Custom alarm & camera installation

Installations engineered for your home — not pulled off a shelf.

Every Safeway install starts with a free in-person walk-through. We design the system around your floor plan, your routine, and your risk — not a one-size-fits-all kit a salesperson is paid to push.

Walk-through first, quote second

We map every door, window, blind spot, and cell-signal dead zone before recommending a single sensor. The written quote is fixed — no day-of upsells.

Wireless, encrypted, supervised

Honeywell and 2GIG sensors with 128-bit AES encryption and battery supervision. If a sensor goes quiet, you and the central station both know within minutes.

Cameras that earn their keep

4K Hikvision and Hanwha cameras with on-device AI — person and vehicle detection, license-plate capture, smart motion zones. Footage stored locally, not in someone's cloud.

Smart-home that actually works

Z-Wave locks, garage controls, thermostats, and lighting integrated into one app. Tested on your Wi-Fi before we leave — no "call the manufacturer" tickets.

Future-proof panels

Qolsys IQ Panel 4 and Honeywell ProSeries — touchscreen, LTE + Wi-Fi dual path, Z-Wave hub built in. Same panel works whether you add 6 sensors or 60.

NY-licensed, fully insured

NY State Burglar Alarm License #12000041632. Two-million-dollar liability policy on file. We pull permits when required — every time.

Long Island benefits

Built around how people on the Island actually live and work.

Coastal-weather-grade hardware

Salt air off the South Shore and Sound eats cheap sensors. We spec gasketed exterior contacts and IP66-rated cameras rated for Long Island humidity, nor'easters, and tri-state freeze-thaw cycles.

Designed for older LI housing stock

Plaster walls, knob-and-tube remnants, finished basements, detached garages — typical of pre-war Nassau and North Shore homes. Our techs know how to fish wireless and hardwired runs without tearing your house apart.

Permits handled for your village

Hempstead, Oyster Bay, Babylon, Brookhaven, Southampton, East Hampton — we know which AHJ requires what, pull the permits, and pass inspection the first time.

Built for the LIRR commuter household

Geofenced arming, smart locks for the dog walker, camera clips on your phone before you hit Jamaica — the system runs whether you're home, at work, or out east.

Multi-building & multi-zone friendly

Detached garages, pool houses, in-law suites, barns, separate office buildings — one panel, one app, separate arming groups so the kids can disarm the house without touching the shop.

Insurance-discount documentation

Allstate, State Farm, GEICO, NYCM, and Plymouth Rock all give credits for centrally-monitored UL-listed systems. We issue the certificate the day you go live.

Why choose Safeway

Local hands. Senior technicians. No call centers.

Senior techs only — no rookies on your house

Every installer on the truck has 10+ years on the wire. The person who designs your system is the person who installs it.

Clean, finished work

We fish wires inside walls when we can, run conduit cleanly when we can't, and patch and paint behind ourselves. Your home should not look like a job site when we leave.

Family-run since 1983

Three generations in Westbury, thousands of Long Island homes protected. The owner answers the phone — and shows up if something goes wrong.

No long-term contracts

Monitoring is month-to-month. If we don't earn your business every 30 days, you're free to leave — but in 40+ years, almost no one has.

Frequently asked

Questions Long Island homeowners and business owners ask us.

How long does a typical Long Island home installation take?

+

Most single-family residential installs in Nassau and western Suffolk finish in one day. Larger North Shore and Hamptons properties with multiple outbuildings, or homes needing extensive in-wall wire fishing, may run 1.5–2 days. We give you a fixed schedule in writing before we start.

Do you need to drill through my walls?

+

Rarely on perimeter sensors — modern wireless contacts mount with peel-and-stick or two small finish nails. For cameras and panels we fish wires inside walls or attics whenever the structure allows. When we do need to drill, every penetration is sealed and color-matched.

Can you install in a co-op or condo (e.g. in Long Beach or Garden City)?

+

Yes. Wireless systems are ideal for co-ops and condos because they require zero structural modification. We provide the building's super or board with our COI and license documentation, and we work within whatever quiet-hours rules the building has.

What about new construction or full renovations?

+

We work directly with your GC and electrician during rough-in to pre-wire low-voltage runs for hardwired sensors, cameras, structured AV, and access control. Pre-wire is dramatically cheaper than retrofit, so the earlier you call us, the better.

Do you install systems for businesses too?

+

Yes — retail, restaurants, medical/dental offices, light industrial, and multi-tenant commercial across Long Island, Queens, and NYC. Commercial scopes typically add access control, addressable fire panels, and integration with existing IT infrastructure.

Are you licensed and insured in New York?

+

Yes. NY State Burglar Alarm Installer License #12000041632, plus a two-million-dollar general liability policy. We can email both certificates before we set foot on your property.
