Raleigh anchors the Research Triangle, one of the fastest-growing tech corridors in the country. New construction in North Raleigh, Cary, Apex, and Holly Springs brings thousands of families to the area each year, and many of them want a security system installed before they move in. Older neighborhoods like Five Points, Mordecai, and Boylan Heights have their own needs — from sensor retrofits to discrete camera placement on historic homes.
Property crime in Wake County has stayed above the national average in recent years, and package theft has become a year-round concern thanks to NC State students, RTP commuters, and the steady growth of e-commerce. Combined with hurricane remnants and severe summer storms, more Raleigh households are upgrading from basic alarms to systems with video doorbells, outdoor cameras, and cellular backup that keeps monitoring active during outages.
