Home Alarm Systems FAQs
How much for home security systems in Southern Ontario?
Home alarm packages here at Protection Plus are designed to suit your needs. Equipment and installation typically cost between $500 and $1,000, depending on your layout and specific needs. Monitoring begins at $29.95 a month and increases with additional features, such as visual verification or smart home integrations. Free quotes and consultations are available to help you properly budget for your project.
Is professional installation necessary, or can I do it myself (DIY)?
Peace of mind distinguishes the professional-grade installation delivered by Protection Plus. There are DIY systems available, but a professional can ensure that sensors are placed in the right spot, everything is connected, and working with the police, which those other systems cannot do if you’re doing it yourself. Their service specialists will also handle any necessary permit paperwork, working closely with municipalities such as Toronto or Mississauga.
Should I get professional monitoring or self-monitoring?
Protection Plus highly recommends 24/7 professional monitoring, including visual alarm verification, to reduce false alarms and expedite your police response time. Their monitoring is ULC-listed and Canada-based, ensuring compliance with Canadian privacy laws, such as PIPEDA. It does allow for down-and-dirty self-monitoring through their smart home apps, but that’s it, no emergency dispatch.
Will monthly fees escalate as this program matures?
Protection Plus has 3‑year contracts and no hidden rate hikes. You receive clear pricing upfront, with optional add-ons such as visual verification, video clips or smart home automation. Transparent billing enables you to monitor your costs accurately and avoid any unwelcome surprises.
Will a wireless system work in Canadian weather?
Protection Plus customers receive wireless installations and can opt for well-known brands, such as DSC, Qolsys, and Alarm.com. These systems are designed for Canadian conditions, typically featuring robust batteries and cellular failover capabilities. Your Alarm never stops working or communicating with your monitoring station — even during Ontario’s cold winters or power outages.
What are the basic elements of a home security system?
The Protection Plus alarm security system is designed with door/window contacts, motion sensors, touchscreen keypad, internal siren, and an optional smartphone module. They also have indoor/outdoor cameras, video doorbells, glass-break sensors, smoke/CO detectors, flood sensors and smart locks—all of which can be controlled remotely from the same platform.
Will pets trigger false alarms?
Protection Plus features pet immune motion detectors, which do not detect movement by animals under a certain weight (those weighing 25 to 40 kg are considered normal). Their trained installers position sensors strategically to reduce false alarms, a boon to households with dogs or cats. Also, you can adjust the sensitivity settings through the Alarm. com app.
I have heard that I can arm/disarm my security system from my cell phone. Is that true?
Yes. With Alarm. With com or Qolsys control, you can arm/disarm, view cameras, receive immediate alerts, and manage your devices using a dual-end-user and installer app. Protection Plus is cross-platform compatible, working with iOS and Android systems, and encrypts and protects everything using Canadian Data Servers where possible.
How quickly do the police rush to the scene once an alarm is set off?
Protection Plus can utilize visual alarm verification to verify actual threats, requiring a priority police response in several Ontario regions. Their trained operators respond instantly. Response times from the municipality remain inconsistent, depending on the location; however, a verified alarm is taken more seriously and can help prevent fines and delays.
Will a monitored alarm reduce my home insurance premium?
Yes. A Protection Plus monitored alarm system can help you obtain savings of 5 to 20% on your homeowners’ insurance with most insurance carriers. They provide you with a certificate of installation and monitoring for your chosen provider. Carriers like systems with verified video and smoke/CO alerts, which Protection Plus has offered to insurers.
