Absolutely LOVE our cameras. We just needed a few cameras traded out, due to being old, but got a whole new system. It was a much needed upgrade. Highly recommend !
Matt was most receptive to my need to restore my URC audio equipment on short notice by adjusting their service to accommodate my schedule. He and Aaron arrived at the house in a timely manner, quickly diagnosed the problem, and resolved the issue. This was my first connection to Complete Elite Technologies, and I will definitely reach out to them for my future technology needs.

Thank you Sir for the great 5 Star review. We look forward to meeting and exceeding all your future needs! 😊
Matt came out and fix a router problem that I have been having since 2022. I was so frustrated and I even had another Home Theater installation company come out and they couldn’t fix the problem. He came out and goteverything fixed and hooked up my Solar panel system. Top-notch service thank you again, buddy!
My experience with this company and the owner Matt was was amazing. The work they did was exceptional and it came at a fair/reasonable price. I will be using them in the future for other projects.
They do an amazing job very friendly and great customer service,

One of the first decisions homeowners face is whether to pay for professional monitoring. Here is an honest comparison based on 20+ years of installing both:
Professionally Monitored Systems
A 24/7 monitoring center watches your system around the clock. When an alarm triggers, trained operators verify the event and dispatch police, fire, or EMS within seconds. You do not need to be awake, near your phone, or even in the state. This is the standard recommended by law enforcement and insurance companies.
Monthly cost: $25-$50/month depending on features
Response time: Monitoring center contacts you within 30-60 seconds of alarm activation
Dispatches police/fire/EMS on your behalf
Required for most homeowner insurance discounts
Includes cellular and battery backup so the system works during power and internet outages
Self-Monitored Systems
You receive push notifications on your phone when an alarm triggers. The response is entirely up to you — you call 911, check cameras, or dismiss false alarms. Self-monitoring costs $0-$10/month but puts the responsibility on you.
Monthly cost: $0-$10/month
You must check your phone and respond to every alert
If you are asleep, driving, or in a meeting, you might miss the alarm
Most insurance companies do not offer discounts for self-monitored systems
No automatic dispatch — you must call 911 yourself
Our recommendation: Professional monitoring is worth the $25-$50/month for the peace of mind and insurance savings alone. Most homeowners save 5-20% on their homeowner’s insurance, which often offsets the monitoring cost entirely.
Alarm System Equipment & Components
A complete alarm system is more than a siren. Here is what goes into a professionally installed system:
Control Panel
The brain of the system. Modern panels from DMP and Alarm.com include a touchscreen interface, cellular communication (no phone line needed), Wi-Fi backup, and built-in Z-Wave for smart home integration. The panel communicates with every sensor in your home and reports events to the monitoring center.
Door & Window Sensors
Magnetic contact sensors detect when a door or window opens. We install them on every exterior door and ground-floor window at minimum. For homes with many windows, glass break detectors provide coverage for an entire room without individual sensors on each pane.
Motion Detectors
PIR (passive infrared) motion detectors cover hallways, living areas, and basements. Pet-immune models ignore animals up to 80 pounds while still detecting human intruders. We position motion detectors to create overlapping zones so there are no blind spots.
Glass Break Detectors
Acoustic sensors that detect the sound of breaking glass from up to 25 feet away. One glass break detector can cover an entire room of windows, making them cost-effective for living rooms and bedrooms with multiple windows.
Keypads & Panic Buttons
Wall-mounted keypads at entry points let you arm and disarm the system. We install panic buttons in master bedrooms and home offices — a silent button alerts the monitoring center and dispatches police without triggering an audible alarm that might escalate a dangerous situation.
Sirens & Strobes
Interior sirens produce 85-110 dB to alert occupants and deter intruders. Exterior sirens and strobes notify neighbors and help police identify the right house. We install both for maximum deterrence.
Smoke & CO Detectors
Monitored smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors report directly to the monitoring center. If a fire starts at 3 AM and your family is asleep, the monitoring center dispatches the fire department immediately. We install combination smoke/heat detectors in kitchens to reduce false alarms from cooking.
Flood & Temperature Sensors
Water leak sensors near water heaters, washing machines, and under sinks alert you before a small leak becomes a major flood. Temperature sensors detect frozen pipe conditions during rare Texas freezes. These sensors have saved homeowners thousands in water damage.
Monthly Monitoring Costs
We offer transparent monitoring plans through Alarm.com, one of the largest and most reliable monitoring platforms in the country:
Basic Monitoring — $25/month: 24/7 professional monitoring, cellular communication, mobile app with arm/disarm
Interactive — $35/month: Everything in Basic plus real-time alerts, smart lock control, thermostat integration, and video clip access
Premium — $45-$50/month: Everything in Interactive plus video analytics, facial recognition, live video streaming, and geo-fencing automation
There are no long-term contracts required. We believe our service keeps you — not a contract. If you are switching from another alarm company, we can often reuse your existing sensors and save on equipment costs.
Texas Fire Alarm Codes & Requirements
Texas has specific requirements for fire alarm systems that differ from other states:
Smoke detectors required on every level of the home and in every bedroom
CO detectors required in homes with gas appliances or attached garages
Fire alarm installation requires a Texas Alarm License — Complete Elite Technologies holds License #B12702301
Monitored fire alarms must have two communication paths (cellular + internet) per NFPA 72
Commercial fire alarm systems require annual inspection and testing per Texas state fire marshal rules
We install systems that meet every Texas requirement so you never have an issue with inspectors or insurance adjusters.
Insurance Discounts: 5-20% Savings
A professionally monitored alarm system qualifies you for a homeowner’s insurance discount in Texas. The discount ranges from 5% to 20% depending on your insurance carrier and the level of monitoring:
Burglar alarm only: 5-10% discount
Burglar + fire alarm: 10-15% discount
Burglar + fire + monitoring certificate: 15-20% discount
We provide a monitoring certificate for your insurance company. On a $2,500/year homeowner’s policy, a 15% discount saves you $375/year — more than enough to cover the monitoring cost. Your alarm system essentially pays for itself.
Alarm.com Smart Home Integration
Modern alarm systems are smart home hubs. Through the Alarm.com platform, your alarm system connects to:
Smart locks — Auto-lock when you arm the system, unlock when you disarm
Thermostats — Set energy-saving mode when you arm “away”
Security cameras — Record clips when the alarm triggers, view live feeds in the same app
Garage doors — Close the garage automatically when you arm the system
Lighting — Turn on lights when motion is detected, flash during an alarm event
We also serve Dallas, Allen, Prosper, Heath, Caddo Mills, Greenville, and all surrounding communities. See all service areas.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a home alarm system cost in the Dallas-Fort Worth area?
A basic professionally installed alarm system with a panel, 3 door sensors, a motion detector, and a siren runs $800-$1,500. A comprehensive system covering every door, window, and room with smoke/CO detectors and smart home integration runs $2,000-$5,000. Monthly monitoring ranges from $25-$50. Call Complete Elite Technologies at (972) 807-0075 for a free security assessment and quote.
Is professional monitoring worth the monthly cost?
In our professional opinion, yes. The monitoring center responds 24/7 even when you are asleep, at work, or on vacation. Most importantly, they dispatch police and fire on your behalf. The 5-20% homeowner’s insurance discount often covers the monitoring cost entirely. A $35/month monitoring plan costs $420/year, but a 15% insurance discount on a $2,500 policy saves you $375 — making the effective cost under $4/month.
Can I keep my existing alarm equipment if I switch providers?
In most cases, yes. If your current system uses standard equipment from Honeywell, DSC, or DMP, we can reprogram it to work with our monitoring service. This saves you hundreds on equipment costs. We will inspect your current system for free and tell you exactly what can be reused and what should be upgraded.
What happens during a power outage?
Your alarm system has a built-in battery backup that keeps it running for 4-24 hours depending on the panel. Communication switches to cellular backup, which does not depend on your internet or power. Even during the February 2021 Texas freeze when power was out for days, monitored alarm systems on cellular backup continued protecting homes and dispatching first responders.
Do alarm systems cause false alarms and fines?
Modern systems with pet-immune motion detectors, properly placed sensors, and app-based cancel features have dramatically reduced false alarms. If an alarm triggers accidentally, you can cancel it from your phone within 30-60 seconds before dispatch. Most cities in Texas do not fine for the first 1-3 false alarms per year. We program every system to minimize false triggers and train you on proper use. Call (972) 807-0075 with any concerns.
