Modern home security without the ADT contract. Smart cameras, smart locks, video doorbells, and motion sensors — all connected to your phone. Professional installation, you own the hardware, no mandatory monthly fee.
Every system we build is designed around your home — not a preset package that doesn’t fit. Professional installation, all hardware configured before we leave.
4K PoE cameras with local NVR storage and remote viewing. No mandatory cloud subscription. Motion zones, night vision, and two-way audio. Footage stays on your hardware.
Ring, Nest Hello, or wired video doorbells with motion detection and two-way talk. See who’s at your Lancaster home from anywhere in the world. Integrates with your smart home.
Keypad, fingerprint, and app-controlled deadbolts with audit trails. Know when your kids arrive home, give contractors a temporary code, and lock everything from your phone.
Instant phone alerts when any door or window opens. Works while you’re home or away. Can trigger lights, cameras, or a siren automatically.
Interior motion detection and acoustic glass-break sensors for whole-home coverage. Pet-immune options available. All sensors connect to your existing smart home platform.
Central alarm panel with optional professional 24/7 monitoring starting at $10–$15/month — no long-term contract. Or self-monitor via app with direct-dial emergency contacts.

ADT and Vivint use proprietary equipment. If you cancel, the hardware doesn’t work with anyone else. We install open standards — your cameras work with your home forever.
Your camera footage stores on an NVR in your Lancaster home. No mandatory cloud upload, no cloud storage fees, no third party that can lose or share your video.
Smart cameras, locks, and sensors connect to your smart home. One scene can arm the cameras, lock the doors, and turn off the lights when you say “goodnight.”
We configure your system to alert your phone, text emergency contacts, or trigger smart home automations — all without a monthly bill. Add professional monitoring later if you want it.
Ask your agent for a “protective device credit” — the specific term used by most PA insurers. We can provide documentation of your installed security system for the discount application. Discounts vary by policy and insurer; consult your agent.
The best system depends on your priorities. If you want no contract and open hardware, a professionally installed smart home security system (cameras, smart locks, sensors) is the best choice. If you need 24/7 professional monitoring by a certified central station, we add optional monitoring to any system starting at $10–$15/mo — far less than ADT or Vivint.
A starter system (video doorbell, 2 outdoor cameras, 1 smart lock) runs $800–$1,500 installed. A full system (4–6 cameras, door/window sensors, motion sensors, alarm panel, smart locks) typically runs $2,500–$6,000 installed. All prices include hardware, wiring, configuration, and testing.
No — not with us. We install systems you own outright. Camera footage stores locally. Your phone is the monitoring system. If you want professional 24/7 central station monitoring, it’s available from $10–$15/mo with no long-term contract required.
Yes. Erie Insurance, State Farm, Travelers, Nationwide, and USAA all offer discounts of 5–15% for homes with qualifying security devices. Ask your agent for a “protective device credit.” We provide written documentation of your installation for discount applications.
ADT uses proprietary hardware tied to their monitoring service, requires a 3-year contract, and charges $30–$60/mo. Our systems use open, interoperable hardware that works with Apple Home, Google Home, or Alexa — no proprietary lock-in, no mandatory contract, and your system still works if you ever switch monitoring providers.
Yes — we serve Lancaster County and regularly work in York County and the Harrisburg/Dauphin County area. No trip fees for our standard service area. Call (717) 322-2180 to confirm your location.
We’ll visit your home, identify the coverage gaps, and give you a written quote for a system you own outright — no contracts, no surprises.
