The Short Answer

Smart home security means cameras, locks, and sensors that are actually integrated into your home — not bolted on as a separate system you have to manage in yet another app. When your front door unlocks, the camera starts recording. When you leave, the alarm arms itself, the locks engage, and the lights shut off. When your smart home is properly wired for security, it's not just harder to break into — it's simpler to live in.

What We Install

Security systems designed
for the whole home

Every installation starts with an on-site walkthrough. We assess entry points, sight lines, and lighting before recommending a single piece of hardware.

📷
Security Camera Systems

Wired PoE cameras on a local NVR for maximum reliability — no cloud fees, footage stays on your property. Or wireless for retrofit installs. We design placement for full perimeter coverage: entry points, driveway, backyard, and garage. 1080p to 4K options, night vision, motion zones.

Alarm Panel & Sensors

Door/window contact sensors, motion detectors, glass break sensors, and a central alarm panel that ties it all together. Works with your existing alarm company or standalone. We integrate with DSC, Honeywell, and Qolsys panels. Optional 24/7 professional monitoring at no markup.

🏠
Garage & Gate Control

Smart garage door openers that let you open, close, and check status from your phone. Auto-close if you forget, voice control via Alexa/Google, arrival-based automation. Wired to your existing garage door motor or full replacement. Bonus: no more wondering if you closed the garage.

Great Add-On
📱
Unified App & Automation

The real value is when everything works together. Arriving home: garage opens, door unlocks, lights turn on, alarm disarms — automatically. Leaving: one tap (or automating based on location) locks everything, arms the alarm, adjusts climate. We configure the scenes and automations for you.

Why Not Just Call ADT or Vivint?

National brand vs.
local integrator

Both protect your home. But how they do it — and who benefits from the arrangement — is very different.

National Subscription Brand
ADT / Vivint / SimpliSafe
  • Monthly fees from $25–$60/mo, forever — required to use most features
  • Proprietary hardware you don't fully own or can't take to a new platform
  • National call center — no one who knows your house or your system
  • Separate app — not connected to your lights, locks, climate, or audio
  • Upsell model — annual contracts, cancellation fees, equipment leases
Unified Integration PA
Local Professional Integrator
  • No mandatory subscription — local NVR storage, no monthly fee required
  • You own the hardware outright — compatible with any future platform
  • Local technician who designed your system and knows every device
  • One app for everything — security integrates with lights, locks, audio, climate
  • No contracts — flat-rate installation, transparent pricing upfront

Questions

Common questions about smart home security

What’s the difference between a smart home security system and ADT or Vivint?

ADT and Vivint are subscription services — they sell a monthly contract, use proprietary hardware, and support comes from national call centers. A professionally integrated smart home security system means you own the hardware outright, cameras and locks connect to your existing smart home platform, and there’s no mandatory monthly fee. A local integrator does a proper site assessment, places cameras for real perimeter coverage, and integrates everything into one app alongside your lights, climate, and audio — not a separate security-only app.

Can you integrate security cameras into my existing smart home?

Yes — that’s the whole point. We assess what platform you’re running (Google Home, Apple HomeKit, SmartThings, Control4, Lutron, etc.) and select cameras, locks, and sensors that integrate natively. If your existing system has gaps, we extend it rather than replacing it. The goal is one app controlling lights, climate, audio, and security — not four separate apps with no awareness of each other.

Do I need a monthly monitoring subscription?

No — not required. Most modern cameras include local storage (SD card or NVR) and push notifications directly to your phone at no monthly cost. If you want professional 24/7 monitoring with police dispatch, that option is available for roughly $10–$25/month — far less than ADT or Vivint. We’ll walk you through the tradeoffs and recommend what makes sense for your situation.

What security cameras do you install?

For wired installations, we recommend PoE (Power over Ethernet) cameras from Reolink, Hikvision, or Lorex paired with a local NVR — reliable, no subscription, 4K options, footage stays on your property. For wireless or retrofit installs, we use Arlo Pro or Nest Cam. Doorbells: Ring wired or Reolink Video Doorbell. We match the hardware to your infrastructure and smart home platform, not the other way around.

Can a smart lock replace my existing deadbolt?

Yes. Smart locks like the Schlage Encode Plus, Kwikset Halo, and Yale Assure replace your existing deadbolt and fit standard door prep. Most installations take under 30 minutes per door. Smart locks give you keypad codes for contractors or guests (that expire automatically), auto-lock after a set interval, and remote lock/unlock from your phone. When integrated with your smart home, arriving home can unlock the door, disarm the alarm, and turn on the lights automatically — simultaneously.

How much does professionally installed smart home security cost?

A starter package (video doorbell + 2–4 cameras + one smart lock) runs $1,200–$2,800 installed. A whole-home setup (6–8 cameras, NVR, 2–3 smart locks, door/window sensors) runs $3,500–$7,000 installed. High-end integrated systems with alarm panel, glass break sensors, and full smart home automation run $8,000–$18,000+. All prices include hardware, installation, and configuration. No hidden fees, no mandatory monthly contract.
