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

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.
Dahlonega is not a high-crime area, and that is part of what makes it easy to underestimate. Most full-time residents have lived here for years and feel safe, and they are right to feel that way most of the time. But Lumpkin County’s mix of permanent residents, vacation cabins, seasonal tourists, and student housing creates a pattern that keeps overall crime low while leaving specific property types more exposed than their owners expect.
Vacation rentals and mountain cabins sit empty for days or weeks at a time, and that vacancy is visible from the road. The historic downtown square and the Dahlonega Plateau wine trail draw steady foot traffic all day, and businesses that see that volume during hours tend to look like easy targets at night. Properties near the University of North Georgia turn over their occupants every year, which means security systems often go dormant or get ignored between tenants. The properties that do get broken into around Dahlonega are almost always the ones that look the easiest. A monitored alarm, a camera at the entrance, and a yard sign is often enough to change that calculation entirely.
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.
Vacation rentals and cabins need a different setup than a full-time residence. The biggest gap is usually visibility: nobody is around to notice if something is wrong between guests. At a minimum, Lint Security recommends a monitored alarm system, exterior cameras covering the entrance and any outbuildings, and professional monitoring so there is always someone watching. Cellular backup is also worth considering for mountain properties where a phone line or internet connection may be unreliable. A site survey is the right starting point since every property has a different layout and different exposure points.
Yes. Lint Security installs systems with cellular backup communicators built for areas with limited or inconsistent signal. The system tests its connection on a regular basis and flags any communication issues. For remote properties, equipment selection and communicator placement matter a lot, which is exactly why a technician visits the property before any recommendation is made. The site survey determines what will actually work at that location, not what looks good on a spec sheet.
Lint Security covers Lumpkin County broadly, not just properties inside Dahlonega city limits. If your home or cabin is on a mountain road, at the end of a long driveway, or in a part of the county that other companies do not bother with, call us. We do site surveys on rural and remote properties regularly. If your location is genuinely outside our service area, we will tell you honestly. You can reach us at (770) 540-8653 or through the contact page.
Downtown Dahlonega businesses deal with a specific mix: high foot traffic during peak tourist season, slower off-season periods, and historic building layouts that were not designed with modern security in mind. Lint Security typically looks at exterior cameras covering the storefront and any rear or alley entrances, a monitored alarm system for after-hours protection, and where relevant, access control for back-of-house entry. The commercial monitoring page has more detail on what professional monitoring actually covers for a business. A site survey will give you a specific recommendation based on your storefront and how you operate.
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.
