Local Coverage

Close enough to show up. Licensed enough to matter.

Rochester's security market is crowded with national brands pushing proprietary equipment and long monitoring contracts. RCR competes on the opposite model: we're a New York State licensed security and alarm installer with a brand-agnostic policy — we spec the system that fits your building and budget, explain the reasoning in plain English, and don't lock you into hardware you can't take to another vendor.

We serve businesses throughout Rochester and Monroe County — downtown and the East End, the Jefferson Road corridor in Henrietta, Greece and the Ridge Road strip, Brighton, Gates, Webster, and out to Victor and the Eastview area. We're especially well suited to multi-site clients: companies with locations in Rochester plus Syracuse, Ithaca, or the Southern Tier get one vendor across all of them.

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.
