Otium Security
Monitored alarm, surveillance, and access control — engineered like everything else we build.
Security is not an accessory we add to a smart home. At Otium it is its own division — with its own platform, its own monitoring, and its own standards.
Otium Security systems are built on professional-grade DSC Neo and Qolsys IQ panels with dual-path communication — cellular and internet simultaneously, so the line to the monitoring station cannot be cut. Every system is monitored 24/7 by a UL-Listed central station right here in North Texas, with automatic police and fire dispatch: smoke, heat, and fire zones stay live around the clock, armed or not. You manage it all from the Alarm.com app — arming, video, users, history — and it ties into your Control4 scenes so Goodnight arms the house.
Two things our clients value most: every monitored client receives an insurance-ready monitoring certificate — documentation most carriers accept for homeowner premium discounts — and if you already have a system, we perform clean takeovers: we keep your existing wiring and sensors, document every zone, and move you to modern equipment and honest monitoring without ripping out walls.

Common questions
Who monitors the alarm?
A UL-Listed central station in North Texas, 24/7, with automatic police and fire dispatch. Smoke, heat, and fire zones stay live around the clock — armed or not.
What happens if someone cuts the line?
Nothing. Our systems communicate over cellular and internet simultaneously — dual-path — so cutting a wire cuts nothing.
Can this lower my homeowner’s insurance?
Every monitored client receives an insurance-ready monitoring certificate — documentation most carriers accept for premium discounts. Ask your carrier about their monitored-alarm credit.
I already have an alarm system. Do I have to rip it out?
No. We perform clean takeovers: we keep your existing wiring and sensors, re-document every zone, and move you to modern equipment and honest monitoring without opening walls.
