Residential security, done plainly

Expert-designed security you install yourself.

We didn't take the security professional out of the process. We took the sales pitch out of it.

No appointment. No call for pricing. No countdown clocks.

The model, in one paragraph

A security professional designs your system based on your home and how you live in it. We program the Ajax equipment before it ships. You mount it — most systems are screws and adhesive, not wiring. If you want a monitoring center watching it, add monitoring. If you'd rather watch it yourself, that's a legitimate choice too.

You know your home. We know security.

How the guided survey works

Four steps, no theatrics

Answer a few questions

Doors, windows, motion, fire, how you want to arm it. Roughly five minutes.

Why Real Good

  • Experienced security people, not commissioned salespeople.
  • A curated set of Ajax equipment we actually trust.
  • Prices are posted. We make a fair profit and say so.
  • Professional monitoring is optional, not a hostage situation.
  • We'll recommend the cheaper option when it's the right one.

Radical transparency

Why do we do it this way?

In-home security surveys exist mostly to close a sale. The useful part — a professional asking good questions and explaining tradeoffs — takes about five minutes. We kept that part, put it online, and skipped the rest. Fewer trucks and fewer salespeople means we can charge less and still stay in business.

Fulfillment and support

We configure and quality-check your system, then ship it with labeled devices and instructions. If you get stuck, contact us — a person who knows the equipment answers. When you're finished installing, tell us and we'll review the system and start monitoring if you selected it.
