Commercial Security Systems in Ithaca, NY | Cameras, Access Control & IT

Local Coverage

Close enough to show up. Licensed enough to matter.

Ithaca businesses have a choice between national alarm companies that dispatch from hours away and one-person camera installers with no license behind them. RCR is the third option: a New York State licensed security and alarm installer headquartered about an hour away in Binghamton, with commercial clients across the Southern Tier and Finger Lakes.

We serve businesses throughout Ithaca and Tompkins County — downtown and the Commons, the Route 13 commercial corridor, Cayuga Heights, Lansing, Dryden, and Trumansburg. From retail storefronts and restaurants to offices, medical practices, warehouses, and multi-unit properties.

Because we handle both physical security and IT, your cameras, door access, alarm panel, and network are designed as one system with one company accountable for all of it — instead of three vendors pointing at each other when something goes down.
