Residential vs business quote
Residential quotes usually focus on alarm monitoring, panic buttons and armed response. Business quotes may also include CCTV, access control, keyholding, guarding, multiple zones and after-hours escalation.
Existing alarm connection
If you already have an alarm, mention the alarm brand if you know it. Ask whether it can be connected to monitoring or whether a communicator, battery or panel replacement is needed.

Frequently asked questions
How many quotes should I compare?
At least compare what is included, even if you only speak to one provider.
Is armed response the same as guarding?
No. Armed response is dispatch after an alert/panic; guarding is on-site personnel.
Can I request a quote for a business?
Yes. Select business security and describe the premises.
Can I get a callback outside Gauteng?
The MVP focuses on Gauteng, but you can still submit your province for routing.
What if I only need a panic button?
Select panic button and describe who it is for.
