Getting protected doesn't have to be complicated. We start with a free consultation where we assess your home and explain your options in plain English. No pressure, no confusing technical jargon.
If you already have an alarm system, we can often work with your existing equipment. We'll inspect what you have, upgrade what needs upgrading, and add cellular monitoring so your system works even if phone lines are cut.
For new installations, we handle everything from permits to programming. Our technicians show up on time, work efficiently, and clean up after themselves. Before we leave, we walk you through how everything works and make sure you're comfortable using your new system.
We offer three straightforward options because your security needs are unique to your situation and budget.
Our $17/month plan works with your existing alarm system, adding 24/7 professional monitoring and cellular communication. Perfect if you want reliable protection without replacing equipment that still works.
The $22/month plan adds smartphone control to your existing system. Arm and disarm from anywhere, get real-time alerts, and monitor your home remotely. Same reliable protection with modern convenience.
Our $27/month plan includes a complete modern system with touchscreen control, door sensors, motion detectors, and built-in camera. This is for homeowners who want the latest technology with sleek, contemporary design.
Yes, in most cases we can upgrade and modernize your current system instead of replacing everything. We'll inspect your existing equipment during our free consultation and determine what can be kept and what needs upgrading.
Our $17/month plan is specifically designed for homes with existing systems. We add cellular monitoring, professional oversight, and smartphone alerts while keeping your current sensors and control panel. This saves you money and reduces installation time.
Even older systems can usually be upgraded with modern features like app control and smart home integration. We've been doing this for 15 years, so we know how to work with virtually every type of alarm system installed in Greater Fifth Ward homes.
Our monitoring center receives your alarm signal within seconds of activation. Trained operators immediately assess the situation and contact you first, then dispatch appropriate emergency services if needed.
Response time depends on the type of emergency and current emergency services availability, but our monitoring center operates 24/7 with direct connections to local police, fire, and medical services. You'll also receive instant notifications on your smartphone the moment your alarm triggers.
Unlike some national companies that route calls through multiple centers, we work directly with Houston-area emergency services. This local connection often results in faster response times because dispatchers recognize our monitoring center and trust our alarm verification process.
No contracts required. You can cancel your monitoring service anytime without penalties or fees. We believe you should stay with us because you're happy with our service, not because you're trapped in a contract.
Most security companies lock you into 3-5 year agreements with hefty cancellation fees. We've never operated that way. If you're not satisfied with our monitoring or customer service, simply give us notice and you're done.
This approach has worked well for us over 15 years. When customers aren't forced to stay, they choose to stay. Our long-term customer relationships are built on trust and performance, not legal obligations.
Your security system continues working normally because we use cellular communication as the primary connection method. Internet outages, cut phone lines, or power failures won't stop your system from communicating with our monitoring center.
Our cellular communicators work on the same networks as your cell phone, providing reliable backup communication even when other services fail. This is especially important in Greater Fifth Ward, where severe weather can knock out internet and phone services.
The system also includes battery backup that keeps everything running for hours during power outages. Your protection never stops, regardless of what's happening with your utilities or internet service.
Installation costs depend on which plan you choose and your home's specific needs. Our $17/month plan includes a one-time $139 setup fee for system inspection and activation. The $22/month plan has the same setup cost since we're working with your existing equipment.
Our complete modern system (Plan 3) includes a $479 equipment package with professional installation. This covers the touchscreen panel, sensors, cellular communicator, and all labor. No hidden fees or surprise charges.
We provide upfront pricing during your free consultation, so you know exactly what everything costs before making any decisions. Many customers are surprised how affordable professional security can be, especially compared to dealing with the aftermath of a break-in.
Yes, our $22 and $27 monthly plans include full smartphone control through our mobile app. You can arm and disarm your system, check status, view camera feeds, and receive real-time alerts from anywhere.
The app shows you exactly what's happening at your home, including which doors or windows triggered an alarm. You can also control smart locks, lights, and other connected devices if you choose to add them later.
Even our basic $17 plan sends notifications to your phone when the system activates, though it doesn't include full remote control features. Most Greater Fifth Ward customers find the smartphone control worth the extra $5 per month for the convenience and peace of mind it provides.
