Smart Shield Systems

Security Systems Installer in Hillcrest, San Diego - 24/7 Monitoring | Smart Shield Systems

Hillcrest security isn’t one-size-fits-all — mixed-use storefronts along University & 5th, busy nightlife corridors, alley access behind retail, and garage/amenity spaces in mid-rises all change how we design and deploy. Smart Shield Systems routes field techs via University Ave / Washington St / 5th Ave / 6th Ave / Robinson Ave / Normal St / Park Blvd / SR-163 / I-8 for fast, same-day site visits (after dispatch), assists with City of San Diego alarm permits, and delivers integrated burglary, fire, video, and access control with upfront pricing. Call (844) 477-7627.

We specify durable, low-maintenance hardware, protect finishes during install, and hand off clean documentation (zone maps, door schedules, user lists, training videos).
