KeepWatchly is not a security company, alarm dealer, monitoring center, licensed installer, locksmith, or guard company. We do not provide security, legal, or insurance advice. The information on this site is general information to help you ask better questions and avoid pressure.
When you use the site, please provide only basic information needed for matching, such as what you want to protect and your contact details. Do not submit sensitive information like Social Security numbers, bank account numbers, or immigration records.
What our information means
We try to give straight answers about common security options, including alarms, cameras, professional monitoring, smart locks, access control, and guards. Our price information is typical ranges and estimates, not quotes or guarantees.
Real pricing depends on things like:
- the type of system you choose
- the size and layout of the property
- whether you want professional monitoring
- whether installation is DIY or professional
- the number of cameras, doors, sensors, or users
- your area and local labor rates
For example, alarm equipment often falls around $200-$600+, professional monitoring around $15-$60 per month, cameras around $50-$300 each plus any cloud fee, installation around $100-$400 one-time, smart locks or access control around $120-$500 per door, and unarmed guards around $20-$50 per hour. Those are not bids. You can review more background on costs.
Matching, contact consent, and your choices
If you ask to be matched, we may share your request with participating security companies so they can contact you about your project. Matching is free to you. Participating companies pay KeepWatchly a flat fee.
By submitting your request, you agree that KeepWatchly and participating companies may contact you by phone, email, and text, including by autodialer, prerecorded or artificial voice, and SMS, as allowed by law. Your consent is not a condition of any purchase. You do not have to buy anything to use our information, and you can opt out of marketing calls or texts at any time.
Before you move forward with any company:
1. Verify the company's license, insurance, and registration yourself. Some states also license or register alarm sales solicitation and installation.
2. Read the full contract and monitoring agreement.
3. Confirm the contract length, monthly fee, auto-renewal, equipment ownership, warranty, and cancellation or early-termination terms.
4. Do not sign on the spot because of door-to-door or phone pressure.

No guarantee, and limits on site use
No security measure can promise safety. We do not guarantee that any alarm, camera, monitoring plan, smart lock, access control system, or guard service will prevent crime, loss, injury, or property damage. Security can reduce risk in some situations, but it cannot remove risk.
Please use this site in a lawful, honest way. Do not submit false information, impersonate someone else, interfere with the site, or use the site to spam companies or request services for a property you do not control or have authority to discuss.
We may update site content, services, and these terms from time to time. If you need help understanding your options before you talk to companies, start with our plain-language guides, including avoid door-to-door alarm sales.
Use KeepWatchly to learn your options and get free matches with local licensed, insured security companies, then compare offers yourself. Read the full contract, check the cancellation terms, verify the license on your own, and do not let anyone pressure you to sign right away.
