Any recommendations? Currently I do not have a system, but we do have Cat5 cables running from a central location to various outdoor camera potential locations. Want someone that can provide good advice on different types of setups.

Want some of the basics:
Outdoor cameras
Window/Door sensors
motion sensors
Mobile viewing, etc.

I saw one North Houston rec for LightHouse Technologies on an older Tomball thread?

Lighthouse is good, they kinda specialize in high end home automation.

KMR Home Automation is another in West Houston Ive heard good things about.

I will say, though, none of them do cameras extremely well. They all use the same ****ty Vivant/Arlo/Ring type cameras. They're fine if you want to see if kids are playing in the driveway, but you're not going to pan/tilt/zoom and read a license plate 50 yards away. For cameras I would suggest talking to Dahua Technologies.

Call my neighbor Zeke, he owns American Sentinel Fire and Security and set us up with new sensors after our new windows. We'll get some cameras eventually. https://www.facebook.com/htxfire/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/american-sentinel-fire-&-security-llc/
