Security & Networking Systems in Harker Heights, TX
Centex Systems serves Harker Heights homeowners, military families, and local businesses with professional security cameras, alarm systems, access control, and network installation. Our licensed Central Texas technicians install hardware items backed by the system's warranty in the market. Your family's safety should never depend on a Wi-Fi signal.
Security Solutions Wi-Fi Built for Harker Heights
Harker Heights is one of the most active communities in Bell County, with established neighborhoods, busy retail corridors along the W. Central Texas Expressway, and a large population of military families connected to nearby Fort Cavazos, one of the largest military installations in the country. This combination creates unique security needs, and Centex Systems is equipped to address them.
Whether you are a homeowner, a military spouse managing the household during deployment, or a business owner on the expressway corridor, we design and install systems that provide genuine protection and peace of mind.
Security That Works When Your Family Needs It Most
For military families in Harker Heights, security is a priority. When a service member is deployed, the family deserves a system that is dependable, easy to use, and monitored by a dedicated team. Centex Systems installs advanced alarm systems with encrypted, cellular-based communication that remains connected even if the internet goes down. When your alarm is triggered, our Texas-based, UL-listed monitoring center responds immediately, rather than an overseas call center unfamiliar with Fort Cavazos.
Our technicians spend an average of 45 minutes after each installation guiding you through system use, including arming, disarming, the mobile app, real-time alerts, and basic troubleshooting. We do not leave until you are completely comfortable using your system.
Hardwired Cameras for Stronger, More Reliable Protection
Many security companies promote wireless cameras for faster installation. However, wireless cameras rely on a strong Wi-Fi signal, a charged battery, and a stable internet connection, which are not always guaranteed. Centex Systems installs professionally hardwired security cameras whenever possible, providing faster performance, higher resolution, and greater reliability than Wi-Fi cameras.
We also offer battery backup for camera systems, ensuring your cameras continue recording during a power outage. If a storm or an attempt to cut power affects your home or business in Harker Heights, your system remains operational.

Frequently Asked Questions
I am a military spouse and my partner is currently deployed. Can Centex Systems install a system quickly and show me how to use it on my own?
Absolutely. We understand the unique situation military families face and strive to make the process as smooth as possible. After installation, our technician will spend approximately 45 minutes guiding you through every feature of your system, including the mobile app, alerts, and how to arm and disarm. We do not leave until you feel fully confident using it.
We may receive PCS orders in the next year or two. Is there a contract that would cause problems if we have to move?
No. Centex Systems offers month-to-month monitoring with no long-term contract required. If you choose a 3-year agreement to receive the $300 installation discount and need to cancel due to a PCS or any other reason, you simply repay the $300 discount. There are no significant cancellation penalties or contract buyouts.
We rent our home in Harker Heights. Are there security options available for renters?
Yes, in many cases. Some systems can be installed with minimal impact to the property. We are happy to discuss your specific situation and help you understand which options are appropriate. We recommend involving your landlord beforehand, and we are glad to assist with that conversation.
Can Centex Systems cover both the inside and outside of my home, including the garage and backyard?
Yes. We design each camera and alarm system to fit the specific layout of your property. This includes exterior cameras for driveways, garages, backyards, and side yards, as well as interior motion detection and door and window sensors. We assess your home before making recommendations to ensure the system meets your needs.
What makes Centex Systems different from national companies like ADT or Ring?
Several key factors set us apart. First, our technicians are local, licensed through the Texas Department of Public Safety, and specifically trained for this work. Second, we hardwire our cameras whenever possible rather than relying on Wi-Fi. Third, we offer a 3-year parts and labor warranty at no extra cost, compared to the one-year or less that most national companies provide. Fourth, we offer flexible monitoring with no long-term contract requirements, which most national companies do not provide.
