Takeover and "Tradeout" Options

1st Security gives customers the ability to takeover or "tradeout" an existing home security system. This allows customers to keep or upgrade their system to a new keypad, while saving them money by not having to replace system components like door/window sensors.

DIY or Professional Installation

The company also offers both do-it-yourself and professional installation options.

Home Automation Offering

1st Security sells all basic aspects of a home automation system, including smart door locks, thermostats, lighting modules, and garage door openers.

Limited Information

The security provider offers extremely limited information on its website regarding important factors like general pricing, contract terms, equipment cost, etc. The website states that prices start as low as $39.99/month, but this is only for taking over the monitoring of an existing system, and it's unclear whether this cost is for landline monitoring (which is often the case for a company's lowest monthly package). There are no specifics listed on contract terms and equipment costs.
