Because GEOARM sells a wide assortment of products from a large network of home security brands, the prices range to fit the unique budget of any customer.

Because GEOARM is a third-party provider, when customers sign up for monthly monitoring services with them, it is actually a different brand that will be monitoring their home security.

Features and benefits of monthly monitoring vary depending on the brand that is monitoring your system.

Customers can choose between DIY or professional monitoring. DIY only includes self-dispatching, and pro central station monitoring includes professional dispatching. If customers choose professional monitoring, they can also decide whether or not they want to use the interactive monitoring app.

GEOARM is one of the most affordable home security companies in the industry. With GEOARM, a customer can sign up for month-to-month monitoring plans from $30 to as low as $8 - less than half the monthly monitoring fees of some of the top companies in the industry.

The monthly price greatly depends on the brand the customer has chosen to monitor their system.

• DIY Monitoring: $8/month - $15/month
• Professional Monitoring: $10/month - $30/month

Videofied’s professional monitoring services are the most expensive that GEOARM offers at $30/month.

If you are looking for a cheap way to monitor your system. GEOARM might be the answer. Their website is very transparent about pricing and the brands of equipment they sell. Because they sell such a wide variety of products, you can customize your home security system to fit your home’s unique needs.

While GEOARM is a less expensive option and provides a variety of home security solutions, it’s difficult to say if customers have enjoyed their experience with GEOARM since we haven’t received many reviews.

If you are worried about their customer service or installing the equipment yourself, you may want to look elsewhere.
