If you are a customer, login to customer care click on the shopping option to order your new signs or decals. If you are not a customer, feel free to contact us at 1.800.PROTECT(1-800-776-8328) so we can set you up with a new smart home security system.

Once your security system is installed and activated, it will be in “orientation” mode so that you have some time to get used to using your system. You’ll be able to get comfortable with the functionality of your new system without worrying about false alarms and related fines. During this time, Guardian will call only your primary phone number when your system sends a burglary, medical or panic alarm signal and we will notify emergency responders only if you request it. If you feel comfortable enough to turn off the orientation feature, you can contact us at 1.800.PROTECT and we’ll turn it off unless doing so violates a local municipal ordinance. If you have a monitored smoke or carbon monoxide detector, those alarm signals will be treated normally and we will alert emergency responders when we receive this type of signal from your system, regardless of the orientation period. Read more about our 7-day orientation period here.

If you reside in an area where your municipality requires a third-party guard service you will be charged according to your contract. If you are in a guard service area the Guardian Protection monitoring center follows a procedure that includes calling a guard service on the customers behalf in the event of an alarm.

Local law may require you to obtain a permit for your security system. Local authorities may not respond to alarm notifications until all permits have been obtained. We cannot begin monitoring until you have obtained, at your expense, all necessary permits and provide us with the permit number.
