You know that feeling when you're at work and wonder if you remembered to lock the back door. Or when you're on vacation and that nagging worry creeps in about whether everything's okay at home. That stops here.
With professional 24/7 monitoring, your security system doesn't just make noise when something happens. It gets the right people to your house fast. Real monitoring means real response, not just hoping a neighbor hears your alarm.

First, we come to your home for a free consultation. No pressure, no sales tactics. We walk through your property, identify potential security concerns, and explain what would work best for your specific situation and budget.
If you already have an existing alarm system, we can often work with what you have. Our technicians inspect your current equipment and determine what can be upgraded versus what needs replacement. This saves you money and gets you protected faster.
Installation happens on your schedule. Our licensed technicians handle everything from start to finish, test every component, and walk you through exactly how your new system works. You'll have our direct number for any questions or service needs.
Once your system is active, our 24/7 monitoring center takes over. When an alarm triggers, they immediately assess the situation, attempt to contact you, and dispatch appropriate emergency services if needed. You're protected whether you're home, at work, or traveling.
Plan 1 costs $17 monthly and works with your existing alarm system. We add cellular monitoring so you don't need a landline, provide 24/7 professional monitoring, and offer no-contract flexibility. One-time setup is $139. Perfect if you want reliable monitoring without replacing everything.
Plan 2 adds smartphone control to everything in Plan 1 for $22 monthly. Arm and disarm from anywhere, get real-time alerts, and keep using your current equipment. No contracts, no surprises.
Plan 3 gives you a complete modern system for $27 monthly plus $479 for equipment. You get a 7-inch touchscreen hub with built-in camera, door sensors, motion detector, glass break sensor, and full mobile app control. This is for homeowners who want the latest technology with enhanced protection.
All plans include cellular monitoring that works even during power outages, local service and support, and the flexibility to cancel anytime. We also handle fire monitoring, flood detection, and carbon monoxide alerts because your family's safety goes beyond just security.
Yes, in most cases we can upgrade your current system instead of replacing everything. Our technicians perform a complete inspection of your existing equipment to determine what's compatible with modern monitoring technology.
We typically replace your old keypad with a new touchscreen panel and add a cellular communicator for reliable monitoring. Your existing door sensors, window contacts, and motion detectors usually work perfectly with our upgraded systems.
This approach saves you hundreds of dollars compared to full replacement while giving you the same professional monitoring and smartphone control. The inspection is free, and we'll give you honest recommendations about what makes the most financial sense for your situation.
When your alarm triggers, our monitoring center receives the signal within seconds. A trained operator immediately attempts to contact you using your primary phone number, then tries backup contacts if needed.
If it's a false alarm, simply provide your verbal passcode and we'll cancel the emergency response. If you don't answer or can't provide the correct passcode, we dispatch appropriate emergency services immediately.
For burglary alarms, police are contacted. For fire alarms, the fire department responds. For medical emergencies, paramedics are dispatched. Our average response time from alarm trigger to emergency dispatch is under 45 seconds, which can make a critical difference in protecting your family and property.
Most insurance companies offer discounts for professionally monitored security systems, typically ranging from 5% to 15% annually. The exact discount depends on your insurance provider and the type of monitoring system you have.
We provide documentation of your professionally monitored system that you can submit to your insurance company. Many of our customers save $100-300 per year on their premiums, which significantly offsets the cost of monitoring.
Beyond the discount, having a security system can prevent insurance claims from theft, fire, or water damage. Avoiding even one claim can save you thousands in increased premiums over time, making the system pay for itself multiple times over.
Local alarms only make noise when triggered, hoping someone nearby will hear and call for help. Professional monitoring means trained operators receive your alarm signals 24/7 and immediately dispatch emergency services when needed.
With local alarms, if you're not home or if neighbors don't hear the alarm, nothing happens. Burglars know this and often ignore local alarms because there's no real response. Professional monitoring ensures help is coming whether you're home, at work, or on vacation.
Our cellular monitoring works even if phone lines are cut or internet is down. The signal goes directly to our monitoring center through cellular networks, so there's no way for intruders to disable your protection by cutting wires.
For existing system upgrades, we can usually complete installation within 2-3 hours during a single visit. This includes adding the cellular communicator, installing the new touchscreen panel, testing all existing sensors, and training you on the system.
New complete system installations typically take 4-6 hours depending on your home's size and the number of sensors needed. We schedule installations at your convenience, including evenings and weekends when it works better for your family.
All installations include comprehensive testing of every component, programming your emergency contacts, setting up your smartphone app, and walking you through everything until you're completely comfortable. We don't leave until you're confident about using your new system.
Unlike most security companies, we don't lock you into long-term contracts. You can cancel monitoring service anytime without penalties or early termination fees. We believe you should stay because you're happy with our service, not because you're trapped in a contract.
If you move within our service area, we can often relocate your equipment to your new home. For wireless systems, this is usually straightforward. For hardwired systems, we'll assess what can be moved and what might need to be replaced.
If you move outside our service area, we'll help coordinate the transfer of your equipment to a compatible monitoring company in your new location. Our goal is to make transitions as smooth as possible because your security shouldn't be disrupted by life changes.
