About Callaway Security & Sound

Home Security Installation and Monitoring in Cumming, GA

Callaway Security is a family-owned home security company with over 35 years of experience protecting Georgia homes. Cumming is one of the safest places to live in Georgia — Forsyth County consistently ranks in the 98th to 99th national percentile for safety, with violent crime roughly 40% below the national average. That record is genuine, and it is one of the reasons this county continues to attract new residents at a rate few Georgia counties can match.

It is also, for many homeowners, a reason to stop thinking about security entirely. And that gap — between a community’s excellent safety record and an individual home’s actual level of protection — is precisely where most residential incidents occur.

Forsyth County is safe because its residents and its law enforcement make it that way. An unmonitored home in Cumming does not inherit that safety record. It sits in a neighborhood that is growing rapidly, sees increasing outside traffic from retail corridors and recreational lake visitors, and is statistically more vulnerable when its owners are traveling, commuting, or away at the lake than at any other time. Those are the real variables. We design around them.

We assess every property individually. We install with our own licensed technicians — no subcontractors. And we monitor through a 24/7 UL-listed central station that dispatches emergency services without waiting on you to acknowledge a notification.

Why it matters

Thirty-five years of local North Georgia experience means systems that reflect the actual risk profile of this market — not a template built for a higher-crime suburb. Technicians we’ve trained ourselves. And monitoring that has held UL certification through independent audits year after year.

What we install

Complete Home Security — One Trusted Team

1
Burglar alarm systems
Custom intrusion detection designed around your property’s actual layout and entry points. For Cumming’s range of housing stock — from established master-planned communities like Windermere and Traditions with defined architectural patterns, to newer infill developments and custom lake estates — that means a technician who walks the property before making a single recommendation. Attached garages with interior access, rear yard entries, basement walk-outs, and detached boat storage structures are all variables a template approach overlooks. All systems are wireless-capable for clean installs in finished interiors.
2
Smart home security
Full system control via the Alarm.com platform — arm and disarm remotely, live camera access, smart lock and thermostat management, and lighting automation from one app. For Cumming’s GA-400 commuters, this is the daily operational layer: arm the system as you pull out of the driveway, receive a real-time alert if a door opens while the house is supposed to be empty, check a live camera feed from your desk in Alpharetta. For lake homeowners and frequent travelers, smart lighting schedules and motion-triggered alerts maintain active presence at a property you’re not physically at.
3
HD indoor and outdoor cameras with night vision, weatherproof housings, and motion-triggered alerts. Accessible from any device. For Cumming properties, camera placement goes beyond the front entry: lake homes need coverage of dock access and waterside approaches; larger lots in communities like Three Chimneys Farm and Creekstone Estates need driveway and perimeter coverage that a doorbell camera doesn’t reach; and homes near the Collection at Forsyth or Halcyon’s retail corridors benefit from side-entry and garage coverage that reflects proximity to higher-traffic areas. We position cameras for what your specific property requires.
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. For lake homes and vacation properties that sit vacant for extended periods, fire monitoring is the protection layer that responds to an emergency when no one is present to call for help. It is not secondary. For unoccupied properties, it is often the most important service we provide.

Switching Providers is Easier Than You Think.

A significant share of Cumming homeowners have an existing security panel — installed by a builder, inherited from a prior owner, or purchased years ago and connected to a national monitoring provider that charges above-market rates. In each case, the most important question is not whether hardware is mounted on a wall. It is whether the system is actively monitored, whether the monitoring uses a UL-listed central station, and whether the coverage was designed for the home it’s protecting.

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

Frequently asked questions

Common Questions from Cumming Homeowners

Straightforward answers to what we hear most from homeowners in Cumming and the surrounding North Fulton 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 Cumming, GA? +
Professional home security monitoring in Cumming 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 Cumming? +
Callaway Security has been serving Cumming 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 Cumming 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 Cumming or Forsyth 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 Cumming? +
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 Cumming's housing stock, its neighborhoods, and the security considerations specific to Forsyth 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.
