Yes they can.

I will do a local system if I have time, my monitored clients have my full
attention though.

Some companies won't install local systems at all, you'd just have to find
one that will.

And, keep in mind you may pay a higher price, not punitively, but because
the installing company continues to make money on a monitored client whereas
on in a local system you may not see that client again for years...if at
all.

Do you intend to install this yourself, or try to find an installing
company that will install a "local" alarm system? You may have trouble if
the latter is true.

Why might one run into trouble if the latter is true? Couldn't alarm
companies simply charge for the parts, charge for the installation, and
offer some kind of limited warranty for parts & workmanship like
electricians, plumbers, HVAC, etc folks do? I can understand them
wanting the extra income associated with monitoring, but is there really
so much work out there that they tend to turn away the less lucrative
non monitored installs? Or is there some other issue involved?
