Smith Thompson Home Security and Alarm is one of Dallas’ oldest home security companies, dating back to 1978. It is a trusted business by generations of Dallas homeowners.

Its primary service is on home security, which ranges from smart locks, fire detection, cameras, garage control, and more. It does a lot of things and does them all well according to many former and current clients. 

Its high-praise definitely comes from its 24/7 surveillance and hotline, which clients can call at any time. While its technicians are on-duty throughout most of the daytime; after-hours, its services switch to phone call support only.

One downside to this is that should a situation occur that cannot be resolved through the phone, the technicians may arrive a bit later. Regardless, Smith Thompson’s customer service team handles most questions well.

In terms of installation, a lot of clients have praised the company’s service crew. Many highlight how polite and patient they are.

Smith Thompson also sends its service crew before and after installing the security systems. This is to ensure that the system will be installed in the right places as well as work consistently, weeks after. 

Given the many home security services Smith Thompson provides, it can be confusing for clients to remember everything all at once.

However, not only does the service crew install the home security system efficiently but they also walk homeowners through how to properly use it.

Smith Thompson Home Security and Alarm should be the number one choice for round-the-clock home security.

Dallas Security Systems (DSS) is one of the largest independent security systems in the United States. 

Based in the Fort Worth area, it has dedicated itself to the security of both residential and commercial areas for the last decade.

For residential areas, it offers the standard CCTV surveillance along with other services such as fire alarm systems, emergency phones, and intrusion alarms. 

Businesses can be outfitted with Access Control Systems for restricted areas.

A great thing about Dallas Security Systems is that it offers a vast range of control system options. The company is a licensed dealer of different control systems to make sure it can give clients unique solutions to their problems.

When it comes to installing security systems, DSS likes to take its time. It surveys the location and assesses the best place to set them up. 

DSS also makes sure it doesn’t interfere with any existing structures or power lines in the area. Its service team will be patient enough to give clients a rundown on how to use its systems.

Should there be a problem with anything installed, clients can give DSS’ 24/7 hotline a call. 

If the problem persists and cannot be resolved through instruction, then DSS offers same-day repairs as well, but only for clients that call in before noon.

Dallas Security Services is the best overall security system provider in the North Texas area.

If you’re someone looking for surveillance system installers without breaking the bank, then Fort Knox Dallas Home Security might be the best option.

For as low as $15.95 a month, homeowners will be able to install basic CCTV surveillance. This, however, is not suited for big businesses. 

Its security systems are by far the easiest to use among what other companies on this list offer. Everything the homeowner would want to check out can be accessed through their phones.

Access can include live monitor feeds, doors, appliances, glass break sensors, and control lights. With the system’s 24/7 wireless internet connection, clients can check on their homes from anywhere in the world.

In terms of its pricing, Fort Knox Dallas Home Security can be flexible. Within certain purchases, the company does not charge for installation. 

There are even some packages that have no contracts nor credit checks. These packages can be in the form of pick and choose as well.

Clients are able to take out unnecessary devices to add only the most important ones. While this does make your home security system highly customizable, the number of options can still be a bit daunting.

Luckily, Fort Knox Dallas Home Security will guide clients through which ones may be suitable in its consultations. It will not, however, have any home inspections prior to the installation. 

If you’re looking to get the complete home security package, then Alert 360 might be the company that stands out. It offers clients some of the most intuitive and easy to use systems in Dallas.

With Alert 360, everything can be controlled with a touch of a phone, from video surveillance, lock controls, lighting, and more. 

The packages can even include a GPS car tracker that will enable clients to run diagnostic checks on vehicles.

With the company’s many security offerings, its packages can get confusing for clients. Luckily, Alert 360’s customer service can be considered top notch.

There are three ways to get in contact with Alert 360: phone, email, and its webpage. Management replies fast enough to those looking to inquire, while its webpage has a support page agent ready to answer any question.

When installing security systems, the entire process can take 1-2 business days. The company has a lot of job orders because of its high demand and 24/7 technicians on stand-by.

Regardless, we think that Alert 360’s service is very efficient and effective. According to many current clients we spoke to, there was barely a time where they needed to call technicians in for help. 

With multiple security system packages being offered, Alert 360 is any homeowner’s solution to safety and security.

Vector Security has one of the largest service areas amongst home security companies on this list. It has clients from Dallas to Denton, Fort Worth, and surrounding areas.

It offers clients three home security packages that range from basic home protection to a connected home system. We think having only three packages is simple and easy to understand.

We also recommend Vector Security for commercial businesses with security needs. It’s one of the few security companies that can handle small, large, and multisite businesses. 

Apart from the regular surveillance systems, Vector offers Home Automation that homeowners can use to control their houses. 

This is all connected to the Vector Security app, that clients can use to manage their homes with touch of a button.

In terms of installation, Vector does not disappoint. Despite having a large service area, its service team is able to install home security systems within 2 working days. 

They are also very patient, especially to first-time home security owners. They will give a detailed walkthrough on how to use everything.

The customer service team can easily be reached by current clients and those looking to inquire. 

Not only does the company have email and phone lines, but it also has a support agent on its website who’s ready to take in questions. 

Despite having multiple ways of getting contacted, current clients have noticed that customer service can take a while to answer. Regardless, Vector Security is still one of our top picks for home security services.
