Serving Columbus
A metro mix of homes, offices, and mixed-use properties — one local team
Columbus stretches from established neighborhoods to newer corridors and commercial districts. That mix is why we start with how the property is used — family routines, after-hours access, deliveries, or a storefront that needs clearer camera coverage — before recommending equipment.
Primary recommendation: HomeShield with 2GIG Edge, compatible sensors, and Alarm.com for remote arming and alerts where your plan supports it. Brinks remains a light secondary option when a specific property fits better. Wired PoE/NVR cameras are our preferred path for many sites; Alarm.com cameras when you want video in the same app as security. NVR cameras use a separate viewing path — not the Alarm.com app.
Our Reynoldsburg-based team designs, installs, and supports systems across the Columbus metro and surrounding communities — the same Ohio crew that has been at this since 2009.
