What Is an Alarm System Takeover?
An alarm takeover allows us to:

Can I get mobile app control with my existing alarm system?
Yes. By upgrading your system with Alarm.com, NAPCO StarLink, or AlarmNet, we can add smartphone control, real-time alerts, and remote access.
Some older systems may not be able to utilize all features of the remote app, however.
Do I need a landline for alarm monitoring?
No. All of our systems use cellular communication, which is more reliable than traditional phone lines and works even during outages. NAPCO Communicators use a combination of Verizon, ATT & T-Mobile, ensuring maximum uptime and protection.
How long does an alarm system takeover take?
Most alarm takeovers can be completed in 1–2 hours. Our technicians handle the transition quickly so your system is back online with minimal downtime.
Can I switch alarm companies without replacing my system?
Yes. In most cases, your existing alarm panel, sensors, and wiring can be reused. We simply upgrade the communicator and connect your system to our 24/7 alarm monitoring service, saving you money on new equipment.
Please note that some newer sytems, like Honeywell ProSeries and DSC PowerG+ can be locked down by your dealer. If this is the case, we will not be able to reuse the hardware unless you get your current provider to release them.
