The Latest in Home Security Solutions: Keeping Your Home Safe
Today's home security solutions: a cellular touchscreen panel with battery backup, AI cameras, smart locks, leak detection, and fire and CO monitoring.
Today's home security solutions combine intrusion protection, cameras, smart locks, and life safety sensors in one system you control from your phone. At the center is a smart touchscreen panel with built-in cellular communication and a backup battery, so the system stays connected even when the power or internet goes out. Here is what a current Sting Alarm system can include.
Keeping your home safe means keeping up with how burglars, fires, and leaks actually cause damage. For an overview of everything we install, see our home security systems and solutions page.
Complete security and safety in one system
Smart touchscreen panel
Our standard panel is the Qolsys IQ Panel 5. It has a built-in cellular communicator, so it does not depend on a landline, and we install a backup battery so it keeps working through a power outage. It is the hub for everything else in the system.
Encrypted wireless sensors
Door, window, motion, and glass break sensors use encrypted wireless communication, and the panel reports if a sensor is tampered with.
Smart security cameras
Smart home cameras send real-time alerts when they detect activity, and AI video analytics can tell people, animals, and vehicles apart. You will know when a stranger is in the yard or an unfamiliar car is in the driveway, without alerts every time the dog goes outside.
Video doorbell
A video doorbell lets you see and talk to whoever is at the door from anywhere, and records package deliveries and pickups.
Smart locks
Lock and unlock doors from your phone, give each family member a code, and set doors to lock automatically. Read more in smart door locks: say goodbye to hiding keys.
Smart energy
A smart thermostat and lighting controls in the same app help cut wasted energy, which matters in a Las Vegas or Phoenix summer.
Voice and smart home integration
Your system works with popular voice assistants, so you can lock doors, turn on lights as you pull into the driveway, or adjust the air conditioning before you walk in.
Cloud video storage
Video clips are stored in the cloud, so you have evidence for police and insurance even if a camera is damaged.
Fire and carbon monoxide protection
Fire can spread through a home in minutes, and carbon monoxide gives no warning at all. Monitored smoke and carbon monoxide detectors alert our monitoring center so help can be sent even when nobody is home.
Water leak detection
Water sensors in risky spots and a smart water valve can alert you to a leak and shut off your water automatically. Learn more about smart water leak detection.
Build the system that fits your home
Every system includes the control panel, backup battery, yard sign, and window decals. From there, you choose what to add:
- Sirens
- Door and window sensors
- Glass break detectors
- Additional motion detectors
- Smoke detectors
- Carbon monoxide detectors
- Indoor and outdoor cameras
- Video doorbell
- Smart locks and thermostat
- Water sensors and a smart water valve
When a sensor or panel battery runs low, the system reports it so it can be replaced before it becomes a problem.

Recent Google reviews
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!
★★★★★ I have been using STING ALARM for many years (home and office). The price for monitoring is good, but it is the customer service that keeps me. Always friendly and when an onsite visit is required, they take the time to explain the fixes/upgrades and to make sure your system is updated and working perfectly. Brayden (tech) was fantastic and went the extra mile to answer all my questions. 5 stars!
★★★★★ 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
