Security your whole community can feel

Homeowners choose a gated or HOA community for the sense of safety it brings. Keeping that promise means gates that open for the right people, cameras that see who comes and goes, and amenities that stay protected after hours, all without a constant stream of complaints to the board.

Alarm Masters works with HOA boards and community managers to design gated community security that is easy for residents to live with and simple for you to manage. We install and service gate access control, entry systems, cameras and monitoring, and we stay on call when something needs attention.

What we install

Community security from gate to clubhouse

Gate access control

Gates that work for residents, not against them

A gate that sticks open, a lost fob that still works, or a guest stuck at the keypad all erode trust in the board. We install gate access control systems that are reliable at the arm and simple in the office, so your manager can add or remove a resident in seconds and see a full entry history whenever it is needed.

How automated gates strengthen community security →
  • Resident credentials by fob, card, mobile app or vehicle tag
  • Instant add and remove from one cloud dashboard
  • Video entry so residents can open the gate for guests from their phone
  • Entry logs and camera footage tied to every gate event
  • Faults repaired within our 48-hour guaranteed turnaround
By community type

Built for every kind of neighborhood

Gated communities

Your gate is the front door for every home inside it. We install gate access control, video entry and cameras set up to capture every vehicle at each entrance so residents glide through, guests are verified and the board has a clear record of who came in.

Master-planned communities

Large communities with several entrances, parks and amenity centers need a system that scales. We tie gates, cameras and buildings together on one platform your management company can run from anywhere.

Non-gated HOAs

Even without a gate, neighborhood security cameras at entrances, pools, parks and mail kiosks help deter vandalism and give the board answers when something happens. Live monitoring adds an extra layer after dark.

Townhome and condo associations

Shared garages, pedestrian gates and common hallways benefit from access control and cameras that keep residents comfortable and keep outsiders out.

Board and manager questions

HOA and gated community security questions

Still have a question? Call 281-933-3900.

What is the best gate access control system for an HOA?

The best system is the one residents find easy and your manager finds simple to run. For most communities that means cloud-managed access with fobs or mobile credentials, vehicle tags for the resident lane, and video entry for guests. We recommend options based on your gate hardware, traffic and priorities.

Where should HOA security cameras go?

Start with every gate and entrance, then cover pools, playgrounds, clubhouses, mail kiosks and maintenance areas. Cameras at entrances should be set up to capture vehicles clearly, while amenity cameras focus on doors and common areas.

Can residents open the gate for guests from their phone?

Yes. With video and telephone entry, a guest calls from the gate and the resident can see them and open the gate from their phone, wherever they are.

Can you work with our existing gate operators?

In most cases, yes. We connect new access control and entry systems to the gate operators you already have, and we will let you know if any hardware is due for replacement.

Does live video monitoring make sense for an HOA?

For many communities it does. Monitoring after hours at entrances and amenities deters vandalism and trespassing, and operators can respond in real time instead of the board finding out the next morning.

Can you take over service from our current provider?

Yes. We can take over monitoring and service for your gates, cameras and alarms, review what is in place and recommend only the upgrades that make sense.
