Alarm takeovers in Markham
A lot of Markham homes in Cornell, Berczy Village and Cathedraltown came with a builder-installed alarm that was never fully set up, or was monitored by someone the homeowner never chose. Knightwatch can take it over and finish the job.
Builder-installed systems
Builder packages usually include a panel, a keypad and contacts on the main doors. They often leave out the garage-to-house door, basement windows, motion detection and monitored smoke detectors. We test what’s there, reprogram the panel for Knightwatch monitoring, and add only what’s missing.
Resale homes in Unionville and Markham Village
Older homes often have an alarm left by a previous owner. If the panel can be reprogrammed, there’s no need to rip it out. If it’s too old or locked, we’ll quote a replacement and reuse the wiring.
Offices and business units
Business tenants in Markham’s parks along Highways 404 and 407 often inherit an alarm from the previous tenant. We take it over, set new staff codes and opening/closing reports, and can connect it with access control. See commercial alarm takeovers.
