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
- Local monitoring + local guard response
Exact reuse depends on age and condition. Your free assessment includes a written keep / upgrade list before any work begins.
