Already have an alarm system?
Upgrade your security.
You may not need to start over.
In some installations, we can reuse existing equipment—including sensors and wiring from a wired alarm system. We inspect what you have before recommending what to keep or replace.
Upgrade a compatible panel
An Alarm.com System Enhancement Module (SEM) can modernize selected existing panels with remote access and connected features, without replacing the entire system.
About Alarm.com SEM ↗Not every system qualifies. We verify model, firmware, condition, programming access, power and service compatibility. Smoke and CO devices need a separate assessment; reuse is never assumed. Remote functions and monitoring require the appropriate active plan.
