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 — we do not claim they appear in the Alarm.com app.
We do not operate a separate Columbus branch office. Serving Columbus means our Reynoldsburg-based team designs, installs, and supports systems across the metro and surrounding communities — the same Ohio crew that has been at this since 2009.

FAQ
Common questions about Columbus
Do you have an office in Columbus?
No separate Columbus branch. Home Shield Alarm is based in Reynoldsburg, Ohio, and serves Columbus and Central Ohio from that team — serving a city is not the same as claiming a local storefront there.
What system do you recommend for Columbus homes?
Primary stack: HomeShield with 2GIG Edge, compatible sensors, and Alarm.com. Brinks is available as a secondary alternative when it fits better.
Can you help with business security in Columbus?
Yes. We design commercial intrusion and camera plans and can discuss access control. Start with /business-security and /access-control, or request a quote.
Will PoE/NVR cameras show in Alarm.com?
No. Preferred wired NVR systems use a separate local viewing path. Alarm.com cameras and doorbells can appear in the Alarm.com app when your plan supports video.
