Straight answer: there are two parts — a one-time cost for equipment and installation you own, and an optional monthly monitoring fee. No leased gear, no long contracts. The fastest way to a real number is our builder.
Unlike Vivint or Telus — who finance leased equipment into a 42–60 month contract — Loch charges once for gear you keep, plus a low optional monthly fee if you want professional monitoring.
A typical Ajax starter package — hub, door sensors, a motion sensor and a keypad — starts around $520 in equipment. NDAA-compliant AI cameras start at $180 each, a Yale smart lock is about $450, and a video doorbell around $350. Professional installation is a flat $500. You get a fixed quote after a free assessment — nothing buried in fine print.
Number of doors, windows and cameras is the biggest factor. A condo needs far less than an acreage or a storefront.
NDAA-compliant cameras from $180 each, smart locks, doorbells and automation add to the one-time cost — all yours to keep.

You see the equipment price up front and own everything. There’s no leased hardware to hand back, no early-termination penalty, and monitoring is a choice you make month to month — because when an alarm trips at 3 a.m., we’d rather earn your business than lock you into it.
