Monitoring starts at $14.99 per month, with month-to-month service and no long-term contracts. Discuss your current equipment or a new installation with our Canadian alarm service team.
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.

CMS serves Kitsilano, Dunbar, Downtown, Yaletown, East Vancouver and Point Grey. Share your property location, the spaces you want included and any existing equipment when requesting your estimate.
Describe how people actually enter the home
If the household usually comes through a rear door or garage, include that route in the consultation. Tell us where you would like to operate the alarm and whether visitors use another entrance. A practical layout follows those routines.
Consider installation routes in a finished property
For an existing home, identify installed wiring, available panel space and any finishes you want to preserve. Discuss what can be reused and which changes require additional work. Equipment selection should follow an assessment of the property rather than an assumption that all older systems need replacing.

Vancouver home security questions
Can an older hardwired system be assessed for a takeover?
Yes. Its condition, compatibility and monitoring connection need to be checked. An older installation does not automatically require a complete replacement.
Can a rear entrance be included even if the keypad is at the front?
The detection and control layout can be reviewed. Explain the route you use and how you want to operate the alarm so suitable options can be discussed.
How much does alarm monitoring cost?
Monitoring starts at $14.99 per month. CMS offers local, Canadian alarm service on a month-to-month basis with no long-term contracts. Contact us to confirm the monitoring option that suits your system.
Do you install new alarms and take over existing systems?
Yes. CMS provides new installations and assesses existing equipment for monitoring takeovers. We install and service traditional hardwired and modern touchscreen security systems; compatibility and condition determine what can be reused.
