Wholesale security monitoring is a service provided to security system installation companies that takes the place of an in-house monitoring center. Therefore, when a security system is installed in a home or business, it then needs to be monitored. Instead of having to invest millions of dollars in developing and running a central station, security dealers can outsource that service to AvantGuard Monitoring Centers at a fraction of the cost, and at a much higher quality. AG is then able to answer all alarms under the name of the security company.
