Who installs commercial security systems in Austin?
We do. Austin is where Alamo began — we installed our first systems here before headquartering in San Antonio. The dedicated Austin team you meet today is the continuation of where this company started.
Alamo Smart Home is Orenda Securities LLC, Texas license #B05229001, founded in 2017 and rated 4.9 on Google across more than 1,300 reviews. We design, install, monitor and service commercial security systems across the Austin metro and the Hill Country.
Salaried technicians, not subcontractors
The person who installs your system is an Alamo employee on our payroll. Most alarm companies you’ll call in Austin are dealers for an out-of-state brand, and the truck that shows up belongs to whichever subcontractor was free that week. Ours doesn’t. Monitoring runs 24/7 out of San Antonio, staffed by real people who call you when something trips.
What we install
- Commercial alarm systems with 24/7 monitoring, cellular backup and remote arming
- Cameras with analytics — search footage by face, vehicle or license plate
- Active deterrence cameras that light up and talk before anything is broken
- Access control for doors, gates and multi-site operations
- Commercial audio, video walls and on-site networking
It runs on one platform built on Alarm.com. In San Antonio, the same team runs our commercial security page.
How much does a commercial security system cost in Austin?
Commercial monitoring is $44.99/mo, and it comes with a touchscreen alarm panel, basic sensors, installation and the remote app included. Cameras, access control and anything beyond the basics are designed and quoted per site after a free walkthrough — a 2,200-square-foot office off Burnet Road and a warehouse in Pflugerville with four dock doors are not the same job — and the number we give you is the number you pay.
Here’s what moves the price on a commercial job.
- Openings and coverage. How many doors, how many camera views, how much yard or lot you want watched.
- New build or retrofit. Open walls are cheaper than fishing wire through an occupied suite.
- What’s already there. We reuse existing cameras, wiring and door hardware wherever it makes sense.
- Analytics and recording. License plate reading, face and vehicle search, and days of cloud video kept.
- Access control. Credential type, and how many openings you’re controlling.
What the free walkthrough covers
A security analyst walks the property and asks how the business actually runs — who opens, who closes, where the cash is, where people prop doors — then puts a written design and a fixed price in front of you. No commissioned sales reps. No pressure.
On contracts
A contract is never required. National brands typically charge $45–$90 a month on 36–60 month agreements. You own your equipment outright — nothing to hand back, nothing to rent forever.
What kind of Austin businesses do you protect?
A restaurant on Rainey Street and a self-storage yard in Georgetown have almost nothing in common except that both get hit after hours. We design around how the place is used.
Offices and professional space
Analytics cameras inside, varifocal cameras on the lot, and door access you manage from your phone.
Warehouses, distribution and yards
Cameras on inventory and exits, active deterrent cameras that light up and speak to after-hours intruders, and keyless entry by app or biometrics.
Retail and restaurants
Shoplifting coverage, varifocal cameras over the POS, people counting to staff the floor properly, and audio and TV control from one interface.
Multifamily, communities and storage
License plate cameras at the gate, smart gate access instead of fobs, and live video monitoring that covers more ground than an overnight patrol.
Schools, churches and hotels
Entry and exit cameras, lockdown you can trigger locally or remotely, and coverage of front desks, lobbies and lots — the same approach as our San Antonio camera systems.
What makes a local commercial alarm company worth switching to?
Most companies ranking for this search in Austin are national brands with a downtown mailing address, or regional shops running Austin jobs from another city.
One number, one team
Call (210) 625-6575 and a person picks up. No dealer network, no out-of-state dispatch. Same-day service on most calls.
You own it
The panel, cameras, readers and sensors are yours. If you move or sell, the equipment goes with you.
One app for the whole site
Arm and disarm, pull live video, unlock a door for a delivery, check who badged in at 6:40am. Multi-location operators run every site from one dashboard.
The Austin alarm permit
The City of Austin requires a permit for every monitored alarm system, approved before the alarm is switched on. We handle the registration.

Who installs commercial security systems in Austin?
Alamo Smart Home does, across the Austin metro. We’re Texas-owned, licensed under #B05229001, and Austin is where the company started before we headquartered in San Antonio. Our technicians are salaried Alamo employees, and monitoring runs 24/7 from Texas. Call (210) 625-6575 and a real person answers.
How much does a commercial security system cost in Austin?
Commercial monitoring is $44.99 a month, and that includes a touchscreen alarm panel, basic sensors, installation and the remote app. Cameras, access control and larger sites are designed and quoted after a free walkthrough. Cost depends on the number of doors and camera views, new construction versus retrofit, what equipment we can reuse, and how much analytics and cloud recording you want. The written quote is fixed before work starts.
Do I have to sign a contract for a business security system?
No. A contract is never required with Alamo. We’ll write one if you want to lock in your rate, but it’s optional. National brands typically charge $45–$90 a month on 36–60 month agreements. You own your equipment outright, so there’s nothing to hand back if you leave.
Can you use the cameras and alarm equipment we already have?
Wherever it makes sense, yes. Existing cameras, wiring and door hardware can often stay while we replace the panel, controller or recorder that’s actually holding you back. Reusing what’s installed is one reason we walk your building before quoting. If a piece is too old to be reliable, we’ll tell you why.
Does my Austin business need an alarm permit?
Yes. The City of Austin requires a permit for every monitored alarm system, and the application has to be approved before the alarm is turned on. We handle the registration as part of your install so you’re compliant from day one. Outside city limits, we’ll confirm which jurisdiction applies.
Can I manage more than one location from one account?
Yes. Multi-site businesses run every location from one dashboard, with separate permissions per site. See which stores are armed, pull video from any of them, and give a regional manager access to three locations without handing over the whole account. We cover both the Austin and San Antonio metros.
Who monitors the alarm and who responds when it goes off?
Your system is monitored 24/7 from Texas — not out of state and not overseas. When an alarm trips, a real person responds and calls you, and two-way verification helps get a faster police response by confirming there’s an actual event. No robocall, no offshore call center.
Do you also do access control and cameras, or just alarms?
All of it, on one platform. Alarm, cameras with analytics, access control in Austin, commercial audio and video, and on-site networking. On one system an unlock can pull up video and a forced door can trigger the alarm, so you run the building from one app.
