What Happens After You Cancel
- Equipment still works — sensors will still trigger local alerts (siren) and push notifications to your phone
- No 24/7 monitoring — nobody calls the police for you anymore
- No cellular backup — system only works over WiFi after cancellation
- You keep everything — Scout equipment is purchased, not leased, so it's yours

How Scout Compares
- ADT: $28-52/mo, 3-year contracts, leased equipment = $1,000-1,800/year locked in
- Vivint: $30-45/mo, equipment financing traps, aggressive door-to-door sales
- SimpliSafe: $18-28/mo, no contracts, owned equipment — most similar to Scout
- Ring Alarm: $10-20/mo, owned equipment, works with Ring cameras
- Scout: $10-20/mo, no contracts, renter-friendly, easy to move
💡 Insurance Discount: Professional monitoring (Always On plan) typically qualifies for a 5-20% homeowner's or renter's insurance discount. If your discount saves you more than $20/month, the monitoring literally pays for itself. Check with your insurance provider before canceling.
