Why Invest in a Home Alarm System?
A home alarm system is a network of sensors, cameras and a control panel that detects intruders and alerts a monitoring center. It typically combines intrusion detection (door and window sensors, motion detectors), a siren and 24/7 monitoring. A yard sign and a visible keypad deter burglary on their own.
A monitored system also lowers risk in ways a lock cannot. Many insurers reduce home insurance premiums for homes protected against theft by a monitored alarm system. Ask your insurer about the discount before you sign.
Protection Against Break-Ins, Fire and Water Damage
Break-ins are only one threat. Fires and floods also cost homeowners every year. Sting’s residential security systems cover these risks too:
- Fire: a smoke detector triggers the alarm and the monitoring center calls emergency services
- Carbon monoxide: a CO detector warns you before the gas reaches a dangerous level
- Flood and water damage: water sensors and sump pump alarms detect a leak early
- Freezing pipes: a freeze sensor reports a temperature drop in a cottage or basement
With a smart water shut-off valve, the system closes the water supply automatically when a sensor detects a leak. That one device prevents most of the costly flooding that follows a burst pipe.
Residential Alarm Systems Installed, Programmed and Supported by Sting
Sting combines the fast, personal service of a small company with the reliability of a large provider. Many clients come to us after dealing with large telecom providers such as Bell and TELUS, where a service call means a long wait. Our residential alarm systems are installed by Sting technicians, programmed for your home and supported remotely for as long as you are a client.
You never configure the equipment yourself. Professionally installed home security systems avoid the false alarms and weak entry points that self-installation kits often leave behind. Professional installation is part of every package.
Professional Installation and Remote Programming With Sting Support
A Sting technician installs every sensor, tests every zone and trains you on the app before leaving. If you are comparing installers, our alarm installer in Montreal page explains each step of the visit.
After installation, Sting Support takes over. A technician can access your system remotely to run a diagnostic, change a user code or adjust the programming. Most service calls end without a home visit and without an appointment.
Remote programming means most adjustments take minutes, not a scheduled visit.
Control Everything From the Alarm.com App on Your Smartphone
Alarm.com powers the Sting mobile app. The app runs on an iPhone or an Android phone and connects to your system through Wi-Fi or a cellular connection. From one screen, you arm and disarm the system, watch live video from your cameras, review recordings and receive real-time alerts when a door opens.
The same app controls smart locks, a smart thermostat for energy savings, lights and the garage door, turning the panel into a smart home security system with basic home automation, and it works with Google Assistant for voice commands. Video monitoring keeps up to 30 days of recordings in cloud storage, so you can review any event after the fact.

Every residential alarm system Sting installs starts with the same core: a touchscreen panel, entry sensors, motion detectors and 24/7 monitoring. You then add cameras, a doorbell or smart locks as your needs grow. When you compare home security solutions, check four things: the components included, professional monitoring, the mobile app and the monthly monitoring fees.
Monitored Packages With a Touchscreen Panel and Mobile App
Sting offers three monitored packages. Each interactive home alarm system includes professional installation, 24/7 professional monitoring, the mobile app, a touchscreen alarm panel and a comprehensive equipment warranty. Every home security package can be expanded later with more motion sensors or cameras, without replacing the panel.

Get startedDoor and Window Sensors, Motion Detectors and Glass Break Sensors
Door and window sensors (one contact sensor per opening) detect when an entry point opens while the system is armed. A motion sensor covers a hallway or a large room, and each motion detector can be a pet immune model that ignores animals under a set weight. A glass break sensor reacts to the sound of a broken window, and heat sensors add early fire detection.
Curious about the technology? This guide explains how motion detectors work. These home security sensors are wireless and battery powered, with tamper protection built in.
Indoor Camera, Outdoor Camera and Video Doorbell Options
An outdoor camera watches the driveway and the entrance, and a visible camera helps deter vandalism. Sting cameras record in HD with infrared night vision, and each outdoor model is weatherproof. An indoor camera covers the main living areas. A video doorbell (a doorbell camera at the front door) lets you see and speak to a visitor through two-way talk, even when you are away.
Our team also handles video doorbell installation as a standalone service. Professional monitoring and cellular video verification reduce false alarms: the monitoring center sees what triggered the alarm before calling the police.
24/7 Alarm Monitoring and Emergency Response
Every Sting alarm monitoring system sends its signals to a central monitoring station, the alarm center, 24 hours a day. This home security monitoring never pauses for holidays. When a sensor triggers, operators verify alarms and contact first responders if needed. That emergency response applies to intrusions, smoke, carbon monoxide and water leaks. Alarm monitoring, including intrusion monitoring, is included in every package.
Professional Monitoring vs Self-Monitoring
With professional home alarm monitoring, trained operators assess each alarm and call emergency services when you cannot respond. This matters most at night or while you travel. A break-in, a fire or a carbon monoxide leak gets a response within minutes.
Self-monitoring relies on remote monitoring from your phone: push notifications arrive, and the call is yours to make. Monitored home security systems carry a monthly fee. Self-monitored systems cost less, but they work only if you see the alert in time. Our article on alarm monitoring services compares both options in detail.

Home Alarm Systems: Frequently Asked Questions
These answers cover the questions Montreal homeowners ask most before choosing home alarm systems.
How Much Does a Home Security System Cost in Quebec?
The cost of a home security system depends on the equipment, the monitoring plan and the contract. Sting packages include 24/7 monitoring for a fixed monthly fee, and the packages above show what each one contains. This guide details how much a home alarm system costs, including ongoing fees.
Quebec homeowners often compare national providers such as ADT, Bell, TELUS, Chubb and Protectron with local installers such as ASC Security, Acces Secure and Sting. Pricing models differ. Some providers offer equipment financing or month-to-month monitoring. TELUS sells an optional Guard Response add-on, where a uniformed guard checks the alarm in person.
A DIY alarm security kit costs less upfront, then adds a monthly subscription for professional monitoring. Before signing with any provider, ask for its RBQ licence and its BSP licence (Bureau de la sécurité privée), and ask whether its central monitoring station is ULC-listed. Some insurers require ULC monitoring for a premium discount.
Can I Control a Wireless Alarm System From My Phone?
Yes. A wireless alarm system connects to the Alarm.com app on iOS and Android. You can arm the alarm, view live video, lock a smart lock and receive security notifications from anywhere. Alarm.com, which powers security providers across North America, also offers an Apple Watch app and works with Amazon Alexa on Echo devices.
Its geofencing feature reminds you to arm the system when you leave home. Other platforms follow the same idea: TELUS uses its SmartHome app, Vivint uses the Vivint app and the Vivint Smart Hub, and Honeywell panels use Total Connect. Alarm.com-compatible panels such as the IQ Panel can also control Z-Wave smart locks, including Schlage models.
Wireless technology removes the cables that an older wired alarm system needs, so a wireless home security system installs faster. Sting installs wireless alarm systems in most homes for that reason. If your home already has a wired home security system, a Sting advisor reviews it during the quote.
Does My Alarm Work During a Power Outage?
Yes. Each Sting system has a backup battery and a cellular backup, so it stays operational during a power outage or an Internet failure. The battery activates automatically when the main power drops. Test it once a year.
DIY systems handle outages in their own way. Ring Alarm uses a base station with a 24-hour battery back-up, plus a range extender in larger homes, and Ring Alarm Pro adds an eero Wi-Fi router. Ring lists its professional monitoring as unavailable in Quebec, so check coverage for your address before you buy.
What Maintenance Does a Residential Security System Need?
A residential security system needs little maintenance. Replace sensor batteries when the app warns you, test each smoke alarm and sensor monthly and clean camera lenses. Standalone smoke alarms, such as KIDDE models, need their own battery checks. Sting Support updates the firmware remotely and checks that the monitoring link stays active.
Choose a Security Alarm System Built for the Quebec Climate
Security alarm systems from Sting use HD cameras and outdoor sensors designed for Quebec winters, some of the coldest in Canada. The same team also installs commercial security systems for offices, stores and warehouses, so one provider can protect your home and your business against intrusion and theft.
