— Our Top Services
Frederick homeowners want to feel safe without making home security complicated. That is exactly what we help with at Shankles Optimum Security. We serve Frederick from our base in nearby Middletown, and we know the mix of historic homes, newer neighborhoods, growing families, and small businesses in this area. Whether you want a basic alarm system, a full camera setup with AI detection, or smart security you can control from your phone, we build a system around how you actually live.
Frederick is known for its beautiful downtown, family neighborhoods, and easy access to commuter routes. With that comes a real need for reliable home security, video surveillance, life safety protection, and remote access. We install systems that help protect your doors, windows, garages, and main entry points while also giving you simple control through the Alarm.com app. Our goal is peace of mind when you are at home, at work, or away for the weekend.
We do not believe in one-size-fits-all security. We start with a walk-through of your home or small commercial property, listen to your concerns, and recommend the right mix of protection. We also offer free inspections to help determine what you need for proper coverage.
When you call, text, or email us, we aim to respond within about 5 minutes when possible. We can often schedule a same-day or next-available site visit. During that visit, we walk the property with you, count doors and windows, check for motion and glass-break needs, review camera locations, and talk through smart home and life-safety options. We even look at wiring paths carefully so we can keep camera installs clean and avoid unnecessary patch or paint work.
After the visit, we send a detailed estimate within 24 to 48 hours. That estimate includes parts, labor, tax, and clear product descriptions, so you know exactly what you are getting. Once approved, we handle the installation, activate the system, and train you on how to use everything. You will not be left guessing.
We are a small company by design, and that means you get personal attention. We take the time to explain your options, answer questions clearly, and recommend what makes sense for your home and budget. Many customers call us because they want peace of mind for their family, better visibility around their property, and a cleaner, more reliable setup than DIY systems often provide.
We work throughout Frederick, including Downtown Frederick, Ballenger Creek, Spring Ridge, Whittier, Wormans Mill, Urbana, and nearby surrounding communities. If you are in Frederick and want a better alarm system, upgraded cameras, smart locks, or monitored security, we are ready to help.
If you are building a new home, upgrading an old alarm, or finally ready to add cameras and monitoring, give Shankles Optimum Security a call at (227) 252-0200. We would be glad to schedule your free inspection, walk your property, and build a security system that fits your needs.

"Extremely happy with the effort and results from Shankles Optimum Security. Bruce was able to stand up a new system which included wiring and configuration of 8 new cameras in just a few days. He spent time tweaking the cameras to ensure we had the best results for our needs at the Mid-Town Laundromat. He also took time to train us using the app on our phones. He is very knowledgeable and thorough. We highly recommend."
"Bruce and SOS Systems were amazing to work with for my med spa. As a busy medical office, security is critical, and Bruce took the time to understand our needs and make us feel completely confident in our setup. Professional, kind, and reliable from start to finish. Our security alarm and cameras give me peace of mind. We truly appreciate the care and attention he provides and highly recommend SOS Systems!"
