I want to request a seasonal disconnect.
Requesting a seasonal disconnect.
If you’re going away for an extended period of time and switching your home telephone service to “seasonal disconnect”, please contact your telephone provider for details on how this service will work. To allow your alarm system to maintain its ability to communicate with the monitoring station, you will need to confirm the phone number(s) their seasonal disconnect service will work with. Different telephone providers handle this service in different ways; some strictly restrict your phone to not allow incoming calls and/or will only allow outgoing calls to one toll‐free number. Therefore, you may be required to have a different phone number programmed into your alarm system to be compatible with this service which may require a service call from one of our technicians. Always test your system once the “seasonal disconnect” service has been activated to ensure that the system can still communicate with the monitoring station. Please note that in order to make changes to your account, we must verify that you are the account holder. Fill out the form below and a representative will be in touch to complete the process.

I’ve disconnected my landline.
Already disconnected landline.
If you have already disconnected your landline, you may have noticed a yellow triangle on your keypad, indicating that your security system is no longer being monitored, leaving your home unprotected. This applies to any alarm system that communicates through the phone line. In order to ensure your home is protected, you should upgrade to a cellular or Internet communicator. Please fill out the form below and a representative will be in touch to help process your request.
I would like to cancel my monitoring service.
Cancelling your monitoring service.
We must verify that you are the account holder in order to cancel service with us.

If you are moving and would like to relocate your service, we would be happy to help you with that process. If you still want to cancel your monitoring service, we are sorry to see you go. Please understand that we cannot discontinue service without verifying the account holder’s identity. Please fill out the form below and one of our representatives will contact you to complete the process.

Helpful Tips
Getting the most out of your security system
- Educate alarm system users. Anyone who has a key to your property must be able to operate the alarm.
- Set up different alarm codes for different users of the system (i.e. babysitter, cleaners, contractors, etc.)
- Lock all alarmed doors and windows
- Be aware of drafts that could trigger a motion alarm: i.e. open windows or heating and air conditioning vents that can move curtains, plants, balloons, etc.
- Contact Wilsons immediately if you have any questions or concerns about the operation or performance of the alarm system.
- Notify Wilsons if you plan any remodelling such as changing doors, moving walls, hanging dry wall, sanding floors, any work that involves running wires or makes changes near the keypad or security panel.
- Notify Wilsons immediately if you change your telephone or Internet service.
- Ask Wilsons about regularly scheduled inspections of your alarm system.
- Replace low batteries promptly.
- Test your system and all its devices regularly. Click here for instructions.
- Add both the incoming and outgoing monitoring station phone numbers to your phone contacts. The phone number you call to reach the monitoring station (for example, to report a false alarm) is different from the phone number that will appear on the caller ID when the monitoring station calls you (for example, if an alarm is triggered), so we recommend you clearly label them as ‘Incoming’ and ‘Outgoing’ or something similar.

What to do if you set off your alarm by accident
- First, Don’t Panic. There is time. Enter your disarm code (carefully) to reset your system. Remember, if there were a burglar, he or she would not know your code. Do not write it on your keypad!
- Call your monitoring station. Give your All OK password (this is not your disarm code). Be sure to follow all procedures established by your monitoring station.
