THE BASIC PLAN:
The Basic Plan is designed for people who only want a very low cost, limited alarm monitoring service whereby they receive all alarm event notification via SMS Text or Email Messaging only. The main disadvantages compared to the regular Home/Business Plans are: SMS & Email Messages are not as reliable as voice communication (can be delayed), and are also easy to be ignored by the recipient. Other disadvantages are that you can not speak directly to an operator, and you can not select to dispatch a guard to your premises unless you call the Digital Monitoring Centre & provide your credit card details. If you select the Basic Plan, you accept that you are not receiving the full benefits & protection level that your Watchguard Digital & professional SecureNet Monitoring service can provide.
4.Monitoring Plan Costs
Once you have purchased your Watchguard Digital System from your dealer, you will be billed automatically each month for the monitoring service as long as you choose to have the system connected to your phone line. The ongoing monitoring service charge is simply billed to your regular phone account.
If you no longer require a monitored security system, you may simply disconnect your Watchguard Digital from the phone line and no further payment is required. Please note that the product is then of no use to you as it will simply enter “shutdown mode” as described earlier in this document.
The cost of the HOME PLAN is $29.90 per month including GST.

The plan includes up to 10 voice / SMS alarm notification calls to all nominated recipients per month & unlimited email notifications.
