Home Security, Designed Around Your Family

Nighthawk Security offers a personalized approach to residential security. We discuss your home’s layout, your family’s routines, your budget, and any health or mobility concerns, then custom design a security system or PERS (Personal Emergency Response System) with the technologies best suited for your home. We don’t start from a package and work backward. We start with a conversation.

A System Built Around How You Actually Live

Every home is different, and so is every family’s sense of what needs protecting most. That’s why we think outside the box instead of handing you a one-size-fits-all panel. A young family worried about a busy street might prioritize door and window sensors and a video doorbell. A homeowner who travels often might prioritize remote monitoring and smart lock control. A family caring for an aging parent might prioritize a PERS option over anything else. We help you figure out which of those situations actually describes your home, then build around it.

What Goes Into a Residential System

Door and window sensors

Door and window sensors catch a break-in at the point of entry, the most common way an intruder gets into a home.
Wireless motion sensor for home security

Motion sensors

Motion sensors cover open interior spaces like living rooms and hallways, so a system can detect movement even if every entry point wasn’t triggered.

Glass break sensor

Glassbreak sensors

Glassbreak sensors detect the specific sound of a shattered window, adding a layer of protection beyond the window and door contacts themselves.
Fire, smoke and carbon monoxide detector

Fire, smoke, and carbon monoxide detection

Fire, smoke, and carbon monoxide detection connects to the same monitoring center as your intrusion alarm, so a kitchen fire or a faulty furnace gets a response even while you’re asleep.
First Alert video doorbell

Video

Video lets you see who’s at your door or check in on your home from your phone, with footage reviewable remotely through the Total Connect 2.0 app.

PERS (Personal Emergency Response System)

PERS (Personal Emergency Response System) gives an aging or at-risk family member a way to call for help with the press of a button, without needing to reach a phone.

Proactive Visual Monitoring

Proactive Visual Monitoring adds a deterrent layer for homes that want one. Our central station watches the video and speaks to people on your property through installed hardware. Learn about Proactive Visual Monitoring →

We help you decide which of these actually fits your household instead of bundling all of them into every quote.

24/7 Monitoring You Can Count On

Every system is monitored around the clock by a UL Listed, TMA Five Diamond central station, with redundant centers in Florida, New Jersey, and California. If a sensor triggers, a trained operator reviews the alert and can dispatch police, fire, or EMS while you’re asleep or away, and will attempt to reach you or the contacts on your account first to confirm the alarm is real.

Smart Home Control with Total Connect 2.0

Arm and disarm your system, check sensor status, and get real-time alerts from your phone with the Total Connect 2.0 app, so your home is never out of reach. Homeowners can also pair the app with smart thermostats, lighting, and locks, so the system does more than watch the doors, it adjusts the house itself when you arm or disarm.
