WHAT TO CHECK
Start with your home’s layout.
Entry points, equipment placement and connectivity matter. So does knowing who responds to an alert, and under what terms.
Alerts & monitoring
Confirm whether the service is self-monitored or professionally monitored. Ask what generates an alert, who receives it and how the response process works.
Installation & terms
Review installation fees, equipment ownership, monitoring costs, contract length, cancellation terms and any local permit requirements.
AVAILABILITY & TERMS
Equipment, monitoring, installation and eligibility vary by provider and location. No security system can guarantee crime prevention or an emergency response time.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Home security questions
Availability, prices and provider terms need confirmation. Here’s where to start.
Contact Tarheel ConnectWhat is self-monitoring versus professional monitoring?
With self-monitoring, you generally review alerts and decide how to respond. Professional monitoring uses a monitoring service under the provider’s terms. Confirm the response process and charges for each option.
Can renters consider home security?
Yes. Available equipment and installation depend on the home and provider. Check landlord permission, mounting restrictions and what happens to the equipment when you move.
Do cameras need internet?
Requirements vary. Ask about connectivity, recording storage, subscription charges, backup connections and what happens during an outage.
Which security providers are available?
Call Tarheel Connect to confirm current providers, equipment, monitoring and location eligibility. This site does not claim a specific security-provider partnership.
Can a system guarantee my home is safe?
No. Equipment and monitoring can support awareness and response, but cannot guarantee prevention of crime or emergencies. Review the provider’s limitations.
What should I check before ordering?
Confirm the equipment and installation costs, monitoring charges, ownership, contract duration, cancellation terms, connectivity and any permit requirements.
