Not all home security companies offer this type of discount, but AMCO Security Systems does.

Limited Service Area

While AMCO Security is a “global” home security provider, it is relatively limited in who it can serve in the United States. AMCO Security Systems has 60 locations, but only services six locations within the state of Texas. Stateside, AMCO Security Systems services the following areas/cities:

• Dallas
• Central Texa
• Houston
• Austin
• San Antonio
• Rio Grande Valley

There are many home security companies that are restricted to one state or a select few cities, however, there are plenty of other providers within the industry that can service on a regional or national level. 

Undisclosed Pricing Information

Home security packages typically range in price, with the most basic form of equipment and monitoring being the least expensive option. Most home security companies will disclose pricing information for all home security packages, allowing prospective customers to determine what package best suits their needs. However, AMCO Security Systems has not many of its pricing information public which makes it difficult for customers considering the company to decide whether or not the service is worth pursuing.

Undisclosed Contract Information

Many home security companies require customers to agree to a contract. Since expensive equipment has to be installed and brought up to operational standards, companies want at least some sort of guarantee that the monitoring service will be paid for for a specific period of time. Many customer complaints surround contract disputes, whether it is difficulty canceling when the contract is up or not understanding the terms of the agreement. To help limit these conflicts, many home security companies will make contract information public. AMCO Security Systems has not made any information regarding potential contracts available to prospective clients. There is no way to know if there is a term limit, early termination penalties/costs, or moneyback guarantees.
