That is true if that central should happen to have the proper receiver.
Many, many centrals are not prepared to do monitoring from the internet and
DSC will be the first to tell you that. They are trying to get the centrals

Centrals aren't making the investment in the equipment plus the backup until
their clients or their dealers show more interest.
