Your home is more than a structure — it’s where your family lives, where your memories are made, where you should feel completely safe. Protecting that sanctuary requires more than a single doorbell camera or a bargain-bin alarm kit from a big-box store. It requires a custom-designed, professionally installed home security system that addresses your unique property, your specific concerns, and the realities of life in Texas.
At San Antonio Surveillance, we deliver professional home security systems in San Antonio and residential security camera installations for families throughout the greater San Antonio area. We design every system from the ground up — assessing your home, identifying vulnerabilities, and engineering a security solution that delivers true peace of mind. Whether you live in a historic home in Alamo Heights, a sprawling estate in Boerne, a family home in Schertz, or anywhere in between, we have the expertise to protect what matters most.
We’re open seven days a week from 8 AM to 7 PM CST, ready to help you secure your home and your family.
Home break-ins, package theft, vandalism, and trespassing happen across the San Antonio region every day. Even in the safest neighborhoods, no home is completely immune from risk. A professionally designed home security system isn’t paranoia — it’s prudent, practical protection for the people and things you love most.
Beyond crime prevention, a well-designed home security system delivers powerful everyday benefits:
Protection From Property Crimes. Visible cameras, alarm signage, and modern detection technology deter most opportunistic intruders before they ever approach your home.
24/7 Family Safety. Whether you’re home, at work, on vacation, or traveling abroad, your home is being actively protected and monitored.
Package Protection. Porch piracy has become widespread. Video doorbells and front-yard cameras dramatically reduce package theft and capture clear evidence when it happens.
Family Visibility. Check in on kids arriving home from school, monitor a pet during the day, or verify that an elderly parent is safe — all from your smartphone.
Insurance Discounts. Most homeowner insurance providers offer significant policy discounts (often 10-20%) for properly installed and monitored security systems.
Property Value. A documented, professionally installed home security system adds tangible value when you sell your home.
Documentation & Evidence. If anything ever does happen — a break-in, accident, dispute, or incident — you have time-stamped video evidence to support insurance claims and police reports.
True Peace of Mind. Perhaps most importantly, you sleep better knowing your home is actively protected.
We design comprehensive home security systems tailored to each family’s unique needs, property layout, and lifestyle. Our residential offerings include:
Residential Security Camera Installation in San Antonio
Modern residential security cameras have come a long way from grainy black-and-white footage of years past. Our residential security camera installations in San Antonio feature 4K ultra-HD resolution for crystal-clear footage, color night vision that captures detail even in complete darkness, AI-powered motion detection that distinguishes people, vehicles, and animals, smart alerts sent directly to your smartphone, weatherproof outdoor cameras built for Texas heat and storms, discreet indoor cameras, video doorbells with two-way audio, motion-activated floodlight cameras, and cloud-based recording with anywhere-access.
We cover every critical area of your home — front and back entries, driveways, garages, yards, patios, side gates, pool areas, and any other locations you want monitored. Every camera is professionally placed for optimal coverage with no blind spots.
Smart Home Burglar Alarm Systems
A modern alarm system is the backbone of any complete home security setup. Our home alarm systems include door and window contact sensors at every entry point, interior motion detectors with pet-immune technology, glass-break detectors for vulnerable rooms, smoke detectors, heat sensors, and carbon monoxide detectors, water leak and freeze sensors, panic buttons in master bedrooms, smart touchscreen control panels, mobile app control from anywhere, and optional 24/7 professional monitoring with rapid emergency dispatch.
Smart Locks & Keyless Entry
Replace traditional keys with smart locks that let you control your doors from anywhere. Grant temporary access codes to family, guests, contractors, or pet sitters. Auto-lock at bedtime for guaranteed nightly security. See exactly who entered your home and when. Integrate with your security system so doors lock automatically when you arm “away” mode.
Video Doorbells & Smart Entry
See and talk to anyone at your door from anywhere in the world. Our video doorbells feature HD video with wide-angle viewing, two-way audio, motion detection, package detection, instant smartphone alerts, and integration with smart locks for remote door release.
Outdoor & Perimeter Security
For properties with larger yards, longer driveways, gated entries, or rural settings, we extend protection beyond the walls of your home. Solutions include outdoor motion detectors, exterior security lighting, driveway sensors, gate intercoms, perimeter cameras with long-range night vision, license plate recognition cameras for driveways, and integration with electric gates and smart fences.
Home Automation Integration
Modern home security works best when integrated with smart home automation. We integrate cameras, alarms, locks, and lights into one unified platform — so when motion is detected at the front door at 2 AM, the floodlights turn on, cameras record, and your phone receives a video clip. When you say “Goodnight” to your voice assistant, every door locks, the alarm arms, and the house knows you’re asleep.
Indoor Family Cameras
For families with children, pets, or elderly parents, indoor cameras provide peace of mind throughout the day. Check on kids arriving home from school, monitor pets while at work, supervise babysitters and caregivers, or verify an elderly parent is safe. All with crystal-clear video and two-way audio for direct communication.
24/7 Professional Monitoring
While self-monitoring is an option, professional 24/7 monitoring takes your home security to the next level. When your alarm activates, trained operators at a UL-listed central station respond immediately, attempt to verify the alarm, and dispatch local police, fire, or medical responders. Many homeowner insurance providers require professional monitoring for their best discounts.
Cloud Video Storage
Don’t risk losing critical footage to theft, fire, or hardware failure. Our cloud video surveillance options securely store your footage off-site with bank-grade encryption, automatic redundant backups, easy anywhere-access from any device, and flexible retention plans from 7 days to 90+ days.

The cost of a home security system in San Antonio depends on the size of your home, number of cameras, type of equipment, and whether you include professional monitoring. Basic packages with 4-6 cameras and an alarm system typically range from $1,500-$4,000 for equipment and installation. Larger homes or properties with more comprehensive coverage range from $4,000-$10,000+. Professional monitoring adds $25-$60 per month. We provide free quotes with transparent line-item pricing.
The number depends on your property size, layout, and security goals. A typical single-family home benefits from 4-8 cameras strategically placed to cover the front door, back door, driveway, garage, side gates, backyard, and any other vulnerable areas. Larger homes, properties with multiple buildings, or homes on larger lots may need 10-20+ cameras for complete coverage. During our free consultation, we’ll recommend the optimal number and placement.
No — not with properly configured pet-immune motion detectors. Modern motion sensors can be configured to ignore pets up to certain weights (commonly 40-80 pounds), so your dog or cat won’t trigger false alarms. Additionally, AI-powered camera analytics can distinguish between people and animals, sending alerts only for relevant activity. We customize every system around your specific pets.
Absolutely. Every modern home security system we install includes a free mobile app that lets you view live and recorded camera footage, arm and disarm your alarm, lock or unlock smart locks, receive instant alerts, and control connected smart home devices — all from your smartphone, tablet, or computer anywhere in the world with an internet connection.
Both are valid options. Self-monitoring means you receive alerts on your phone and decide what action to take. Professional monitoring means trained operators at a UL-listed central station respond to every alarm immediately and dispatch police, fire, or medical responders as needed — even if you’re asleep, traveling, or unable to respond. Professional monitoring is highly recommended and may qualify you for significant insurance discounts. We help you decide what’s best for your situation.
Quality home security systems include cellular backup communication, so your alarm system continues to send signals to monitoring stations even if your internet goes down. Battery backups in the alarm panel keep the system fully operational during power outages, typically for 24 hours or more. We design every system with reliability in mind so it works when you need it most.
Yes. Modern home security systems work beautifully with smart home automation. We integrate your security cameras, alarms, smart locks, smart lighting, smart thermostats, garage doors, and entertainment systems into one unified platform — controllable from one app, with voice control through Alexa, Google Assistant, or Apple HomeKit. The result is a truly smart, secure home where everything works together.
