FAQ

Frequently asked

Do you install new Kantech systems in California?

Yes. Fireside Security is a licensed C-10 contractor and an experienced Kantech integrator across California. We handle design, permit submittal, installation, commissioning, and acceptance testing.

Can you take over service on an existing Kantech system?

Yes. We routinely take over Kantech systems installed by other contractors. We start with a full site survey, verify programming, replace end-of-life components, and bring documentation current.

Do you monitor Kantech systems at a UL-Listed central station?

Yes. All monitoring is delivered from a UL 864 Listed central station over dual-path IP + LTE-M cellular — no dependency on copper POTS lines being retired in 2026.
