Edmond has earned its reputation as one of the best places to live in Oklahoma — great schools, quiet neighborhoods, and a strong sense of community. But even in a city like Edmond, homeowners are thinking more seriously about home security than they used to. Porch theft, garage break-ins, and car burglaries in driveways are the kinds of crimes that show up in every growing suburb, and Edmond keeps growing.
A professionally monitored alarm system is still the single most effective step you can take to protect your home — and it works whether you’re home, at work, or on vacation.
Why Edmond Homeowners Are Adding Monitored Security Systems
Self-monitored cameras from a big-box store are a start, but they have a gap: they only record what happened. If your phone is on silent, in a meeting, or you’re on a plane, an alert from an app doesn’t send help.
Professional alarm monitoring closes that gap. When a sensor trips — a door, a window, a motion detector, a smoke alarm — the signal goes to a 24/7 monitoring center staffed by real people. They verify the alarm and dispatch Edmond police, fire, or medical responders when it’s real. That happens in seconds, whether or not you ever see the notification.
Edmond homeowners tell us the same reasons again and again: packages disappearing from porches, unlocked cars gone through overnight, kids home alone after school, aging parents living independently, and long stretches away from home for work or travel.
What a Modern Home Security System Includes
Today’s systems are wireless, app-controlled, and a long way from the keypads of twenty years ago. A typical Globelink system for an Edmond home can include:
Door and window sensors on every entry point, plus glass-break and motion detection inside. A smart doorbell camera and outdoor cameras you can view live from your phone. Smart locks and garage door control, so you never wonder if you locked up. Smoke, carbon monoxide, and flood/freeze sensors — protection that matters during Oklahoma storm season and hard winter freezes. And full control from one app: arm and disarm, get instant alerts, and check in on the house from anywhere.
Because the equipment is wireless, most homes are installed without drilling through walls or running new wiring — and if you already have a wired system from another provider, in many cases we can take it over and put it on our monitoring instead of replacing everything.
Local Monitoring Beats a National Call Center
When your alarm goes off, who answers matters. National companies route your signal to whichever call center picks up, staffed by people who have never heard of Edmond. Globelink Security Systems is a local Oklahoma company (Oklahoma License #795). We know the neighborhoods we protect — from Oak Tree and Coffee Creek to the homes around Mitch Park and downtown Edmond — and our monitoring plans start at $12.99/month with no long-term contract required.
Local also means local service. If a sensor needs attention or you want to add a camera, you’re calling a company in your own community, not a 1-800 number.
Questions to Ask Before You Buy
Before signing with any security company, ask: Is monitoring month-to-month, or are you locked into a multi-year contract? Does the system keep working if the power or internet goes out? (Ours uses cellular backup.) Can you control it from your phone, and is the app included? What happens to your equipment if you move? And is the company licensed in Oklahoma?
If a company can’t answer those plainly, keep looking.
