First, we come to your home for a free security assessment. We look at your current setup, discuss your concerns, and explain exactly what you need without pushing expensive extras you don't want.
If you already have an alarm system, we can often activate and modernize it for just $139. New touchscreen systems start with professional installation that takes about half a day. We test everything twice and walk you through how it all works.
Once your system is live, our monitoring center takes over. When an alarm triggers, we verify the threat and contact emergency services if needed. You get real-time alerts on your phone, and we handle the rest. No guessing, no delays, no problems.
Plan 1 costs $17 monthly and works with your existing alarm system. You get 24/7 cellular monitoring, no landline needed, and a one-time $139 setup. Perfect for homeowners who want reliable monitoring without starting over.
Plan 2 adds smartphone control for $22 monthly. Arm and disarm from anywhere, get real-time alerts, and keep using your current equipment. It's modern convenience without the modern headache.
Plan 3 gives you a complete new system for $27 monthly plus $479 for equipment. You get door sensors, motion detectors, a 7-inch touchscreen hub with built-in camera, glass break sensor, and mobile app control. River Oaks homeowners love this option because it's like having a security guard who never sleeps, never takes breaks, and never asks for a raise.
Absolutely. Most River Oaks homes already have some type of alarm system installed, and we can usually activate and modernize it instead of ripping everything out and starting over.
Our technicians assess your current wiring, sensors, and control panel during the free consultation. If your existing equipment is compatible, we add our cellular communicator and connect you to our monitoring center for just $139 setup plus $17 monthly monitoring.
This approach saves you thousands compared to full system replacement while giving you the same professional monitoring and smartphone alerts. You keep what works and upgrade what doesn't.
Our monitoring center receives your alarm signal instantly through cellular communication. We verify the alert and contact emergency services within seconds, not minutes.
River Oaks police response times are typically faster than surrounding areas due to the community's size and location. When we call them, they know it's a verified alarm from a monitored system, which gets priority response.
You also receive immediate notifications on your smartphone the moment any sensor triggers. This means you know what's happening at your home before the authorities even arrive, giving you complete situational awareness.
Your security system keeps working. We use cellular communication as the primary connection to our monitoring center, so internet outages don't affect your protection.
The main control panel has backup battery power that lasts 24 hours during power outages. Door and window sensors have their own batteries that last years, and motion detectors are designed to keep working even when the lights go out.
If your smartphone loses internet connection, you won't get real-time alerts, but our monitoring center still receives every signal and responds according to your emergency contact preferences. Your home stays protected regardless of what happens to your utilities.
No contracts required. You can cancel your monitoring service anytime without penalties, fees, or hassle.
Most security companies lock you into 3-5 year contracts because they know their service isn't good enough to keep customers voluntarily. We're confident in our monitoring quality and local support, so we let our service speak for itself.
This flexibility is especially valuable for River Oaks residents who might be relocating, renovating, or simply want the freedom to make changes without being trapped in a long-term agreement. You stay because you want to, not because you have to.
Installation costs depend on which plan you choose. If you have existing equipment we can use, setup is just $139 for our basic monitoring plan.
For new touchscreen systems, equipment costs $479 one-time, and we include professional installation at no extra charge. This covers mounting the control panel, installing sensors, connecting everything to our monitoring center, and training you on how to use it.
Most River Oaks installations take 3-4 hours. We clean up completely, test every component twice, and don't leave until you're comfortable with your new system. No hidden fees, no surprise charges, no problems.
We're local, family-owned, and we actually answer our phones. When you call, you talk to someone who knows your name, your system, and your neighborhood.
After 15 years serving River Oaks, we've learned that people want security that works without the corporate runaround. We don't use high-pressure sales tactics, we don't lock you into long contracts, and we don't disappear after installation.
Our technicians live in the area, our monitoring is handled by professionals who care about your safety, and our pricing is straightforward. We've won awards for customer service because we treat every home like it belongs to family. That's not marketing talk—that's just how we do business.
