SETEC MIGRATION INFORMATION

August 12, 2025

UCC Acquisition

Greetings [Insert Dealer Name]

We are pleased to announce that United Central Control (UCC) has contracted to take over the wholesale monitoring services for SETEC and SETEC dealers. We are extremely excited about welcoming SETEC and SETEC Dealers to the UCC family. We look forward to contributing to your success by delivering exceptional service and a stable foundation on which you can continue growing your business. In the short term, your account will remain at SETEC who will continue provide monitoring services as we prepare for the upgrade of your monitoring service to our state-of-the-art Stages Monitoring platform. Your customers will ultimately in the near future be monitored by our existing network of UL-listed, Five Diamond monitoring stations located in San Antonio and Lewisville, Texas. The migration process is already in process and is scheduled to conclude at the end of August. The preparation process involves meticulous planning and data verification so that the upgrade can be executed with minimal interruptions in service. Please rest assured that we will communicate with you during this process. We have included a point of contact in this notification so you can obtain the information you need and the peace of mind you deserve throughout this migration. While you will still enjoy the features and benefits you have become accustomed to at SETEC, the upgrade to UCC will bring many benefits to you and your customers. Here are some highlights:
  • Greater redundancy – Our monitoring centers provide you with geo-diverse, real-time, load-balanced monitoring.
  • Expanded Dealer Support & Data Entry Services – You will have the full power of our support staff to ensure you get the service you need.
  • Leading Dealer Access
    • You will have complimentary access to our Stages Web dealer portal, which is loaded with useful tools to help you run your business from anywhere, anytime.
    • You and your technicians will have complimentary access to our stages mobile app, which allows for your technicians to place accounts on/off test, check signals received and help streamline installation and service calls with an easy to use process at the tip of their fingers.
  • Our state-of-the-art Stages monitoring platform, Stages Web & Subscriber access, private-labeled answering service, IVR, QuickChat and SMS automated notifications and other “behind-the-scenes” critical infrastructure and technical enhancements open doors to new products, tools, and services to help you run your business and improve your bottom line. More information about these services will follow.

AT-A-GLANCE ANSWERS TO THE INFORMATION ABOVE & QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE:

Can you summarize what will happen?
  • Your monitoring services, along with SETEC monitoring will eventually be provided by UCC, on our state-of-the-art Stages platform from our redundant network of monitoring centers.
  • Your accounts will continue to be monitored by SETEC monitoring center for the next couple of weeks until they are migrated to UCC.
  • UCC has issued brand new dealer ID (or Dealer Number) for both our billing and stages systems. The dealer number will be provided to you after you attend a Stages Web training webinar, or you can request your new dealer number by emailing dealersupport@teamucc.com.
  • To avoid conflicts with pre-existing Receiver prefixes already in use at UCC, ALL receiver prefixes will be changing. ONLY the receiver prefix is changing, NOT the last 4+ account digits. Therefore, you will not have to reprogram accounts as a result of changing receiver numbers.
  • Rest assured, this will not affect the receiver phone numbers or IP addresses you use today
