Family-Owned and Protecting San Diego County Homes for 40+ Years
San Diego Home Security Systems
& Installation
A home security system only protects you if it covers the way your house is built and the way your family lives. Across San Diego County, a coastal home with wide sliding doors and a North County property with a detached garage and a long driveway have very different weak points. Progressive Technology Security Systems is a family-owned, state-licensed security company that has designed and installed residential security systems for more than 40 years.
We walk your property first, then build a system of alarms, cameras, smart entry, and fire protection around it, all backed by 24/7 professional monitoring.
✓ Family-owned and operated
✓ State-licensed: ACO Lic. #5513 | C10 Lic. #702990
✓ 24/7 professional monitoring

Phil Came out to give me a quote on a security system for my new Jewelry Appraisal Office. He was on time and thorough. His wealth of knowledge in security for my industry saved me a lot of headache with my insurance company. Everything he told me I would need, is exactly what my insurance company required. He did not try to sell me on anything I did not need and was very professional and honest.

Personalized Security for Every San Diego Home
No two homes or families are alike. We work closely with you to assess your property, understand your needs, and design a system that works best for your space and daily routines. Whether you're home during the day, out traveling, or managing a busy household, we help you stay in control and protected at all times.
Common Home Security Gaps We Close Across San Diego County
Most homes we assess already have some form of protection. The problem is usually what the existing setup leaves uncovered. Closing those gaps does not always mean more equipment. It means better placement and a real response plan. These are the gaps we look for first on every residential walkthrough.
- Unwatched entry points. Rear sliders, side gates, and garage service doors are easy to overlook. A system that only covers the front door leaves every other way in unprotected.
- Camera blind spots. Cameras mounted wherever an outlet happened to be often miss side yards, driveways, and back fences. That leaves gaps in the footage you need after an incident.
- No one responding while you are away.
An alert on your phone does little good when you are on a flight or asleep. With professional monitoring, our central station acts on the signal for you.
- Silent threats. Carbon monoxide has no smell and no color. A standalone smoke detector sounds an alarm without calling anyone, so if no one is home, no one hears it.
- Empty homes. A vacation property or a house left empty during extended travel needs protection that does not depend on a neighbor checking in.

Residential Security Services for San Diego Homes
Our San Diego Residential Security Systems Include:
✓ Burglar & Home Alarm Systems
Our burglar alarm systems are the foundation of residential protection. Each system includes a touchscreen keypad and remote access, with optional glassbreak sensors and infrared motion detectors added where your layout calls for them. Every alarm connects to 24/7 monitoring, so a triggered sensor reaches our central station, not just your phone. Explore our home alarm systems to see how we design intrusion protection around your entry points and daily routines.
✓ Fire & Carbon Monoxide Protection
Our residential fire alarm systems go beyond standalone smoke detectors. Monitored smoke and carbon monoxide alarms report directly to our central station, which responds right away even when you are not home. We install to NFPA code requirements, and we can add or replace detectors through our smoke detector installation service. Fire and CO protection ties into the same system and app you use for intrusion, so everything stays in one place.
✓ Home Security Cameras & Video Surveillance
Our home security cameras give you indoor and outdoor coverage you can view from your smartphone. We install high-definition, night vision, weatherproof, and motion-detection cameras placed to cover driveways, side yards, and entrances. For detached structures or remote gates where running power is cost-prohibitive, we offer fully solar cameras with battery backup that keep recording overnight. Every camera placement is planned during the walkthrough.
✓ Smart Entry & Access Control
Manage who comes and goes without handing out spare keys. We install smart door locks, integrated video doorbells, and keyless entry systems you control from your phone. For properties with driveway or entry gates, our
door and gate access control systems add the same remote control at the property line. Homeowners who prefer codes over keys can use
keypad access control, with codes you add or remove as your household changes.
Control Your Home Security From Anywhere, 24/7
Your system should work as hard when you are across town as it does when you are home. With remote access, you manage your entire home security system from a smartphone, tablet, or computer, any time of day. When a sensor trips overnight or a delivery arrives while you are at work, you see it as it happens and decide what to do next.
- Arm and disarm your alarm remotely
- View live camera feeds from inside and outside your home
- Receive real-time alerts when a sensor or camera is triggered
- Unlock doors for family, guests, or service providers
Remote access puts you in control. Our 24/7 alarm monitoring makes sure someone acts on a signal even when you cannot. Together, they give you both visibility and a professional response.

Home Security FAQs
What does a home security system from Progressive Technology include?
Every system is custom designed after we walk your property, so there is no fixed package. Most homes combine a burglar alarm with a touchscreen keypad, indoor and outdoor cameras, monitored smoke and carbon monoxide detection, and smart entry such as video doorbells or keyless locks. Everything connects to 24/7 professional monitoring and to an app you control from your phone.
Is Progressive Technology a licensed home security company in California?
Yes. We hold Alarm Company Operator ACO Lic. #5513, Electrical C10 Lic. #702990, and Alarm Company Qualified Manager ACQ #2668. You can look up each license number with the California state agency that issued it before you sign anything, and we encourage every homeowner to do so.
Can I control my home security system from my phone?
Yes. You can arm or disarm your alarm, view live camera feeds, receive real-time alerts, and manage smart locks from your smartphone, tablet, or computer. Remote access works alongside our 24/7 monitoring, so you have visibility and our central station still responds when you cannot.
Do you monitor smoke and carbon monoxide alarms 24/7?
Yes. Our monitored smoke and carbon monoxide alarms report to our central station around the clock, and it responds right away even when no one is home. That is the key difference from standalone smoke detectors, which sound an alarm but do not summon help.
Which San Diego County residential communities do you serve?
We install and monitor home security systems throughout San Diego County. That includes San Diego, Escondido, Encinitas, Oceanside, Carlsbad, Chula Vista, San Marcos, Vista, Point Loma, La Jolla, Del Mar, Rancho Santa Fe, and Carmel Valley. Our office is in Escondido.
Do you offer financing for home security installation?
Yes. Optional labor financing is available over 3 to 5 year terms, bundled with a full-service contract that covers maintenance. Our standard service term without financing is 2 years. We walk through both options during your free consultation.
