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.
Toccoa is a tight-knit community, but property crime happens here like it does in most small towns. Car break-ins, home burglaries, and theft from outbuildings and sheds are the most common calls. In the more rural parts of Stephens County, properties tend to be more spread out and harder to watch. That distance from neighbors is fine until something goes wrong. Professional monitoring means if an alarm triggers at your home, Lint Security’s monitoring partner calls you within 10 seconds and dispatches police or fire if you do not answer. You do not have to rely on a neighbor noticing.
A lot of Toccoa properties have more than just the main house to think about. Detached garages, workshops, storage buildings, and equipment out back often go unprotected. Lint Security starts every job with a site survey. A technician walks the full property with you, not just the front door, so the system covers what actually needs to be covered. Whether you have a small home in town or a larger property out in the county, the survey is free and there is no pressure to buy.
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.
Tagline
Lint Security serves Toccoa and all of Stephens County, including Martin, Avalon, and the communities along the Lake Hartwell corridor near the South Carolina line. To the west, they cover Cornelia in Habersham County and Commerce in Jackson County. If you are in Lavonia, Royston, or anywhere along the I-85 corridor in Northeast Georgia, call and ask.

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.
Yes. Lake Hartwell properties are a common request. Cabins and lake homes often sit empty for stretches at a time, which makes them a target. Lint Security installs cellular-based systems that do not depend on a landline or home internet, so your cabin stays monitored even if the power or cable goes out. Professional monitoring through Criticom means someone is watching around the clock. Cameras with remote viewing let you check in from wherever you are. A technician will come out to the property first to assess what it actually needs.
It does, and here is why. Professional monitoring does not wait for you to notice something is wrong. The moment an alarm triggers, Criticom calls you within 10 seconds. If you do not answer, they dispatch law enforcement immediately. That dispatch happens faster than if a neighbor called 911 after hearing something. The system also creates a documented record of the alarm event, which matters if there is a break-in or insurance claim. Distance from the station is a reality in rural areas. Monitoring does not fix that, but it closes the gap as much as possible.
A Lint Security technician comes to your home, walks the property with you, and looks at entry points, outbuildings, blind spots, and anything that might need coverage. They ask questions about your lifestyle, whether you have pets, how often the property is empty, and what your concerns are. After that, they put together a quote specific to what your property needs. No packages, no guessing. The survey is free and takes about 30 to 60 minutes depending on the size of the property.
Yes. Lint Security installs both alarm systems and camera systems, and they can be integrated so everything runs through the Alarm.com platform. That means you can view live and recorded camera footage from your phone, get motion alerts, and arm or disarm your alarm all from one app. The camera app is for your own viewing. Alarm dispatch is handled separately by the Criticom monitoring center, not the app, so if an alarm triggers and you do not respond, help gets dispatched automatically.
We’ll come to you. A free site survey costs nothing and commits you to nothing. Let us assess your property and put together a plan that fits your needs.
