FAQ

Frequently asked

Do you install new Milestone systems in California?

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

Can you take over service on an existing Milestone system?

Yes. We routinely take over Milestone 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 Milestone 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.
