The system
installed in your home monitors
24 hours a day for fire, medical
emergencies and carbon monoxide.
In the event of an emergency the
system will connect to the
monitoring center by either
phone, cellular or internet, and
transmit the alarm condition to
a computer at the monitoring
center.
The computer at the monitoring
center will then inform one of
their many operators of the
emergency and the operator will
take the appropriate action.
As you can see, there is not
much operational difference in
the different types of alarm
system. There is
not a lot of difference in the
alarm monitoring stations.
So why do some companies
charge as much as $45 per month
or more for the same service?
Because they can.
Our pricing is very
affordable. We charge
$17.95/month. That is for
residential or commercial.
If we are locked out of your
system by your previous company,
then we will charge you only our
cost for replacing the parts
needed to be able to reprogram
your system. If you don't have
an alarm, we offer a basic
system installation for $199.
Other companies will tell you
that you are getting a so called
"free" system and then charge an
installation fee. Then
they charge you 2 or 3 times as
much and make you sign a
contract for 3 years. That is
over $1600. That doesn't sound
free to me. As a matter of fact,
that sounds really expensive.
If you are being gouged by one of these companies, we can help. Don't throw your money down the drain!
