Your existing equipment can often be upgraded and improved instead of completely replaced. That means faster setup, lower costs, and a system that makes sense for how you actually live.
When something needs attention, you're talking to people who know your setup and your neighborhood - not a call center on the other side of the country handling thousands of accounts.

First, we evaluate what you already have. Most homes in West University Place can use their existing door and window sensors, which saves time and money. We'll tell you exactly what can stay and what needs upgrading.
Next comes the installation and setup. Our technicians handle everything - mounting equipment, programming systems, testing every sensor, and showing you how everything works. No boxes shipped to your door with confusing instructions.
Finally, your system connects to our 24/7 monitoring center through cellular service. No landline required, no internet dependency. When something triggers your alarm, trained professionals know exactly what to do and who to contact.
Plan 1 costs $17 monthly and works with your existing alarm system - just adds professional monitoring and cellular communication. Perfect for homes that already have sensors and keypads but need reliable monitoring.
Plan 2 adds smartphone control to your existing equipment for $22 monthly. You can arm and disarm from anywhere, get real-time alerts, and stay connected to your home's security status.
Plan 3 provides a complete modern system with touchscreen keypad, built-in camera, door sensors, motion detector, and glass break protection for $27 monthly. The equipment package costs $479 upfront, but you get everything needed for comprehensive protection.
All plans include no-contract monitoring, which means you can cancel anytime if the service doesn't meet expectations.
Yes, most existing systems can be upgraded and modernized without complete replacement. We evaluate your current door sensors, window contacts, and keypads to determine what can be reused.
The evaluation includes testing all existing components, checking wiring integrity, and assessing whether your current keypad can be upgraded to a modern touchscreen version. This approach typically saves money and reduces installation time.
Many West University Place homes have quality sensors that just need better monitoring and cellular communication. Rather than ripping everything out, we build on what's already working and improve what isn't.
You can cancel anytime without penalties or fees. We don't require monitoring contracts because we believe good service should keep customers, not legal agreements.
This no-contract approach means you're free to evaluate other options if your needs change or if you're not satisfied with the service. Most customers stay because the local support and reliable monitoring meet their expectations.
The equipment you purchase remains yours regardless of monitoring status. If you cancel monitoring, you still own all the hardware and can use it with another service provider if desired.
Most installations are completed within one to two weeks of your initial consultation, depending on the complexity of your setup and current schedule demand.
Simple upgrades to existing systems often happen faster since less new wiring is required. Complete new installations take longer but are still typically finished in a single visit lasting two to four hours.
We schedule installations at times that work for your schedule, including evenings and weekends when necessary. The technician will test every component before leaving and show you how to operate everything properly.
We service all of West University Place and surrounding Houston area neighborhoods. Our local presence means faster response times for service calls and installations.
Being based in the Houston area allows us to understand local crime patterns, weather challenges, and the specific security needs of different neighborhoods. We know which areas experience more property crime and can recommend appropriate protection levels.
Service calls and maintenance visits are handled by the same local team that performed your original installation. This continuity means we're familiar with your specific setup and can troubleshoot issues more efficiently.
Yes, all systems include battery backup power and cellular communication that doesn't depend on your home's internet connection or landline service.
The cellular communicator connects directly to our monitoring center through cell towers, which typically remain operational during local internet outages. Battery backup provides several hours of continued protection during power failures.
This redundancy is particularly important in the Houston area where severe weather can disrupt power and internet services. Your security system continues protecting your home even when other services are down.
We own and operate our monitoring services locally rather than selling your account to a third-party call center. This means faster response times and operators who understand your area.
National companies often route monitoring through distant call centers handling thousands of accounts from multiple companies. Local monitoring means the people responding to your alarms know West University Place and can provide better assistance to emergency responders.
Customer service issues are resolved directly with people who installed your system and monitor your home. No transfers between departments or explaining your situation to multiple representatives who don't know your setup.
