For EMERGENCIES (break-in detected, smoke detected, etc): we'll text (all contacts immediately) and call (individually, in order) BEFORE the authorities are called. These individuals can either request to dispatch the authorities or disregard if they aren't needed. For NON-EMERGENCIES (low battery, power failure, etc): these individuals will receive a text alert with a link to either request service or place the signal on "disregard".This list requires a minimum of 1 contact and a maximum of 2; typically it includes the home's primary occupants.

What is a verbal password?
When the alarm goes off and we call the before-dispatch contact list to verify if you need the authorities, the dispatcher will verify that you have the authority to disregard the alarm by asking for your verbal password. It should be memorable, but something only you would know. People often use a pet's name, a favorite vacation spot, or even a set of numbers.
Note: this is different from the code you enter into the alarm to disarm, though it can be the same.
