Purpose-built security and surveillance for Austin and the Texas Hill Country.
Austin security scope adjusts to the Central Texas reality: long ranch driveways that need vehicle-detection integration, waterfront perimeters that need marine-adjacent camera hardware, and severe-weather awareness that ties the surveillance system into storm-mode automation. Downtown Austin high-rise installs use different tooling: floor-level access control, smart locks, and building-provided IP infrastructure integrated with the resident's automation.
Matrix Digital Systems dispatches from our Central Texas team to Austin and the Texas Hill Country — including West Lake Hills, Rollingwood, Lakeway, Barton Creek, Tarrytown, and Bee Cave. We handle camera coverage design, NVR sizing, access-control layout, gate intercom integration, and mobile-app configuration with two-factor authentication. Engagement range for security and surveillance in Austin is typically $20,000–$250,000+.

Austin + security and surveillance — frequently asked.
Do long ranch driveways need special integration?
Yes. Hill Country ranch properties with quarter-mile driveways get vehicle-detection driveway alarms integrated with cameras and gate lighting — the house knows a vehicle has arrived and the gate is triggered before the vehicle reaches the front.
How does severe-weather integration work?
NOAA severe-weather alerts feed the automation system. A tornado warning in the county triggers a Storm scene — cameras record continuously to local NVR, perimeter lights illuminate the safe-room hallway, family devices receive notifications. The security system participates in the storm response rather than sitting isolated.
Can downtown Austin high-rise units get smart-lock integration?
Yes. SALTO, Yale, and August smart locks integrate with the building's access system and the resident's Crestron or Savant automation. Doorbell notifications, entry logging, and remote unlock work alongside the building infrastructure rather than fighting it.
Do you install smart locks and gate intercoms?
Yes. Smart locks from SALTO, Yale, and August; gate intercoms from DoorBird, 2N, and Aiphone. Both integrate with the whole-home automation platform, so lock status and gate activity appear on touch panels and in the mobile app.
Are your cameras cloud-based or local?
Local by default. We record to an on-site NVR from Ubiquiti, Axis, or a dedicated Luma appliance, with optional encrypted cloud backup. You keep control of your footage and don't pay a monthly cloud fee just to see it.
Can the surveillance system be viewed offsite securely?
Yes. Every install includes secure mobile app access with two-factor authentication, and cameras appear on in-home Crestron and Savant touch panels. We do not use consumer-grade port forwarding.
