Frequently Asked Questions
Do I own the equipment?
Yes, 100%. From the moment installation is complete, the equipment is yours. We do not lease equipment or require you to return anything if you switch providers.
Is there a long-term monitoring contract?
No. Our monitoring agreements are flexible without long-term lock-in. We earn your business every month through great service and honest pricing.
What's the difference between wireless and hardwired?
Wireless systems use battery-powered sensors and are easier to install in any home. Hardwired systems connect directly to your panel via wire — extremely reliable and ideal for new construction where access to walls is available.
Do I need a phone line?
No. All our packages support cellular communication as an add-on, eliminating the need for a phone line entirely. This is highly recommended for reliability.
What is smash and grab technology?
Smash and grab technology ensures your alarm panel sends an alarm signal to our monitoring center the moment an intrusion is detected — before a burglar has a chance to destroy the panel or cut communication lines.
Can I add more sensors later?
Absolutely. Our systems are scalable and support a wide range of additional sensors, cameras, and smart home devices. See our full Device List for all available add-ons.
