Whether you're securing your family's home or keeping your business protected around the clock, we build systems around how you actually live and work.
Who We Protect
Home Security
Security systems should fit your life, not the other way around. We design and install home security systems around your property, your schedule, and your comfort level. No upselling. You get what you actually need, nothing more.

Commercial Security
Locking up for the night doesn't make your business secure. We design and install commercial security systems that meet code, hold up to everyday use, and keep you informed around the clock.

Anyone can sell you a security system. Not everyone will still be there when something goes wrong ten years later. We will be.
National companies sell accounts, close branches, and route you to out-of-state call centers. Lint Security has been here since 1985 and grew entirely on word of mouth.
From the first call to the final installation, every person you interact with is a Lint employee. Not a contractor. Not a call center. Someone who works here every day.
When your alarm goes off, our monitoring partner Criticom calls you right away. If you do not answer, they send police or fire. No app alert. A real person.
ADT and Vivint sell you a package over the phone. We come to your property first and build a system around what you actually need.
We hold a GA LVA license plus Access Control, and CCTV certifications. Every job is done by our own technicians.
Hiawassee sits on the shore of Lake Chatuge in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains. A large portion of the properties here are vacation homes, rental cabins, or lake retreats that are not occupied year-round. When a property sits empty for stretches of the year, it becomes a more visible target. Theft from unoccupied cabins and homes is a real problem in mountain communities like this one, and it often goes unnoticed for days before anyone realizes something happened.
Full-time Towns County residents deal with a different version of the same problem. The roads here wind through the mountains, and properties can be isolated enough that neighbors would not notice an issue even if they were home. Lint Security installs systems that report to a professional monitoring center the moment something triggers, day or night, whether you are on the lake or two states away. In a county where law enforcement response can take longer than in more populated areas, that instant connection to a monitoring center makes a real difference.
Our Process
Tell us about your home or business. We'll ask a few quick questions to understand what you need before we schedule anything.
We come to you. Our licensed technician walks your property, identifies your vulnerabilities, and puts together a recommendation based on what they actually see.
You get a clear, itemized quote. No pressure, no hidden fees. We walk you through every line so you know exactly what you're getting and why.
Our certified technicians handle the full installation. Before we leave, we walk you through your system and make sure you know how to use it.

See all FAQsWhen your alarm triggers, a signal is sent immediately to Criticom, our UL-listed central monitoring station. A trained operator contacts you within seconds to verify the alert. If they cannot reach you, or if there is a confirmed emergency, they dispatch police, fire, or EMS to your property right away. No action needed on your end. Criticom monitors your system 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, so you are covered whether you are home, at work, or out of town.
Vacant properties need two things: detection and monitoring. A security camera system lets you check in remotely through an app, and a monitored alarm means someone is always watching even when you are not. When an alarm triggers, Criticom, Lint Security’s UL-listed monitoring partner, calls you within 10 seconds and dispatches police or fire if you do not answer. A technician will survey your cabin and tell you exactly what coverage makes sense for the layout and how often the property is occupied.
Yes, as long as there is cell service at the property. Most modern security panels and cameras communicate over cellular rather than a landline or internet connection, which makes them reliable even at properties without consistent Wi-Fi. Lint Security will check connectivity during the site survey and recommend equipment that works for your specific location. If your property has spotty cell service, they will tell you that upfront.
It does not matter where you are. When an alarm triggers on a monitored system, Criticom receives the signal and calls you within 10 seconds. If you do not answer or cannot confirm it is a false alarm, they dispatch police or fire to your property right away. That response happens the same way whether you are in Hiawassee or across the country.
