Your home security options
Install, take over or update your alarm
An alarm from another provider
A takeover may let you keep working equipment and change monitoring providers. We assess the panel and its monitoring connection before recommending what needs to change.
A system that needs updating
If your needs have changed, ask about servicing your existing system or adding compatible touchscreen and smartphone features. A full replacement is not always the starting point.

You may be looking for monitoring, simpler operation, coverage for another entrance or optional smartphone control. List those priorities separately. The assessment can then consider which existing parts fit the intended setup and which changes are needed.
