How the scorecards read

Every number on this page comes from public Google data on the date shown. Rating is the live Google star average. Review volume is how many customers have rated the business, compared with other Denver security companies. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 4.9 on over a thousand reviews carries more weight than a 4.9 on a handful. Recency reflects how recently customers still review. No business can edit these figures.

What drives home security cost in Denver (2026)

Security pricing depends on the number of doors, windows and cameras, whether equipment is bought outright or tied to a contract, and the monthly fee for monitoring. Smart-home add-ons such as thermostats or water sensors also change the total, so ask each company for equipment and monitoring costs separately and for the contract length in writing.

Home security across the Denver metro

These businesses are based in Denver, Englewood, Aurora and Lakewood. Colorado Security Company’s site describes alarm and camera systems for homes and businesses, and Pye-Barker’s Lakewood page covers Lakewood, Denver and the Front Range. Searching for home security systems near me? Each listing shows a direct phone number and map link.

Questions to ask a security company

  • Is monitoring done locally or by a third-party center, and what does it cost per month?
  • How long is the contract, and what happens if I move or switch providers?
  • Does the quote cover cameras as well as door and window sensors?
  • Can I control the system from my phone, and will you show me how the app works?
  • Who owns the control panel and the codes if I cancel?

Frequently asked questions

Which Denver security companies here install cameras?

Security Surveillance System is built around cameras and surveillance installs, and its reviewers describe camera setups and remote-viewing support. Colorado Security Company’s site lists video cameras with remote access, and a reviewer there had cameras installed with low-profile wiring. Pye-Barker’s site lists video surveillance, but mainly for commercial facilities.

Can I add phone control to an alarm I already have?

A Security Central reviewer asked several companies about adding cell phone control to an existing alarm and said others quoted much more while Security Central came up with a straightforward, inexpensive plan. Another Security Central reviewer got help integrating a client’s alarm with a home automation platform. Ask any company whether your panel can be upgraded or must be replaced.

Which of these companies offers smart-home extras like thermostats or water sensors?

Colorado Security Company’s site lists smart home controls for locks, lighting, garage doors and thermostats, and one reviewer added a water shutoff valve and leak sensors and tied their thermostats into the app. Vivint is listed by Google as a home automation company.

Will the installer show me how to use the system?

Reviewers at Vivint describe reps walking through the system and the app, and a Colorado Security Company reviewer said the crew demonstrated the Alarm.com app. A Security Surveillance System customer needed a follow-up visit to get remote viewing working, so ask to see the app working before the crew leaves.

The takeaway

Vivint is the safe default for a smart-home security system from a national brand. Security Central suits homeowners who want a local alarm company, Security Surveillance System is the camera pick, and Colorado Security Company fits a bundled alarm, camera and smart-home install. Whichever you pick, get equipment, monitoring and contract length in writing.
