Security System Takeover FAQs
Can Group One take over my existing home security system?
Yes—Group One Safety & Security specializes in security system takeovers for a wide variety of alarm brands. If your home already has a system installed—even one that’s inactive or previously monitored by another company—we can often reactivate it and connect it to our UL-listed 24/7 monitoring center.
Our licensed technicians will inspect your existing setup, verify compatibility, and walk you through any required updates. In most cases, we can reuse existing sensors, wiring, or hardware while giving you access to modern features like mobile control and smart alerts.
What types of systems can be upgraded or taken over?
We work with both hardwired and wireless systems, including models from Honeywell, DSC, GE, Interlogix, and more. Systems using phone-line (POTS), cellular, or IP-based communication can often be reconfigured to meet today’s performance and security standards.
If your current equipment is more than a few years old or lacks smart integration, we’ll recommend targeted alarm upgrades such as a new touchscreen panel, LTE communicator, or mobile app access—so you can modernize your system without a full replacement.
How do I know if my home security system is outdated?
Signs your system may need upgrading include:
• No access to mobile alerts or app control
• Frequent false alarms or sensor glitches
• Relies on 3G or landline-only communication
• No integration with smart devices or voice control
• Unmonitored or disconnected from central station services
If you’re experiencing any of these, it’s likely your system lacks the features and reliability expected from today’s home security systems. A newer system improves protection, convenience, and in many cases, can help you qualify for a homeowners insurance discount.
Will I lose features if I switch monitoring providers?
In most cases, you’ll gain more than you lose. Group One provides real-time intrusion monitoring, mobile control, professional service, and integrations with smart locks, cameras, thermostats, and more.
If your current system includes proprietary equipment (common with certain national brands), we’ll explain which components are compatible and offer affordable upgrade paths for any required replacements. The result is a better, more flexible security system—without the pressure of a long-term contract.
Is upgrading my system worth the cost?
Yes. A modernized security system offers improved reliability, convenience, and protection for your family and property. With features like remote access, app alerts, automation, and professional monitoring, your system becomes far more effective than older, outdated models.
According to Consumer Reports, many older systems and cameras lack important features like encryption, remote access, or two-factor authentication—leaving your home vulnerable. Upgrading with Group One ensures your system is not only up to date but also installed and supported by local experts who care about your safety.
