We can monitor most of the popular alarm systems on the market, even if long discontinued by its manufacturer. 

Wireless Systems: These alarms will generally have no metal box containing all of the hardwired alarm wiring. Use the button below to identify “by pictures” the wireless systems we can monitor.  

Hardwired Systems: Hardwired alarm systems have wires going between the alarm panel in a metal box to each sensor on doors, windows, motion detectors, and more.  Wireless sensors may also be used when a brand specific RF receiver is attached to the main system, but they are still considered hardwired systems.

The first step is to open up the metal alarm box and look at the wiring diagram pasted on the inside of the metal door.  The brand and model, or at least series, will be shown on the diagram.

Honeywell/Ademco hardwired panels generally have a 1″ square black PROM chip with a white sticker located roughly in the center of the main circuit board.  The top line will begin with WA and tell us the actual model as well as firmware version. The example below shows this system is a Vista-20P with firmware version 10.23.

DSC brand hardwired panels will have a sticker on the main circuit board in the metal box.  The model will begin with PC if a standard PowerSeries alarm panel, or HS if a PowerSeries NEO version.  It’s important to know which series you own based on the sticker.

We currently monitor the following panels:

Honeywell/Ademco Hardwired 4110XM, 4120XM, 4140XM, 4140XMP, Vista-10XE, Vista-10P, Vista-15P, Vista-15PSIA, Vista-20SE, Vista-20P, Vista-20PSIA, Vista-21iP, Vista-21iPSIA, Vista-21iPLTE, Vista-40, Vista-50P

If your existing panel is not supported by us, or does not have the features you want, a replacement can be made.  Because of the complexity of swapping out hardwired motherboards and its associated programming, this is best left to a local alarm dealer.

Wireless alarm systems however are modern in design and packed with great features such as remote control from a mobile app on your phone, zwave control of lights, locks, thermostats, video streaming of compatible video cameras and doorbells.  They are perfect for DIY homeowners to install themselves.  We have free tech support available 7 days a week for our monitored customers if you need assistance.

We highly recommend the following two brands and models below.  Each are DIY friendly for installation and setup, use easy and quick installation of wireless door, window transmitters, motion detectors, smoke and heat detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, flood sensors and more.  Both have an Alarm.com cellular and WIFI communicator built in along with a z-wave hub, 7″ touchscreen display, all-in-one system combining the keypad, siren, 24 hour backup battery, wireless receiver, cellular and wifi communicator, all in a single wall or desk mounted enclosure.  These two models can be found on Amazon and other sites.

While we offer remote tech support by phone, text, email 7 days a week, we do not provide any local installation or repairs of alarm panels and wiring.  We are strictly an affordable, no contract, alarm monitoring dealer rather than an installation dealer.  That said, less than 2% of tech support calls require a local technician for troubleshooting and repair.

Your panels’ Installer Code is a special code used to gain entry to the system’s configuration so you, or your dealer, can add/delete zones and sensors, change entry/exit delays, and more.  In most cases your alarm systems Installer Code is required for service, and ALWAYS for landline connected systems.  Each brand alarm system has a default Installer Code, but if changed by the installer, you may need to reach out to them to get this code.  You can easily test to see if your panel is still using the default Installer Code.  We recommend leaving the Installer Code at its default value.  Some dealers change the code in order to lock you in for monitoring since there is no security reason to change this code.

Click the button below to test the default Installer Code for many systems.

Some brands, such as Honeywell, have an easy way to reset the Installer Code without erasing any data, with the exception of their Lyric and ProA7 panels which have no reset mechanism.

DSC Installer Codes can be reset, but ONLY by factory defaulting the alarm panel which erases everything.  Reprogramming would need to be done by a local alarm dealer which can be expensive.

Interlogix/GE panels have no Installer Code reset for the Concord 4, but their NetworX NX series, and Simon XT series can be factory defaulted erasing everything, but does allows the default Installer Code to be again used. Reprogramming would need to be done by a local alarm dealer which can be expensive.

The communicator and communication path determine what service provider is required.  For example if you have a hardwired alarm system connected to a landline (including VoIP) then choose our Landline Service.  If using an Alarm.com cellular communicator, then you want one of our Alarm.com monitoring plans.

Options available for many of our monitoring plans include IP and/or cellular service (we pay the cellular carrier fees), remote control app for your phone, video services, home automation (z-wave) control of lights, locks, thermostats.

Once you select the service needed, just sign-up right online.  Pick your plan, Add to Cart, Checkout.  Once the payment is accepted a GREEN Monitoring Enrollment Form will pop-up.  Do NOT close your browser screen before this enrollment form appears.  Complete the enrollment form and we can generally get you online within a few hours 7 days a week.

Alarm monitoring can be signed up on an annual basis which saves 15%, or on a month to month basis which loses the 15% discount.  Both options are no-contract and can be cancelled at any time without penalty.

A valid credit card is used to create a subscription plan so that your card is charged each month or each year for renewals.  The billing date is always on the day of the month you signed up.  For example if you signed up for a monthly monitoring plan on the 21st of the month then a charge will be made each month on the 21st until you cancel service. We cannot move the renewal billing date to a different date such as the beginning of the month for example.

An email will be sent three days ahead of any charge detailing the renewal with price. If your credit card has expired or changed, an email will be sent if the renewal payment fails.You can login to your account on our site to update your credit card or just give us a call and we’ll make the update over the phone.

Absolutely.  We do NOT lock you in with a contract like most dealers.  You may cancel at any time without penalty.  If you signed up for an Annual plan, but have not used the full 12 months, then we will prorate your account like it was a standard month to month account for the months used and refund the remainder.

To cancel service just login and go to My Subscriptions.  Select Cancel Immediately and all future billing will end. We do not require a 30 or 60 day notification of ending monitoring like the big guys.  Simple, hassle free!

At the completion of Checkout be sure to complete our green Monitoring Enrollment Form that pops up once payment is accepted.  You can also use our generic Monitoring Enrollment Form too if you closed out of Checkout too quick.

Monitoring Enrollment

Once we receive your completed Monitoring Enrollment Form, a tech will create your Alarm.com and central station accounts, generally within two hours of signup 7 days a week.

You will receive a Welcome email from Alarm.com once we create your account.  This email will guide you through setting up a password for the Alarm.com mobile app.  You will NOT be able to login however until your cellular communicator activates with Alarm.com.

No changes to user codes or zones will occur when activating Alarm.com service.

Z-wave devices (lights, locks, thermostats) enrolled in the alarm panel will still be there though unless you signed up for our Enhanced or Gold plans you will have no control of these devices from your Alarm.com app.  Any Z-Wave rules created previously will need to be recreated since rules are not stored in the panel but instead in the Alarm.com account.  Once your previous Alarm.com account is closed by your earlier dealer these settings are lost.

Alarm.com video cameras and MyQ gateway information is stored in the Alarm.com account rather than panel so will need to be re-enrolled into your new account.  Be sure to add a Video plan such as ProVideo with Analytics in any of our Alarm.com plans except Dispatch Simple which has no mobile app.
