If you have an alarm system installed and you decide to move you can take the alarm system with you if you own it. Make sure to check with the alarm company that did your installation. Depending on the alarm contract that you sign you may not own your system. Some companies will offer you a move certificate that will allow you to call them and they will come in and remove the existing system and reinstall it at your new location.

A monitored alarm system will automatically call up a monitoring station that will contact the authorities for dispatch to your home. If you do not have a monitored system then the security system relies on the attached siren to scare the intruder away and also to notify neighbors that may call the authorities for you. Even though a monitored system is the best of the best a non-monitored system is adequate and will still give piece of mind. If you do choose to have your system monitored then make absolutely for sure that you READ THE CONTRACT!
