UPGRADE YOUR EXISTING ALARM SYSTEM WITHOUT REPLACING EVERYTHING
Your Existing Security Wiring May Be More Valuable Than You Think
An older alarm system doesn't necessarily mean you need to start over.
Many properties already have professionally installed door contacts, window contacts, motion detectors, glass-break detectors, wiring and other security infrastructure that may still be usable.
Secure Tech evaluates the existing system and determines what should be:
Retained • Upgraded • Replaced
DON'T REMOVE GOOD EQUIPMENT JUST BECAUSE THE CONTROL PANEL IS OLD
Control panels and communication technology may become outdated long before properly installed wiring and detection devices.
Replacing everything unnecessarily can increase cost and installation work while eliminating useful hardwired protection.
We inspect the existing system first and explain what is worth keeping and what isn't.
MODERNIZE AN OLDER WIRED SYSTEM
Depending on the installation, modernization may add:
• Modern security controls
• Smartphone arming/disarming
• Cellular communication
• Real-time notifications
• Modern touchscreen keypads
• Wireless expansion
• Compatible camera integration
• Professional monitoring
• Technologies designed to reduce communication vulnerabilities
• Wireless interference/jamming detection where supported
WIRED + WIRELESS CAN WORK TOGETHER
A modern system doesn't have to be completely wired or completely wireless.
Existing hardwired sensors can continue protecting already-wired areas while modern wireless devices can be added where running new cable would be difficult or unnecessary.
MODERN ALARM PLATFORMS
For new installations and significant upgrades, Secure Tech primarily uses:
DSC PowerSeries Neo
DSC PowerSeries Pro
Qolsys
We select the platform according to the property, existing infrastructure and security objectives.
ALARM.COM CAPABILITIES
Depending on compatible equipment and services, Alarm.com can provide smartphone control, cellular communication, notifications, user management, event history and compatible video/access-control integration.
TAKEOVER OF AN EXISTING ALARM SYSTEM
Customers do not necessarily have to remain with the company that originally installed or monitored their system.
Secure Tech can evaluate many professionally installed systems to determine whether they can be serviced, upgraded, reprogrammed or incorporated into a modern solution.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Can I upgrade an old wired alarm system?
Often, yes. Existing wiring and detection devices may sometimes be retained after evaluation.
Can I add wireless devices to existing hardwired protection?
With an appropriate platform, yes. Hybrid systems can combine wired and wireless devices.
Can I add smartphone control?
In many cases, yes. The solution depends on the existing equipment and new platform.
What existing alarm systems can Secure Tech service?
Secure Tech currently services DSC, Qolsys, 2GIG, Honeywell VISTA, Interlogix and older Morse by Optex alarm systems.
Service availability depends on the specific equipment, condition and parts availability for older/discontinued systems.
