Cameras, alarms and cable, priced before the walk-through.

Count the cameras you want, the doors and windows to cover and the jacks you need. You get a real price range for the equipment and the install in about a minute. Then we walk the house, trace the cable runs and confirm it in writing.

What we do

Cameras, alarms, cabling and the rest of the wire in the walls

Every system we install is set up on your phone before we leave, and you get the passwords, not us.

Priced on this page

Security cameras and alarm systems

Cameras, door and window sensors, a recorder, an alarm panel and network drops, priced from the counts you know.

Most asked for

Driveway and door cameras

Mounted, cabled back to a recorder and aimed with you, so you see the faces and the plates you need.

The basics

Alarm systems

A panel, a keypad, sensors and a siren, with a cellular communicator so it still reports with the phone line cut.

Work from home

Network cable drops

A wired jack where the desk, the TV or the access point is, cabled back to your router and tested.

Site visit

Home theater and whole-home audio

Designed around the room and the equipment you choose, so we come and look first.

Site visit

Access control and intercoms

Keypads, card readers and video intercoms for a gate or a building door, priced after a visit.

How we price

A number before anyone is in your attic

The form at the top of this page uses our real rates. It shows a range rather than a single number because the cable path, and what is behind the drywall, are things we settle on the walk-through.

Count what you want

Cameras, sensors, a recorder, an alarm panel, network jacks and how the wire gets there. Monitoring is a question too, but it never changes the install price.

See the range

Midpoint plus or minus 10%. Jobs under our $650 minimum quote at the minimum. Anything over $15,000 gets a walk-through instead of a number.

We walk it and confirm

We trace the cable runs and confirm the price in writing, with any monitoring contract’s fee and term on its own page. Travel is priced from your ZIP. The price is the same in any month.

Notes for anyone evaluating the demo
  • Priced path. Pick Security cameras and alarm systems, then: 4 cameras, a recorder supplied, 8 sensors, alarm panel Yes, 4 network drops, Finished walls and ceilings, fished, and professional monitoring. Use ZIP 20715. The live pricing engine returns $3,915 – $4,785. Four cameras at $310, the $450 recorder, eight sensors at $85, the $595 panel and four drops at $165 make $3,625; fishing the wire through finished walls is +20%, so the midpoint is $4,350.
  • Monitoring moves nothing. Answer Self-monitored on my phone or Not sure yet instead and the range does not change by a dollar. The answer is recorded on the lead, and the disclaimer says the monthly fee, the term and the monitoring company are given in writing separately.
  • The cable path is the biggest lever. The same system in a two-story house with no attic access is +30%: $4,241 – $5,184. Six cameras and a recorder through an open attic, nothing else: $2,079 – $2,541. An alarm alone, ten sensors and the panel: $1,301 – $1,590.
  • Minimum floor. One camera on a recorder she already has, open attic: the work is $310, under the $650 minimum, so it quotes $650 – $715. The low end of the band is the floor itself.
  • Travel zone. The priced path with ZIP 20814 (Bethesda) adds the outer ring’s flat fee: $3,983 – $4,868. A ZIP outside the listed prefixes, such as 20601 (Waldorf), falls to the catch-all: $4,246 – $5,189.
  • Over the ceiling. 20 cameras, a recorder, 40 sensors, the panel and 16 drops in a two-story house with no attic access: the midpoint is $17,270.50, over the $15,000 ceiling, so the widget routes to “we’ll take a proper look” rather than printing a number.
  • Out of area. Use ZIP 99901. The visitor gets a polite decline instead of a price, and the lead is still captured.
  • Routing mode. Pick Home theater, whole-home audio and access control. That service is in site-visit mode, so it never shows a price at all; the visitor sees “we like to see it first”. None of its questions carries a pricing rule, which the widget still validates and still records.
  • The photo question carries no rule. Photos never move the price — the engine skips them entirely. Nothing is uploaded either: on a demo the visitor can tick “I have photos I can send” and the lead records “Has photos to send, not uploaded”, which is the owner’s cue to ask for pictures on the callback. Attaching the image itself is on the roadmap.
  • The missed-call text-back. The CallMitt page replays which of five messages a missed caller would get and why. Straight about where it stands: the texting number is not live and no registration is filed yet, and the forwarded-call hook waits on that number, so today the missed call is logged by hand and the reply becomes an outbox row marked queued. It is not delivered, and a queued row that is still sitting there an hour later is retired rather than sent. The rules, the hours, the weekend, holiday and vacation branches, the quiet hours and the opt-out handling are all built and running now.
  • The widget’s color matches this site because the account’s key carries a theme color; the same script on an agency’s client site would carry the agency’s color.
