Yes. Our motion detectors contain several options to avoid and control sensor sensitivity so that your pets can wander freely throughout the home--all of which you can discuss in further detail with any Slomin's technician. Detectors typically allow for pets up to 30 lbs. and for larger animals, pet alleys can also be set up.

While a dog can protect you when you're home, it takes a Slomin’s Shield home security system to safeguard your pup for when you aren’t. Unfortunately, burglars are ruthless and often willing to harm whatever's standing in their way of gaining access to your home. In the event of a house fire, Slomin’s fire protection offers immediate response to your signal in order to help protect your pets at home. Like our burglary protection, Slomin's fire safety and other protection services are all connected to our central monitoring station, allowing us to contact you immediately and respond effectively if something goes wrong.

Only Slomin's hardwired smoke detectors will beep/chirp, indicating that your device's battery is low. When it does, simply twist the bottom to open your device and replace the batteries with new ones. Any other smoke detectors DO NOT "beep or chirp". Perhaps you have an old battery powered smoke detector that is not part of your Slomin's alarm system and its battery is running low. If you have a wireless Slomin's smoke detector and the battery is running low, your touchscreen keypad will display a "low battery" light.

Slomin's helps ensure you enjoy the same trusted protection at your new home. If you're planning to relocate, here's what you can do:

• Bring your system equipment into your new home and continue the same service.  If you are not capable of installing the system in your new home, we'll send over a trained technician to do it for you at a minimal fee.
• Leave your system behind for the new homeowners.  Slomin’s will install a brand new system and continue the agreement to monitor the system.
• Transfer your current agreement over to the new homeowner, then install a brand new system and new agreement to your next place for free.  *Please be advised that additional required fees may vary depending on location.

Whether its with Slomin’s or any other company/individual, it's extremely important to make sure you fully read and understand the agreement of which you're signing for. Slomin’s rewards a $1,145.00 home security system - free of charge - to customers who sign up for five years of central monitoring. If you break your end of the contract, Slomin’s has no way of compensating for the loss on equipment. In essence, if you sign a contract then decide that you no longer wish to protect your home with central monitoring, you remain accountable for the outstanding balance listed on your contract.

Our basic alarm system installations typically take 3-4 hours.

If "low battery" is displayed on your keypad, here are some common causes and how to fix it:

• Your house does not have power, or recently lost power. In cases like this, your system will continue to operate on battery back up until it runs out. Once power is restored in the home, the battery will recharge automatically and restore your system once finished.  *Please allow a 24-hour period for the battery to fully recharge.
• The system transformer is unplugged.  Check to see that your alarm panel transformer is securely plugged in.  If not, plug it back in.
• Faulty power source.  If the alarm panel transformer is plugged in, check to see if there's any power coming from the outlet itself by plugging in another appliance and see if it works.  If not, check the appropriate circuit breaker that the outlet is connected to.  If your breaker is functioning - schedule a service call from a Slomin’s technician.  If your breaker if not functioning - you’ll need to call an electrician.
• Your battery needs to be replaced. Replacement batteries can be purchased from Slomin's for $25 and mailed to you with installation instructions. You can also request a service call and have one of our technicians replace it. (If you choose this option, you'll be charged for time and materials.) Finally, you can call for the battery’s specifications and purchase a replacement from a retail store.
