Can I Bring My Security System With Me When I Move Out?

A security system is a great way to protect your home, but what happens when you move? Can you take your security system with you, or do you have to start from scratch at your new place?

The answer to this question depends on a few factors, including the type of security system you have and your service provider.

Hardwired Security Systems

If your security system is hardwired, then it unlikely that you can take it with you when you move. Hardwired systems are installed by professionals and are very difficult to relocate.

Some service providers may be willing to disconnect and re-install your system at your new home, but this is typically not included in standard service contracts.

Wireless Security Systems

If you have a wireless security system, it may be possible to take it with you when you move. Wireless systems are battery-powered devices that communicate with a central control panel using WiFi. These types of systems are often easier to install and can be quickly disconnected and reconnected at a new location.

However, it is a good idea to check with your service provider to see if they offer this type of service before you make any decisions. Some service providers may not allow you to take your system with you or may charge an additional fee for the installation.
