Frequently Asked Questions
What's included in each system tier?
Basic includes door/window sensors and control panel. Standard adds motion sensors and keypad. Premium includes cameras and smart lock. Ultimate adds video doorbell and full home automation.
Do I need professional monitoring?
Self-monitoring sends alerts to your phone but doesn't dispatch emergency services. Professional monitoring provides 24/7 response and can contact police, fire, or medical services on your behalf.
Can I install the system myself?
Yes, many modern security systems are designed for DIY installation. However, professional installation ensures optimal sensor placement and system configuration.
Are there long-term contracts?
We offer month-to-month options as well as 12, 24, and 36-month contracts. Longer contracts provide discounts on monitoring and equipment.
What happens if I move?
Most equipment can be transferred to your new home. Professional reinstallation services are available at a discounted rate for existing customers.
