Switch from Cox Homelife and get a free video doorbell, our welcome gift for making the move.Cox has discontinued Homelife. New sign-ups have ended and support for existing systems is being phased out, so whether your service is winding down or you're canceling Cox Homelife yourself, you'll need a replacement. Here's a plain-English rundown of what's happening and what to do about it, for homeowners across Las Vegas, Henderson, North Las Vegas, and Summerlin.
Cox stopped signing up new Homelife customers back in 2024 and no longer sells new equipment or monitored security service. Since then it has been winding down service for existing customers, and the dedicated Homelife app has been retired along with the online camera portal. Cox has shifted its focus to internet, TV, and phone, and is now only supporting existing devices for as long as that lasts.
For now your system may still arm and beep, but that's the part to watch. A security system is only as good as the monitoring center behind it, and when a provider winds a product down, the active monitoring and support tend to follow. If an alarm trips and no one is watching, it's just a noise. That's why it's smart to line up a replacement before your coverage lapses rather than after.
Cox Homelife runs on a proprietary panel locked to their service, so it won't carry over to a new provider and gets replaced when you switch. If any of your equipment is leased, Cox lets you return it to a retail store or by mail with prepaid shipping. When you move to Sting, our technicians handle the changeover and tell you exactly what can be reused and what gets upgraded during a free assessment.
Look for what Cox Homelife couldn't always deliver: real 24/7 professional monitoring through a monitoring center that dispatches police and fire, professional installation instead of a DIY kit you set up yourself, and a local team that actually answers the phone. It also helps to pick one company that handles both security and fire protection, so you're not juggling vendors. That's exactly where Sting fits, and switching is easier than most people expect.
We're not a national brand routing you through a call center in another time zone. We live here, we work here, and we've protected Las Vegas homes and businesses for over two decades.
Vegas families and businesses have rated us at the top of our industry. That kind of trust is earned one same-day service call at a time.
Sting delivers integrated home security and fire protection under one roof. One call, one team, one point of contact for everything that keeps your home safe.
Expert phone diagnostics, technicians who know your system because we built it, and a team that picks up when you need us. No apps yelling into the void.
Fair question, and here's the straight answer. Cox Homelife runs on a locked panel tied to their service, so that panel gets replaced when you switch. That's a good thing. You move off a system you never really owned and onto a professional-grade panel that's truly yours.
As for your sensors, it depends on what's installed. During your free assessment, one of our technicians reviews your existing devices and reuses what we can, so you're not paying to replace anything that still works. You end up with a professionally installed home security system built around your home and monitored around the clock through our monitoring center, not a box you set up alone and hope for the best.
When Cox leaves, you'll see two common suggestions. Here's how they really stack up.
Mail-order kits you install yourself, then pay a monthly fee to monitor. If something goes wrong, you're the tech support. For many homeowners that's a downgrade from the professionally installed system they had, not a fix.
Big names with big ad budgets and long wait times. When seconds matter, "we'll get someone out in a few days" is not an answer.
