Alarm Monitoring – Only $8.95 A Month with Alarm Relay


Affordable & Reliable Peace of Mind for Your Family, Home, and Business
There are many things to consider when choosing a monitoring company to work with, and which company you do choose can make all the difference.  Whether you are an unsatisfied customer with your current monitoring company or you are a new owner of a security system, we understand what's at stake and we would like to help.  That being said, here are few points to consider:

How much does Alarm Monitoring really cost?
Your home, business, and family's security is priceless.  Nevertheless, some companies will still inflate the bottom line. Some of the largest, most popular home security companies use this tactic to make millions of dollars on unsuspecting customers by charging low upfront costs for installation and equipment only to inflate the cost of monthly alarm monitoring. In all actuality, good alarm monitoring can be found for less than $10 per month, and with Alarm Relay your cost is $8.95 a month.

Not sure? Ask your insurance agent for help.
Ask - that's because the better the monitoring company, the higher the discount will be on your homeowner's insurance. Unlike other monitoring facilities, Alarm Relay is a UL installation and monitoring facility. This ensures you get the best in monitoring backed by the highest level of technical service.  In some cases, you will get up to 20% off your homeowner's insurance.

Still not sure? Ask the Better Business Bureau.
Ask - the BBB receives thousands of inquiries yearly about Alarm Relay. People want to know which company is the real deal. Can Alarm Relay really provide low cost monitoring without complaint? You bet! Alarm Relay has an A+ rating with the BBB.

In addition, here are some other questions to take note of –

Is Alarm Relay UL Certified? 
Of course!  The best alarm monitoring services are those that have received certification from UL. Companies with this certification have been thoroughly vetted by the independent global leader, which specializes in safety science. In providing safety security messages to more than three billion customers worldwide, we tend to agree with others in the industry that a UL certification speaks volumes about how well an alarm monitoring service performs.

How can Alarm Relay offer superb service for only $8.95 a month?
It's simple: you deal directly with the source because we cut out the supplier in the middle by marketing directly with the Home Security Store.

What do I have to lose?
Your total investment in doing business is only $107.40. If you do not like the service, then we invite you to fire Alarm Relay! Alarm Relay earns business one year at a time.

Are there automatic roll over contracts?
Alarm Relay will notify you 2 weeks prior to your expiration date each year. This gives you the choice to renew. Alarm Relay is that confident you will continue service.

And finally, ask Home Security Store professionals for their opinion!
When you are zeroing in on an alarm monitoring company, you should keep a few important aspects in mind. You should consider companies with excellent referrals and outstanding customer service. Home Security Store Vice President Ralph Winn, who has over 35 years of experience in the security industry, highly recommends Alarm Relay.

"I trust the staff at Alarm Relay, they are in the business of protecting lives and property and they take that responsibility seriously. And that's why Alarm Relay is monitoring my own business facility and my home," said Winn.

The cold, hard facts – and nothing but!

  1. Alarm monitoring should never cost $29.95 or higher per month. For years customers have been over-paying for monitoring service. This is due to the fact that the majority of alarm systems were originally financed for a very low dollar amount up front. The alarm company would typically make a return on investment over the course of the 3 to 5 year term of agreement. Moreover, most security systems that are installed in homes and businesses across the U.S. have been paid for years ago. But, does your alarm company call you to tell you that you can stop paying $29.95 per month now? Of course not!

  2. Not a DIYer? Most Burglar alarm systems are installed by independent alarm dealers. And guess what, they do not have their own central station monitoring. They have to go to a wholesale monitoring provider where they purchase monitoring at wholesale rates. Their wholesale rates are the same price that we offer you today by going direct.

Alarm Relay makes the list.
Which Alarm Monitoring company to choose is dependent on what you're looking for in a monitoring company? So make a list, not based on what any company is offering, but rather on what it is you want in monitoring. Separate those into categories. Next to each individual item, make a mark if these are absolutes and if they are not there, it doesn't matter what deal they are offering, you won't accept it.

  • The first is the actual monitoring and items that pertained to how the center handles your actual alarm signals. This is the real meat and potatoes of monitoring! What safeguards and security is in place for your information? What certification, listings and training do they have? What redundancy is available? What procedures are in place for emergency contingencies at the central station monitoring center? What backup communications are available and what procedures to ensure reliability of communications are in place?
  • The second is response to you. How do they respond to your need for alarm notification? What additional features are available such as emergency tech support if you have trouble with your alarm system? How responsive are they to changing your information and what safeguards are in place to ensure it's you making the changes? When you call them, do they take control and responsibility or are you shuffled between the dealer, installing company or any other entity?
  • The last is the ancillary features. These are items that are nice, but do not indicate anything about the monitoring center's alarm handling. What types of unique communications are available (broadband, etc) and what certification on these items do they hold? How secure do you feel using these ancillary services? Are these ancillary services approaching normalcy in the monitoring field or are they walking the edge? Do these ancillary services improve your security? Do these ancillary services improve your life with the alarm?
  • The final consideration, when the list is complete, is pure common sense and personal comfort. Think about what you want and how all these items mesh together. Does everything make sense to you about what you researched? Are you comfortable with your decision or is there something that lingers unanswered in your mind? Monitoring is all about how your alarm is going to be handled. It's about what if you can't do anything or say anything; will they still be there for you?
