Self-service monitoring means you manage your own Alarm.com account online. You choose your plan, activate your system, and control everything through the Alarm.com app. You still get full 24/7 professional monitoring from a UL-listed central station — the only difference is that you handle account management (adding sensors, changing settings, etc.) instead of Alertor managing it for you. It is ideal for tech-savvy customers who want premium monitoring at a lower monthly cost.

Yes. Every self-service plan includes 24/7 professional monitoring from a UL-listed central station. When your alarm is triggered, trained operators verify the event and dispatch police, fire, or EMS to your location. This is exactly the same monitoring infrastructure used by major providers like ADT — the difference is simply who manages your account settings.

Yes. You can upgrade or downgrade your plan at any time. For example, you can start with Alert ($14.99/mo) and later upgrade to Watch Plus ($28.99/mo) when you add cameras. Changes take effect on your next billing cycle.

There are no cancellation fees or penalties. Your monitoring service ends at the conclusion of your current billing period. Alertor provides a free equipment release, which means your panel is unlocked so you can take it to another Alarm.com dealer if you choose. Your equipment remains yours — we never lock you in.

Alertor offers self-service monitoring plans where you manage your own Alarm.com account. Plans start at $14.99/month for monitoring-only (no app), or $18.99/month with the Alarm.com app. All plans include 24/7 professional monitoring.
