Honest, Upfront, No Surprises

Pricing & Financing — Straight Answers Before You Ever Commit

Honest ballpark ranges, one flat on-site quote, no monthly fees, and financing for businesses — across Waterford Township and Metro Detroit.

Everybody wants to know the same thing first: what’s this going to cost me? Fair question — and most companies dodge it.

We won’t hand you a fake price list, because a number that doesn’t account for your property is just a guess. But we’ll be straight with you up front: here are the real ranges, here’s exactly how our pricing works, and here’s the one promise we make — the price we quote on-site is the price you pay.

Roland from Security Camera Guru reviewing a quote with a Metro Detroit customer — honest, upfront pricing with no surprises and financing available

Typical Ranges

What most people actually pay

Residential

From $1,399

Most homes, depending on the number of cameras, property size, and complexity. A small home might need 4 cameras; a larger home with a detached garage, 8. You get a ballpark over the phone and a firm flat price after the on-site survey.

Commercial

Varies by facility

A small office with 6 cameras is very different from a warehouse with 20 across multiple buildings. We quote after understanding your facility — and business financing is available for qualified installations.

Every System Includes

  • No monthly fees — ever
  • Footage stored local — you own it
  • One honest flat quote
  • 3-yr equipment / 1-yr labor warranty
The one promise: we never quote a final price without seeing the property first — and once we do, that flat price is what you pay. No surprise add-ons, no “that part’s extra” at the end.

How Pricing Works

From “what’s it cost?” to a firm price — in four steps

1

A quick phone call

Tell us what you want to protect. We get a feel for your property and what matters most to you.

2

Free Google Maps ballpark

We pull your property up on satellite and give you a realistic ballpark price — no appointment, no waiting around.

3

On-site survey (if you’re in)

Like the number? We come out, walk the property, confirm every angle, and lock in one honest flat quote. The survey fee is $50–$125 depending on distance, credited toward your install.

4

Installed right

Hardwired, tested, your phone set up, and a full walkthrough before we leave. The price we quoted is the price you pay.

Knowledge Base

Pricing questions, answered honestly

Q.Why don’t you list exact prices?

Because no two properties are the same. A ranch on a corner lot needs a different system than a two-story with a detached garage, and a restaurant is different from a warehouse. A real price comes from understanding your property — not a generic number that’s wrong the moment you read it. What we can promise: a ballpark over the phone, and one honest flat quote on-site before any work begins.

Q.What does a typical home system cost?

Most homes start at $1,399 installed for four cameras and $1,699 for six, depending on your property size and complexity. We’ll give you a ballpark over the phone and a firm flat price after the on-site survey.

Q.What about commercial pricing?

Commercial varies more — a small office with 6 cameras is very different from a warehouse with 20 across multiple buildings. We quote after understanding your facility, and business financing is available for qualified installations.

Q.Are there any monthly fees?

No — none, ever. Your system is yours outright. Footage is stored locally on your own recorder. No subscriptions, no cloud fees, no paying every month just to see your own video.

Q.Do you offer financing?

Yes — business financing is available for qualified commercial installations, so your facility gets protected immediately without a large upfront cost. Terms are discussed during your consultation.

Q.Is the quote free?

The phone ballpark is free, with no obligation. The on-site survey is based on driving distance from our Waterford shop: $50 up to 10 miles, $75 up to 20, $100 up to 30, $125 up to 40, and call for pricing beyond that. It is credited toward your installation if you go ahead. The survey is for quoting an install we do; it is not a do-it-yourself consultation.

No Pressure, No Obligation

Get your ballpark in one quick call

Tell us what you want to protect and we’ll give you a realistic number over the phone — then an honest flat quote on-site if you want to move forward. No monthly fees. Financing available for businesses.
