Smart Security System Installation

At Shankles Optimum Security, we help families and small business owners protect what matters most. We are a family-owned, licensed and insured security company based in Middletown, MD, and we bring 10+ years of hands-on experience to every job. Our goal is simple: give you real peace of mind with security systems that are built around your property, your concerns, and your daily routine.

We do not believe in one-size-fits-all systems. We take the time to walk your property, listen to what is worrying you most, and design a setup that makes sense. That may include alarm installation, camera installation, 24/7 professional monitoring, life safety devices, smart locks, light control, access control, or garage integration through MyQ. Everything is customized so you get the protection you need without paying for things you do not.

What it is like to work with us

When you call, text, or email us, Bruce aims to respond within about 5 minutes when possible. We also offer same-day quotes or visits when scheduling allows. From the first conversation, we focus on being clear, honest, and easy to work with.

• Fast callback and simple scheduling
• Same-day or next-available site visit
• Reminder and ETA text before the appointment
• Detailed on-site walk-through of your home or business
• Clear estimate within 24 to 48 hours
• Installation, activation, and training once approved

During the visit, we look at doors, windows, motions, glass breaks, wiring paths, internet connection, and any weak points around the property. We also talk through smart home features like Z-Wave locks, Z-Wave light switches, and remote control through the Alarm.com app. If you want smoke, heat, carbon monoxide, or flood protection tied into your system, we can build that in too.

Security solutions tailored to your home

Most of our work is for residential customers who want a safer home and less stress when they are away. We build layered systems that help protect your perimeter and give you better visibility day and night.

• Alarm systems with door and window sensors, motion detectors, and glass break sensors
• Camera systems with AI detection for people, cars, and animals
• Smart security with mobile access from your phone, tablet, or computer
• Life safety protection including smoke, heat, CO, and flood sensors
• Garage and entry control with MyQ garage hubs and app-based lock control

We also support custom homes from start to finish. If you are building a new home or upgrading an older system, we can design the layout, pre-wire before drywall, install devices once the home is ready, activate the system, and train you on how to use everything.

Professional camera and alarm installation

A good security system should work well and look clean. For camera installation, we plan device placement carefully and evaluate wiring paths to help hide wires and avoid extra patching or paint when possible. For alarm installation, we make sure the system covers the right areas and is easy for you to use every day. We want your system to be dependable, easy to control, and built to last.

Our camera systems can help deter threats before they become bigger problems. With smart alerts and AI detection, you can quickly see what is happening at your property, even when you are not there. Our alarm systems add another layer of protection by helping detect break-ins, unauthorized entry, and safety hazards early.

Monitoring and support you can count on

We offer 24/7 professional monitoring through a trusted third-party monitoring station. After we install your system or take over an existing one, we set up the account, activate the service, and make sure you know how to use it. If you want around-the-clock support and faster emergency response, monitored security is one of the best ways to protect your property.

We stand behind our work with a 1-year labor and parts guarantee, and we also honor applicable manufacturer warranties, including longer product coverage on certain equipment. That gives you added confidence that your investment is protected.
