Our philosophy
Most big security companies are built around a simple business model: lock you into a contract, route your data through their servers, and make switching as painful as possible. Your alarm history and your home's behaviour patterns live on their infrastructure - not yours.
CastleOak is built on the opposite principle. Your system is professionally monitored with no lock-in, your equipment is yours outright, and you're dealing with a local company that actually knows your home.
Purpose-built for your home
With CastleOak, you're working with a local expert who designs a system for your home - not a national utility that ships an alarm in a box. That's a genuinely different experience.
- —Encrypted two-way wireless communication between every sensor and the panel
- —Jam-resistant signal technology - if interference is detected, the system automatically switches frequencies and alerts you
- —Full remote arm/disarm via mobile app
- —Instant push and SMS alerts
- —Battery backup providing hours of autonomous operation if power is cut
- —Cellular LTE communication built in. No land line required.
What we offer
Both CastleOak and the Big Telco providers include a comparable entry-level sensor kit - one motion detector and two door/window contact sensors - as the foundation of a monitored alarm system. The difference is what happens after that.
With a Big Telco, the equipment is rented. It goes back when you cancel. With CastleOak, everything is yours from day one - the panel, and every sensor we install. If you ever switch monitoring providers, move, or simply change your mind, the system moves with you.
CastleOak maintains formal certification within the UniFi ecosystem.

Thinking about cameras and a video doorbell too?
Most alarm companies offer a video doorbell as a simple monthly add-on - a cloud-connected device that streams footage to a third-party server you don't control.
CastleOak takes a different approach. Our video doorbells and exterior camera systems use enterprise-grade UniFi equipment that stores footage locally - on your property, not in someone else's cloud. No subscription, no data harvesting, and no third party with access to your front door.
If that level of investment makes sense for your home, we'd love to talk about alarm monitoring and a camera solution together. If you're focused on alarm monitoring only for now, our alarm system stands completely on its own.
