Your security shouldn’t
have an expiration date
Cox HomeLife is discontinuing alarm service. Eagle Sentry keeps what we can, upgrades what matters, and monitors your home locally — free assessment, no pressure.
October 22, 2026. Cox says HomeLife equipment and app access stop that day — plan the handoff now.
(702) 736-8880Before you replace everything, find out what can stay.
Cox’s letter says current HomeLife equipment is not compatible with SimpliSafe. That generally means starting over with a new DIY system.
Eagle Sentry takes the opposite approach: inspect first, reuse sound contacts, motions, glass-breaks, wiring, sirens, mounts, and cable paths where possible, then professionally modernize the panel and communicator. You receive a written keep / upgrade list before making a decision.
Keep what works. Upgrade what matters.
Most Cox homes already have sensors and wiring worth saving. We don’t rip and replace by default — we inventory first, then modernize the brain of the system so monitoring never goes dark.
Keep
- Door and window contacts in good condition
- Motion detectors and glass-break sensors
- Existing low-voltage wiring and siren runs
- Camera mounts and cable paths (where viable)
- Your home’s coverage layout and zone logic
Upgrade
- Modern Qolsys IQ control panel
- Alarm.com app — arm, disarm, alerts from your phone
- Cellular signaling (not dependent on your home internet alone)
- Optional video, smart locks, and automation
- 24/7 professional monitoring + local guard response
Exact reuse depends on age and condition. Your free assessment includes a written keep / upgrade list before any work begins.
A local home for Cox customers
When a national or cable brand exits security, you don’t have to settle for another distant call center. You can choose the company already protecting Las Vegas neighbors.
Local since 1984
Not a franchise call center. Sound & Secure Inc. dba Eagle Sentry has protected Southern Nevada homes for four decades.
24/7 professional monitoring
Monitored around the clock by our partner Rapid Response, with full redundancy — plus local guard response from people who know the Las Vegas valley.
Local guard response
When an alarm needs boots on the ground, local guards from Green Valley Security, our patrol partner, are dispatched — not a notification alone.
Modern platforms
Qolsys IQ panels and Alarm.com give you the app experience Cox customers expect — and then some.
Room to grow
Start with alarm continuity. Add video, locks, lighting, audio, and networking when you want a true smart home.
Honest takeovers
We reuse sound hardware and rewire only what needs it. You get a plan before a truck rolls.
