First, we'll assess what you already have. Many Houston homeowners discover their existing alarm system just needs activation and monitoring—no expensive replacement required.
If you need new equipment, we'll design a system that fits your home and budget. Installation happens on your schedule, often the same day you call. We'll walk you through everything, program your smartphone app, and test every sensor.
Once you're armed and monitored, our central station watches 24/7. When an alarm triggers, trained operators verify the threat and dispatch police or fire services immediately. You get real-time alerts, but you don't have to handle the emergency response yourself.
Plan 1 gets you professional monitoring for $17/month using your existing system. We add cellular communication, so it works without a landline, and route signals directly to our monitoring center.
Plan 2 adds smartphone control for $22/month. Arm and disarm from anywhere, get real-time alerts, and manage your system remotely while keeping your current equipment.
Plan 3 gives you a complete modern upgrade for $27/month after equipment installation. You get a 7-inch touchscreen hub, built-in camera, door sensors, motion detector, glass break sensor, and full mobile app control.
Every plan includes no contracts, local service, and the same professional monitoring that's protected Houston families for over a decade.
Most installations happen within 24-48 hours of your call, often the same day. If you have an existing alarm system, we can usually activate monitoring the day you contact us.
For new system installations, we'll schedule around your availability and complete most residential jobs in 2-4 hours. Our technicians arrive with everything needed, test every component, and make sure you're comfortable using your new system before leaving.
Emergency situations get priority scheduling. If you've had a break-in or security concern, we'll work with you to get protection in place as quickly as possible.
Yes, your system includes backup battery power that keeps everything running during outages. The backup typically lasts 12-24 hours depending on your system size and usage.
We also use cellular communication instead of landlines, so your system stays connected to our monitoring center even if phone lines are cut or damaged. This cellular backup is included in all our monitoring plans at no extra cost.
If you have a power outage lasting longer than expected, your system will send a low battery alert to both you and our monitoring center, so we can coordinate battery replacement if needed.
Absolutely. Many Houston homeowners already have alarm equipment that just needs proper monitoring and cellular communication added. This is often much more affordable than replacing everything.
We'll inspect your current system, test all components, and let you know what's working properly. If sensors or panels need updating, we'll give you honest recommendations without pushing unnecessary replacements.
Our $17/month plan is specifically designed for existing systems. We add the cellular communicator and monitoring service, often saving you thousands compared to companies that insist on full system replacement.
When your alarm triggers, our monitoring center receives the signal within seconds. Trained operators immediately begin verification procedures, which may include calling your home or checking cameras if you have them.
If we can't reach you or confirm it's a false alarm, we dispatch the appropriate emergency services—police for break-ins, fire department for smoke alarms, or medical services for panic buttons.
You receive instant notifications on your phone throughout this process, so you know what's happening even if you're not home. Our average emergency response coordination time is under 60 seconds from alarm to dispatch.
Our monitoring starts at $17/month for existing alarm systems, $22/month if you want smartphone app control, and $27/month for complete new systems with touchscreen control.
These prices include 24/7 professional monitoring, cellular communication, real-time alerts, and local customer service. There are no long-term contracts, activation fees, or hidden charges.
Equipment costs vary based on your home's needs, but many Houston families get started for under $200 total. We'll give you exact pricing after assessing your property, and we never pressure you into features you don't need.
Yes, our smartphone app lets you arm and disarm your system, check status, receive real-time alerts, and view camera feeds if you have them installed. The app works from anywhere with internet connection.
You can set up custom notifications for different family members, create temporary access codes for service providers, and even get alerts for non-security events like kids arriving home from school.
The app is included free with our $22 and $27 monthly plans. If you're on our basic $17 plan, you can add smartphone control anytime by upgrading to the next tier.
