Thanks to Anchor Door, my home now has the best security system that I have ever had...my home had been broken into on two separate occasions. But I now have a system that is both immediately responsive as well as dependable. I am grateful for the peace of mind that Anchor Door Technologies has brought into my home.

Anchor Door updated our office security systems seamlessly and professionally.  Our new systems work fantastically well and we couldn't have asked for anything more.  They are now scheduled to come to my home to update my residential system.  Thanks Anchor Door Technologies!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you quote a system over the phone?

No, we must perform a site survey of your home or business. One of primary value propositions to you, the end user, is our personalized service. We need to see and understand your unique installation, security, and technology requirements in order to propose the best possible solution. This also ensures that we understand the complete installation environment and can provide the quickest possible quality installation with no surprises or change orders.

Do you sell Do-it-yourself (DIY) systems?

No, we only sell professionally installed and monitored systems 

Do I need to sign a monitoring contract?

Yes.  All system installations require a monitoring contract.  This allows for the best possible user experience providing the following: 

  • Police and Fire department dispatching 
  • Live view and playback of video systems 
  • Cloud-based video clip storage
  • Mobile device push alerts 
  • Remote programming, service and diagnostics 

When you are ready to move forward with a new installation, our automated contract system will email the contract to you for online review and signature in our secure contract portal.  

Do I need WIFI to install a new security and home automation system?

Yes.  Broadband internet is required. The more robust WIFI you have, the better your system will operate. During our site survey, we will perform a wireless speed test at different spots throughout your home or business to verify proper signal strength at the necessary areas. We exclusively install the Qolsys alarm and automation hub which utilizes dual path connectivity.  Cellular and WIFI. Your system is constantly talking across both communication paths and will automatically utilize the strongest path.  So if your WIFI or Internet goes down, your system will still communicate and work remotely over cellular connection. 

Can I control my system through a mobile app?

Absolutely!  We exclusively use the award winning Alarm.com mobile app which allows the following: 

  • Alarm arm/disarm 
  • Disarm photo notification 
  • Live monitoring of cameras 
  • Camera motion notifications 
  • Answering of video doorbell 
  • Garage door open/close control 
  • Thermostat control 
  • Smart lock control 
  • Automation control of lights and electrical outlets 
  • Sonos integration 
  • Access control features 
  • Programmed notifications 
  • Add/delete card holders 
  • Remotely lock/unlock access control doors 
  • Apple Watch integration 
  • And more! 

Can you upgrade my existing alarm system?

Yes, most existing systems can be upgraded and we can utilize existing alarm sensors. We can take over and upgrade most hardwired alarm zones. We exclusively install the Qolsys alarm and automation hub powered by Alarm.com for remote access. The Qolsys panel has the ability to communicate with many legacy DSC, Honeywell, and Interlogix wireless devices. We typically replace all life safety devices such as smoke and CO detectors. A site survey is required for determination. 

Is Anchor Door Technologies properly licensed?

Yes.  We are currently licensed in (3) states, Maryland, Delaware, and Pennsylvania.

  • State of MD Security Systems Agency license #107-2429 issued by the Maryland State Police.
  • State of DE Security Systems and Protective Services license #21-15 issued by the Delaware State Police.
  • State of PA does not require a specific security company license. Anchor Door is properly registered through the State of Pennsylvania Bureau of Corporations.
  • All of our technicians hold Certified Security Technician licenses if required by the specific state.

Do I need to register my alarm system?

Yes.  By law, all residential and commercial alarm systems that are connected to a central alarm station must be registered with your local municipality before police or fire departments will be dispatched. Anchor Door Tech will submit this registration for you and keep it on file.  Once your system is tested and active, you are responsible for any false alarm fees issued by your local municipality.  We will provide you with your local statutes and fee structure. 

Can I save on my homeowner's insurance with a security system?

Most homeowner's insurance policies offer discounts for 24/7 monitored alarm systems. Anchor Door will provide you with a certificate to submit to your insurance company. Check with your homeowner's insurance agent to see if you qualify for a discount.

Founder's Message

Safe. Secure. Connected. That's what inspired me to start Anchor Door Technologies. As a mother of 2 teenagers, a wife, and a professional business woman, I wanted more control over the daily safety and security of my busy family. So I was inspired to create my own firm in order to deliver what I believe the market needs. And that is a local security and automation provider who can offer a personal level of customized service. Our goal is to provide peace of mind to every single customer we service. I am proud and grateful to have earned your trust as we provide you with the ultimate in safety, security, and connection. 

I would love to hear from you.
