Over the years we have found that many alarm owners (customers from all alarm companies, not just APX Alarm) simply don’t arm their system the majority of the time. Not only are you not getting the full value out of the system when you’re not arming it, but you’re also not receiving the full protection. [...]

Know Your System
I just got out of a meeting about the new APX Alarm Go!Control Panel and I learned some exciting things I wanted to pass on to all of you.
Alarm systems have always been about blaring sirens and monitoring stations watching out and calling you if there is a problem. But what about the little things? [...]
As promised, this is part two of the Carbon Monoxide series. The previous post was all about Carbon Monoxide (CO) itself, including how to recognize the symptoms of CO poisoning, and preventing the causes of CO buildup in your home. Today I want to focus mainly on the APX Alarm monitored CO detector.

Here’s your Sign.
Chances are, when your APX Alarm system was installed, the technician put a sign out in front of your yard. This is one of the best ways to add a little more protection to your home. While the sign is an advertisement for us, it is also a warning for would-be thieves and [...]

I can get an alarm monitored for [...]
Seriously, we love you guys (in a strictly professional and platonic way).
Ever since we announced that in the near future we would be using the new APX Alarm Control Panel we have had people asking about how they can go about getting one for themselves. The panel retails for $699. Soon, all existing customers will be [...]
As an alarm system owner, there are a number of great benefits that you are entitled to. Peace of mind is the major one, and in the coming future greater control and automation over your home. What about financial discounts? I suppose that it is probably too far to say that you are entitled to [...]
As I began writing this post today, I realized that alarm sensors are very aptly named. That is, their name pretty much explains what they do. “Motion Sensor:” Senses motion. “Smoke Alarm:” Senses smoke. “Glassbreak Sensor:” You guessed it, senses breaking glass.
But how, exactly, does a glassbreak sensor detect breaking glass? Well, to start off, [...]
As the owner of an alarm system you are among an elite group of home owners that have a direct link to dispatch the Fire, Police, or Medical authorities in your area. Your system is monitored 24 hours a day 365 days a year with the sole objective of protecting your home and family. [...]
