Callaway Security is a family-owned home security company with over 35 years of experience protecting Georgia homes. Dawsonville is the county seat of Dawson County — a small, genuinely rural city that has grown 687% since 2000 and is still accelerating. With a 78.7% owner-occupied housing rate, 887 building permits issued in Dawson County in 2024 alone, and a population that has grown from 26,798 to over 35,000 in just five years, this is one of North Georgia’s most active residential markets.
It is also a city where NeighborhoodScout’s analysis of 2024 FBI crime data places the crime rate considerably above the national average — with an overall victimization risk of 1 in 96 and a property crime rate of 9 per 1,000 residents that runs above average nationally. Dawsonville is not a dangerous place. It is a small, fast-growing city with a persistent property crime problem, a large-lot rural housing character, and a national outlet mall that draws visitor traffic on a scale that few small Georgia cities experience. That combination requires a specific kind of security thinking.
We are not a national provider shipping a box to a rural address. We assess your property, design a system around its actual footprint and circumstances, install it with our own licensed technicians, and back it with 24/7 UL-listed monitoring from a central station that dispatches emergency services whether or not you are anywhere near your phone. For a property on a wooded lot outside a small city, that last detail is not incidental. It is the point.
Contact Us The Local DifferenceThirty-five years of North Georgia experience means systems built for the environment in front of us — rural lots, longer driveways, detached structures, and properties where self-reliance is a cultural value but where a monitored alarm system and a firearm serve completely different purposes. Technicians we’ve trained. Monitoring that holds UL certification through independent annual audits.

Many Dawsonville homeowners have security hardware on a wall or in a panel box — installed years ago, purchased from a builder, or inherited from a prior owner. In a rural market with limited local provider options, these systems frequently sit dormant: functional-looking, yard-signed, and completely unmonitored. Others are connected to national providers at rates that were never compared against a local alternative.
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, you keep it. If something needs updating — particularly for older systems whose communication modules may no longer support current cellular protocols — we tell you clearly and upfront before anything changes.
