First, we'll inspect your current setup during a quick consultation. If you already have an alarm system, we can often activate and modernize it without replacing everything. If you need new equipment, we'll recommend the right components for your home and budget.
Installation happens on your schedule. Our technicians arrive with everything needed, set up your system properly, and test every component to make sure it works perfectly. You'll learn how to use everything before we leave.
Once active, your system connects to our monitoring center through cellular communication. No landline needed. When an alarm triggers, you get an immediate alert on your phone while our monitoring team contacts authorities if needed. It's protection that works even when you're away from home.
Our $17 monthly plan works with your existing alarm system. You get 24/7 professional monitoring, cellular communication, and local service support. No contracts, so you can cancel anytime. Perfect if your current equipment just needs professional monitoring.
The $22 plan adds smartphone control to everything in the basic plan. Arm and disarm from anywhere, get real-time alerts, and manage your system through our mobile app. Still no contracts, still uses your existing equipment.
For complete modernization, our $27 plan includes a brand-new touchscreen system with two door sensors, motion detector, glass break sensor, and built-in panel camera. The equipment package costs $479 upfront, but you get a sleek, modern system designed for today's homes. Given that Houston property crimes exceeded 23,000 incidents in recent years and Settegast's crime rate runs above national averages, having current technology makes a real difference in response times and deterrence.
Most existing alarm systems can be activated and modernized without full replacement. During the initial inspection, our technicians evaluate your current equipment to determine what can be reused and what might need updating.
If your system is functional but just needs monitoring, we can add cellular communication and connect it to our monitoring center for $17 monthly. If you want smartphone control added to your existing setup, that's available for $22 monthly.
Only homes wanting the latest touchscreen technology with built-in cameras and advanced features need the complete $479 equipment package. The choice depends on your current setup and what level of control and features you want.
When your alarm triggers, you receive an immediate alert on your smartphone while our monitoring center simultaneously gets the signal. Our trained operators assess the situation and contact you first to verify if it's a real emergency or false alarm.
If we can't reach you within our response protocol timeframe, or if you confirm it's a real emergency, we immediately contact local authorities with your address and alarm details. The cellular connection ensures the signal gets through even if phone lines are cut or internet is down.
You stay informed throughout the process with real-time updates on your phone. This system works whether you're across town or across the country, giving you the same level of protection and response no matter where you are.
No contracts required for any of our monitoring plans. You can cancel anytime without penalties or fees. This policy reflects our confidence that you'll want to keep the service because it works, not because you're locked into an agreement.
Monthly billing keeps things simple and flexible. If your situation changes or you're not satisfied with the service, you're free to make changes without contractual complications.
This approach is different from many national companies that require multi-year commitments. We believe good service should earn your business every month, not trap you into staying when you'd rather leave.
Our UL-listed monitoring center has an average response time of thirteen seconds from when your alarm signal is received. This means within seconds of your alarm triggering, trained operators are already assessing the situation and beginning response protocols.
The speed matters because every second counts during a real emergency. Our operators immediately attempt to contact you while simultaneously preparing to dispatch authorities if needed. This dual-track approach ensures the fastest possible response whether it's a false alarm or genuine emergency.
Compare this to systems that rely on you to call authorities yourself, or cheaper monitoring services with slower response times. When someone's breaking into your home, thirteen seconds versus several minutes can make the difference between catching an intruder and arriving after they're gone.
The mobile app lets you arm and disarm your system remotely, receive real-time alerts, and check system status from anywhere with cell service. You can see which sensors triggered an alarm, get notifications when family members arrive home, and control the system even when you're traveling.
The app connects through cellular communication, not your home internet, so it works even during power outages or if someone cuts your internet line. This redundancy ensures you stay connected to your security system regardless of what happens to other utilities.
You can also grant temporary access to family members or service providers through the app, set custom alert preferences, and view system history. The interface is designed to be simple enough for daily use but comprehensive enough to give you complete control over your home's security.
Local companies provide faster service response and understand your specific area's security challenges. When you need service or have questions, you reach someone who lives and works in your community, not a call center in another state.
We've protected over 700 Houston-area homes for fifteen years. We know Settegast's layout, understand local crime patterns, and have relationships with area law enforcement. This local knowledge translates to better system recommendations and more effective security planning.
You also get more flexible service options without the bureaucracy of large corporations. Need a service call? We can often respond same-day. Want to modify your system? Changes happen quickly without multiple approval layers. Plus, your monthly payments support local jobs and a local business that's invested in your community's safety.
