Moving into a new home in the Triad is exciting. Whether you just closed a home in Kernersville, Greensboro, Winston-Salem, High Point, or surrounding North Carolina communities, there’s a lot to think about.

Paint colors. Utilities. Internet. Schools.

But one thing many new homeowners forget to reset?

Their security.

At ACE-HTI, we’ve been designing and installing professionally monitored home security systems across the Triad since 1983. And we always tell new homeowners:

The best time to set up real protection is before you fully settle in.

Here’s what that looks like.

1. Start With a Monitored Security Foundation

Upgrading a single lock or adding one camera can be helpful — but on its own, it’s not a complete solution.

True protection comes from a professionally monitored security system that connects:

• Door and window sensors
• Motion detection
• Smoke and carbon monoxide detectors
• Video doorbells and cameras
• Smart locks
• Mobile app access

With professional monitoring, if an alarm is triggered:

• A trained monitoring center responds
• Emergency services can be dispatched

You’re protected even if you’re asleep, traveling, or unable to respond.

At ACE-HTI, we specialize in complete, monitored home security systems in Kernersville, Greensboro, and throughout the Triad — because layered protection is what truly works.

2. Reset Access to Your Home

Once your monitored system is in place, access control becomes smarter.

Instead of just re-keying a lock, integrated smart locks allow you to:

• Assign unique codes
• Remove access instantly
• Track entry activity
• Lock or unlock remotely

When tied into your monitored security system, your locks become part of your overall protection — not just standalone hardware.

3. Integrate Life Safety Protection

Many homeowners don’t realize that smoke and carbon monoxide detection can be professionally monitored, too.

With a monitored system:

• Fire alerts can be dispatched even if you’re not home
• You receive instant mobile notifications
• Your home is protected 24/7

ACE-HTI integrates life safety devices into complete monitored systems — because safety isn’t just about intrusion.

4. Make Video Part of the Bigger Picture

Video doorbells and cameras are incredibly popular — and for good reason.

But cameras are most effective when they’re connected to a monitored security system that can:

• Send intelligent alerts
• Store footage securely
• Provide cloud backup
• Supervise system health

At ACE-HTI, we don’t install standalone cameras. We design complete systems where video works alongside intrusion detection and professional monitoring for full-home coverage.

Why ACE-HTI Focuses on Monitored Security Systems

As a local Triad security company, our goal isn’t to install one-off devices.

It’s to design long-term protection for your home.

That means:

• Professionally monitored alarm systems
• Integrated smart home security
• Reliable local service
• Scalable solutions as your needs grow

We believe true home security in Kernersville, Greensboro, and Winston-Salem should be comprehensive — not pieced together.
