BURGLAR ALARM SYSTEMS FOR ST. LOUIS, MO, HOMES

Smart Home Security System
St. Louis homes vary in size, style, and layout, which means security should never feel like a cookie-cutter solution. Westco designs burglar alarm systems that fit how you live, whether managing multiple entry points in a Chesterfield estate or monitoring daily activity at a Ladue property. Professional customization gives you coverage where it matters, without the blind spots common in DIY setups.
With Control4 integration, smartphone access, and personalized user codes, you stay connected and in control wherever you are. Track when family members arrive home, receive activity alerts, or set the system to lock doors and adjust lighting automatically when armed. These features work together to provide peace of mind and the confidence that your security is working in the background daily.

Video Surveillance Systems
High-definition surveillance cameras give you a clear view of your property at all times. With motion alerts and access to live feeds on your smartphone, you’ll know immediately if anything unusual happens around your home. Stay informed, whether you’re inside the house, at work, or traveling with a professional burglar alarm installation.
Visible cameras also serve as a powerful deterrent. St. Louis crime data shows that properties with security systems are far less likely to be targeted by opportunistic burglars. By making it clear that your home is monitored, you reduce the chances of becoming a target.
When incidents do occur, vital footage is easy to access. Westco’s smart security systems allow you to review recordings quickly and share them with local authorities, helping speed up investigations and providing clear evidence when needed most.

Alarm Systems
Burglar alarms are built on a simple but effective process: detect, alert, and respond. Sensors on doors and windows register an intrusion, motion detectors pick up unexpected movement, and glass break sensors respond instantly to shattered windows. Once triggered, the system alerts you through your smartphone and, if professionally monitored, connects with trained specialists who can dispatch help right away.
Westco’s team adapts each home security system to fit the property it protects. Larger estates may require layered coverage across multiple entry points, while historic homes often benefit from wireless alarm systems that avoid disrupting original architecture. Every installation is designed to cover blind spots and respond quickly to give families and businesses reliable protection.
St. Louis continues to face higher burglary risks compared to national averages, which makes strong alarm coverage more important than ever. With professional installation and support from Westco, your property stays one step ahead of potential threats.

Remote Access
Your security system should be just as easy to manage when you’re away as it is when you’re home. With Westco’s remote access features, you can arm or disarm your system from your smartphone, giving you confidence that your property is protected no matter where you are. User codes make it simple to manage access for kids, family members, or housekeepers, while activity tracking keeps you informed of who comes and goes.
For St. Louis residents who travel often or work long hours, smart alarm integration adds extra peace of mind. You’ll receive app alerts when something unusual occurs, and your system can automatically lock doors or adjust lighting when armed.

Fire/Life Safety
Protection goes beyond guarding against intruders with smart security systems. Westco integrates smoke, heat, and carbon monoxide detection into its security systems as a reliable safeguard against some of the most dangerous household threats.
During a crisis, these detectors do more than sound an alarm in your St. Louis home. They can trigger automated responses like shutting down HVAC systems to prevent smoke from spreading, unlocking doors for safe exit, and adjusting lighting to guide your family outside. These triggers save valuable time when every second counts.
With 24/7 professional burglar alarm monitoring, fast action is always taken—even if you’re asleep or miss a notification. That constant vigilance means your family’s safety doesn’t depend on being near your phone or hearing an alarm; it’s backed by trained specialists ready to respond immediately.

Environmental Detection
Water damage can be just as disruptive as a break-in, and it often comes with higher repair costs. Westco installs water leak sensors that detect problems at the earliest stage and can trigger automatic shutoff valves to stop flooding before it spreads.
For historic homes in Ladue or properties in older neighborhoods near downtown St. Louis, proactive protection is especially valuable. Older plumbing can be unpredictable, and a small leak can quickly escalate into significant structural damage. By adding environmental detection, homeowners protect both their investment and their peace of mind.
High-risk weather periods bring even greater urgency. Heavy rains or freezing temperatures can overwhelm basements, crawl spaces, or plumbing systems. Early detection gives you the chance to respond quickly, minimizing damage and avoiding costly restoration work.
