Trusted Alarm Monitoring Solutions in Portland, ME
Enjoying Portland’s vibrant city life, historic charm, and coastal views also means staying mindful of property safety. Whether you’re near the Old Port, in the West End, or along the waterfront, professional alarm monitoring helps protect against break-ins, fire hazards, and emergencies, with Alarm Relay offering trusted monitoring options to fit your needs and budget.
Why Alarm Monitoring Matters
Without 24/7 alarm monitoring, you rely solely on self‑alerts — which may delay response times during a break‑in or emergency. Professional monitoring ensures that trained staff immediately assess alarm signals and contact emergency responders when every second counts. That means faster help for burglaries, smoke or fire, carbon monoxide threats, and medical emergencies.
Compare Your Monitoring Options
Self‑Monitoring vs Professional Monitoring
- Self‑Monitoring: You get alerts on your phone, but you must take action yourself.
- Professional Monitoring: A trained team watches your system around the clock and contacts authorities for you.
Alarm Relay vs Other Monitoring Services

What Customers Are Saying
The customer service was very good experience today. Teresa Byrd was our sales representative and she walked us through possible purchases of equipment and forwarded us a list on installers. She reviewed several kits we could purchase and answered all of our questions. Thank you for a great call.
My wife and I decided to try Alarm Relay. We ordered a new device and scheduled a tech to help me install it. It took about an hour to install and program. It all went very smoothly. I was impressed with the techs knowledge of my system and checking things before we got started.So I'm happy with our choice.
I had a different monitoring company for approximately 40 years. They changed ownership and I was unhappy with the price increase and attitude. A friend of mine switched from that company to Alarm Relay. It took me several months but I finally switch. I really found a completely different attitude as well as a price that was less than half of what the previous company raised their fees to. I have spoken to the corporate side of the company as well as the central station. They are all extremely professional as well as friendly as can be. To top it all off they have a very nice referral program that benefits both my friend who referred me as well as myself. I am going to do my best to refer them any business I can even if they stop the referral program. I appreciate a business that answers their phones and definitely seems to care about their customers.
