You know that feeling when you're lying in bed, wondering if you locked the front door. Or when you're at work, thinking about whether your house is safe. That constant worry ends when you have real protection.
Research shows 60% of burglars look for security systems before attempting a break-in, and most choose a different target when they see one. Your system doesn't just catch criminals after the fact. It stops them from even trying.
When your security system is professionally installed and monitored, you get immediate alerts on your phone if anything happens. Since most burglaries in Harris County happen between 10am and 3pm when people are at work, you'll know within seconds if someone's at your house who shouldn't be there.
Choose the security solution that fits your needs. All plans include 24/7 professional monitoring and local Houston-area support.

First, we come to your home for a free consultation. No high-pressure sales pitch. We look at your property, talk about your concerns, and explain exactly what would work best for your situation and budget.
Next, our licensed technicians install your system professionally. Whether you have existing equipment we can upgrade or need a complete new system, we handle everything. Door sensors, motion detectors, cameras, smart controls – all connected and tested before we leave.
Finally, your system connects to our 24/7 monitoring center. Since most crimes happen during daytime hours when you're away, professional monitoring means someone's always watching. If your alarm triggers, we verify the emergency and dispatch help immediately. You get alerts on your phone, but you don't have to handle the crisis alone.
Our Plan 1 works with your existing alarm system for just $17 monthly. We add cellular monitoring so your system works even if phone lines are cut. No contracts, cancel anytime, and includes a one-time $139 system inspection and setup.
Plan 2 adds smartphone control for $22 monthly. Arm and disarm from anywhere, get real-time alerts, and monitor your home remotely. Perfect if you want modern convenience without replacing everything you already have.
Since Eastex-Jensen sits less than 15 miles from both downtown Houston and Bush Intercontinental Airport, many residents commute long distances for work. Our Plan 3 includes a complete modern system with touchscreen control, built-in camera, door sensors, motion detector, and glass break sensor for $27 monthly plus a one-time $479 equipment package. You control everything from your phone, whether you're downtown or traveling.
Yes, based on research from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte that interviewed over 400 convicted burglars. 60% said they would look for an alarm system before attempting a break-in, and most would choose a different target if they found one.
Homes without security systems are 300% more likely to be burglarized than protected homes. The visible deterrent effect works because criminals want easy targets, not complications. When they see security cameras, alarm signs, or system components, most move on to find an unprotected house instead.
Your system works even when you're not home to respond. Most Harris County burglaries happen between 10am and 3pm when people are at work, but professional monitoring means someone's always watching and ready to dispatch help.
Absolutely. Many homeowners in Eastex-Jensen have older alarm systems that still have good bones but need modern upgrades. Our Plan 1 is specifically designed for this situation.
We inspect your existing equipment, replace any faulty components, and add cellular monitoring so your system doesn't depend on landlines. We can often integrate smart controls and mobile app access with your current setup. This saves you hundreds compared to complete replacement while giving you modern features.
If your existing system is too outdated or unreliable, we'll be honest about that too. But most systems installed in the last 10-15 years can be upgraded effectively. The inspection is free, so you'll know exactly what's possible before spending any money.
Within seconds, our monitoring center receives the signal and begins verification. If it's a burglary alarm, we first try calling you using the phone numbers you've provided. If we can't reach you or you confirm it's a real emergency, we immediately dispatch police.
For fire alarms, we call the fire department first, then contact you. Medical alerts go straight to emergency services with your address and any special medical information you've provided. You get text alerts on your phone for every event, so you always know what's happening.
Local civic leaders work closely with law enforcement to keep neighborhoods safe, and having a monitored system means police respond faster because they know it's a verified emergency, not a false alarm. Response time can mean the difference between stopping a break-in and losing your valuables.
Our monitoring starts at $17 monthly for existing systems, $22 for smartphone control, or $27 for complete new systems. No long-term contracts required – you can cancel anytime if you're not satisfied.
Compare that to the average burglary loss in Houston. A single break-in can result in $2,500 worth of stolen goods or property damage. Your annual monitoring cost is less than one month's potential loss from a burglary. Many insurance companies also offer discounts for monitored systems that can offset part of the monthly fee.
The real value isn't just the money saved. It's sleeping peacefully knowing someone's watching over your family 24/7, getting immediate alerts if something's wrong, and having professional help dispatched automatically in emergencies.
No contracts required with any of our plans. Month-to-month monitoring means you're not locked into years of payments if your situation changes. Many national companies require 3-5 year contracts, but we believe good service should keep customers, not contracts.
This flexibility matters especially for Eastex-Jensen residents. Home values in the area have increased 15% recently with homes selling in 44 days on average, so people move more frequently. You shouldn't be stuck with monitoring fees for a house you no longer own.
If you move within our service area, we can often relocate your system or help set up monitoring at your new address. If you move outside Houston, you can cancel without penalties or fees. Simple, fair, and focused on what actually works for homeowners.
Most installations happen within 1-2 days of your consultation, depending on your schedule and system complexity. For existing system upgrades, we can often complete everything in a single visit. New system installations typically take 3-4 hours.
Same-day service is available for urgent situations. If you've had a break-in attempt or feel unsafe, we prioritize emergency installations. Reviews consistently mention same-day and next-day appointments because we understand that security concerns can't wait weeks for scheduling.
We handle all the technical details: programming, testing, connecting to monitoring, and teaching you how everything works. You don't need to be home all day – most installations happen in one focused appointment. Then you're protected that same evening with full 24/7 monitoring active immediately.
