Reston Security System Installation Experts

If you live in Reston, you already know how important it is to protect what you’ve built. Between busy neighborhoods, townhomes, single-family homes, and small businesses, every property has different security needs. At Shankles Optimum Security, we install custom alarm systems, security cameras, and smart security upgrades that help you keep an eye on your home or business from anywhere. Our goal is simple: give you real peace of mind with a system that works for your daily life.

We’re a family-owned, licensed and insured security company based in Middletown, MD, and we proudly serve customers in Reston, VA. With 10+ years of hands-on experience, we know how to design systems that are reliable, easy to use, and built around the way you live. Whether you want a full home security system, outdoor cameras with AI detection, life-safety devices, or 24/7 professional monitoring, we’ll walk you through it and make the process easy.

Built for the way Reston lives

Reston is known for its planned communities, active neighborhoods, trails, shopping areas, and mix of modern homes and established properties. That means security is not one-size-fits-all here. Some homeowners want strong perimeter protection with door and window sensors. Others want video doorbells, driveway cameras, smart locks, garage control, and mobile app access. We help you choose the right setup without overselling anything you do not need.

We also work with homeowners who are upgrading older alarm systems, moving into a new house, or finishing a custom home. If you want your security system tied together with Z-Wave locks, smart lighting, MyQ garage hubs, smoke detection, carbon monoxide detection, heat sensors, or flood protection, we can build a system that gives you layered coverage.

What it’s like to work with us

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 in Reston. During that visit, we walk the property with you, talk through your concerns, and look at important details like entry points, camera views, wiring paths, internet coverage, and smart device goals.

For alarm systems, we count doors, windows, motions, and glass break locations, and we review life-safety options too. For camera systems, we evaluate placement carefully so we can hide wiring where possible and avoid unnecessary patching or paint repair. After the visit, we send a detailed estimate within 24 to 48 hours with parts, labor, tax, and clear product descriptions. Once approved, we complete the installation, activate your system, and train you so you feel confident using everything.
