How much does a security system cost in Edmonton?

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.

The two parts of the cost

Equipment you own + optional monitoring

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.

What drives the price

How much to cover

Number of doors, windows and cameras is the biggest factor. A condo needs far less than an acreage or a storefront.

Cameras & extras

NDAA-compliant cameras from $180 each, smart locks, doorbells and automation add to the one-time cost — all yours to keep.

Monitoring (optional)

Self-monitor free from the app, or add professional 24/7 monitoring month-to-month. Recommended, never required, cancel any time.

No surprises

Why our pricing is different

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.
