Security Help Guide is a free service that connects homeowners with local security companies and installers. We are not a security company, alarm dealer, or monitoring provider, and we do not sell, install, or monitor security systems.
Alarm and security-system installers in Ohio are regulated by local building and permitting offices rather than a statewide alarm board. Ohio does not require a state license to install burglar alarms or cameras (fire-alarm work is regulated separately). Cities and counties set their own permit and false-alarm rules. Wherever you are, confirm an installer meets the rule that applies before work begins, and ask how any monitored alarm should be registered locally.
