What kind of Phonewatch system came with my house?

Grey123

I bought a house two years ago that came with Phonewatch.

From what I see I have a panel by the door, three sensors (cameras?) downstairs, a smoke alarm, two of the three entry doors have breakers? on them, a white box on top of the kitchen cupboards and a box on the outside of the house.

I don't have the alarm set code but do have fobs that were left behind.

Do I own this equipment? I don't pay anyone.

Can I use it as an alarm with just the fobs. Would Phonewatch give me the code?

Can I set it up with an app, not monitored by a call center.

Is this a decent set up? We want to get some sort of alarm in but don't know where to start.

Contact a local alarm company to call out and assess/advise based on what you have.

Will do. Will most companies offer more than one service?

Trying to do some research to know the right questions to ask and not be taken in by a sales pitch for what they offer?

I'm also open to the Google / Amazon camera stuff but some what skeptical.

Is there any home security for dummies guide?

If the system is in the house you could get them to enable the system to be monitored or else you would need to buy a new system.
