First, we come to your home for a free consultation. No pressure, no sales tricks. We walk through your property, identify vulnerable points, and explain exactly what would work best for your situation and budget.
If you already have an existing alarm system, we can often upgrade and activate it without starting from scratch. This saves you money and gets you protected faster. For new installations, we handle everything from permits to programming.
Once everything's installed and tested, we connect your system to our monitoring center. From that moment on, you're covered 24/7. If an alarm triggers, our monitors verify the situation and contact you immediately. If needed, they dispatch emergency services while keeping you informed every step of the way.
Our $17/month plan works with your existing alarm equipment. We add cellular monitoring, professional oversight, and smartphone alerts without replacing anything. It's perfect if you want reliable protection without a big upfront investment.
The $22/month option gives you full app control of your current system. Arm and disarm from anywhere, get instant notifications, and monitor your home remotely. Same equipment, smarter control.
For $27/month plus a one-time equipment fee, you get a complete modern system with touchscreen control, built-in cameras, glass break sensors, and smart home integration. This is our most popular option for homeowners who want the latest technology with professional installation and support.
Every plan includes cellular monitoring that works even if your internet goes down, local service you can actually reach when you need help, and the flexibility to cancel anytime if your situation changes.
Absolutely. Most existing systems can be modernized with cellular communicators and smart controls without ripping out all your current sensors and wiring. We inspect your current setup during our free consultation and let you know exactly what can be saved.
This approach typically saves homeowners hundreds of dollars compared to full replacement systems. Your door and window sensors, motion detectors, and control panels often just need updated communication technology to work with modern monitoring services.
The upgrade process usually takes just a few hours, and you'll have the same professional monitoring and smartphone controls as a brand-new system. We've successfully upgraded systems that are 10+ years old, so age isn't necessarily a barrier.
Our monitoring center receives your alarm signal within seconds, and trained operators begin verification immediately. They'll attempt to contact you first using your preferred contact methods, then move down your emergency contact list if you don't respond.
If the alarm can't be verified as accidental, we dispatch local emergency services while continuing to try reaching you. The entire process from alarm trigger to emergency dispatch typically takes less than 3 minutes when we can't reach anyone.
For Pasadena residents, this means police or fire departments are notified quickly, and you're kept informed throughout the entire process via phone calls and text updates. Our operators stay on the line with emergency services until they confirm units are en route to your property.
Your security system keeps working. Every system we install includes battery backup that powers your equipment for hours during outages, and cellular communicators that don't rely on your internet connection to reach our monitoring center.
The cellular backup kicks in automatically when your broadband connection fails, so you never lose contact with our monitoring team. Most systems can run 8-12 hours on battery power, which covers the vast majority of local power outages.
When power and internet are restored, your system automatically reconnects to its primary communication path. You'll receive notifications about the outage and restoration, so you always know your system's status even when you're not home.
Correct - no contracts, no cancellation fees, no early termination penalties. You pay month-to-month and can cancel anytime with 30 days' notice. We've found that when people are happy with their service, they don't need to be locked in to stay.
This flexibility is especially valuable if your housing situation changes, you move, or your security needs evolve. Many of our customers have been with us for years simply because the service works and the price is fair.
The only commitment is the one-time equipment fee for new system installations, but even that comes with a warranty. If you're upgrading existing equipment, there's typically no upfront cost at all beyond the first month's monitoring fee.
Most insurance companies offer discounts for monitored security systems, typically 5-20% off your annual premium. The exact discount depends on your insurance carrier and the specific features of your system.
To qualify, your system usually needs professional monitoring, cellular or landline communication to the monitoring center, and coverage for key entry points. Our systems meet these requirements, and we provide the documentation your insurance company needs to process the discount.
Many Pasadena homeowners find that the insurance savings help offset their monthly monitoring costs. We recommend calling your insurance agent with your system details once installation is complete to claim your discount and understand exactly how much you'll save.
Wireless systems offer several advantages, especially for existing homes. They're faster to install since we don't need to run new wiring through walls, they're harder for intruders to disable since there are no wires to cut, and they're more flexible if you want to add sensors later.
The main consideration is signal strength throughout your home. During our consultation, we test wireless signal quality in all areas where you want sensors. Most modern homes have excellent wireless coverage, but larger properties sometimes need signal boosters.
Wireless systems also make more sense if you might move in the next few years, since the equipment can often be relocated to your new home. For Pasadena's mix of older and newer homes, wireless typically offers the best combination of reliability, cost, and convenience.
