Upgrade Your Hardwired Alarm Panel With Cellular Monitoring Using Alula and SafeHomeCentral.com
Looking to modernize your existing hardwired alarm system and ditch outdated landline monitoring? SafeHomeCentral.com makes it easy and affordable to upgrade to cellular alarm monitoring using the Alula BAT-Connect or Alula BAT-Mini communicators. These powerful devices work with nearly all hardwired alarm panels from Ademco, Honeywell, First Alert, DSC, GE, and Interlogix.
With cellular UL central station monitoring starting at just $16.95 per month, no contracts, and all cellular carrier fees included, it’s the smart choice for reliable, modern protection.
Why Replace Landline Alarm Monitoring?
Traditional landline-based monitoring is quickly becoming obsolete. Phone outages, storms, and service discontinuation have made landlines an unreliable option for alarm signal transmission. Cellular communicators like Alula BAT-Connect and BAT-Mini solve this problem by offering fast, reliable, and secure connectivity—no phone line needed.
Plus, these devices give you mobile control through Alula’s smartphone app, allowing you to remotely arm and disarm your system, check system status, and receive real-time notifications of alarm events.
