of Luna’s mindset and beliefs, homeowners can rest easy knowing that Luna protects their entire household. 

Homeowners, parents, pet owners, elderly adults, and business owners all benefit from cellular alarm monitoring. 

Cellular alarm monitoring comes with a variety of benefits, from easy installation and reliability. Typically, these benefits appeal to certain people. So, who benefits most from cellular alarm monitoring?  

1. Homeowners

Our homes are meant to be our sanctuaries. When a homeowner comes home from a long day of work, they want to rest and relax. No one wants to worry about the safety of their home. Cellular alarm monitoring ensures that your home is always monitored and protected. With alarm monitoring, homeowners can watch directly over their property. Many homeowners use cellular monitoring because it gives them greater control over their homes, allowing them to know what’s happening, even when there is no one inside. A study conducted by the NFPA found that homes and apartments that used monitored fire alarms were less likely to see severe fire damage or fire-related deaths. Homeowners who want to protect their homes, ensuring the safety of all household members, use cellular alarm monitoring. 

2. Parents

It’s common to hear that the love of a parent is unmistakable and immeasurable. Parents love their children more than anything else in the world. Because of that, parents constantly think about the safety of their children. In most homes, parents begin leaving children between the ages of nine and twelve home alone for short periods of time. Children older than twelve are often considered old enough to babysit younger children. However, how would young children react if the fire alarm or carbon monoxide alarm triggers? Most children will first try to put out the fire, fearing the possible repercussions of starting a fire in the home. After that, the children will panic. Cellular monitoring ensures that the parents will know immediately that there is a fire in the home. They can alert the fire department to send help to the home right away, before any of the children are harmed. Parents find comfort in using cellular monitoring because of its reliability and its promise to protect children of all ages. 

3. Pet Owners 

According to recent studies, pet owners spend more to keep their pets happy and healthy than they spend on themselves. Pets, to most pet owners, are considered family members, and the pet owner will stop at nothing to keep them safe, protected, happy, and healthy. Because of this, most pet owners prefer to use a cellular monitored fire and carbon monoxide alarm. Cellular monitored alarms protect pets from fires and air pollutants. If a pet is trapped in a dangerous home, they are more vulnerable than people and children. The smoke is more likely to harm their health and they are unable to leave the home. Because of this, many pet owners use cellular monitoring to protect their pets from the dangers of smoke and carbon monoxide. 

4. Elderly Adults 

A study from the NFPA found that some people are significantly more likely to die in a house fire. Individuals who are at risk include those who have: 

• Taken psychotropic or sedative drugs,
• Been in a fire started by a discarded cigarette,
• Been living alone,
• Been more than 70 years of age,
• Been asleep at the time of the fire,
• Been in the room of origin at the time of the fire,
•  Consumed alcohol before the fire, or
•  Been suffering from a physical illness. 

Many of the at-risk factors include things such as old age, nighttime medications, illnesses, and living alone, which are factors that describe many elderly adults in the United States. Elderly adults often must take precautions to guarantee safety when living at home. Some older adults use medical alert buttons that can tell when the person has fallen. This device protects older adults from fallings and injuring themselves while living alone. Cellular alarm monitoring for fire alarms is a similar device, offering unlimited protection for older adults who might be in the at-risk group for fire fatality. 

5. Business Owners 

Business owners need to protect their businesses from fire. Most business fires happen at night due to an accident. Restaurant fires are most common, but fires will also occur in factories and other buildings with a lot of flammable material. If there is a fire in a building after hours, most businesses will lose thousands of dollars in losses. Having a cellular monitored alarm can protect business owners from severe financial loss.
