Only Operates through Dealers

Unlike some other home security installer companies, Qolsys does not actually provide its technology directly to customers; rather, homeowners and business owners will need to purchase the company's home security and automation solutions through an authorized dealer, which will often pair Qolsys equipment with components from other leading manufacturers.

As a result, wholesale pricing for Qolsys equipment is not disclosed on the site, as prices can vary from dealer to dealer. While this is not necessarily a negative for the company, customers should be aware of the fact, and refer to our verified Qolsys reviews to learn about the reliability and performance of the equipment itself.
