About Callaway Security & Sound

Home Security Installation and Monitoring in Kennesaw, GA

Callaway Security is a family-owned home security company with over 35 years of experience protecting Georgia homes. Kennesaw is one of northwest Atlanta’s most distinctive cities — growing fast, anchored by one of Georgia’s largest universities, positioned at the convergence of I-75 and I-575, and home to a residential market that increased in median value by 15.1% in a single year. Homeowners here are building equity quickly. The question of how that investment is protected deserves a direct, honest answer.

Kennesaw’s overall crime rate is well below the national average. It is also rising. In the last five years, both violent crime and property crime in Kennesaw have trended upward — a pattern that a 3% single-year reduction in 2024 barely dents. A city with favorable absolute numbers and a negative five-year direction is a city where the decision to monitor professionally is better made now than later.

We design systems around your specific property and your specific circumstances. We install them with our own licensed technicians — no subcontractors. We monitor through a 24/7 UL-listed central station that dispatches emergency services without waiting on a push notification you might not see.

Monitoring that holds UL certification through independent audits every year. When you call, you reach our team — the same local operation that has served this market since 1991.

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. Kennesaw’s housing stock spans four decades of construction — from Pinetree Country Club’s 1970s ranches to late-1990s homes in Summerbrooke to 2020s infill across the city. Each era brings its own entry configurations, hardware standards, and coverage gaps. A 1975 ranch near the country club has different vulnerabilities than a 1998 colonial in Summerbrooke, which has different requirements than a newer townhome on Barrett Parkway. We assess before we recommend anything. 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 from anywhere, live camera access, smart lock management, thermostat control, and lighting automation from one app. For Kennesaw’s working families on 28-minute average commutes into Cobb County and Atlanta, remote access is daily functionality: confirm the system is armed before the school run, receive an alert if the back door opens when the house should be empty, and check a live feed from your desk in Marietta or your lunch break in Midtown.
3
HD indoor and outdoor cameras with night vision, weatherproof housings, and motion-triggered alerts. Accessible from any device. For homes near the KSU campus corridors or the Town Center interchange, camera positioning focuses on the approach angles and access points that generate the most exposure — driveways, side entries, rear yard access, and anywhere a street-accessible path leads to a secondary entry point. Clip storage creates documentation for police reports and insurance claims. We position cameras for your specific property, not a standard diagram.
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 Kennesaw’s large population of working parents with school-age children — and for any household where someone may be home alone during the day — fire and medical panic monitoring is the coverage layer that responds when the situation doesn’t allow for a phone call.

Switching Providers is Easier Than You Think.

A five-year upward crime trend in a still-safe city is precisely the moment to verify that your existing security infrastructure is actually functional. Many Kennesaw homeowners have a panel on the wall — from a previous owner, a builder, or a monitoring contract that has been auto-renewing without review. In many cases, the system is dormant, the monitoring has lapsed, or the coverage was designed for a different homeowner’s use case.

In most cases, Callaway Security can assess what is in place, confirm what is functional and appropriate for your current property, 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 before anything changes.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions from Kennesaw-area homeowners

Straightforward answers to what we hear most from homeowners in Kennesaw and the surrounding Northwest Cobb 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 Kennesaw homeowners and businesses under original ownership.
How much does home security monitoring cost in Kennesaw, GA? +
Professional home security monitoring in Kennesaw 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 Kennesaw? +
Callaway Security has been serving Kennesaw and the greater Northwest Cobb County 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 Kennesaw 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 Kennesaw or Northwest Cobb 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 Kennesaw? +
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 Kennesaw's housing stock, its neighborhoods, and the security considerations specific to Northwest Cobb 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.
