Which home security devices should I install first?

Before You Decide
Home Security Questions, Answered
Practical answers for Dallas–Fort Worth homeowners planning cameras, alarms or connected-home upgrades.
Can you use the cameras or alarm equipment already in my home?
Possibly. PGC reviews compatible cameras, wiring, sensors and other security devices to determine whether repair, reuse or an upgrade makes sense. Compatibility and equipment condition determine what can remain.
Will the system work with my Wi-Fi and internet connection?
PGC plans around your home, Wi-Fi coverage, power and the selected equipment. Share any weak-signal areas or connection problems before installation so they can be considered in the recommendation.
Can you install Ring, Google Nest or connected-home devices?
PGC offers Ring and Google Nest installation and compatible connected-home solutions. Product fit depends on your wiring, power, HVAC equipment where relevant, Wi-Fi and the features you want.
Can I view cameras and control the system from my phone?
Compatible systems support remote viewing, activity notifications and mobile control. The available functions and whether they share one app depend on the equipment and services selected for your home.
Is there a long-term contract for PGC home monitoring?
PGC’s published Alarm.com home monitoring plans are month to month. You can cancel with 30 days’ written notice and no cancellation fee. Equipment and installation are quoted separately.
Does the $34.99 home alarm plan include cameras?
Home Monitor covers alarm monitoring and app control. For video, Home Video is $54.99/month and supports up to four cameras, including a video doorbell. Home Video+ is $64.99/month and supports up to eight cameras with continuous recording using a separately quoted on-site recorder.
Will my home alarm still report if my Wi-Fi goes down?
The Alarm.com panel uses a cellular connection to report alarms when home internet is down, provided the panel has power and cellular service. Camera streaming and cloud uploads depend on internet access. Ask the installer to show you which devices have backup power during the walkthrough.
How do I avoid too many unwanted camera alerts?
Tell us which activity matters, where it occurs and when you want notifications. Available detection features, camera placement and alert settings depend on the selected system; no system can promise perfect detection.
Will you show everyone in my household how to use it?
PGC includes a walkthrough of the installed system. Let us know who needs instruction and which tasks matter, such as using the app, reviewing recordings, managing access and adjusting notifications.
What happens if I move or change providers?
Before approving the scope, clarify equipment ownership, account administration, removal or reinstallation costs, and any service-transfer or cancellation terms. These depend on the selected equipment and agreement.
What if a camera, doorbell or alarm device stops working?
Contact PGC with the device model, symptoms, when the issue began and any recent power or internet changes. Repair options, visit availability, charges and warranty coverage need to be confirmed for your system.
What information do you need for a home security quote?
Share your city, the areas you want to cover, existing equipment, main concerns and preferred timing. Photos or model details can help identify compatibility questions before a site review.
