Get a Free QuoteAZ Alarm Company designs, installs, and monitors home security systems across Phoenix from our office on Carefree Highway in north Phoenix. A typical Phoenix system combines door and window sensors, motion detection, a touchscreen panel, a video doorbell or outdoor cameras, and 24/7 professional monitoring, all controlled from one Alarm.com app.
Every system starts with a free walkthrough of your home, so you pay for the coverage your house actually needs instead of a fixed package. Our technicians are direct employees, we do not sell or subcontract our monitoring agreements, and we help you get the City of Phoenix alarm permit right from day one.
AZ Alarm Company’s office is at 3120 W. Carefree Hwy in north Phoenix. Our technicians are direct employees who start and end their day here, not a regional crew dispatched from another city or a subcontractor found by a national brand.
We also do not sell or subcontract our monitoring agreements, so the company you call about your Phoenix system is the same one that installed it.
Residential Services
Phoenix is stricter than most Valley cities about alarms, and some of its rules land on the alarm company, not just the homeowner.
Phoenix requires an alarm permit. The city’s published fee is $17, with a $17 renewal. An alarm without a permit is billed for every police response.
Before police are sent to a burglar alarm, the monitoring center must call at least two different phone numbers. Fire, holdup, robbery, panic, and duress alarms are exempt. Keep your contact list current so those calls reach someone.
The first false alarm is a warning. After that, the published fee is $96 for each false burglar alarm and $105 for each false fire alarm. The city holds the subscriber and the alarm company jointly responsible, which is exactly why we take training seriously.
City code expects a responsible party to arrive within thirty minutes of an activation to help police or fire secure the property. Worth deciding who that is before you ever need them.
Requirements and fees as published in Phoenix City Code Chapter 10, Article IX. Confirm current amounts with the City of Phoenix, or read our full Phoenix alarm permit guide.

A Phoenix home has different weak points and different habits than a home in another state. Here is what we plan for on a Phoenix install.
Summer storms knock out power and internet across the Valley. A monitored system with battery backup and cellular communication keeps reporting to the monitoring center when the power or Wi-Fi goes down.
Plenty of Phoenix households travel for weeks at a time in summer. Check the house, arm or disarm, view cameras, and adjust a smart thermostat from the Alarm.com app wherever you are.
A video doorbell lets you see and talk to whoever is at the door, and alerts you before anyone rings. Paired with the alarm, it is one more way to know what is happening at your property.
Most Phoenix homes have a side gate and a back yard behind a block wall. Outdoor cameras with custom alert zones notify you when someone crosses into the yard, not every time a car passes on the street.
The door from the garage into the house is one of the most-used entry points in a Valley home. We make sure it is covered, along with the other doors and accessible windows found during the walkthrough.
Door sensors can chime every time a door to the back yard or pool area opens, even when the system is not armed, so you hear it when a child or guest heads outside.
Real reviews from AZ Alarm customers, shown with the city each one lives in.
Have used AZ Alarm for 3 years. Always helpful from sales to service. Service is especially responsive and always makes sure that my security system is functioning properly. They have been honest with me and I never have felt that AZ Alarm tried to take advantage of me. They always take the time to make sure I am fully trained on managing my security system. Well done. 5 stars.
