Door, motion, and glass-break sensors cover the entrances and the areas you choose. When the system is armed and a sensor trips, you get an alert in the app. With professional monitoring, the monitoring centre receives it too.

  • Alerts to your phone when a sensor trips

how we protect

Closing time, deliveries, and the unexpected.

Arm the system when you lock up and check the app when you need to. The alerts you receive depend on the sensors you choose. Add professional monitoring if you want the monitoring centre to receive alarms too.

Arm from the keypad or the app. The exit delay gives you time to lock the door.

Break-in

Monitoring options

Who handles an alert?

Both options use the same installed system. The main difference is whether you handle alerts yourself or have a monitoring centre receive them too. Camera recording depends on your equipment and storage setup.

If your needs change

You can change your mind about monitoring.

If you stop professional monitoring, the sensors and cameras stay installed and the app keeps working. The monitoring centre stops responding, and you handle alerts yourself.

Alerts in the app
Door, motion, and leak alerts go to your phone.
Cameras keep working
Live view and two-way talk on compatible devices.
Equipment stays installed
It was never rented, so nothing is taken back.
Restart monitoring anytime
Turn it back on when you want. No new term.
Stopping professional monitoring stops monitoring-centre response. Camera recordings depend on your equipment and storage setup. Any remaining equipment payments and promotional commitments still apply.
