The company has a unique approach to the home security marketplace offering consumers the ability to obtain cutting edge technology, which includes a new Broadband Monitoring Service, allowing customers to have their GE security systems monitored through a direct connection into their high speed internet router. [ [http://biz.yahoo.com/iw/060315/0113309.html Protect America Unveils New Home Security Technology] ] This new technology is not available from ADT or Brinks and offers a solution for those consumers who do not want a land line phone but still want to have a monitored home security system. The down side of this however, is that it is easily disarmed by cutting the wire and if done within the first minute of entry, it will act like a false alarm and will not call dispatch. Another unique aspect for a national home security company is that Protect America offers home security monitoring service to both homeowners and renters throughout the United States. Most companies only offer security to homeowners. [ [http://www.herkimertelegram.com/articles/2006/08/23/ara/real_estate/536.txt|Home Security for Renters] ]

Protect America's main competitors includes the nation's two largest security companies, ADT and Brinks.
