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.
Cleveland is the county seat of White County, but it does not feel like a big city. The downtown square is quiet most evenings, and a lot of the surrounding area is spread out on county roads with long driveways and no close neighbors. That distance is one of the biggest security risks in rural Georgia. By the time someone notices something is wrong at a property like that, the situation has already played out. A monitored security system changes that.
White County is also the gateway to Helen, one of the busiest tourist destinations in North Georgia. That traffic, and the seasonal shift in population it brings, affects the whole area, including Cleveland. Seasonal businesses, storage units, and properties that sit empty for stretches of the year are common targets. Whether you have a home on a county road, a business near downtown, or an outbuilding full of equipment, a site survey will tell you what protection actually makes sense for your situation.
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 all of White County, including Helen, Sautee Nacoochee, Batesville, and the surrounding rural communities. If you are in nearby Dahlonega in Lumpkin County or over in Gainesville in Hall County, Lint Security covers those areas as well. They also work throughout Cornelia and Habersham County, and travel regularly to Hiawassee in Towns County. The company has been making the drive to properties across this part of Northeast Georgia for decades, and distance on a county road has never been a reason to say no.

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.
Rural properties in White County are most often affected by theft from outbuildings, vehicles, and equipment. Homes on county roads with limited visibility are common targets when no one is around. In-town businesses near the Cleveland square can be vulnerable overnight and on weekends. A security camera system paired with a monitored alarm is the most effective combination for both situations.
Cleveland is well within Lint Security’s regular service area. Most customers in White County can schedule a site survey without a long wait. Call (770) 540-8653 or request a survey online at lintsecurity.com/contact to get on the schedule.
Yes. Lint Security installs camera systems that connect to the Alarm.com app, which lets you view live and recorded footage from your phone wherever you are. If your system uses Ubiquiti UniFi Protect, that platform has its own app as well. Keep in mind, though, that remote camera access is separate from alarm dispatch. If an alarm triggers, that goes to Criticom, Lint Security’s UL-listed monitoring partner, not to your phone first. Learn more about monitoring here.
When an alarm triggers on a monitored system, Criticom, Lint Security’s UL-listed monitoring center in Florida, receives the signal right away. A Criticom agent calls you within 10 seconds to verify the alarm. If you do not answer or confirm it is a false alarm, they dispatch police or fire to your property. This happens whether you are across town or out of state. Learn more about home monitoring here.
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.
