Residential Security Systems
Professional Residential Security Systems in La Jolla and San Diego
At La Jolla Security Systems, we know that feeling safe at home is essential for you and your family. That’s why we install and support comprehensive residential security systems throughout San Diego County. Our services include alarm systems, security cameras, environmental sensors, access control, and smart home automation. Since 2009, families have trusted us to design reliable security solutions that fit their daily lives and keep their homes protected.
Serving San Diego County Homes
Installing Google Nest doorbell cameras (left) and cameras (right) is an affordable way for San Diego homeowners to remotely monitor their property from their smartphone.
We’re proud to serve homeowners in La Jolla, San Diego, Carlsbad, Encinitas, Poway, and nearby communities. Our trusted security team understands the unique needs of each neighborhood, from coastal properties to inland homes. We stay updated on local crime trends and city alarm permit requirements to ensure your system is effective and compliant. When you work with us, you’ll have a team that knows your community and cares about your safety.
Custom Design and Professional Installation
Every home is different, and your security system should reflect that. We evaluate your home’s layout, main entry points, and how your family moves through each space. This helps us design a system that protects vulnerable areas while fitting seamlessly into your daily routines. Our professional installation ensures each device is placed correctly and connected for reliable performance from day one.
Professionally-Installed Security Systems vs DIY Options
You may wonder if a DIY system like Ring, SimpliSafe, or Google Nest is enough. While these can offer basic security, professionally installed systems provide higher reliability, battery and cellular backup, and direct connection to a monitoring center for emergencies. Our team installs and calibrates each device to reduce false alarms and ensure everything works when you need it most.
Residential Access Control
We can install Wi-Fi-enabled smart locks on your home for convenient keyless access control (top), and integrate them into a comprehensive home automation system (bottom).
Managing who enters your home shouldn’t be a hassle. Our residential access control options include smart locks for keyless entry, keypad entry systems for secure access without keys, and integration with your security system to track who comes and goes. Access control makes it simple to keep your home safe, whether you’re letting in family, guests, or trusted service providers.
Smart Home Automation
Your security system can do more than keep your home safe; it can also make daily life easier. We integrate smart home devices so you can adjust lighting, thermostats, locks, and garage doors from your phone or touchscreen panel. Systems work seamlessly with Alexa and Google Assistant, giving you voice control of your home’s most-used features. Imagine locking up for the night, adjusting the thermostat, and turning off lights, all without leaving your bed.
Alarm Systems with Professional Monitoring
NOTE: We still don’t know which company does the 24/7 staffed monitoring. Is it Accel? Rick didn’t say they do it, but he posted a link to a video from their site, so are we supposed to assume that’s the residential monitoring company they recommend?
Imagine knowing that if something happens at home, help is on the way, even if you can’t make the call yourself. Our alarm systems include control panels, entry sensors for doors and windows, motion detectors for key living spaces, glass break sensors for windows, and carbon monoxide detectors for air safety. With professional monitoring, XYZ monitoring company is alerted right away if an alarm triggers and will contact emergency services for you. You can feel confident that your family is protected around the clock.
Environmental Sensors Can Enhance Your Home’s Overall Security
Security and environmental sensors work together to protect your home from multiple risks. We install indoor, outdoor, and doorbell cameras so you can check footage anytime from your smartphone. Video cameras strongly deter potential intruders and provide clear evidence of attempted break-ins if needed. We can also install these environmental sensors to protect you and your property further:
- Smoke and heat detectors for early fire alerts
- Carbon monoxide detectors to monitor indoor air quality
- Flood sensors to detect leaks before they cause significant damage
With these systems, you can focus on daily life knowing your home is covered.

FAQs About Home Security Systems
What is included in a residential security system?
A complete home security system usually includes a control panel, entry sensors for doors and windows, motion detectors, glass break sensors, alarm sirens, and security cameras. Many residential security systems also feature environmental sensors such as carbon monoxide detectors and flood sensors for added safety.
Do you install smart home devices with a security system?
Our home security systems integrate with smart home devices like smart locks, thermostats, lighting, and garage door controls. This smart home automation makes managing security and comfort simple through one control panel or app.
Should I choose professional monitoring or self-monitoring?
We recommend professional monitoring for all alarm systems because it ensures emergency services are contacted when your security system detects an issue. Self-monitoring is available, but professional monitoring plans offered with traditional home security systems provide greater peace of mind and faster emergency response. We can help you choose the best security system for your specific needs.
How does professional installation work?
Our professional installation process includes mounting and wiring devices like indoor and outdoor cameras, connecting the alarm system to your Wi-Fi and cellular backup, testing each sensor and motion detector, and training your family members on how to use the system.
What are glass break sensors, and why are they important?
Glass break sensors detect the sound frequency of breaking glass from windows or doors. They add another layer to your home security system by triggering alarms when forced entry occurs through windows, complementing entry sensors and motion sensors for full protection.
Do your security systems work with Alexa and Google Assistant?
Yes, our professionally installed systems integrate with Alexa and Google Assistant for voice control of smart devices, lighting, thermostats, and other home security features. This makes managing your home security system convenient and hands-free.
Can I view my security cameras on my phone?
Yes, you can view indoor and outdoor cameras through your smartphone app at any time. Video cameras connect to cloud video storage so you can review recordings later and keep footage safe.
Do you install carbon monoxide and flood detection sensors?
Yes, we install carbon monoxide detectors and flood sensors as part of a complete home security system. These environmental sensors provide safety from hidden hazards like gas leaks or water damage.
Will my security system continue working during power outages?
Yes, most of our home security systems include battery backup and a cellular connection to ensure your alarm system and monitoring services continue working if the power or Wi-Fi goes out.
What areas do you serve with your residential security systems?
We provide professionally installed home security systems in La Jolla, San Diego, Carlsbad, Encinitas, Poway, and surrounding communities across San Diego County.
Can I control my garage door with my home security system?
Yes, smart garage door controls integrate with your security system so you can open or close your garage remotely using your app, touchscreen control panel, or compatible smart home devices.
How do motion detectors work in a home security system?
Motion detectors use infrared sensors to detect heat changes from movement in an area. They trigger alarms or alerts as part of your security system and can activate cameras or lighting as an added safety feature.
