Don’t let big companies force a costly replacement. Learn to upgrade your system with LTE/IP while keeping your hardware—no long-term contracts required.

Your alarm system is “out of date”? Yeah, that’s a problem lately with some of the big “service providers”, the goal is to do two things. The first is to up sell you on a service agreement and new monitoring agreement, the second is to install equipment that can’t be monitored by any other company. They are pulling what they do with the cell phone upgrade game, but in relation to alarm systems. If you have any questions, always get another “professional opinion”. We will be happy to look at your current system and determine if it needs upgrading or just a really good servicing* (the really good servicing is generally what is needed). “As a Red Seal Journeyman, I specialize in keeping high-quality legacy hardware running with modern communication tech.”

Your alarm system is “out of date”? What can be done that “they” won’t tell you.

We can monitor almost any alarm panel from any manufacturer. The advantage of our experience is knowing exactly what can—and can’t—be done with your existing equipment. Some big corporations need to “stay in their lane”; when they purchased your former provider, they didn’t always keep the experienced staff who actually knew the tech.

Furthermore, if your contract is up, you are free to go with whoever you choose. You don’t have to settle for a massive corporation that assumes they own your loyalty. Choose a local alarm company that actually understands your security needs.

A note on Telus Qolsys panels: These systems use 128-bit AES encryption at the 900 MHz range. Because of this “Encryption Trap,” these specific panels are effectively locked; you are basically “screwed” and stuck dealing with Telus or an authorized Alarm.com dealer for that specific hub.

The DSC Advantage: Reliable, Canadian-Made Security

DSC (Digital Security Controls) is a proud Canadian company and a global leader in the security industry. For over 30 years, their panels have been the mainstay for both commercial and residential systems because they offer an incredibly low failure rate when properly maintained.

Unlike proprietary “locked” systems, upgrading a DSC panel to faster, modern communications is neither difficult nor expensive. We use add-on modules to bring older systems up to date instantly. If your current control board is “done,” we can upgrade you to a new DSC PowerSeries Neo board—utilizing your existing keypads and devices so the transition doesn’t break the bank.

Our DSC Upgrades Include:

• Mobile Control: Arm and disarm your system directly from your personal cell phone.
• Direct Notifications: Receive instant alerts to your device if an alarm is triggered.
• No “Hidden” Fees: While the big corporations often charge extra for mobile features, we provide them for free on our monitored systems.

Are you paying through the nose for your services? We can look after your system and provide monitoring at a reasonable rate with all the same features the other guys want to charge you for. So give us a call for a free system evaluation, there is no charge for this service.
