Every property is different. A house on a corner lot and a warehouse off Expressway 83 do not need the same system — so we do not sell the same system.

Cellular and battery backup, cameras that know a person from a passing car, and video you can pull up in seconds — not a system that quietly stopped recording three months ago.
Cameras that tell a person from a vehicle from a stray dog, so the alerts you get are the ones worth reading.
Clips saved off-site and on a card in the camera, so cutting the internet does not cut the recording.
Cameras, door locks, lights and the alarm in a single app — not four logins and three remotes in a drawer.
No packages off a shelf, no thirty-six month surprise, and a phone number that reaches the people who did the work.
A technician walks the lot, finds the ways in, and designs around them. The quote comes after that, not before.
Detection at the fence and the driveway, so you hear about it while it is still outside the building.
Cameras, locks, lights, garage and the alarm in one place — on your phone, wherever you happen to be.
Video goes to the cloud and to a card inside the camera, so one failure does not take the footage with it.
Optional monitoring means somebody is looking at the alarm at three in the morning, whether or not you are.
Analytics that ignore the wind, the rain and the neighbour's cat, so you stop muting the notifications.
Start with the front and the back door. Add the yard, the second building or the second location later without starting over.
Battery and cellular backup for when the power or the internet goes, and equipment rated for the heat it will actually sit in.
Your video belongs to you. We do not sell it and we do not hand it to anyone without a reason you have agreed to.
The people who installed it are the people who answer the phone. No ticket queue three states away.
Tell us what you want covered. We will walk the property with you, show you where the gaps are, and put a number on it — no charge, and no pressure to sign anything on the spot.

Take a smarter approach to home and business security. We design, install and service security cameras, alarms and access control for homes, shops, offices, warehouses and yards across the Rio Grande Valley.
We believe one integrated system beats a drawer full of apps. Cameras, sensors, door locks, lights and the alarm work together and answer to one app on your phone, so you can see what is happening and act on it from wherever you are.
Whether you are protecting a family home, a storefront on a busy street or a fenced yard full of equipment, the system is laid out for that property after somebody has walked it, not picked off a shelf.
South Texas Security Systems is Curtis's company. Every property gets walked before it gets a quote, so what you are sold is what your building actually needs. Call and you are talking to the people who do the work.
Straight answers to the things most people want to know before anybody comes out to look at the property.
It depends on the property, which is why there is no price list on this page. Two cameras on a small house and forty on a warehouse yard are different jobs. We walk the property first, then put a written number on exactly what you asked for.
No. Monitoring is optional. Without it, the alerts and the video come to your phone and you decide what to do. With it, somebody watches the alarm when you cannot. Ask for both options side by side, in writing, before you choose.
A system designed for it keeps working. Battery backup keeps the alarm running, a cellular connection keeps it reporting, and cameras that also record to a card inside the camera keep the footage even when the internet drops. Ask any installer which of those your system will actually have.
Yes. Live video, recorded clips, the alarm, door locks and lights sit in one app, so you can check the front door or unlock it for somebody from wherever you are.
Sometimes. It depends on the make, the age and how it is wired. We will tell you on the walk-through what can stay and what cannot, and why, before anything is quoted.
Yes. Homes, shops, offices, warehouses and yards. Commercial sites usually add access control and perimeter cameras, and a larger site can be covered in stages rather than all at once.
You, and the people you give access to. The footage belongs to you. We do not sell it, and we do not hand it to anyone without a reason you have agreed to.
Ask for the licence number and look it up. Alarm and camera companies in Texas are licensed by the Department of Public Safety under Occupations Code Chapter 1702. A company that will not give you its number is telling you something.
