| The Monitoring Center is committed to providing
Security + Savings. Because we're intent on doing just that, we welcome
the opportunity to compare our service plans to those of our competitors.
In fact, we are the only security company that readily separates the cost
of monitoring from the cost of your alarm system. With TMC, You pay for
your alarm system up front and you
retain 100% ownership of your alarm system. As shown below, none of our
competitors does that. They just keep charging you the combined rate month-after-month,
year-after-year, despite the fact that you may already own your alarm system.
On the contrary, TMC will always deliver top quality monitoring at the same
low price. Monitoring which is purchased in one year blocks giving our clients
the freedom to choose. No hassles. No over-billing. Just great service at
a great price. It's that simple.
The following tables compare TMC's pricing to the pricing of our competitors.
As shown in the first table, TMC's monitoring-only rate is ONLY
$9.99 per month, which is 60% to 70% less than any of
our competitors. Moreover, as shown in the second table, if you need an
alarm installation, we can install a complete alarm package for only $499.00.
THE TMC DIFFERENCE…
(1) once the system is paid for our customer retains full ownership of
their equipment (2) we install only universal equipment such as DSC or
Ademco which can be monitored by any facility …TOTAL
FREEDOM TO CHOOSE…
