Before you hire
Ask this of anyone you are considering for the work — including someone who is not a LEO member:
- What happens to this system in a power or internet outage?
- Is monitoring a contract, how long, and what does cancelling cost?
- Can you take over the equipment already in the house, or does it all need replacing?
What's different in South Florida
Palm Beach County requires alarm system registration, and repeated false alarms carry fines — which makes correct setup and a properly trained household worth more than extra sensors. Seasonal residents have a particular need: a system that tells a neighbor or a monitoring center something is wrong in a house nobody has walked through since April. Ask what happens during a power or internet outage, because in storm season that is not hypothetical.
