Cost depends on the size of your home, the number of entry points, and the equipment you choose, which is exactly why we don't quote a flat package price. After a free on-site consultation, we design a system around your specific home and give you a clear, itemized quote with no pressure. Most homeowners are surprised how much more capable a professionally designed system is for the price compared to an off-the-shelf kit.
A box kit gives you generic components you install and monitor yourself, with no one designing it around your home. A professional system is custom-designed for your property, installed and tested by licensed technicians, and backed by 24/7 monitoring and a local support team. The hardware is higher grade, the coverage is planned rather than guessed, and someone is actually responding when an alarm triggers.
Monitoring is what turns equipment into protection. Without it, an alarm only makes noise and hopes someone nearby acts on it. With 24/7 professional monitoring, a real response team verifies the alert and dispatches help even when you're asleep, traveling, or unable to check your phone. For most homeowners, it's the single most important part of the system.
Yes, and it's one of the best times to do it. Coordinating during construction lets us pre-wire for cameras, sensors, and panels cleanly, plan coverage around the final floor plan, and avoid retrofitting later. If your home is already built, we design and install around your existing layout with minimal disruption.
Most residential installations are completed in a single day, depending on the size of the home and the number of devices. Our licensed technicians handle the full setup, integrate every component, test the system end to end, and walk you through how everything works before they leave.
Professionally installed systems are built for exactly this. Cellular backup keeps your system connected and monitored if the internet drops, and battery backup keeps it running during a power outage, so your home stays protected when it matters most. This reliability is a key reason a professional system outperforms a basic kit
Yes. NTEX Security is locally based and serves homeowners throughout North Texas, including the Dallas area and surrounding communities. Because we're local, support, upgrades, and service calls come from a nearby team, not a national call center. You can see our full coverage on our Service Areas page.
