Your alarm will still function after the contract end if you decide to cancel it. It just will not notify anyone. It will still make a lot of noise and scare off any crooks. All the door tacks and motion detectors will work with most systems. The only thing that may need to be changed is the key pad. Most alarm company's will upgrade your system for free if you decide to choose another provider. So no need to keep out dated equipment.

Get quotes from other companies first and compare. But no, you are free to choose who monitors your system as long as you are not under contract. We do take overs all the time from people that have been with other companies. And sometimes other companies takes our customers. It's just a matter of a technician re-programming the security panel with a few different account numbers and phone numbers so it sends to their company instead.
