The cameras we hang on San Antonio homes.
One camera over the front door, or fourteen across a warehouse. An analyst walks the property with you first and recommends what you need — nothing you don’t.
Video doorbells
Head-to-toe view of the porch, two-way talk, a phone alert the moment a package lands. You see who is out there before you open up.
Outdoor cameras
Driveway, side gate, back yard — built to take a Texas summer and whatever a spring storm brings. Spotlight and floodlight versions light up the yard and record in color after dark. Aimed by hand, tested before we leave.
Indoor cameras
Kids home from school, the dog on the couch, the contractor in the kitchen — same app as the doorbell.
Continuous recording — NVR or cloud
Motion clips miss things. Continuous recording keeps the whole timeline, so when a neighbor asks what happened at 2:14 Tuesday morning you scroll right to it. NVR, cloud, or both.
Commercial camera systems
Retail, offices, warehouses, multi-site. See commercial security, or pair cameras with access control to put a face on every badge swipe.
Who installs security cameras in San Antonio?
Plenty of people will. National brands ship a subcontractor. Big-box stores sell you a box. Here is who we are.
Alamo Smart Home — Orenda Securities LLC, headquartered in San Antonio since 2017, Texas license #B05229001, rated 4.9 across 1,300+ Google reviews. Our technicians are salaried Alamo employees, so the person who drills the hole is the person who comes back if the angle needs adjusting. Monitoring runs from San Antonio, and most service calls get handled the same day.
The quote is free and happens in person. An analyst tells you where cameras earn their keep and where they would just be decoration. No commissioned sales reps. No pressure.
How much does security camera installation cost in San Antonio?
Cameras get quoted on site, free, after we have seen the house. A one-story ranch and a two-story with a detached shop are not the same job. Monitoring we can price right now.
Professional monitoring is $19.99/month. Monitoring with video analytics and cloud recording is $24.99/month. No required contract on either, and you own the equipment outright — nothing to rent forever. National brands run $45–$90 a month on 36–60 month agreements for hardware you never own. More in our San Antonio security cost breakdown.
What moves a camera quote
- How many cameras. Four covers most homes; corner lots and detached buildings need more.
- Where they go. A second-story eave is a different job than a porch ceiling.
- Cable runs. Wired cameras stay online in a storm, but the wire has to get there.
- Attic access. A walkable attic is quick. Low pitch and blown insulation is not.
- Storage. Cloud, a local NVR, or both.
You get the number before we start, and it does not change on install day.
Can I add cameras to my existing alarm system?
Usually yes, and it is a cheaper conversation than most people expect.
If your system already runs on Alarm.com, cameras drop into the account you have. Same app, same login — a door-open event and the video of it land on one timeline.
If your panel is another brand, we will look at it and tell you honestly whether cameras will play nicely or whether swapping the panel is the better spend.
Cameras you already bought are worth asking about too. Send us the model number and we will check.
Why a local install beats a box off the shelf.
Shelf cameras are not bad hardware. The problem is almost never the camera — it is where it ended up.
Placement is the whole game. A camera at eight feet gives you a face. At fourteen feet it gives you the top of a hat. Aimed west across a driveway, it goes blind every evening.
The hard part is the run. Power and cable to a second-story eave means an attic in August, a fish tape down a stucco wall, and a ladder you should not be on.
Wi-Fi runs out before your property does. A wireless camera at the back fence looks fine from the kitchen counter and drops offline once mounted. We test signal where it is going.
Alerts get tuned so you keep them on. Set up wrong, a camera buzzes for every passing car until you mute it — and a muted camera protects nobody.
Somebody answers when it breaks. No 1-800 queue, no part mailed out with a screwdriver. Same team, usually the same day. More in our camera installation guide.

How much does security camera installation cost in San Antonio?
We quote cameras on site and the walkthrough is free — the count, the mounting spots and the cable runs decide the price. Monitoring is flat either way: $19.99 a month, or $24.99 with video analytics and cloud recording. No required contract, and you own the equipment.
Who installs security cameras in San Antonio?
We do — Alamo Smart Home, San Antonio based since 2017, Texas licensed #B05229001, rated 4.9 across 1,300+ Google reviews. Our installers are salaried employees, not subcontractors, so the tech who hangs your cameras is the one who comes back if something needs adjusting.
How many cameras does a house actually need?
Four covers most San Antonio homes: front door, driveway, back yard, and the side gate people forget. Corner lots and long back fences need more. Rather than guess, an analyst walks the property free and shows you the sightlines — then you decide.
Is footage stored locally or in the cloud?
Your choice. A local NVR keeps continuous recording on site. Cloud recording keeps video off site, where nobody can walk out with the recorder. Plenty of customers run both, and we will show you which one matches how you would go looking for footage.
Can you install cameras I already bought?
Often, yes. If your cameras are compatible we can bring them into the same app and panel instead of charging you to replace hardware that works. Send us the brand and model before the visit and we will tell you straight.
Do security cameras work with my alarm and smart locks?
Yes. Cameras, alarm, locks, lights and thermostat all run through Alarm.com on one app and one panel. Open it and you get live video, arm and disarm, and a searchable timeline of every door, motion and camera event. One system, not five apps.
Do you install commercial camera systems too?
Yes — storefronts, offices, warehouses and multi-site operators across the metro. We handle cameras, 24/7 monitoring and access control together, so a badge swipe at a back door lines up with video of who walked through it. Call and we will come look.
Am I locked into a contract for camera monitoring?
No. A contract is optional and never required. We will write one if you want to lock in your rate, but you do not have to. National brands run $45 to $90 a month on 36 to 60 month agreements and you never own the gear.
