Options & equipment

Systems generally fall into three tiers:

System Type	Best for	Typical Coverage
Wired panel	Homes being renovated or with existing low-voltage wiring	Whole-home, most tamper-resistant, no batteries to swap on sensors
Wireless panel	Most existing single-family homes	Whole-home, fast install, flexible sensor placement
Hybrid / smart panel	Households wanting app control + professional monitoring	Whole-home with smartphone arm/disarm, automation triggers, and video verification

We are not tied to a single manufacturer — we install and support Honeywell/Resideo, Qolsys, Alarm.com-enabled panels, and DSC systems, and we'll tell you honestly which fits your house instead of pushing whichever brand pays us the highest commission.

Local considerations in Sterling Heights & Macomb County

Sterling Heights' housing stock skews older in some pockets — ZIP codes like 48310 and 48312 include a large share of homes built between the 1960s and 1980s, per Macomb County housing data. Older construction often means plaster walls, older electrical panels, or aluminum branch wiring, all of which change how a system should be run and grounded. Newer construction in 48314 and parts of Shelby Township is typically pre-wired for security, which can shorten install time and lower cost.

We also account for Sterling Heights' seasonal swings: temperature extremes between summer humidity and winter cold can affect exterior sensor and camera housings if cheap equipment is used, so we spec components rated for Michigan's climate on anything mounted outside.

What it costs

Typical residential installations in Sterling Heights range from roughly $300–$600 for a basic panel with 4–6 sensors, up to $1,200–$2,500+ for a full-home system with motion detectors, glass-break sensors, and a smart panel. Monitoring is billed separately — see our alarm monitoring page for plan pricing.

Every quote is based on an on-site walkthrough — we don't sell fixed "packages" that leave gaps in coverage or charge for equipment you don't need. See our full 2026 cost guide →

Frequently asked questions

How long does installation take?

Most single-family homes are fully wired, tested, and explained in 2–4 hours. Larger homes or homes needing extra wiring may take a full day.

Will it damage my walls or trim?

Wireless sensors use low-profile mounting with minimal drilling, typically a couple of small screws or industrial adhesive. We patch and clean up after every install.

Can I add cameras or smart locks later?

Yes. Most panels we install support adding cameras, smart locks, and smoke detectors down the road without replacing the core system.

Do I have to sign a long-term contract?

No. We offer both contract and no-contract, month-to-month monitoring options.
