There are many local alarmco's that will deal with you (and provide the
monitoring service).  More than likely, however, they'd change the installer
code for the monitoring contract term.  If you own the equipment, they
shouldn't lock the panel, but you never know.  I'd always suggest using a
local alarmco's service/monitoring.  They're more "in tune" with the local
regulations and more than likely have a better working relationship with the
responding authorities.  You'll pay a little more than you would with Next
Alarm's service, but what price to do put on your "peace of mind"??
