I also went to the “Can I activate my equipment?” website provided by Tyler, and the answer was yes I can, but I don’t want to. I only want to use the system locally, not monitored.
The alarm panel and cameras are both designed only for use with Alarm.com service. The panel can be used as a local noisemaker without an account, but to get an Alarm.com login you would need to purchase Alarm.com service from a dealer like Surety.
SVR and camera setup and remote access also requires Alarm.com.
Professional operator monitoring is optional on your plan, but the ADC account is a monthly service. If you do not want to connect the panel, video service only is available in the Surety Cam plan.
