Security & Networking Systems in Hewitt, TX
Centex Systems serves Hewitt homeowners and local businesses with professional security camera installation, alarm systems, access control, and network solutions. Our licensed Central Texas technicians design and build hardwired systems for reliability, monitored by a Texas-based team, and backed by the strongest warranty in the market, so you can feel confident in your protection every day.
Dependable Security for a Growing Community
Hewitt has become one of the most desirable places to live in McLennan County. With well-kept neighborhoods, strong schools in the Midway ISD, and convenient access to Waco via I-35 and Highway 84, it is a community where families put down roots and plan to stay. That investment deserves real protection, not a cookie-cutter system from a national chain unfamiliar with this area.
Centex Systems is a Central Texas company, and Hewitt is part of the community we serve daily. We design and install security systems built around your home, property layout, and family's routine, not a one-size-fits-all package from a catalog.
Hardwired Cameras That Do Not Let You Down
Wireless cameras are convenient to sell, but not always when you need them most. A dropped Wi-Fi signal, a dead battery, or a connection loss during a storm can leave your property unprotected without your knowledge. Centex Systems installs professionally hardwired security cameras whenever possible, delivering higher resolution, faster performance, and consistent reliability that wireless systems cannot provide.
We also offer battery backup for camera systems, so your cameras keep recording even when the power goes out. Whether it is a Central Texas thunderstorm or someone deliberately cutting power to your home, your system keeps running.
Alarm Systems That Stay Connected No Matter What
Many entry-level alarm systems, including popular DIY options, rely on your home's internet connection to communicate with a monitoring center. If your internet goes down, so does your alarm's ability to call for help. Centex Systems installs encrypted, cellular-based alarm systems that communicate independently of your home Wi-Fi or broadband connection. Even if the power is out or the internet is down, your system stays connected, and your monitoring center stays informed.
And when your alarm does go off, it reaches a Texas-based, UL-listed monitoring center, not an overseas call center with no local knowledge. Our monitoring team can coordinate with McLennan County emergency responders quickly and efficiently because they know this area.

Frequently Asked Questions
I live in a newer subdivision in Hewitt. Do you install security systems in new construction homes?
Yes, and new construction is actually an ideal time to install a security system. We can pre-wire for cameras and structured cabling during the building process, which means cleaner installation, less visible wiring, and a more polished finished result. We work with both builders and homeowners on new construction projects throughout the area.
My current cameras are Wi-Fi-based, and I have had issues with them going offline. Can you replace them with hardwired cameras?
Absolutely. This is one of the most common upgrades we perform. We assess your existing setup, recommend the right hardwired solution for your home's layout, and install cameras that are wired directly to a recorder — no Wi-Fi dependency, no battery concerns, and significantly more reliable performance overall.
How does the 3-year warranty work? What does it actually cover?
Our 3-Year Parts and Labor Warranty covers both the equipment and the labor required to repair or replace it if something fails due to a defect or installation issue during that period. There is no monthly fee to maintain the warranty and no fine print that voids it under normal circumstances. If something goes wrong, we come out and make it right, that is the commitment.
Can Centex Systems integrate security cameras with a smart home system I already have?
In many cases, yes. We work with a range of smart home and automation platforms and can discuss compatibility during your initial consultation. If your existing system has limitations, we will be straightforward about it and walk you through options that would work better with what you already have in place.
How long does a home security camera installation typically take in Hewitt?
Most residential camera installations are completed in a single day. The exact timeframe depends on the number of cameras, the size of your home, and the layout of your property. We will give you a clear estimate before we start, so you can plan your day, and we will include customer training time after the installation is complete, before we leave.
Commercial Security Solutions for Hewitt Businesses
Hewitt may be known as a residential community, but the businesses operating along Hewitt Drive and the Highway 84 corridor serve thousands of residents every day. Those businesses need security systems that perform at a commercial level, with the reliability, features, and professional installation that box-store options simply cannot deliver. Centex Systems works directly with local business owners to evaluate their facilities, identify security gaps, and install systems built to protect their people, property, and assets. Every commercial installation is backed by our 3-year parts and labor warranty, and we offer flexible monitoring with no long-term contract required.
