Serving Barrhaven from 36 Capital Drive, Nepean · 24/7 monitoring · 613-233-1115
Barrhaven is one of the fastest-growing communities in Canada — Half Moon Bay, Stonebridge, Riverside South next door — street after street of new builds, young families, and porches full of deliveries. New homes deserve better than a bare builder rough-in.
Most Barrhaven builders rough-in alarm wiring at the panel. We finish the job: a First Alert ProSeries touchscreen, contacts on the doors, motion coverage, and monitored smoke/CO — usually in half a day, with no drywall cutting because the wiring path already exists.
Porch piracy follows new subdivisions. A VX1 video doorbell with AI package detection and a built-in siren, plus a camera on the driveway, means you get an alert the moment a package lands — and a recording if it walks away. It all lives in the same app as your alarm.

Three ways to do this
That one answer decides everything else — and in a lot of Barrhaven houses the panel that is already there can stay — on an app, or just monitored.
Our First Alert line, the one we are a Premier Pro Partner for. Usually the VISTA H3, or a ProSeries touchscreen, fitted and monitored — everything quoted in writing first.
A DSC, Honeywell VISTA, Qolsys or 2GIG panel usually stays exactly where it is — we add a communicator, keep your keypads and sensors, and it goes on an app.
A working panel and a real phone line is all this needs. We change who it dials and nothing else — no app, no new hardware, nothing to buy. $9.99 a month the first year.
In Barrhaven, specifically
If there was a panel on the wall when you got the keys, find out what it is before you pay anyone. A Qolsys panel already has Alarm.com built in. A VISTA or DSC can usually be kept. Type the model into the lookup and it tells you the route and the starting rate.
The usual offer is free equipment on a three- or five-year term. The equipment is rarely yours and leaving early can cost four figures. We are month to month with 30 days’ notice, and you own the equipment. Eight questions to ask whoever is quoting you — us included.
Water does more damage in a new house than a burglar does. A flood sensor by the sump and one by the water heater put an alert on your phone the moment water is on the floor — usually hours before anyone would have walked downstairs and found it.

Questions
Ideally right after closing, before furniture hides the wiring rough-ins. A typical new-build ProSeries install takes half a day.
Yes — the VX1 doorbell detects people and packages specifically, sends instant alerts, and records events. It's the most-requested add-on in Barrhaven.
Yes — Barrhaven, Half Moon Bay, Stonebridge, Riverside South and Findlay Creek are all in our regular service area.
Ask who owns the equipment at the end, how long the term is, what leaving costs, and what the monthly becomes after the term. Our eight questions page is written to be printed and handed to whoever is quoting you.
Most likely. Qolsys panels need only a plan; Honeywell VISTA and DSC panels take an Alarm.com communicator; older dialer panels use the Universal Communicator. If you already have the Alarm.com communicator and app, there is nothing to buy.
No. Month to month, 30 days’ notice to cancel. With less notice there may be one more monthly payment, because we are billed for your monitoring and Alarm.com account until they are shut off.
