24/7 Emergency Service
Local & Family-owned
Rhodes Security Systems has worked in the wooded estates surrounding the Chagrin Valley Hunt Club since 1974, and we know what makes this stretch of Gates Mills different. Long private driveways, dense tree cover, and historic landmark homes create blind spots that standard security packages were never designed to cover. Many properties here also carry equestrian outbuildings that need coverage beyond the main house. When estate homeowners near the Chagrin Valley Hunt Club need home security installation, they call Rhodes Security Systems. Schedule your service today or call us now.
Perimeter Coverage for Long, Wooded Driveways
Most homes near the Chagrin Valley Hunt Club sit back from the road, screened by mature trees on five-acre-plus lots that often border the Gates Mills Land Conservancy. That distance creates blind spots between the property line and the front door. We install driveway alert sensors and perimeter cameras to close those gaps. A system that only watches the house misses what happens before someone reaches it.
Security That Respects Landmark and Legacy Homes
Old Mill Road runs through a village serious about historic preservation. Homes near the Village Hall and Community House often carry Landmark or Legacy designations, with original woodwork, leaded glass, and masonry a standard install could damage. We route wiring and mount hardware built for these properties, not a subdivision approach. The house stays intact. The protection does not.
Covering Stables, Barns, and Equestrian Outbuildings
Living near a working hunt club means security rarely stops at the front door. Tack rooms, barns, and detached garages hold real value and are often the last thing checked at night. We extend camera coverage and door sensors to these outbuildings, not just the main house. A stable break-in is still a break-in.
Remote Monitoring for Homeowners Who Travel
Between business trips and kids at Gates Mills Elementary School during the day, these homes often sit empty. A system that only alerts someone standing in the kitchen is not much use. We set up smartphone monitoring with real footage, not just a notification, so homeowners can check in from anywhere.
Reliable Connectivity Despite Heavy Tree Cover
Dense tree canopy along the Chagrin River corridor is beautiful, and it is also a known cause of weak wifi and cellular signal. A system that drops connection during a storm defeats its own purpose. We build in cellular backup and battery reserves so monitoring keeps running when the power or the internet does not.
We also serve customers near Gilmour Academy, St. Francis of Assisi, and North Chagrin Reservation.

Security Questions for Gates Mills Estate Homeowners
Can a security system be installed in a historic or landmark-designated home without damaging it?
Historic and landmark-designated homes can get a security system installed without damage to their original character. We route wiring and mount hardware in ways built for homes with original woodwork, leaded glass, and masonry, rather than using a standard subdivision approach. The house stays intact, and the protection does not.
What happens to the system if the power or internet goes out?
If the power or internet goes out, the system keeps running through cellular backup and battery reserves built into every install. Dense tree cover along the Chagrin River corridor can weaken wifi and cell signal, so we plan for that ahead of time. Monitoring will not stop just because a storm knocks out service.
Can I monitor my property remotely while I'm traveling?
Remote monitoring lets you check in on your property anytime you’re away, whether it’s a business trip or just a day at Gates Mills Elementary. We set up smartphone monitoring with real footage, not just a notification, so you always know what’s happening at home. Call (440) 946-6685 to get started.
