First, we come to your home for a free consultation. No pressure, no sales pitch. We walk through your property, identify vulnerable points, and listen to your specific concerns about your family's safety.
Next, we design a custom system based on what we found. Whether you already have equipment that can be upgraded or need a completely new installation, we explain exactly what you're getting and why. No technical jargon, no hidden fees.
Installation happens on your schedule. Our certified technicians handle everything professionally and clean up afterward. We test every component, show you how everything works, and make sure you're completely comfortable with your new system before we leave.
Plan 1 works if you already have an alarm system installed. For $17 monthly, we activate your existing equipment with 24/7 professional monitoring, cellular communication, and no contracts. The one-time setup is $139.
Plan 2 adds smartphone control to your current system for $22 monthly. You can arm and disarm from anywhere, get real-time alerts, and still use your existing equipment. Perfect for families who want modern convenience without starting over.
Plan 3 gives you a complete modern system for $27 monthly plus a $479 equipment package. You get door sensors, motion detectors, a touchscreen hub with built-in camera, glass break sensor, and full mobile app control. This works best for families who want the latest technology and enhanced protection.
All plans include no contracts, local support, and the peace of mind that comes with professional monitoring by people who know Near Northside.
Most installations happen within a week of your consultation, often sooner if you need urgent protection. The actual installation takes 2-4 hours depending on your home's size and the plan you choose.
For Plan 1 customers with existing systems, we can often activate monitoring the same day we inspect your equipment. Plan 2 installations are similarly quick since we're working with your current setup. Plan 3 takes a bit longer because we're installing new equipment, but most homes are completed in a single visit.
We don't rush the job. Every sensor gets tested, every connection verified, and you get hands-on training before we consider the work complete.
When your alarm triggers, our monitoring center receives the signal immediately. A trained operator reviews what type of alert it is and follows your specific instructions for that situation.
For break-in alarms, we attempt to contact you first using your preferred method - usually your cell phone. If you don't answer within 45 seconds, we dispatch police to your address. For fire or medical emergencies, we call emergency services immediately while also trying to reach you.
You get real-time notifications on your phone showing exactly what triggered the alarm and what actions were taken. This way you always know what's happening at your home, even when you're not there.
Yes, in most cases we can upgrade and monitor existing alarm systems. Plan 1 is specifically designed for homeowners who want professional monitoring without replacing equipment that still works.
During the free consultation, we evaluate your current system's condition and capabilities. Many older systems just need a cellular communicator to work with modern monitoring services. Others might benefit from adding a few updated sensors or a new control panel.
If your existing equipment is too outdated or unreliable, we'll recommend specific upgrades rather than pushing you toward a complete replacement. The goal is getting you protected efficiently, not selling you things you don't need.
Professional monitoring starts at $17 per month with no contracts required. This includes 24/7 monitoring, cellular communication, and local support. The one-time setup fee is $139 if you're using existing equipment.
Plan 2 costs $22 monthly and adds smartphone control to your existing system. Plan 3 runs $27 monthly plus a $479 equipment package for a complete modern system. All prices are flat rates with no hidden fees or surprise charges.
Compared to many national companies that require long contracts and charge extra for features like cellular backup, our pricing is straightforward. You know exactly what you're paying and can cancel anytime if you're not satisfied.
The biggest difference is local accountability. When you call, you talk to someone who lives and works in Houston, understands Near Northside specifically, and can be at your home quickly if there's a problem.
We've been protecting Houston families for over 15 years, so we know which security approaches work best in this climate and neighborhood layout. Our technicians are familiar with local building styles, common entry points, and the specific challenges Houston homeowners face.
You also get flexibility that big companies can't match. No long-term contracts, customized systems based on your actual needs, and pricing that makes sense for real families. When something needs service, you're dealing with the same local team that installed your system.
Yes, we install security cameras as part of comprehensive security systems or as standalone solutions. Our camera options include indoor and outdoor models, night vision capabilities, and smartphone viewing.
Many Near Northside families combine cameras with their alarm systems for complete property coverage. You can monitor your front door, backyard, or any vulnerable areas remotely. The cameras integrate with your security system so everything works together seamlessly.
Installation includes proper positioning for optimal coverage, weatherproofing for outdoor cameras, and training on how to access your video feeds. We handle all the technical setup so you just need to download the app and start monitoring your property.
