Outstanding customer support. Worked with Tim getting my Qolsys IQ Panel setup (including enrolling sensors) as well as getting me going with their Alarm.com Enhanced Package. Love the Alarm.com app and love my Qolsys panel!

Saved Money
Was as easy as advertised to make the switch. I was paying over $50 a month for Total Connect remote control service for my Honeywell LynxTouch. Quick and easy cutting my bill to just $16 using WIFI. Wish I knew this earlier!!!

Great Support When Needed
Great range of Alarm.com options. I’ve been researching security company pricing to monitor my 2GIG GC2 and by far these guys bundle in the most features while keeping pricing very competitive. Tech Support is EXCELLENT.

Pays To Look Around
Switched over both my primary home and vacation home saving almost $400 a year over the alarm dealer I used for the past five years. My fault for not looking around sooner. Very easy and painless to switch companies. Thanks again Chris and Andrew!!!

How To Get Started Saving Money Without Contracts
SafeHomeCentral.com Affordable Alarm Monitoring
#1 – Choose Your Monitoring Service
Your system’s “communicator” will dictate which monitoring service to select below. For example if you have an Alarm.com cellular communicator you would choose one of our Alarm.com plans. Likewise If you have an AlarmNet communicator you would choose our AlarmNet service unless you change your communicator to match the desired service.
We monitor many popular panel brands and models from industry giants such as Honeywell, Qolsys, 2GIG, DSC, Alula, and Interlogix.
Requirements to switch dealers
- Installer Code – Be sure to know your panel’s Installer Code before signing up. This special code allows access into panel programming. In most cases dealers cannot get you setup without it. Use the following link to test your Installer Code – How To Check If My Alarm Installer Code Is Valid.
- Communicator Address – Dealers register your IP or cellular communicator using a unique address tied to your hardware. The previous dealer must release this address before you can transfer service to a new dealer. Alarm.com communicators use an IMEI address while AlarmNet and Alula communicators use a MAC address. Landline service has no such restriction but does require a working dial-tone at the alarm panel for service.
#2 – Complete Our Monitoring Enrollment Form
For Dispatch Monitoring plans our UL central station dispatchers need the telephone numbers to call you when verifying an alarm signal before calling your local police, fire, or medical departments, what passcode you want to use so they know its really you, and how you and others want to be notified if there is a dispatch – phone, text, email.
We also need information related to your alarm panel such as brand and model, and if using a service other than landline we’ll need your communicator’s MAC/CRC or IMEI (Alarm.com only) to get your communicator registered with the appropriate service.
For hardwired panels open your external communicator cover (white plastic box) and copy down the MAC/CRC or IMEI address printed on a sticker inside. For wireless panels (all-in-one) use this link to find this info: Find My MAC/CRC or IMEI Address.

FAQ – How Do I Save Money?
Important Questions and Considerations
Switching alarm monitoring providers is not difficult, but many providers don’t want you leaving and attempt to make it so. We offer a much lower cost for real UL central station security monitoring, no required contracts, and overall better, friendly technical support. We are here answering our phones 7 days a week. Does your existing alarm dealer do that without being on hold for an hour for a simple question?
- Are you under an existing alarm monitoring contract? Be careful because many dealer contracts have auto renewal provisions that may lock you in for another 3 to 5 years at high pricing. Also its common to have a 30 or 60 day termination notification period. Are there any hidden termination fees they failed to mention? Local dealers and even national dealers such as ADT and Brinks make a LOT of money on alarm monitoring contracts so they will make it as hard as possible for their customers to switch.
- Do you own your alarm equipment? Another reason to read your existing alarm agreement carefully. Some dealers offer “free” home security systems when you sign up for their multiyear alarm monitoring plans. Obviously nothing is free. In this case the alarm company owns the main equipment such as control panel, keypad, motion sensor. Anything additional you would own but if you don’t renew their high priced plan they’ll remove “their” equipment leaving you with no working alarm system. Just another sneaky method to retain highly profitable accounts.
- Do you already have a 4G or 5G LTE cellular communicator? This can be either as part of a plugin wireless system module or hardwired addon unit. Your alarm panel using a cellular communicator actually “talks” with an Interactive Services (IS) provider not the central station directly. 3G has already been turned off by US carriers so any non-LTE cellular communicator would need to be replaced. This would not apply to WIFI or Ethernet IP connections.
It is important to understand what alarm panel model you currently have as well as what Interactive Services provider is/was used. A cellular communicator compatible with Honeywell Alarmnet (Total Connect 2) will not work with any other provider such as Alula or Alarm.com. Communicators are built for a particular Interactive Services provider, they are not universal unfortunately. In general this is not a problem if you already like the Interactive Service Provider you are using other than the price your current alarm dealer is charging for this service.
BEWARE: Many large national alarm companies such as ADT and Verint use proprietary hardware which will ONLY work with their central station. If this is the case then a replacement cellular communicator or even system may be required. Also ADT cameras will only work with their service and are not transferrable.
- Do you know the “Installer Code” for your alarm panel? In many cases the installing alarm company did not provide this important code despite you owning the equipment. The Installer Code is used to get into the programming area of your security system. Since the Account Number used for the central station will need to be modified getting into Program Mode is necessary.
If you do not know the Installer Code nicely ask your existing or previous alarm company for this code. They know what it is since they used it to put their account information into your panel. In some cases dealers will want to send a technician to your home to reset the code to the manufacturer’s default code and of course charge you for the visit ($100 – $150). There is no reason why they can’t tell you this code over the phone or reset the code remotely. This is a very common tactic to bill you one last time.
Depending on the brand and model alarm control panel you own there may be a “back door” into your panel’s Program Mode if the Installer Code is not known. Many Honeywell panels for example have an easy way to get into Program Mode if the code was forgotten or not provided. Others however must be “factory reset” meaning it erases all current configuration (zones, passcodes, etc.) and acts like a new alarm panel out of the box. Reprogramming the panel is generally not something you want to tackle on your own and may require a local dealer to assist. Hopefully you know the Installer Code or can get it from the previous dealer without hassle.
** If you have a Honeywell brand alarm panel check our page on how to reset your panel’s Installer Code using the back door method. Every brand panel has a default Installer Code which can also be tried, but many dealers change it to keep a customer locked in.
