1. A method comprising:
determining, by a secondary transmission point i) for a property ii) that provides backup network access for a security control panel at the property to a primary transmission point, a first time period since the secondary transmission point received a communication from the primary transmission point, wherein the security control panel is separate from the primary transmission point and the secondary transmission point;
determining that the first time period since the communication was received from the primary transmission point satisfies a first threshold time period for the primary transmission point;
determining a second time period since the secondary transmission point received a message from the security control panel, the message being different from the communication;
in response to determining that the first time period since the communication was received from the primary transmission point satisfies the first threshold time period for the primary transmission point, determining whether the second time period since the message was received from the security control panel satisfies a second threshold time period for the security control panel; and
selectively determining to perform one or more automated actions for the property or to skip performing the one or more automated actions for the property using a result of the determination whether the second time period since the message was received from the security control panel satisfies the second threshold time period for the security control panel.
