SentryDesk is an independent information and referral service, not a security company. Figures describe the service, not any promised result; availability of companies varies by location, building type and system.
How it works
Four steps from first email to a secured space
Here is exactly what happens after you enter your email — no surprises, no pressure, and no one committing you to anything without your say-so.
24/7 monitoring — armed
Armed & monitored
01Step one
Tell us about your sites
Share one email address and, when you're ready, a few basics — how many entrances, whether you already run cameras or alarms, and the coverage you want. That's the whole ask on this page. No floor plans, nothing sensitive.
02Step two
We match you with licensed integrators
We help connect you with independent, licensed and insured commercial security companies that serve your area and building type. SentryDesk doesn't install or monitor anything itself — we make the introductions.
03Step three
Compare scope and quotes
Ask each company for a site walk-through, a written scope and an itemized quote, then compare them like for like. Equipment, monitoring fees and contract terms vary by company, building and market.
04Step four
You choose and schedule the install
Pick the integrator that fits and hire them directly, on terms you agree to in writing. Any contract, monitoring plan and payment is arranged between you and the independent company — never through us.
SentryDesk is an independent information and referral service. We do not install or monitor security systems ourselves — we help connect you with independent, licensed commercial security integrators. Any company you choose is independently responsible for the systems it provides. Pricing and availability vary, and no specific outcome is guaranteed.
What we help with
Every layer of office security, one starting point
Whatever your building needs, we aim to connect you with independent companies that specialize in it. Descriptions below are general information — scope and pricing come from the company you choose.
Access control & smart locks
Keyless entry
Keypads, key fobs, mobile credentials and smart locks that replace physical keys — so you can grant, change or revoke access to any door in minutes instead of rekeying.
Hardware and door count vary by site.
CCTV & video surveillance
Cameras & NVR
Indoor and outdoor IP cameras with recording, night vision and analytics to deter incidents and give you a clear record of who was where, and when.
Camera specs vary by company.
24/7 alarm monitoring
Central station
Burglar and panic alarms watched around the clock by a monitoring center that can verify events and dispatch responders when something trips after hours.
Monitoring plans vary by provider.
Intrusion & motion detection
Sensors & zones
Door, window, glass-break and motion sensors that arm your space after hours and flag unexpected entry the moment it happens.
Zones and sensitivity vary by layout.
Video intercom & visitor management
Entry & check-in
Video intercoms, buzz-in entry and visitor sign-in so front desks and remote managers can see and admit guests, couriers and contractors safely.
Features vary by system.
Environmental sensors
Smoke · water · temp
Smoke, water-leak, temperature and humidity sensors that protect server rooms, stockrooms and equipment from damage you'd otherwise find too late.
Sensor types vary by facility.
Cloud video & remote access
Anywhere access
Cloud-hosted video and mobile apps that let you check any location, review clips and manage access from your phone — no on-site recorder to babysit.
Storage and retention vary by plan.
Integration with existing systems
Works with your stack
Tie cameras, access control, alarms and sensors into one platform — and connect with the badges, directories and networks you already run.
Compatibility varies by hardware.
Compliance & audit support
Records & reporting
Access logs, retention settings and audit-ready reporting to help you meet insurance, industry and tenant requirements without the guesswork.
Requirements vary by industry.
The systems above are general information only. SentryDesk does not install, monitor or supply any of these systems itself — we connect you with independent, licensed commercial security companies. Equipment, monitoring fees and contract terms vary by company, building and market, and no specific outcome is guaranteed. Ask any company for a site assessment and itemized quote in writing before you commit.
When to upgrade
Signs it’s time to modernize your security
Plenty of offices get by on keys and a couple of cameras. But some reach a point where monitored access and real visibility pay for the peace of mind — and these are the moments facility managers tend to reach out.
You're still handing out physical keys
Old locks and copied keys mean no record of who comes and goes — and an expensive rekey every time a key walks off or someone leaves.
You have no remote visibility
If you can't see your sites unless you're standing in them, after-hours activity and multi-location oversight become a guessing game.
You've had a break-in or close call
A theft, a propped-open door or a late-night scare tends to be the moment leadership finally wants cameras, alarms and a real record in place.
Your headcount keeps changing
Growth, turnover and contractors mean constant access changes — far easier with credentials you can issue and revoke instantly than with keys.
Whoever you consider, do a little homework first: get a site assessment and written scope, confirm state licensing and insurance, ask whether the monitoring center is UL-listed, and check references. You can also look up a company at the Better Business Bureau (BBB.org).

We connect you. We don’t install or monitor the systems ourselves.
That is the whole model, and we say it plainly. SentryDesk is an independent information and referral service — the independent, licensed company you choose does the actual installation and monitoring, on terms you agree to directly with them.

Honest about pricing — no guarantees
Equipment, monitoring fees and contract terms vary by company, building and market. We don't promise a price or an outcome — you compare assessments and decide.
Composite stories
What monitored, modern security can feel like
Honest, non-hype accounts of what the referral experience can be like.
Our old building still ran on brass keys, and every time someone left we paid to rekey three doors. SentryDesk connected me with two licensed integrators in a couple of days — I did walk-throughs with both and picked the access-control system that actually fit our budget.
DDenise R. Facilities Manager · Columbus, Ohio
After a break-in over a long weekend, leadership wanted cameras yesterday. What I appreciated was that nobody quoted a magic number by email — I got an itemized scope from two monitoring companies and compared them side by side before we signed anything.
AAnthony M. Office Manager · Tacoma, Washington
We run four clinics and needed one way to see them all. The integrator they pointed us to set up cloud video and access control we can manage from a phone. It felt like a real plan instead of a pile of gadgets.

Hire smart
Security-vetting tips before you sign anything
A few minutes of homework protects your budget and your building. These are genuinely useful habits — and a free public resource — that apply no matter who you choose.
How to choose a commercial security integrator
Whether you work with someone we connect you to or find on your own, run through this short checklist first:
Verify licensing, insurance & UL-listed monitoring. Confirm the company’s state alarm or low-voltage license and commercial insurance, and ask whether its central monitoring station is UL-listed before anyone touches a wall.
Get a site assessment & itemized quote. A written scope and itemized quote — hardware, labor and recurring monitoring — lets you compare integrators like for like and avoids surprises later.
Check contract length & who owns the gear and footage. Ask how long the monitoring agreement runs, how to cancel, and whether you or the provider owns the equipment and recorded video when it ends.
Check references & the BBB. Ask for a couple of clients with similar buildings and actually call them. You can also look a company up at the Better Business Bureau (BBB.org).
