Protect Your House, Secure Your Family
Even safe neighborhoods like Summerlin see break-ins. How a professionally installed burglar alarm system protects your home and family in Las Vegas.
The best way to protect your house and your family is a professionally installed, monitored burglar alarm system: sensors on every entry point, a siren that scares intruders off, and a monitoring center that sends help when you cannot. Sting Alarm installs these systems for homes across Las Vegas, including Summerlin, and in Phoenix.

Your home is your sanctuary, the place where you should feel safe. But even in the most peaceful areas, burglaries still happen. That is why a burglar alarm and a complete home security system are worth having.
Summerlin and other "safe" neighborhoods
Summerlin, in the western Las Vegas Valley, is known for its well-kept homes, parks, trails, and strong sense of community, and it has long had a reputation as one of the safer parts of the valley. But safe is not the same as immune. Break-ins happen in every neighborhood, and they are easier when a house sits empty, such as during summer travel when families leave for days or weeks at a time.
How a burglar alarm system protects your home
A house burglar alarm system detects when a door or window is opened or broken and sounds a loud siren to scare off intruders and alert you. A modern system also includes:
- A smart touchscreen panel. Our standard panel is the Qolsys IQ Panel 5, which has a built-in cellular communicator and a backup battery, so it keeps working during a power outage and does not depend on a phone line.
- Motion and glass break detectors that cover the inside of the home.
- Phone alerts and app control, so you can arm, disarm, and check on the house from anywhere.
- Professional monitoring from our monitoring center, which can send help when an alarm goes off.
- Cameras and smart locks if you want to see who is at the door and lock up remotely.
Why professional installation matters
A professional installer sets the system up correctly, tests every device, and places the panel and sensors where they cover the real entry points in your home. Many manufacturers also require professional installation to keep the warranty valid. Hiring a licensed security company gets you correct installation, reliable operation, and warranty protection.

4.9 stars from 1,161 Google reviews★★★★★ Sting Alarm has been great to work with. Had an issue that needed a field tech to come out. Mike was dispatched and worked on the issue - quickly identifying the issue and resolving it for me. Friendly and great service!
★★★★★ From the beginning, Sting Alarm has been so easy to work with. From Jeff in Sales, to scheduling, and finally when our tech came out in a Saturday for the installation, everything was seamless. Our tech Isaac was fantastic. He was neat and cleaned up after the installation, and took time with me and my husband to get us set up on the app. He was patient, walking us through all the features.… Read on Google
★★★★★ Mike in service is an amazing tech. This morning he came out to replace our faulty smoke detector. He was professional, efficient, really friendly and took the time to explain everything clearly. The whole process was quick and stress-free—highly recommend Mike and Sting Alarm
Frequently asked questions
How does a burglar alarm system work?
Sensors on doors and windows, plus motion and glass break detectors, report to a control panel. When the system is armed and a sensor trips, the siren sounds, you get an alert on your phone, and our monitoring center is notified so help can be sent.
Do I need a home alarm in a low-crime neighborhood?
Low crime is not no crime. Homes in quiet neighborhoods still get broken into, especially when the family is away. A monitored alarm protects the house whether you are home, at work, or on vacation.
Why choose professional installation over a DIY alarm?
A licensed installer places the panel and sensors where they cover the real entry points, tests every device, and connects the system to professional monitoring. Some manufacturers also require professional installation to keep the warranty valid.
