How is a NOW Security System better than other systems?

Other alarm systems do not provide an instant response; in fact, they make you wait in a queue once they receive your signal and then proceed to phone your house to determine if it is a false alarm. This procedure wastes valuable time and if your phone has been cut they have no way of communicating with you. Where as NOW Security uses their own NOW NET system which is an additional level of protection that activates the instant the line is cut. When the phone line is disabled, a wireless signal will be sent to the central station and operators will dispatch the authorities.

What about a warranty?

NOW Security systems provide a full 1 year Warranty. There is no charge for labor or replacement parts & equipment. At NOW Security we install, service and monitor the equipment ourselves so there is no need to worry about who is protecting your home or business. In addition, some of our competitors outsource their services. All NOW Security personnel are company employed & extensively trained.

What important information should I know about VoIP Telephone Service?

There is a service available to provide a lower cost phone service over high speed Internet (VoIP). NOW Security recommends that you use a regular landline telephone service for use with your alarm system. If you are considering replacing your existing telephone service with VoIP, please be aware that you may prevent your alarm from communicating with the monitoring station. This service is only as dependable as the internet connection in the premises, which can experience network outages or be affected by power failures.

Why doesn't NOW Security recommend window contacts?

Window contacts are expensive and ineffective. A thief can simply break the window glass, without opening it, and enter your home without tripping the alarm. NOW Security knows that the most effective system in home protection involves motion sensors. By combining motion sensors with our cellular radio communication technology, you will be in direct contact with a NOW Security operator almost immediately after a break-in. In certain specific situations window sensors can be installed, often coupled with glass break sensors.

Do I own the equipment?

Yes, unlike some companies that retain ownership of the equipment or worst yet use privately manufactured equipment which guarantees them that you will remain a customer, NOW Security Systems sells you the equipment. The reason we can do this is we are confident in our ability to keep you Happy and Safe with our dedication and Professionalism.
