The short answer

What a home security system includes

It is three things working together: alarm sensors that know when a door or window opens, cameras that show you what is happening outside, and a phone app that tells you right away. iGTD wires all of it, so there are no batteries to charge and no cameras dropping off the Wi-Fi. It is part of the residential security systems we install across the five boroughs.

  • Alarm and siren
  • Hardwired cameras
  • Indoor video monitor
  • Alerts on your phone
  • You own the equipment
Included in every install
  1. 01A walk of the house to plan sensors, cameras and the cable route
  2. 02Sensors on the doors and windows you choose
  3. 03Hardwired cameras on the doors, driveway and yard
  4. 04A recorder in the house and an indoor monitor
  5. 05Phone app setup for everyone in the family
  6. 06A walkthrough: arm, disarm, watch live and find a clip

Protection for every kind of NYC home

We fit the system to the house, not the other way around.

  • Single-family houses

    Front and back doors, driveway, yard and garage.

  • Brownstones and townhouses

    Stoop, garden level, rear yard and the roof.

  • Two- and three-family homes

    Separate doors, shared hallway, one system.

  • Condo and co-op apartments

    Entry door, windows and an indoor monitor.

  • Package drop spots

    Porches, vestibules and side gates.

  • Homes with a business on site

Home alarm systems

Contacts on the doors and windows tell the alarm when something opens. Arm it when you leave or go to bed, and a break-in sets off the siren and sends an alert to your phone at the same moment. You can arm and disarm from the app, so nobody has to rush to the panel. The alarm comes with 24/7 monitoring, with no contract: cancel anytime. A video doorbell installation adds the front door to the same app.

  • Contacts on doors and windows
  • Siren plus a phone alert
  • 24/7 monitoring, cancel anytime

Cameras and an indoor monitor

Cameras go where people actually come and go: the front door, the driveway, the back yard and the package drop. They record to a recorder in the house, and an indoor monitor shows the cameras without picking up a phone. For a camera-only job, see our home security camera installation.

  • Doors, driveway, yard and packages covered
  • Recording stays in your house
  • Indoor monitor plus the phone app

Home network cabling

The same crew that wires the cameras can run network cable through the house. Wired internet to the office, the TV and the Wi-Fi access points, all landing in one tidy spot. Outside runs go in conduit, like this one on a brick wall, so they last and look clean. The same run can feed a home intercom system with a screen on every floor.

  • Wired internet to the rooms that need it
  • Outdoor runs protected in conduit
  • Everything lands in one place

Home security system questions

Still have a question? Call 929-299-8400.

How much does it cost to have a home security system installed?

It depends on the number of doors and windows with sensors, the number of cameras, the indoor monitor and how far the cable runs. iGTD gives you a free on-site estimate and a written price before any work starts.

Do I have to sign a contract?

No contract is required. iGTD installs systems you own, and the cameras and app work without a monthly plan. The alarm comes with 24/7 monitoring, and you can cancel the monitoring anytime.

Do you need a license to install security systems in NY?

New York State licenses installers through the Department of State. iGTD Technology is a NY State licensed security installer.

What security system do burglars hate?

The kind they can see and hear. Cameras at the doors and driveway, a siren that goes off the second a door opens, and an alert on your phone so you can check the video right away.

Are wired cameras better than wireless for a house?

For most homes, yes. A wired camera gets power and video on one cable, so there are no batteries to change and no Wi-Fi dropouts.

Can you install a security system in an apartment?

Yes. iGTD installs sensors, indoor cameras and a video monitor inside apartments, and works with the building's entry system where it allows.
