About ProTECHt · Since 2012
Indiana's Most Trusted
Local Security Team.
ProTECHt is a father and son security company founded in Indianapolis in 2012. Theo Garber started the company with one mission — to give Indianapolis families the same enterprise-grade security that big companies use, with real local service that national brands can’t deliver.
For over 14 years, Theo and Tristan Garber have personally installed, serviced, and supported every ProTECHt customer. When you call ProTECHt, you talk to the owners — not a call center. That’s the ProTECHt difference, and it’s why Indianapolis families keep trusting us year after year.

Crash & Smash
Protection Technology
The smartest home security systems use Crash & Smash technology. The moment an intruder triggers an alarm sensor, a signal is immediately sent to the monitoring station — before the alarm even sounds. If no pass code from the homeowner is received, authorities are dispatched automatically.
Systems with Crash & Smash technology are virtually impossible to defeat. Even if an intruder destroys the panel before the siren sounds, the monitoring center has already been notified and first responders are already on the way. It’s included on every new ProTECHt installation.
- Signal sent before alarm sounds
- Works even if panel is destroyed
- Virtually impossible to defeat
- Included with every ProTECHt installation at no extra cost
- Keeps you one step ahead of any intruder — always

Pet-Immune Motion Detector
Wide-angle PIR motion — 30 ft deep × 50 ft wide. Pet-immune up to 55 lbs so your dog doesn't trigger the alarm. Wireless to the control panel.
Glass Break Detector
15 ft range, 360° sensing. Dual-stage detection identifies the sound of breaking glass — alerting you before an intruder enters through a window or glass door.
Emergency Panic Button
