1. A system for distributing, to a distributed network of central stations, events detected in monitoring system data collected by sensors included in monitoring systems located at monitored properties, the system comprising:

  • at least one processor; and

    at least one computer-readable storage medium coupled to the at least one processor having stored thereon instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor, causes the at least one processor to perform operations comprising;

    receiving monitoring data, the monitoring data including data collected by monitoring systems located at monitored properties and data from central stations included in a distributed network of central stations;

    building load profiles for the central stations included in the distributed network of central stations, each of the load profiles reflecting a volume of events being handled by at least one central station of the central stations included in the distributed network of central stations;

    based on the load profiles, determining capacities to handle additional events for the central stations included in the distributed network of central stations;

    based on the determined capacities, determining relative priorities of the central stations included in the distributed network of central stations; and

    based on the relative priorities of the central stations included in the distributed network of central stations, handling transmission of events from the monitored properties to the central stations included in the distributed network of central stations.
