Professional Home Security Camera Installation Across Central Texas
Walk into any big box store and you'll find shelves full of Wi-Fi cameras promising easy setup and simple monitoring. For some homeowners, that may be enough. But for those who want a security camera system that actually performs—one that records clearly, stays connected reliably, and doesn't leave gaps when the internet hiccups or a battery runs low—a professionally installed home security camera system from Centex Systems is in a different category. We install residential security cameras for homeowners across Central Texas, including Temple, Waco, Killeen, Belton, and Harker Heights, focusing on proper camera placement, clean professional installation, and long-term dependable performance.
A home security camera system from Centex Systems starts with a walkthrough of your property to identify the coverage areas that matter most: front and back doors, driveways, garages, side yards, and other zones where visibility gives you a security advantage. We then design a camera layout that eliminates blind spots and maximizes the value of every camera. Our residential installations typically feature high-definition cameras with night vision, wide-angle coverage, weatherproof housings for outdoor use, and remote viewing through a mobile app so you can check on your home from anywhere. Homeowners in Salado, Georgetown, Lorena, Hewitt, Woodway, and throughout Central Texas use Centex-installed camera systems to monitor package deliveries, watch children playing outside, deter criminal activity, and have reliable footage if an incident occurs.
Choosing the right home security camera company in Central Texas means looking past marketing and asking what kind of installation actually protects your home. Centex Systems installs hardwired security cameras whenever possible because a camera connected through a physical cable rather than relying on your home Wi-Fi is more dependable. Our camera systems are installed by technicians licensed through the Texas Department of Public Safety, backed by a full 3-year parts and labor warranty, and set up with a thorough walkthrough so you know how to use every feature. Whether you live in Jarrell, Gatesville, Hamilton, Stephenville, or anywhere in Central Texas, Centex Systems delivers home camera installations built to last and backed by people who stand behind their work.
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.
Security Cameras Work Best as Part of a Complete Home Security System
Home security cameras are a visible and effective layer of protection, but they are most effective as part of a comprehensive security solution. Centex Systems installs home alarm systems with door, window, and motion sensors, smart home automation, access control, and reliable networking to keep every device connected. While cameras can capture intruders, combining them with an alarm system that alerts a 24/7 Texas-based monitoring center and dispatches law enforcement offers stronger protection. With Centex Systems, you have a single trusted partner to design, install, and support your entire home security ecosystem through one complete plan.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between hardwired and Wi-Fi security cameras for my home?
Hardwired security cameras connect to your home's recording system with a physical cable. They do not rely on Wi-Fi, do not use batteries, and are not affected by internet outages or wireless interference. Wi-Fi cameras are easier to install but can be disrupted by weak signals, low batteries, router resets, or interference, which may leave your system offline when you need it most. For these reasons, Centex Systems installs hardwired cameras whenever possible and will guide you to the best solution for your home during your consultation.
How many cameras does my home need?
The number of cameras needed depends on your home's size, layout, and the areas you wish to monitor. Most installations cover front and back doors, driveways, garages, and side yard entry points, as these are common targets for criminal activity and benefit most from visible cameras. During your free consultation, a Centex Systems specialist will assess your property and recommend the optimal camera count and placement to ensure effective coverage without unnecessary costs.
Can I view my home security cameras from my phone?
Yes. Every Centex Systems home camera installation includes mobile app setup, allowing you to view live and recorded footage from your smartphone or tablet anywhere with an internet connection. You can monitor your home remotely and receive alerts when motion is detected in key areas. Your technician will guide you through the app setup and ensure you are comfortable using all features before completing the installation.
Will my security cameras keep recording if the power goes out?
Standard camera systems stop recording during a power outage. To address this, Centex Systems offers battery backup options for home camera installations. With backup power, your cameras can continue recording during outages caused by storms or deliberate power cuts. Ask about backup power solutions during your consultation, and we will recommend the best option for your system.
