Top Ranked Companies
The Good

- Home Automation Options
- Free Quote
- Professional Monitoring Options
- No Long-Term Contracts
Equipment Options
Alamo Smart Home has a wide range of security equipment including the following:
- Security panel
- Doorbell camera
- Outdoor camera
- Indoor and motion viewer camera
- Motion detector
- Door/window sensor
- Glass break sensor
Alamo Smart Home’s basic security package does not include security cameras. However, they can be added for an additional fee. You can also add smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, flood detectors, and medical pendants to your system for added security against environmental threats and medical emergencies.
Alamo Smart Home’s equipment is powered by Alarm.com. You can monitor and manage your security system and devices from the Alarm.com mobile app. The app also connects and manages any home automation devices you decide to include in your smart home system.
Home Automation Options
Alamo Smart Home also has home automation products that can be added to your security system. These products include the following:
- Smart door lock
- Thermostat
- Smart garage
- Smart home lighting
You can manage these products from the same mobile app as your security system.
Free Quote
Alamo Smart Home’s website does not list any pricing information. However, the company offers a free quote so you can determine if its services fit within your budget. The website has a form you can submit to request a free quote or you can contact the company directly.
Professional Monitoring Options
Alamo Smart Home offers 24/7 professional monitoring starting at $19.99 per month. If you choose to opt out of this service, you will be responsible for monitoring your system and alerting authorities if the system is set off.
No Long-Term Contracts
Alamo Smart Home does not have long-term contracts. Many security companies require 36 – 60 month contracts that are difficult to get out of. Alamo Smart Home's month-to-month contract options allow their customers much more flexibility than other competitors. However, the company's website does not provide much detail on the obligations of its contract. You will need to contact the company directly for more details.
The Bad
- Undisclosed Pricing and Contract Information
Undisclosed Pricing Information
The Alamo Smart Home website does not provide any information on pricing. The company does offer professional monitoring services, but it does not clarify equipment or installation costs. We encourage you to talk to a representative to clarify pricing requirements before making a final purchasing decision.
The Bottom Line
Alamo Smart Home is an appealing choice for customers in Texas. It provides a wide range of security equipment and home automation products. Most customers should be able to create a home security and automation system that fits their needs and budget. The company’s free quote service is an excellent way to help ensure its solutions will match your expectations.
However, the lack of pricing and contract information on the Alamo Smart Home website makes it difficult for customers to compare its services with other companies. It is not uncommon for security companies not to disclose pricing and contract information. We encourage customers to have thorough conversations with the sales representative to ensure they have a clear understanding of what the products and services will cost and any contractual obligations that may exist.
As we do not have many Alamo Smart Home reviews, we suggest comparing its products and services to our top-rated security companies to make sure it's the right choice for you.
