Fifteen services, one phone number

Security is a design problem before it is a hardware problem.

Anybody can sell you a box of sensors. The difference between a system that covers your building and a system that covers a building is a licensed technician standing in your driveway, looking at your actual fence line, before a price exists.

What follows is everything we do, grouped by what you are trying to protect. Each one is quoted after a free on-site survey, installed by our own W-2 technicians, monitored from a UL-listed redundant central station, and serviced at no charge for as long as you are with us. The agreement runs a simple twelve months renewed year to year — never a 36-to-60-month lock-in — and you own every piece of equipment we install from the day it goes on the wall.

For the house you actually live in

Home Security

Sensors, cameras and automation built around how your family comes and goes — not around a sales quota.

Home Security Systems

Most alarm companies sell one kit. Three door contacts, one motion, a keypad, a smile. It fits every house the way a rental tuxedo fits every groom — which is to say, technically.

Security Cameras & Video Surveillance

Everyone has seen the footage on the news. A shape. A hoodie. A vehicle that could be a sedan or could be a mid-size SUV. The reporter calls it "surveillance video." The detective calls it useless.

Doorbell Cameras

There is a particular species of frustration reserved for the homeowner who mounts a video doorbell himself, discovers the chime transformer is 8 volts, and spends the next three weekends learning more about low-voltage wiring than he ever wanted to know.

The house that reacts

Smart Home & Devices

Keypads, locks, garage doors and thermostats wired into the same system as the alarm — one app, one login, one company to call.

Smart Home Automation

There is a certain kind of smart home that requires its owner to become an unpaid systems administrator. Ours is not that. Ours is the kind where the house locks itself at eleven and you never think about it again.

Touchscreen Keypads & Panels

Nobody in your house will ever see the sensors, the cellular radio or the central station. They will see the keypad, twice a day, every day. If it is slow, confusing, or mounted in the wrong hallway, the whole system inherits its reputation.

Smart Door Locks & Lock Control

Every burglar in Texas knows about the flowerpot, the doormat and the fake rock. Your babysitter texts you at 3 p.m. because she is locked out. A smart deadbolt retires the whole genre of problem — if it is installed on a door that actually closes square, which in this climate is the real question.

Smart Garage Door Control

Somewhere on I-10, twenty minutes from the house, every Texan has asked the same question: did I close the garage? The honest answer is usually yes. The expensive answer is the one time it was no — because an open garage door is not a door, it is an invitation with your lawn equipment behind it.

Smart Thermostats

A San Antonio summer is a six-month siege, and the air conditioner is the most expensive appliance you own. A thermostat that guesses at your schedule is a gadget. One that is wired into the security system does not have to guess — the house tells it.

For the doors you unlock at six in the morning

Business Security

Access control, commercial video and life-safety systems for shops, warehouses, clinics and job sites across Texas.

Business Security Systems

A break-in at a house is a violation. A break-in at a business is a violation plus a deductible plus a day of lost revenue plus an insurance carrier asking pointed questions about your last inspection.

Access Control Systems

Somewhere in your city there is a business owner who has changed the locks three times in five years, each time at a cost of several hundred dollars, each time because one employee left on bad terms and nobody could account for every key ever cut.

Commercial Video Surveillance

Every business that has ever pulled footage after an incident has learned the same lesson in the same order: the camera was pointed slightly wrong, the retention was slightly too short, and the one angle you needed was the one nobody thought to cover.

The part nobody thinks about until it matters

Monitoring & Service

UL-listed central station response, panel takeovers, environmental sensors, and a technician who answers the phone.

24/7 Alarm Monitoring

You can buy a siren at a big-box store for ninety dollars. What you cannot buy there is a human being in a chair at 3:14 on a Tuesday morning whose only job, at that moment, is your house.

System Takeover & Reactivation

There is a keypad in your hallway with a blinking light nobody has understood since the previous owner moved out. Three companies have told you it needs to be replaced. All three sell replacements.

Smoke, CO & Water Monitoring

Homeowners buy alarm systems because of burglars. Homeowners file claims because of pipes. There is a lesson in that gap, and the insurance industry learned it a long time before the alarm industry started mentioning it.

Service & Maintenance

Ask anyone who has owned an alarm system for five years about their worst experience with it. They will not describe a burglary. They will describe a beeping keypad, a phone tree, and a ninety-dollar trip charge to arrive at a diagnosis they had already guessed.

Free survey · No obligation

Not sure which of those you need?

That is the normal condition, and it is exactly what the free survey is for. A technician walks the property, tells you what it actually needs, and tells you what it does not. The second list is usually longer.
