We can monitor nearly all alarm systems. To find out if we are able to monitor your existing system please call us at 1-800-624-6866.
If your system is keypad programmable or capable of upload/download, we can monitor it. If you need help determining your system's capabilities, or if you have additional questions our Technicians will be happy to help.
Here are some helpful tips to help you determine what type of system you have:
Yes, we do - if your sprinkler system is connected to the alarm. We also monitor commercial fire systems but these rates differ from residential monitoring.
Most repairs are quite simple and we will gladly guide you through them. If you are unable to do the repairs, give us a call and we will put you in touch with an affiliate who can provide an estimate for the assistance or repair.
If using wireless sensors these can easily be installed by yourself. Contact the company from which you purchased the sensors for additional tech support during installation. If you are not able, or don't have time, to install these yourself or if your system has hardwired sensors contact us and we will direct you to an affiliate who can assist you.
No, you will not be charged for the monitoring of additional sensors. You will, however, need to let us know that the sensors have been added so that we are able to respond when and if these sensors report to us.
If you replace your alarm panel it will need to be reprogrammed and re-tested back to our Central Station. There is a fee for this service and one of our representatives will be happy to discuss this with you.
If your alarm system has been monitored previously, it is likely still connected to a phone line. Our technicians are able to help you determine how your alarm panel communicates.

The weakest part of any alarm system is the phone line – if it is cut, your alarm signals will not be able to reach us. Cellular backup solves this problem and relieves you of any worry that your alarm signals are not transmitted.
