United Alarm operates a dedicated Senior Safety program providing Personal Emergency Response Services (PERS), a 2-way voice speakerphone pendant system that allows older adults to summon help from anywhere in their home. The pendant operates up to 600 feet from the base station, covering an average home including indoor and outdoor areas, so seniors remain connected even away from the main unit.
The PERS system is fully supervised and water-resistant, allowing use in bathrooms or showers. Lithium-ion batteries offer over 4 hours of talk time per charge, with standby batteries providing up to 24 hours of emergency backup power during home outages. The pendant can be worn three ways: lanyard, wrist or wheelchair strap, or belt clip.
Clear full-duplex voice communication connects directly to United Alarm's central station with unlimited talk time per call. The system checks in every 13 hours to confirm pendant battery and function, and alerts the station if power fails or signal is lost. Multiple pendants or wall communicators (up to four) can connect to a single base unit.
United Alarm is ULC-certified and a 14-time Consumer Choice Award winner, backed by 24/7 live operators in Calgary since 1990.

This is the worst, most inefficient and potentially dangerous alarm company in Canada. They do not have 24/7 technical support and what support they do offer is absolutely awful. Technicians are incompetent. After reporting a bf error I was told nothing was wrong and a week later the box is beeping loudly every 10 minutes. It’s midnight and I can’t speak to one of their incompetent technicians for 8 hours. Better you have no alarm that deal with United Alarm and their partner in crime Securtek. Shame on both of them for supplying such stunningly inferior products and non-existent support when their customers need it most. Signed, a soon-to-be ex-customer.

United Alarm has been fantastic. I really appreciate how accessible they are as a local company, it makes a huge difference being able to contact them if something goes wrong or if you have a question that needs quick attention. Darryl and Gerald have both been amazing to work with from start to finish. We had a dog-related issue come up, and it was completely resolved within 5 days. Extra shout-out to Darryl, who was incredibly patient while setting everything up for us. He truly went above and beyond.

Signed up for a 4 year contract. I have a dog but was told it wouldn’t be a problem. First day, my dog sets off the alarm and I’m at work. I ask united to come take a look, they tell me there’s nothing they can do and then charge me $80 for the house call. Shady business through and through. There are plenty of above board options for this service available. If you have another option, I suggest you take it.
