In most circumstances, we don’t recommend them. We consider wired cameras a
superior option in most situations because unlike wireless cameras, they record 24/7,
they can’t be hacked, and they will continue to work if and when the internet fails.
Installing an alarm or security system in your home helps decrease the chances of being burgled, even as a visual deterrent. Research has found that when alarms were present and visually noticeable, burglars avoided these homes. Some studies have even concluded that a burglar is about 2–3 times more likely to be deterred by an alarm.
It may. Insurance companies often offer discounts to customers with monitored alarm systems. However, the premiums you pay typically vary depending on your location, the type of coverage offered with the installed system, and any previous claims made.
Yes, our installed security systems are designed to be online 24/7. There is a battery backup in the case that your power goes out; we also provide 4G/5G communication options if you have an issue with your land line.
No! You can rest easy, your pets will not set off the alarm by running through your home. Our alarms feature specially designed switches and sensors that can tell the difference between a pet and an intruder. So you won’t be woken up in the middle of the night when your cat gets the zoomies!
We recommend regularly testing your alarm to ensure everything is functioning optimally. Your system will be installed to manufacturing standards; however, testing ensures your system is still connected to power, phone lines, and so on. The CGF team will tell you everything you need to know to properly maintain your alarm once installed. Your system’s manual will also explain how to run tests.
Yes – there are many reasons to install a CCTV system in your business.

An intercom system enables you to communicate with someone at the door via audio and camera. It’s a good opportunity to look at the visitor, have them state their business and then you can decide how to proceed.
The only person who can unlock a door via an intercom system is the owner of the house or business. Our secure systems are designed so that you can release the door from within the property or remotely.
Yes. If someone is at the door, you’ll receive a notification on your phone. You’ll be provided with a live feed of the visitor via audio and video.
Yes. We generally recommend replacing your intercom system after five years. If your system is dated or beginning to malfunction, we can easily install a newer model. We’re also happy to provide maintenance on your existing system as well.
An access control system allows you to gain access to your business or home through an access code or swipe of a card. Access control systems come with a range of integrations; for example, we can connect your CCTV system with your access control, so recording only occurs once someone has entered the premises.
