You're not looking for another sales pitch. You want to know that if something happens at 2 a.m., someone's going to catch it and respond before it becomes a bigger problem.
That's what 24/7 security monitoring actually does. Motion at your back door gets flagged. Glass breaks in the middle of the night. Someone's trying your front door handle while you're on vacation. Your system catches it, our monitoring team sees it, and help gets dispatched—all while you're getting the alert on your phone.
It's not about the equipment sitting there looking intimidating. It's about having a trained person on the other end who knows your address, recognizes your system, and takes action the second something looks wrong. That's the difference between having cameras and actually being protected.
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 Crosby, TX and throughout Harris County since 2008. Over 700 local families and businesses trust us to keep their properties secure—not because we're the biggest, but because we're the ones who show up when they call.

First, we come out and walk your property with you. We're looking at entry points, blind spots, and what matters most to you—whether that's package theft, break-ins, or just knowing when your kids get home from school. This isn't a cookie-cutter assessment. Every home is different.
Once we map out what you need, we give you options. Cameras, motion sensors, smart locks, video doorbells—whatever makes sense for your situation and your budget. No upselling. No three-year contracts with hidden fees. You'll know exactly what you're getting and what it costs before we touch a screwdriver.
Installation usually happens the same day or within 24 hours. Most residential jobs take two to four hours. We set everything up, connect it to our monitoring center, walk you through the app, and make sure you're comfortable using it. Then we test it with you standing right there.
After that, our monitoring team has your system live. If your alarm goes off, they see it instantly and follow your protocol—whether that's calling you first, dispatching police, or contacting a neighbor. You're in control, but you're never alone in an emergency.
Your home security system includes 24/7 professional monitoring by a team that knows your property details and emergency contacts. When your alarm triggers, a real person reviews what's happening and takes action based on what you've told us to do.
You get smartphone access to arm, disarm, and check your system from anywhere. See live camera feeds, get instant alerts when doors open, and control smart locks remotely. If you're traveling or at work, you're still connected to what's happening at home.
We install motion detectors, door and window sensors, glass break detectors, video doorbells, and outdoor cameras depending on what your property needs. Everything integrates with your existing smart home devices if you have them. If you don't, we keep it simple so you're not fumbling with complicated tech.
Crosby homeowners face a 1 in 83 chance of property crime, and package theft has become a daily concern for families in this area. Our systems are designed to catch those problems early—before someone's walking off with your deliveries or testing whether you're home. We also offer verified video monitoring, which many local police departments now prioritize for faster response times.
Our monitoring starts at $17 per month if you already have compatible equipment. If you're starting from scratch, most homeowners pay between $30 and $50 monthly depending on how many cameras, sensors, and smart devices they want included.
There are no contracts. You're not locked in for three or five years like you would be with the big national companies. If you're unhappy or your situation changes, you can cancel without penalties or buyout fees.
Equipment costs vary based on your property size and what you're protecting, but we give you a flat quote upfront. No surprise charges six months later. Most families spend between $500 and $1,500 on equipment for a full system, and we offer financing if that helps.
We can monitor most existing systems as long as they're compatible with our monitoring platform. If you've got an old ADT, Vivint, or Brinks system sitting there, we can often take it over and save you thousands compared to companies that force you to rip everything out and start over.
We'll come evaluate what you have and tell you honestly whether it makes sense to keep it or upgrade. Some older systems are worth keeping. Others are outdated enough that you're better off replacing them with smarter technology that gives you mobile access and better detection.
If we can work with what you've got, we will. If it's going to cause you problems down the road, we'll explain why and give you options that fit your budget.
When your alarm triggers, our monitoring center gets the signal immediately. A live person reviews what's happening and follows the protocol you've set up with us during installation.
Most customers want us to call them first to verify whether it's a real emergency or a false alarm. If we can't reach you, or if you confirm there's a problem, we dispatch police or fire depending on the situation. We also contact your backup emergency contacts if needed.
More cities in the Houston area now require verified alarms before sending police, which means video confirmation or an eyewitness report. If you have cameras as part of your system, we can verify the threat visually and get you priority response. That's becoming the standard, and it's why we recommend including at least one camera with every system we install.
Most residential installations happen the same day you call, or within 24 hours if we're booked. We keep our schedule flexible because we know that when you're ready to secure your home, waiting two weeks doesn't make sense.
A typical home takes two to four hours to fully install and test. That includes mounting cameras, placing sensors, setting up your control panel, connecting everything to monitoring, and walking you through how to use the app and arm your system.
If you've got a larger property or want extensive camera coverage, it might take a bit longer. We'll give you an accurate time estimate when we assess your home. We don't rush the job just to move on to the next one—we make sure everything works right before we leave.
Cameras alone are useful for checking on deliveries or seeing who rang your doorbell. But if someone breaks in while you're asleep, on vacation, or just not looking at your phone, those cameras aren't doing anything except recording footage you'll watch later.
Professional monitoring means someone's always watching when you're not. If your system detects motion, forced entry, or glass breaking at 3 a.m., our team sees it and responds whether you're awake or not. That's the difference between catching a problem while it's happening versus reviewing what happened after the damage is done.
Statistically, homes without security systems are 300% more likely to be broken into. Monitored systems stop problems faster because criminals know someone's going to respond. It's not just about recording evidence—it's about preventing the loss in the first place.
We're local, which means when you call, you talk to someone who knows your name and remembers your system. You're not getting transferred to a call center in another state where they're reading a script and have no idea what Crosby's neighborhoods look like.
We don't lock you into multi-year contracts with cancellation fees. The big companies build those costs into the monthly rate and make it painful to leave. We'd rather earn your business every month by doing good work than trap you legally.
We also respond faster. If you've got a technical issue or need someone to come adjust a camera, we're usually there within a few hours—not next Tuesday between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. We've been protecting homes in Harris County for over 15 years, and our reputation depends on being available when our customers need us.
