Cleveland's Most Trusted Security Service
Count on our local expertise for your home security monitoring needs at Rhodes Security Systems. Our family-owned company has been Cleveland’s #1 choice since 1974!
After decades in the security industry here in Cleveland, we’ve seen firsthand how the right monitoring service can make all the difference. For example, when temperatures plummet below zero during a brutal cold snap near Lake Erie, a pipe can burst while unsuspecting homeowners are visiting family out-of-state. Our monitoring systems detect unusual activity, and we dispatch emergency services before catastrophic damage can occur.
Here at Rhodes Security Solutions, we’ve been protecting Cleveland homes and businesses since 1974. From Shaker Heights to Ohio City, from Mentor to Rocky River, we understand the unique security challenges that Northeast Ohio residents face.

Security monitoring in Cleveland isn’t just about having someone watch over your property—it’s about having a team of local experts who understand your neighborhood’s specific concerns. Whether you’re worried about package theft in Tremont or need extra protection for your lakefront property in Bratenahl, our customized security monitoring solutions are designed to address your exact needs.
We’ve found that most Cleveland homeowners share a common concern: they want reliable protection without complicated systems or budget-breaking monthly fees. That’s exactly why we’ve built our security monitoring service to be both comprehensive and affordable. With climate extremes, varying neighborhood dynamics, and the peace of mind that comes from knowing your home is protected 24/7, security monitoring has become essential for Cleveland residents.
Our team doesn’t just monitor signals—we provide real protection with local knowledge and decades of experience backing every alert.
Comprehensive 24/7 Security Monitoring Cleveland
At Rhodes Security Solutions, our Cleveland monitoring service operates around the clock, 365 days a year. Unlike national companies with call centers thousands of miles away, our monitoring station is staffed by local professionals who understand Cleveland’s unique challenges—from power outages during lake effect snow storms to the specific response protocols of Cleveland Police and Fire Departments.
Our monitoring covers multiple security aspects, including:
- Intrusion detection with immediate response
- Fire and carbon monoxide monitoring
- Temperature and flood sensors (crucial for Cleveland’s variable climate)
- Medical alert monitoring for elderly family members
We maintain direct relationships with emergency services throughout Northeast Ohio, ensuring faster response times than companies operating from out-of-state call centers. For Cleveland homeowners, this local expertise means the difference between generic security and protection tailored to your specific circumstances.
