Security Systems We Install for Residences & Commercial Sites

Home Security Systems Devices

Residential Intrusion & Life-Safety Packages

We install door and window sensors at all entry points, pet-immune motion detectors for interior coverage, and networked smoke and carbon monoxide detectors that immediately alert our monitoring center. Security cameras with motion-triggered recording document activity around your property, while flood sensors monitor water heaters, washing machines, and crawl spaces vulnerable to Florida’s heavy rainfall.

Commercial Solutions for Small Businesses & Farms

Branford’s retail shops, agricultural operations, and rural businesses need security that functions independently of location. We install CCTV surveillance with remote viewing, access control systems that log employee entry and exit, and fire alarm systems designed to meet Florida Building Code requirements. Our commercial clients include warehouses, feed stores, offices, and farm operations requiring specialized sensor placement.

Professional Installation Timeline

After your property assessment, we provide itemized pricing and schedule installation within your timeframe. Our Florida-licensed technicians complete residential installations in one day for standard systems, with larger commercial projects scheduled based on scope. We walk you through every control, sensor location, and monitoring feature before we leave.

Choose the Level of Protection That Fits Your Home or Business

Select from three protection tiers based on your property’s risk profile and monitoring needs.

Level 1: Intrusion-Only Alarm Basics

This package includes perimeter protection with door and window contacts, motion detectors, a control keypad with user codes, and 120-decibel alarm sirens. Level 1 works well for properties with standalone smoke detectors or minimal life-safety monitoring requirements.

Level 2: Life-Safety Upgrade (Fire, CO, Flood)

Level 2 adds photoelectric smoke detectors, electrochemical carbon monoxide sensors, and rate-of-rise heat detectors that communicate directly with our monitoring center. When these sensors trigger, we dispatch emergency services immediately, unlike standalone detectors that only sound a local alarm.

Level 3: Smart Automation Bundle

Our complete package integrates Z-Wave smart locks, dimmable LED lighting, programmable thermostats, and garage door controllers with your security system through Alarm.com. Program automation scenes: lights turn on when motion is detected after dark, doors lock automatically when you arm the system, and cameras begin recording when specific sensors trigger.

24/7 Monitoring, Smart Control & Storm-Ready Backup

24/7 Monitoring, Smart Control & Storm-Ready Backup

Our monitoring center maintains UL certification and uses redundant communication paths to receive alarm signals from your property in Branford.

Rapid Response From Our Florida Monitoring Center

When your system triggers an alarm, operators receive the signal within seconds and follow your specific instructions. We contact you using your priority phone list, verify the emergency, and dispatch the Suwannee County Sheriff’s Office, fire department, or medical responders based on the alarm type. You control how we handle each zone.

Cellular + Generator Backup During Outages

Our systems transmit over cellular networks that operate when landlines and internet fail—a common occurrence during hurricane season in North Central Florida. Battery backup provides 24+ hours of operation, and we can integrate your security system with whole-house generators for indefinite protection during extended outages.

Alarm.com App for Total Control

The Alarm.com app gives you real-time system control from any location. Arm and disarm your system, view live camera feeds, receive instant push notifications, operate smart locks, adjust thermostats, and control lighting schedules. All automation runs continuously, whether you’re home or away.

Why Branford Property Owners Choose Security Safe Over National Companies

Local ownership and live, Florida-based support distinguish us from national providers that operate through call centers.

Local Live Support & Transparent Pricing

You speak directly with our Florida team every time you call—no automated systems or overseas call centers. We provide itemized quotes showing equipment costs, installation fees, and monthly monitoring rates before you commit. Our month-to-month monitoring agreements include no long-term contracts or cancellation penalties.

Licensed Technicians & 40-Year Florida Track Record

Every Security Safe technician holds an active Florida security contractor license (EF20000627) and individual alarm system contractor licenses issued by the Florida Department of Agriculture. All technicians pass Level 2 background screening. Since 1985, we have installed systems throughout Florida, building our reputation on quality workmanship and responsive service.

I have been with this company from the time it was started. They are still just as committed now as they were when the company was founded. Kathy was so helpful and also understands the value of the customer. I would recommend them still after all these years.
