Pay Less. Protect More.

Pay less, protect more. If your alarm system is already installed, The Monitoring Center can activate professional monitoring without replacing your hardware. We provide dependable, UL-Certified monitoring, in-house customer support, and six months free when you activate today.

We can monitor up to 98% of existing alarm systems. No long-term contracts or unnecessary upgrades.

Why Activate with The Monitoring Center

No Long-Term Contracts: Many national alarm companies require multi-year agreements. With The Monitoring Center, you stay month-to-month and get professional protection without being locked in.
Lowest Monthly Costs: Our monitoring plans start as low as $9.99 per month, giving you reliable coverage without paying premium prices for the same police, fire, or medical services response standards.
Compatible With Existing Systems: TMC can take over and reprogram most wired alarm systems, allowing you to activate monitoring without starting over or buying new equipment.

How to Switch Providers or Activate Your Existing Alarm System

Activating your existing alarm system is straightforward, and our team handles all the technical details.

  1. Identifying Your Current System

    We can confirm if your existing alarm system is compatible with TMC by keypad model, a quick photo, or a phone call with one of our specialists.

  2. Reprogramming

    Once approved, we schedule a certified TMC technician to reprogram your system, often without replacing hardware.

  3. 24/7 Monitoring

    Your alarm goes live with professional monitoring at our TMA 5 Diamond, UL-Certified facility at a lower monthly rate.

Keep Your System, Add Smarter Control

The Monitoring Center alarm app on a mobile phone

An older system doesn't have to feel outdated. When you upgrade your system with us you get the added convenience of the TMC Alarm + App right on your phone. It gives you mobile control, allowing you to arm and disarm your alarm system remotely, receive instant alerts, check system status, and more.

In many cases, activating with The Monitoring Center actually adds convenience without replacing the system you already own.

Reliable Monitoring from a Company You Can Trust

Lower cost doesn't mean lower standards. The Monitoring Center has protected homes and businesses for over 25 years, so you get both an advanced system and a wealth of experience on your side.

Your security system is monitored 24/7 by trained professionals at a UL-Certified monitoring center, and backed by fast response times and North American-based support.
