Best-In Industry Professional Monitoring

We only work with the very best in the industry and our monitoring station is a 5 diamond rated monitoring station meaning it is rated highest in it’s class.

Advanced Cellular Connection

No need to pay for a landline to have our system. We use advanced cellular technologies, which means you can save money and be safer. Many intruders try to bypass systems by cutting phone lines, but our cellular-based system means you are protected against this loop hole.

Easy to Use

With a touch screen keypad and smart phone controls standard and an option for key remotes to arm and disarm the system, you can’t get anything easier to use than a Cransten Smart Home. It’s no wonder our customers have an active usage percentage much higher than the industry average.

Great Price

Typical systems can be $40-100 a month depending on a provider. Don’t ruin your pocketbook trying to protect your family. With packages starting as low as $24 a month, Cransten has many options that not only protect but are very economically feasible for you as a customer.

2-Way Voice Monitoring

We only monitor our customer’s systems the way that we would want a system ourselves, which means we only install systems that are monitored by 2-way voice communication with our dispatchers. This means we are able to verify your emergencies before police are dispatched, eliminating many false alarms and typically giving your alarm priority over those which are unverified. Many cities and municipalities have requested that alarms receive multiple verifications before dispatching police. This means that 2-way voice is more important than ever in that it allows your alarm to be compliant with these requests as we are able to receive a sensor trip notification and an audio notification.

Pet Friendly

Our systems are pet friendly. Many pet owners get our Cransten system primarily for the pet protector program; to make sure pets are safe from fires and to make sure they are protected during intrusions as well. We help our customers design systems that do not use motion detectors in areas where pets frequent in order to eliminate issues with false alarms.

Home Owners Insurance Savings

Insurance companies know that having a monitored security system is one of the best ways to eliminate and mitigate issues around the home. They will typically give their customers upwards of a 10-20% discount off their homeowner’s policy by having a monitored system.

Mobile Device Controls and Access

Arm your system from anywhere. Access smart features such as doorlocks, thermostats, cameras, garage door openers, all from your smart phone. Get alerts if you left the door open, forgot to arm your security, or if someone walks in front of your cameras. We can make your system and home truly smart!

Energy Management Savings

Our customers save $24 a month average by having our smart thermostats installed along with their system. We help customers save by alerting the thermostat to adjust temperatures up or down by a few degrees based on when you come or leave the house. Our thermostats also change temperatures and operate more efficiently than the typical thermostat.

Tax Benefits

Make sure to contact a CPA, but many individuals who run a home-based business are able to write off expenses related to their security system and smart home.

Great Tech Support and Customer Service

We have award winning monitory and customer service. Most all of the answers to your questions can be found on our online help portal. We also have many video tutorials to help guide you through any questions you will have. Use these tools to help make your home truly smart!

Smash and Grab Protection

Intruders have found out about an easy way to bypass most security systems by smashing the keypad before the alarm trips. However, Cransten keypads are not susceptible to this as they have tamper switches built into them, so if a intruder tries this trick, it does not work on our system.

CO Protection

Carbon monoxide poisoning is called the silent killer. It often times affects us without us realizing. The thing people don’t realize is that even with carbon monoxide detectors in the house, families can still pass away. The problem is if the carbon gets to you before it gets to the detector, you will pass out before you hear the detector go off. By having a Cransten smart carbon detector, your alarm will automatically alert local responders, even if you pass out.

Advanced Fire Protection

Most smoke detectors just make a beeping sound in the home. However, if you are not home, it does not do much good for you as you will not hear it and usually most neighbors don’t hear it or realize the house is on fire until it is too late. The great thing is with your Cransten smart system, as soon as a fire starts, the system will notify local fire responders. The turn around time is typically 20 minutes faster giving them time to save most, if not, the entire house, animal lives, and potentially human lives as well too.

Portable-Take the System With you When you Move

Even if you move, you can take the Cransten smart system with you wherever you go to. The Cransten wireless system is easy to install and also very easy to un-install. Our full service customers are backed by a free move guarantee as well!

Mobile and Local Life Alert Options Available

Want Life Alert at the house or on the go? We offer both options depending on your circumstance. Go to our store now to check it out.

Better Looking and Better Functioning System and Equipment than other DIYs

Most DIY systems use old, out-dated technology that has been around for a while. They don’t look good and leave many customers frustrated as they don’t do many things they would like it to do. The other limitation is many DIY systems rely on customers receiving a text message, hoping they can see the message, call cops, and get them out to their house quick enough to help. The reality is this almost never works. Most of us are busy, have meetings, have to fly, have to be at kids events. We don’t have time to be our own responders too. This is why trusting Cransten trained professionals to be the backbone to your home emergencies is the simplest and easiest way to know your safety will be assured.
