★★★★★ Rated 4.9 on Google · 1,400+ Texas customers Locally owned, salaried techs TX Lic.

Whether you run a single storefront or a multi-site operation across Bexar County, your system gets easier to manage as you grow.
Too many apps. Aging systems.
Most owners aren’t struggling with security — they’re struggling with clutter. Every change means touching a different system, usually through a different vendor.
Keys you can’t track
Lost fobs and copied keys with no record of who has what — and a rekey every time someone leaves.
An app for everything
One login for the alarm, another for cameras, a keypad nobody remembers how to reprogram.
Legacy lock-in
Proprietary panels that can’t be updated and a dealer you pay for every small change.
One system that builds on itself
We design access control as part of one platform — the same system that runs your alarm, cameras and automation. The more you add, the smarter it gets.
APP
When it all talks to each other
- A forced door triggers the alarm and pulls up that door’s camera automatically.
- See the live video tied to every unlock — who actually walked in on that badge.
- Terminate an employee and cut access, arm the alarm and lock down — in one action.
- Add a door or camera later and it slots into the same dashboard — no new app to learn.
Every door, lock and camera — in one place
The same app your team uses for security and video shows access events in real time, tied to the camera that saw them.
Designed around how you’ll grow
We don’t hand you a box. We design the system around your space and your plans, then set it up to stay easy to manage for years.
Cloud + OTA
Manage it from anywhere; the platform keeps improving over the air — no service call.
Phones as keys
Mobile credentials alongside cards, fobs, codes or biometrics — use what fits each door.
Scales cleanly
One door to dozens, one site to many — same dashboard, same login.
You own it
Open, supported platforms — no obsolescence trap, no dealer holding your system hostage.
Card, fob, code, phone or fingerprint — your call
We install and configure the readers, controllers and credentials that fit each door, then tie it all back to the Alarm.com app — enterprise-grade control without the enterprise headache.
- Mobile & card credentials, keypads, biometrics and video intercoms
- Cloud controllers — manage every door from one dashboard
- Reuse existing doors and wiring wherever it makes sense
New build or existing building — we make it easy
Most access-control projects fall into one of two buckets. We handle both — and we’ll tell you honestly which path fits your space.
New construction
Building or remodeling? We design access in from day one — clean wiring, the right reader at every opening, and a system fully customized to how your building will run. Easy to spec now, easy to scale later.
Upgrading existing hardware
Already have doors and wiring? You usually don’t need to replace everything. In most cases we reuse your existing hardware and add a modern controller — and sometimes a new reader — so you get mobile credentials and fob or phone-tap entry without the cost of a full rip-and-replace.
Run your doors from your pocket
Why San Antonio businesses leave keys behind
| What you need | Traditional keys & legacy | Alamo cloud access control |
|---|---|---|
| Someone loses a credential | Rekey the lock | Disable it in seconds from the app |
| Let a vendor in after hours | Drive over with a key | Unlock remotely from your phone |
| Control who gets in, and when | Not possible | Per-door schedules & permissions |
| Know who went where | No record | Full audit trail tied to camera video |
| Onboard or offboard staff | Cut or collect keys | Add or revoke access instantly |
| Work with alarm & cameras | Separate systems | One app for access, alarm, video & automation |
We recommend what fits — honestly
Alarm.com Access Control
The platform that puts access, alarm, video and automation in one app — and gets better as you add to it. It’s the “build-on-itself” experience most owners are really after, and one of the major platforms we deploy across San Antonio.
DMP & other commercial platforms
For larger door counts, specific integrations, or existing infrastructure worth keeping, we install DMP and other commercial-grade systems — and tell you which is right for your building.
What drives your price
Access control is quoted per project after a free on-site design — because no two buildings are alike. A few things move the number:
Number of openings
How many doors, gates and elevators you want controlled.
New vs. existing
Whether we wire from scratch or reuse doors and wiring you already have.
Credential type
Cards and fobs, mobile/phone-tap, keypads or biometrics — your call.
Monitoring & integration
Whether you add 24/7 commercial monitoring, cameras and automation.
No guesswork: you get a clear, fixed quote after the walkthrough — not a vague range over the phone.
Don’t just get an alert — get a guard.
We’re rolling out a live guard-dispatch service that pairs with your access and video system. When a real event happens — a forced door, an after-hours alarm, a camera flag — we can dispatch a guard to your property, not just send a notification. Ask about early access when you book your assessment.
