About Callaway Security & Sound

Home Security Installation and Monitoring in Marietta, GA

Callaway Security is a family-owned home security company with over 35 years of experience protecting Georgia homes. Marietta is our kind of city — the county seat of Cobb County, built around a genuine community square, with deep neighborhood roots, strong schools, and a housing market that rewards long-term investment. It is also a city with a property crime environment that ranks higher than most of its Cobb County neighbors, and where homeowners who take protection seriously get better outcomes than those who don’t.

We’ve been doing this in metro Atlanta long enough to know Marietta’s neighborhoods well. The mid-century ranches and brick colonials of Whitlock Heights sit three miles from the newer East Cobb subdivisions, which sit another five miles from the wooded lots of West Cobb — and each has a different security profile. Median construction year here is 1986, which means a large share of Marietta’s housing stock predates the wireless security era entirely. Most of these homes have never been assessed by someone who knows what to look for.

We assess, design, install, and monitor — all with our own team. No subcontractors handle your installation. No national call center handles your monitoring. A local company with three and a half decades of local history, doing the work the right way.

What we install

Complete Home Security — One Trusted Team

1
Burglar alarm systems
Custom intrusion detection built around your home’s real layout — not a preset package. For Marietta’s range of housing stock, that means accounting for older door and window hardware on mid-century homes, attached and detached garage access, finished basements with exterior entries, and the rear and side access points that standard kits rarely cover. All systems are wireless-capable for clean installs in finished interiors without disrupting original trim or millwork.
2
Smart home security
Full system control via the Alarm.com platform — arm and disarm from anywhere, live camera access, smart lock and thermostat management, and lighting control in one app. For Marietta’s large population of shift workers and commuters, this is a practical daily tool: confirm the house is armed before a night shift starts, receive an alert if a door opens unexpectedly at 2 a.m., and check a live camera feed from a hospital break room or a job site trailer. This is what remote access monitoring actually looks like when it’s used.
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 specific property and its actual approach vectors — for a Whitlock Heights home with a shared alley, that’s different from a Chimney Springs home on a quiet cul-de-sac, which is different again from a property near the Cobb Parkway commercial corridor. Clip storage means you have documentation when something happens — for a police report, an insurance claim, or your own peace of mind.
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 around the clock, every day, regardless of whether your intrusion alarm is armed. In a city where tornado activity is 70% above the national average and a meaningful portion of homes have original or older electrical systems, 24/7 fire monitoring is not an upsell. It is the coverage layer that calls for help when everything else has already gone wrong.

Switching Providers is Easier Than You Think.

Alpharetta's active real estate market means many homeowners move into properties with an existing security system — often monitored by a national provider the new owner never chose. Others have accumulated consumer-grade devices that provide alerts but no actual monitored response.

In most cases, Callaway Security can take over monitoring of your existing equipment with no setup fee. We'll assess what you have, tell you honestly what's performing well and what needs updating, and transition your monitoring to our UL-listed central station. If you're paying for monitoring with a national provider, compare what you're paying now against what we offer — the difference is usually significant.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions from Marietta-area homeowners

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