About Callaway Security & Sound

Home Security Installation and Monitoring in Canton, GA

Callaway Security is a family-owned home security company with over 35 years of experience protecting Georgia homes. No market in this series has grown faster than Canton. The city’s population has increased nearly 400% since 2000 — from a quiet Cherokee County seat into one of North Atlanta’s most active residential markets, with over 200 active new construction communities spread across the city and county. That growth is one of Canton’s defining features. It is also one of the primary reasons professional home security matters here.

Fast-growing cities have a well-documented security challenge: the infrastructure of homes expands faster than the infrastructure of protection. New subdivisions attract new residents — many of them first-time buyers, young families, and relocation households — who haven’t yet addressed security. Builder-standard hardware leaves gaps that experienced eyes will immediately spot. And a city adding thousands of new homes per year sees a corresponding increase in the variety of traffic, the number of unfamiliar faces, and the overall complexity of the environment.

We design security systems around your specific home and your specific circumstances. We install them with our own licensed technicians — no subcontractors. We back them with 24/7 UL-listed monitoring from a central station that operates every day of the year and dispatches emergency services without waiting for you to respond to a notification.

What we install

Complete Home Security — One Trusted Team

1
Burglar alarm systems
Custom intrusion detection built around your home’s actual layout and entry points. For Canton’s predominantly 2000s and newer housing stock, that means accounting for the attached garages with interior access that are standard in this market, rear yard entry points that builder landscaping often leaves exposed, and the multi-point entry configurations of larger homes in communities like Bridgemill and Woodmont. All systems are wireless-capable for clean installs in finished interiors — no drilling through new millwork, no visible cable runs.
2
Smart home security
Full system control via the Alarm.com platform — arm and disarm from anywhere, live camera access, smart lock management, thermostat control, and lighting automation from one app. For Canton’s families running busy, mobile schedules, the Remote Access plan is the tier that gets used every day: confirm the system is armed before a morning commute, receive an alert if a door opens while the kids are supposed to be home, and check a live feed from a phone during a lunch break. It is not a feature you configure and forget. It is active, daily peace of mind.
3
HD indoor and outdoor cameras with night vision, weatherproof housings, and motion-triggered alerts. Accessible from any device. We position cameras based on your property’s specific layout — not a standard diagram. In Canton’s subdivisions, that typically means covering the attached garage entry, the rear yard or deck access, the driveway approach, and any secondary structures. A video doorbell is a starting point. We cover the property. Clip storage provides documentation for police reports and insurance claims when something does happen.
4
Fire & life safety monitoring
Integrated smoke detection, fire alarms, carbon monoxide monitoring, and medical panic capabilities — all connected to our UL-listed central station for immediate emergency dispatch. Fire monitoring is active 24/7 regardless of whether your intrusion alarm is armed. In a region with tornado activity 63% above the national average and a large population of young families where children or elderly relatives may be home alone, this is not an add-on. It is the protection layer that calls for help when the situation doesn’t allow you to.

Already have a system?

Switching Providers is Easier Than You Think.

Many Canton homeowners have an existing system — installed by the builder, purchased at a previous home and transferred, or inherited from the prior owner of a resale property. In each case, the most important question is not whether a panel is on the wall. It is whether it is monitored, whether the monitoring is connected to a UL-listed central station, and whether the coverage was actually designed for the home it is in.

In most cases, Callaway Security can assess what is in place, confirm what is functional, and take over monitoring with no setup fee. If the equipment is compatible and performing correctly, you keep it. If something needs updating, you hear about it before we do anything.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions from Canton-area homeowners

Straightforward answers to what we hear most from homeowners in Canton and the surrounding North Cherokee County area.

Has Callaway Security ever been sold or acquired by a national company? +
No. Callaway Security & Sound has been continuously owned and operated by the Callaway family since Robert Callaway founded the company in Alpharetta, Georgia in 1991. We have never been acquired by a national chain, private equity firm, or outside investor — and we have no plans to change that. Every technician who installs or services your system is a direct Callaway employee, not a subcontractor. When you call our office, you reach the same local team that has served the Atlanta metro area for over 30 years. In an industry where many familiar local names have been quietly bought out and replaced by national operations, Callaway remains one of the few independently owned security companies still serving Atlanta homeowners and businesses under original ownership.
How much does home security monitoring cost in Canton, GA? +
Professional home security monitoring in Canton starts at $22/month with Callaway Security — one of the lowest rates available from a UL-listed, locally operated provider. Our plans range from $22/month for basic 24/7 monitoring to $37.99/month for full remote access with HD video. All plans are month-to-month billed quarterly with no mandatory long-term contracts.
What is the best home security company serving Canton? +
Callaway Security has been serving Canton and the greater Atlanta area for over 35 years — one of the longest-established locally owned security companies in Georgia. We offer custom-designed systems, Georgia technicians (not subcontractors), UL-listed 24/7 monitoring, and no mandatory long-term contracts. For Canton homeowners who value personal accountability and genuine local expertise, Callaway is a standout choice.
Do I need a long-term contract for home security monitoring? +
No. Callaway Security does not require mandatory long-term contracts. All monitoring plans are available month-to-month starting at $22/month billed every quarter. Many national providers lock customers into 2–3 year agreements with significant cancellation penalties. With Callaway, you are never locked in.
Can I keep my existing alarm system and switch monitoring? +
In most cases, yes. Callaway Security can transfer monitoring of your existing alarm system to our UL-listed central station without replacing equipment. We will assess compatibility before making any changes and advise you upfront if any component needs updating or if any equipment turns out to be bad.
How fast does Callaway Security & Sound respond to an alarm? +
Our monitoring is handled by a UL-listed central station operating 24/7/365. When an alarm triggers, trained monitoring specialists follow enhanced call verification response procedures — contacting you and dispatching local Canton or Cherokee County emergency services as needed.
Does professional home security monitoring lower homeowners insurance in Georgia? +
Yes, most Georgia homeowners insurance carriers offer premium discounts of 5–10% for professionally monitored systems. As a UL-certified monitoring company, Callaway Security can provide the monitoring certificate your insurer requires to apply for the discount. The exact reduction varies by carrier and policy — confirm with your agent what documentation they need.
What security cameras does Callaway Security & Sound install? +
Callaway installs HD indoor cameras, floodlight cameras, video doorbells, and outdoor security cameras. Our cameras are weatherproof cameras with night vision, video doorbells with two-way audio, and smart floodlight cameras with motion alerts. All cameras integrate with the Alarm.com platform for live viewing, motion clip storage, and smartphone push notifications. Camera coverage is included in our Video monitoring plan at $37.99/month for up to four cameras.
How long does a home security installation take in Canton? +
A standard installation typically takes 2–4 hours depending on system size and complexity. Wireless systems are faster than wired setups. Our technicians walk you through every component before leaving and confirm the system is fully operational and connected to our monitoring center.
How Is Callaway Different From National Providers? +
We're local. Our office is in Alpharetta. The technician who installs your system is our employee, not a subcontractor. When you call, you reach our team — not a national call center. We've been doing this in this market for 35 years, which means we understand Canton's housing stock, its neighborhoods, and the security considerations specific to Cherokee County. National providers offer standardized packages. We design systems for your specific property.
Can Callaway Security & Sound integrate with my existing smart home system? +
Yes. Callaway Security systems run on the Alarm.com platform, which has a wide range of smart home devices - including smart locks, thermostats,, and garage door controllers.
