Professional 24/7 Alarm Monitoring for Homes and Businesses Across Central Texas
A security system without monitoring is just a loud noise. The alarm may go off, but without a trained team ready to respond, there is no guarantee anyone who can help will be notified in time. Centex Systems provides professional 24/7 alarm monitoring for homeowners and business operators across Central Texas, including Temple, Waco, Killeen, Belton, and Harker Heights, through a UL-listed monitoring center staffed around the clock by trained professionals. When your alarm triggers, our team responds immediately, assesses the situation, contacts you or your designated contacts, and dispatches local law enforcement or emergency services without delay. No automated systems. No overseas call centers. No waiting on hold.
What sets Centex Systems alarm monitoring apart is that it is built specifically for Central Texas customers. Our monitoring center is Texas-based, so the team answering your alarm understands the communities we serve. They coordinate directly with local emergency services in Bell County, McLennan County, and surrounding areas. This provides the fast, personal response that large national companies cannot match. Whether you are a homeowner in Salado, a business owner in Georgetown, or a facility manager in Waco, your alarm monitoring is handled by people close to home, not halfway around the world. Customers in Lorena, Hewitt, Woodway, Jarrell, and throughout our service area trust Centex Systems because local monitoring means faster response and better outcomes when it matters most.
Centex Systems alarm monitoring works reliably, regardless of your internet or power status. Our systems use cellular alarm communication as the primary signal pathway. This means your alarm signal travels over the cellular network instead of relying solely on your home or business Wi-Fi connection. If your internet goes down, your router resets, or someone attempts to jam your signal, your alarm monitoring stays active and connected. Paired with advanced encrypted communication technology, our monitoring solutions resist the tactics modern criminals use to defeat cheaper, internet-dependent systems. This gives homeowners and businesses across Central Texas a level of dependability that holds up under pressure.
Strongest 3-Year Warranty in the market.
Unlike most security companies that only offer a 1-year warranty or less, Centex Systems includes a full 3-Year Parts & Labor Warranty at no extra cost. While competitors often charge monthly fees for “extended coverage,” we stand behind every installation with real long-term protection and accountability.
Stop Relying on Wi-Fi for Security, Hardwired is Better.
Many security companies rely heavily on Wi-Fi cameras and wireless devices that can suffer from weak signals, low battery levels, interference, or disconnections. Centex Systems installs professionally hardwired security cameras whenever possible to provide faster performance, stronger stability, higher resolution, and more dependable protection when it matters most.
Security Without the Contract Trap.
Many security companies lock customers into lengthy contracts with expensive cancellation penalties and contract buyouts. Centex Systems offers flexible month-to-month monitoring with no long-term contract or cancellation fees required. Centex Systems keeps cancellation simple and transparent. Customers who choose a 3-year monitoring agreement will receive an installation discount.
Emergency Backup Power Protection
Most camera systems stop recording the moment power is lost. That is why Centex Systems offers battery backup for camera system installation. Backup power can help keep your cameras recording during power outages or if criminals cut power to the building.
Criminals Look for Easy Targets, Don’t Be One.
Many low-cost or DIY alarm systems rely on basic wireless technology and internet-only communication that can be vulnerable to interference, outages, or inexpensive hacking devices purchased on Amazon. That is why Centex Systems offers advanced, encrypted, and jam-resistant technology, such as quality sensors and cellular alarm communication, to provide more secure and reliable protection against modern security threats.
State Licensed Technicians. Professionally Trained.
Centex Systems technicians are licensed through the Texas Department of Public Safety and complete 40+ hours of initial classroom instruction, hands-on field training, and background checks before working independently. Because a security system is only as good as the people installing it.
We Don’t Just Install It. We Show You How to Use It.
A security system only helps if you know how to use it. After installation, Centex technicians walk customers through their system step-by-step, including arming, disarming, mobile app features, alerts, and basic troubleshooting. On average, our technicians spend about 45 minutes after each installation training customers and answering questions. We do not leave until you are comfortable using your system.
We Treat Your Property Like Our Own, No Shortcuts.
We treat your home or business with respect throughout the installation process and clean up thoroughly before leaving the job site. Every installation also goes through a 180-point technician checklist to help ensure the system is installed properly, tested, and functioning correctly before completion.

How Getting Started with Centex Systems Alarm Monitoring Works
Free consultation & system assessment
We start with a conversation about your property, your current system if you have one, and what level of protection you're looking for. If you need a new installation, we'll design a fully customized alarm system built around your home or business. If you have an existing system, we'll assess its compatibility and let you know the best path to reliable cellular monitoring.
Professional installation & monitoring activation
Your system is installed or upgraded by licensed Centex technicians using our 180-point installation checklist. Once complete, we activate your monitoring service, verify that your alarm signals are reaching our Texas-based monitoring center correctly, and confirm that all communication pathways, including cellular backup, are fully operational before we leave your property.
Hands-on walkthrough & ongoing peace of mind
Before we wrap up, your technician spends about 45 minutes walking you through your entire system and monitoring setup, including how to arm and disarm, how to use the mobile app, how to manage emergency contacts, and what to expect when your alarm activates. You'll leave the appointment fully informed, fully confident, and protected around the clock by a team that's right here in Central Texas.
Frequently Asked Questions
What happens when my alarm goes off with Centex Systems monitoring?
The moment your alarm activates, our Texas-based monitoring center receives the signal, and a live professional responds immediately. They will try to contact you or your designated emergency contacts to verify the situation. If the alarm is confirmed or we cannot reach you, we dispatch the appropriate emergency services; law enforcement, fire, or medical, directly to your property. The entire process happens quickly without automated delays or overseas routing.
Does alarm monitoring require a long-term contract?
No. Centex Systems offers flexible month-to-month alarm monitoring with no long-term contract or cancellation fees. Customers who choose a 3-year monitoring agreement receive a $300 installation discount and can cancel anytime by repaying the $300 discount; no large penalties or paying the remainder of the contract. We keep it simple because we believe customers should stay for the quality of service, not because they are locked in.
Will my alarm still be monitored if my internet goes down?
Yes. Centex Systems installs alarm systems that use cellular communication as the primary signal path, so your monitoring connection does not depend solely on your home or business internet. Even if your Wi-Fi goes out, your router resets, or your internet service is disrupted, your alarm signal continues to reach our monitoring center through the cellular network, keeping your property protected without interruption.
Is your monitoring center really based in Texas?
Yes. Centex Systems partners with a UL-listed monitoring center based in Texas, not an overseas operation or a national call center routing your alarm to whoever is available. Our monitoring team is staffed by trained professionals who work with local law enforcement and emergency services across Central Texas, providing faster and more coordinated response when your alarm activates. It's one of the most important differences between Centex Systems and many of the larger national security companies.
Can I get monitoring for an existing alarm system, or does it have to be a new installation?
In many cases, Centex Systems can provide monitoring for existing alarm systems, depending on the equipment and its compatibility with our monitoring platform. We'll assess your current system during a consultation and let you know what's possible. In some situations, upgrading certain components, such as the communication module, may be needed to ensure reliable cellular monitoring. Contact us, and we'll walk you through your options.
