CUSTOM ALARM & SECURITY SYSTEMS
Designed Around Your Property — Not a Prepackaged System
Every property has different vulnerabilities. Secure Tech designs residential and commercial security systems around the actual property, how it is used and the areas that require protection.
Rather than starting with a predetermined package of sensors and equipment, we evaluate the property first and determine where detection should occur, what type of technology is appropriate and how the different layers of security should work together.
With 30 years of security-industry experience, our focus is not simply installing an alarm. It is designing a security system that provides meaningful protection.

SECURITY SHOULD START AS EARLY AS POSSIBLE
Traditional alarm systems often rely heavily on door, window and interior sensors. These devices remain important, but in many situations the first alarm occurs only after someone has already entered the property.
Secure Tech takes a layered approach.
Where the property and environment allow it, we can incorporate perimeter and early-warning detection intended to identify suspicious activity or an attempted intrusion before entry occurs.
If the perimeter is breached, additional layers of protection can provide rapid detection at doors, windows and protected interior areas.
The appropriate combination is different for every property—which is exactly why we don't believe in one-size-fits-all security packages.

RESIDENTIAL SECURITY SYSTEMS
Protecting a home requires more than placing a few sensors on doors and windows.
We evaluate entry points, property layout, vulnerable areas, how the occupants use the home, pets and other environmental factors before recommending a system.
Depending on the property, a residential security design may include:
• Door and window protection
• Glass-break detection
• Interior motion detection
• Perimeter and outdoor detection
• Cellular communication
• Smartphone control and notifications
• Professional alarm monitoring
• Security camera integration
• Smart security features
Our objective is to provide effective protection without making the system unnecessarily complicated to use.
COMMERCIAL SECURITY SYSTEMS
Businesses and commercial properties often require a different approach to intrusion protection.
Secure Tech designs commercial alarm systems around the facility, operating hours, employee access, vulnerable areas and the way the property is actually used.
Systems can be designed for offices, retail locations, warehouses, industrial spaces, multi-tenant properties and other commercial environments.
Alarm systems may also work alongside security cameras and access control to create multiple layers of protection.
PERIMETER & EARLY INTRUSION DETECTION
One of the most important differences in our approach is determining whether an intrusion can be detected earlier.
Depending on the property, perimeter protection may incorporate specialized professional outdoor detection, intelligent video analytics or a combination of security technologies.
Outdoor environments can be challenging. Animals, vegetation, weather, traffic and other movement can create unwanted alarms when equipment is poorly selected or configured.
That's why perimeter security requires careful equipment selection, professional design and ongoing refinement rather than simply adding more sensors.
Our goal is useful early detection while minimizing nuisance and false alarms.
For security and competitive reasons, Secure Tech does not publicly disclose detailed perimeter detection methods, equipment placement, system configurations or protection strategies.

MODERN SECURITY TECHNOLOGY
Today's professional security systems offer capabilities far beyond a traditional keypad and siren.
Depending on the system and customer's requirements, features may include:
• Smartphone control
• Remote arming and disarming
• User management
• Real-time event notifications
• Cellular communication
• Professional alarm monitoring
• Automation
• Security-camera integration
• Technologies designed to reduce communication vulnerabilities
• Wireless interference/jamming detection where supported
Secure Tech works with current professional security platforms and selects technology according to the requirements of the project rather than forcing every customer into the same equipment package.
PROFESSIONAL ALARM PLATFORMS
For new installations and significant system upgrades, Secure Tech primarily works with:
DSC PowerSeries Neo
DSC PowerSeries Pro
Qolsys
Different properties require different system architectures. We select the platform according to the installation, existing infrastructure and security objectives rather than simply choosing equipment by brand name.
EXISTING SECURITY SYSTEM UPGRADES
An older security system doesn't always mean that everything needs to be removed.
Many properties already have professionally installed wiring, door contacts, motion detectors and other infrastructure that may still have value.
Secure Tech can evaluate an existing system and determine what can reasonably be retained, what should be upgraded and what should be replaced.
Depending on the existing equipment, it may be possible to modernize a system with newer controls, cellular communication, smartphone access and other current capabilities while preserving usable portions of the original installation.
Upgrade Your Existing Alarm System
PROFESSIONAL ALARM MONITORING
A professionally monitored security system can communicate alarm events to a monitoring center when an intrusion, fire or other programmed emergency condition occurs.
We can design monitoring and communication around the security system and requirements of the property, including modern cellular communication where appropriate.
SECURITY CAMERAS + ALARM SYSTEMS
Alarm systems and security cameras perform different functions, but when properly designed they can complement each other.
Modern video systems with intelligent analytics can provide meaningful visual information and alerts while an intrusion system provides dedicated security detection.
With compatible cloud-based platforms, Secure Tech can integrate video and intrusion technologies where appropriate.
Important technical distinction: the standalone local-recording camera systems Secure Tech installs operate independently and do not integrate with the alarm system.
ACCESS CONTROL + SECURITY SYSTEMS
For commercial properties, access control can add another layer by managing who is permitted to enter particular doors and when.
Access control, intrusion detection and video surveillance can be designed individually or as complementary parts of a broader security solution.
With compatible Alarm.com technologies, access control, intrusion detection and video can operate within the same broader security ecosystem.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Can you use my existing alarm wiring?
Often, yes. Existing wiring and devices may sometimes be incorporated into a modern security system. We evaluate the existing installation before determining what can reasonably be reused.
Can an older alarm system be upgraded to smartphone control?
In many cases, yes. The available options depend on the existing equipment and condition of the system.
Can a security system detect someone before they break into the building?
In many properties, perimeter and early-warning detection can be incorporated with the objective of identifying suspicious activity before entry. The appropriate solution depends on the property's layout and environment.
Do you install wireless security systems?
Yes. Depending on the property, systems may use wired devices, wireless devices or a combination of both. We choose the architecture according to the installation rather than assuming one method is best for every property.
Do you provide professional alarm monitoring?
Yes. Monitoring options can be included as part of a professionally installed security system.
Do you install security systems for both homes and businesses?
Yes. Secure Tech designs and installs residential and commercial security systems throughout our service area.
What existing alarm systems can Secure Tech service?
Secure Tech currently services DSC, Qolsys, 2GIG, Honeywell VISTA, Interlogix and older Morse by Optex alarm systems.
Service availability depends on the specific system, its condition and the availability of replacement parts for older or discontinued equipment.
