You're not just getting an alarm that beeps. You're getting trained operators who verify every alert, contact you immediately, and dispatch police or fire services when there's a real threat. That's the difference between a system that scares intruders away and one that actually stops them.
Most break-ins happen during the day when you're at work or running errands. Your system detects the entry, sends an alert to our monitoring center, and we're calling you within seconds to verify. If you don't answer or confirm it's a false alarm, we're already contacting authorities with your address and the nature of the emergency.
You also get remote access through your phone. Check your cameras while you're on vacation. Lock a door you forgot about. Get an alert when your kids get home from school. That's not just convenience—it's control over what matters most to you.
Choose the security solution that fits your needs. All plans include 24/7 professional monitoring and local Houston-area support.
We've been installing and monitoring home security systems in Brookside Village and across Harris County since 2008. Over 700 homes and businesses trust us because we show up when we say we will, we answer our phones, and we remember your name when you call.
We're licensed, insured, and locally owned. We've earned the Angie's List Super Service Award and Best of Home Advisor recognition because our customers actually recommend us. That doesn't happen by accident.
When Houston recorded over 126,000 crimes in 2024 and property crime risk hit 1 in 22, families here started looking for real protection. Not a big national company with a call center overseas. Someone local who understands that Brookside Village isn't downtown Houston, and your security needs reflect that.
From smart home security to 24/7 professional monitoring — discover the full range of solutions we offer to protect what matters most.

We start with a free consultation at your home. You show us your property, tell us what you're worried about, and we design a system that makes sense for your layout and budget. No pressure, no upselling equipment you don't need.
Installation usually happens within 24 to 48 hours, sometimes same-day if you need it fast. We mount sensors on doors and windows, place motion detectors in key areas, set up cameras where they'll actually capture useful footage, and connect everything to your smartphone. Most installations take two to four hours depending on the size of your home.
Once you're live, our monitoring center watches your system around the clock. If a sensor trips, we get the alert instantly. We call you first to verify. If it's real or we can't reach you, we dispatch the right emergency service. Police for break-ins. Fire department for smoke or carbon monoxide. Medical for panic button alerts.
You're never locked into a long-term contract. If our service isn't what we promised, you're free to leave. That's how confident we are that you'll stay.
Every system includes door and window sensors, at least one motion detector, a control panel with backup battery power, and cellular connection so it works even if your internet goes down. You also get the mobile app for remote control and real-time alerts.
Most customers add video doorbells, indoor or outdoor cameras, smart locks, and environmental sensors for water leaks, freezing temps, or carbon monoxide. These aren't required, but they turn a solid security system into a complete smart home setup that saves you money and stress.
Monitoring costs depend on your equipment and features, but most Brookside Village homes pay between $30 and $50 per month. If you already have an existing system from another company, we can often take it over and activate monitoring for as low as $17 per month. That's a fraction of what you'd pay to rip everything out and start over.
Your system also qualifies you for homeowners insurance discounts. Most carriers in Texas reduce your premium by 5% to 20% when you have professionally monitored security. That alone can offset half your monthly monitoring cost.
Our monitoring center receives your alarm signal in under five seconds. A live operator reviews the alert, checks which sensor triggered, and calls you or your emergency contact immediately—usually within 15 to 30 seconds of the alarm.
If you confirm it's a false alarm, we log it and you're done. If you don't answer, can't provide your passcode, or confirm it's real, we're already contacting police or fire dispatch with your address and details. Response time from authorities depends on their availability, but they're notified within two minutes of your alarm.
That speed matters. Most burglars spend less than ten minutes inside a home. The faster we verify and dispatch, the better chance law enforcement has to catch them or scare them off before they take anything valuable.
Your system has a backup battery that keeps it running for 12 to 24 hours during a power outage. You'll get a notification on your phone when it switches to battery power, and another one when power is restored.
For internet outages, your system uses a cellular connection as backup. It's built into the panel and doesn't rely on your WiFi or router. That means even if someone cuts your cable line or your internet provider has an outage, your alarm still communicates with our monitoring center.
This is critical in the Houston area where storms and outages are common. You don't lose protection just because the lights go out. Your system keeps working, and we keep monitoring.
We can activate monitoring on most existing systems, especially if they're less than ten years old and use standard wireless sensors. We'll inspect your current equipment, test the panel and sensors, and let you know if it's compatible.
If your system works but needs a new cellular communicator to connect to our monitoring center, that's usually a simple upgrade. We swap the old module, reprogram the panel, and you're live. Total cost is typically a few hundred dollars instead of a full replacement.
If your equipment is outdated or incompatible, we'll recommend a new system. But we're honest about it. If what you have works and just needs monitoring, we'll tell you that too. No reason to spend money you don't need to spend.
No. We don't require contracts because we'd rather earn your business every month than trap you into one. If you're not happy with our service, you can cancel anytime without penalties or fees.
Most national alarm companies lock you into three- to five-year agreements with hefty cancellation fees if you leave early. That's not how we operate. We've been doing this for over 15 years in Brookside Village and Harris County, and our reputation depends on people staying because they want to, not because they're stuck.
You pay for monitoring month to month. If you financed equipment through us, you're responsible for that payment plan, but the monitoring itself has no long-term commitment. Simple as that.
Yes. Our systems integrate with Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, smart locks, smart thermostats, and most major smart home platforms. You control everything through one app instead of juggling five different ones.
You can create automation rules like "lock the doors and arm the system when I say 'goodnight'" or "turn on the lights if motion is detected after 10 p.m." It's all customizable based on how you actually use your home.
If you already have smart devices installed, we'll connect them during setup. If you want to add them later, the app walks you through pairing. And if you get stuck, you call us and we'll help you. That's part of the service.
We cover all of Brookside Village, Pearland, Friendswood, Manvel, and the greater Houston area throughout Harris County and surrounding counties. If you're within a reasonable distance of Brookside Village, we'll come to you.
Our techs live and work in the area, so we're familiar with the neighborhoods, the crime patterns, and the types of homes we're securing. We're not driving in from two hours away. We're local, and that means faster response for service calls and installations.
If you're unsure whether we cover your specific address, just call us. We'll let you know right away, and if we don't service your area, we'll recommend someone who does. No runaround.
