Do I need a permit for my security system?

A permit may be required for your security system, depending on where you live. Click here for more information.

Do I need my land line to be monitored?

Traditionally, alarm systems have been dependent on analog phone lines to communicate to the Central Monitoring Station. This mode of communication is being replaced by a cellular option.

If you are looking to eliminate your land line, you will require a Cellular Communicator for your alarm system to communicate with the Central Station.

Please contact our sales team at 780.424.6971 to find out about options for your system.
