Custom alarm systems, smart cameras, and 24/7 monitoring — installed and serviced by the same craftsman who answers your call. Serving every town across Nassau & Suffolk.
No call centers, no rotating technicians. You'll work with the same person from quote to install to the call you make five years from now.
Custom-designed intrusion alarms with hardwired or wireless sensors, keypads, and panic features tailored to your home's layout.
Crisp indoor/outdoor camera installations with mobile viewing, night vision, and properly mounted weatherproof housings.
Door locks, garage sensors, smoke & CO detectors, and motion lighting — unified into one app you'll actually use.
Inheriting an old system? We service legacy panels, replace dead batteries, and modernize what's worth keeping.
Optional central-station monitoring with police, fire, and medical dispatch — no long contracts, no upsells.
Walk-throughs and honest recommendations. If you don't need it, we'll tell you. That's how we've stayed in business since 1983.
We come to your home, listen to your concerns, and assess what you actually need — not what we want to sell.
Clear, flat pricing in writing. No hidden monitoring lock-ins or surprise add-ons.
Cabling run discreetly, sensors placed to disappear, walls left exactly as we found them.
Battery dies at midnight? Alarm tripped on vacation? You call the owner. Directly.
Based in Westbury, on call from the Queens border to Montauk Point. We travel — same day for emergencies, same week for new installations.
Real customers from real Long Island towns — Nassau, Suffolk, and everywhere in between.
"We'd been with a national company for years and never met the same technician twice. The Safeway guys redesigned our whole system, fished every wire inside the walls, and the owner himself followed up a month later to fine-tune it."
"Storm took out our cell-cellular communicator at 11pm on a Sunday. Called the number, owner answered, had a new one installed by Tuesday morning. Try getting that from ADT."
"Honest people doing honest work. They walked me through what I actually needed, talked me out of two cameras I would've bought just because, and the invoice matched the quote to the penny."
"We own three storefronts in Patchogue. Safeway designed the alarm, cameras, and access control as one system, all on one app. Six years in, zero false dispatches."
"Inherited a 1990s panel when we bought our Westbury house. They modernized everything in a single day, kept the wiring we could reuse, and didn't try to upsell us into a contract."
"Three generations of my family have used Safeway. My dad in Levittown, my brother in Smithtown, and now me. That tells you everything."
The honest side-by-side. No asterisks, no fine print — just what each company actually delivers on Long Island.
