Forum discussion: Hi all, I'd like to be able to turn on the Comcast home security alarm but without subscribing to Comcast security service. Basically, the alarm will sound and all but it won't call out to Comcast/Police. We recently helped a customer switch from Xfinity Home Security to ADT Pulse. The touchscreen and I found that the ones provided to me by the installer never.
There is also an additional advantage to this in that you DO NOT NEED TO BE HOME on the day of installation. - Completely FREE if you have a Comcast Service Center in your location.
You simply walk in, pick up your choice of equipment and set up a time for installation. NO CHARGE FOR INSTALLATION!
- $9.95 (YMMV) for UPS to overnight your equipment. I used this option.
Simply call them and tell them what you want. Again, NO CHARGE FOR INSTALLATION! I was ecstatic to be able to avoid their unnecessary (in my case at least) installation fees!
I hope this helps! I've had comcast install cable tv and internet at 2 locations in the past and never paid a dime for installation. In my new house, the tech even took the extra time to wire the voip to my central patch panel.
