What a takeover looks like
We start by understanding what you already have. A typical takeover includes:
Get more from the system you have
An honest evaluation and only the work you actually need.
Equipment Evaluation
We assess your panel, sensors, and cameras, and tell you honestly what is worth keeping.
Monitoring Takeover
We take over monitoring on many existing systems without replacing your equipment.
Targeted Upgrades
We replace only what is dated or failing, so you are not paying for a full system twice.
App Control Added
We add Alarm.com control where your equipment supports it.
Backup Brought Current
Cellular and battery backup updated for reliable reporting during storms.
Local Support
Your system is backed by our Stuart team, not a company you never reach.

Upgrade and takeover questions
Do I have to replace my whole system to switch to you?
Usually not. We take over monitoring on many existing systems and upgrade only what is dated or failing.
How do I know what is worth keeping?
We evaluate your equipment and give you an honest recommendation, in plain language, before you spend anything.
Can you add app control to an older system?
Often, yes. We add Alarm.com control where your equipment supports it, or as part of a targeted upgrade.
I inherited a system with a new home. Can you help?
Yes. This is one of the most common calls we get from Treasure Coast homebuyers. We evaluate, take over, and update as needed.
Will I lose service during the switch?
No. We plan the takeover so your protection is continuous.
