## What we do
- Retrofit existing alarm systems (Bosch, DSC, Paradox, Hills, Ness, Arrowhead and more) with a smart module so they can be controlled from a smartphone app.
- Install new smart alarm systems with door, window and motion sensors.
- Optional integration with Apple HomeKit, Google Home and Amazon Alexa.
- Optional connection to a 24/7 professional monitoring service.

## Key facts
- No mandatory monthly subscription.
- Alarms continue to work locally even if Wi-Fi or power drops out (sirens still sound, keypad still arms/disarms). Cellular and battery backup available.
- Most retrofits take 2–4 hours; new full installs typically half a day to a day.
- Free compatibility check before any work — we provide a quote and only suggest a site visit if required.
- The smart system stays with the home if sold and is a selling point.

## How it differs from DIY systems (e.g. Ring)
- Ring is a doorbell; SwitchedHomes installs full home alarm systems (door, window, motion sensors) professionally with warranty.
- No required subscription.
- Works locally without internet or power.
