It’s not uncommon to buy
It’s not uncommon to buy a house with a wired security system built in. But if you weren’t the original user, what are you supposed to do with all that equipment? On this week’s Ask SafeWise, we talk about ways to give an old security system new life.
Our first suggestion is to call the home security company the equipment belongs to. If your system is from a brand like Vivint or ADT, then you might be able to start a new contract with your current equipment and skip a lot of fees.
Or if you’re feeling up to a DIY challenge, try retrofitting your system with a kit like those from Konnected or Ring. These systems require a bit of wiring and electrical know-how, but they allow you to use your current equipment with new software and your smartphone.
And finally, you can leave the old stuff where it is or swap it out for a new DIY home security system. These options are a little pricey up front, but they’re highly customizable and have affordable options for monthly monitoring.
