1. A method for handling an alarm situation, the method comprising:

  • identifying an alarm situation at a location of a monitored property by one or more sensors or by a control panel;

    transmitting, to a remote escrow site that is different than a remote host station and that is physically separate from the monitored property, a message that indicates that an alarm signal is expected to be transmitted to the remote host station from the one or more sensors or the control panel based on an identification of the alarm situation at the location of the monitored property; and

    transmitting, to the remote escrow site, an update message that indicates that the alarm signal has been successfully transmitted to the remote host station from the one or more sensors or the control panel, or that the alarm signal has been effectively cancelled, wherein receipt of the update message that indicates that the alarm signal was successfully transmitted or effectively cancelled results in no further signaling by the escrow site for the alarm situation identified at the location of the monitored property.
