ASPEX Secure designs and installs professional security systems for Houston retail — boutiques, showrooms, convenience stores, and multi-location businesses. We build each system around your store layout: entrances, POS area, sales floor, and stockroom — cameras, intrusion detection, access control, and 24/7 monitoring, installed without closing your doors for a single hour.

US retailers lost over $100 billion to shrink in a single year, according to the National Retail Federation — and roughly a third of it came from employee theft, not shoplifters. Cameras alone don't stop either one. They show you what happened after it happened.
An integrated security system works while the incident is still unfolding. Door and window sensors detect entry the moment it occurs. Motion detectors with photo verification confirm what triggered the alarm. Glass-break sensors cover the storefront. Access control decides who gets into the stockroom — and logs when they did. And 24/7 monitoring means someone responds even when you're not watching the app.
Cameras are part of every system we install. They're just not the whole system.
Every store has the same weak points — and most break-ins and losses happen in predictable places. We design protection zone by zone, so every risk area gets the right device, not a generic kit.
The most common entry point — through the door or straight through the glass. DoorProtect sensors detect opening, GlassProtect reacts to breaking glass within 9 meters, and a visible StreetSiren deters before anyone tries.
Cash, card data, and staff interactions concentrate in one spot. A dedicated camera over the register syncs footage with system events, and a discreet Ajax Button gives staff a silent panic alarm.
Open hours bring shoplifting; closed hours bring intruders. MotionCam detectors send photo verification of what triggered the alarm, and camera coverage eliminates blind spots between displays.
This is where employee theft happens — a third of all retail shrink. Access control on the stockroom door logs who entered and when, and motion detection covers the room after hours.
Rarely watched, often targeted. Entry sensors and an outdoor camera cover the delivery zone, with alerts the moment the door opens outside scheduled hours.
Safes, documents, and DVRs live here. Entry protection plus time-based access codes — the manager gets in anytime, the cleaning crew only on schedule.
Not sure which zones your store needs covered? We'll walk it with you — free.
MotionCam sends a photo of what triggered the alarm straight to the monitoring center. Verified alarms get priority police dispatch in Houston — while unverified alarm calls are often deprioritized or fined.
Pet-immune sensors, smart algorithms, and photo confirmation mean your staff opening the door at 7 AM doesn't trigger a police call. In Houston, repeated false alarms lead to fines and non-response — Ajax is engineered to prevent them.
No drilling through walls, no cable runs across your sales floor, no dust on the merchandise. Encrypted wireless devices with up to 7 years of battery life install in hours — evenings and weekends included.
Add a location, and it appears in the same app with the same setup. Owner sees everything; each store manager sees only their store.

Not sure which setup fits your store? That's literally what the free assessment is for.
Running two locations — or ten — shouldn't mean ten different alarm codes, ten camera logins, and ten monitoring bills. With Ajax, every store lives in one app: you see all locations at a glance, get alerts labeled by store, and check any camera from anywhere.
Permissions follow your org chart. You and your operations manager see everything; each store manager controls only their own location — arm, disarm, and view cameras, nothing more. When an employee leaves, you revoke their access in seconds instead of changing codes at every site.
And when you open the next location, we install the same standardized setup and add it to your account — no new systems to learn, no separate contracts to sign.
Different stores face different risks — here's how we approach the most common ones.
Open floor plans and fitting rooms create blind spots, and storefront glass is the #1 entry point after hours. Camera coverage plus glass-break detection closes both gaps.
High-value display cases demand layered protection: photo-verified motion detection, a silent panic button at the counter, and priority-dispatch monitoring after close.
Controlled substances make pharmacies a target day and night. Access control on the dispensary area, camera coverage at pickup counters, and after-hours intrusion protection.
Long hours, cash on hand, and single-staff shifts raise the stakes. A silent panic button, POS camera, and entry sensors protect staff as much as inventory.
Frequent break-in targets with high-resale inventory. Reinforced entry detection, glass-break sensors, and visible cameras that deter before anyone tries.
Small, expensive, easy-to-carry merchandise. Dense camera coverage on the sales floor plus access control and motion detection in the stockroom.
Large open spaces with valuable displays and low staff density. Wide-angle MotionCam coverage and zoned sensors secure the space without cluttering the design.
The challenge isn't one store — it's consistency across all of them. Standardized systems, centralized app control, and one monitoring partner for every location.
The best retail security system is an integrated one — intrusion sensors, cameras, access control, and 24/7 monitoring working together, designed around your store's layout. Standalone DIY cameras show you what happened; an integrated system detects entry the moment it occurs, verifies the alarm with a photo, and dispatches a response. For most Houston stores, that means entry sensors on every door, glass-break protection on the storefront, cameras over the POS and sales floor, and access control on the stockroom.
The cost depends on four factors: entry points, camera coverage, access control, and monitoring — not just square footage. Unlike traditional alarm companies, ASPEX Secure has no 36-month contracts: you own your equipment outright, monitoring is month-to-month, and 0% financing is available. Assessments and quotes are free, and the price we quote is the price you pay.
Most small retail stores need 4–6 cameras: one at the entrance, one over the POS, one or two covering the sales floor, one in the stockroom, and optionally one on the exterior approach. Larger stores or layouts with blind spots may need more — camera count follows your floor plan, not your square footage.
Yes. The City of Houston requires an annual alarm permit for commercial properties with monitored security systems — operating without one can lead to fines and non-response to alarm calls. We walk you through the registration when we install your system, so you're covered from day one.
Yes. Cameras record what happened — alarms respond while it's happening. Door and window sensors detect entry instantly, glass-break sensors cover the storefront, and monitored alarms with photo verification get priority police dispatch in Houston. Cameras alone leave you reviewing footage of a break-in that already succeeded.
No. Ajax devices are wireless, so there's no drilling through walls or running cables across your sales floor. Most retail installations take a few hours and can be scheduled before opening, after closing, or on your slowest day — your store doesn't close.
Yes. Every location lives in one Ajax account: the owner sees all stores, each manager controls only theirs, and alerts arrive labeled by location. New stores are added to the same account with the same standardized setup — no separate systems or contracts.
Tell us about your store — or let us walk it with you. We'll map your risk zones, design a system around your actual layout, and give you an exact quote. Free, no obligation, and no 36-month contract at the end of it.
