Most security companies answer "how much does it cost?" with "it depends — book a call." Fair enough that every home is different, but you deserve real numbers before a rep ever shows up. So here's an honest 2026 breakdown for the Edmonton and Leduc area, using the actual gear Loch Security installs — equipment you own outright.
Start with a bundle
For most homes, the sensible starting point is an Ajax intrusion bundle: a Hub 2 Plus control panel, two door/window sensors, a motion sensor and a keypad. That package runs $580.60 in equipment — the backbone of a system you can grow over time.
From there you add what your home actually needs.
What individual pieces cost
Intrusion & alarm
- Hub 2 Plus control panel (Wi-Fi, Ethernet, dual-SIM LTE backup) — $365.40
- Door/window sensor — $51 (or $68.53 for the shock + tilt version)
- Motion sensor — $101.18, or $199.83 with a built-in photo-verification camera
- Glass-break sensor — $71
- Keypad — $121.84 (touchscreen version $348.08)
- Indoor siren — $80.41; outdoor StreetSiren — $190.09
Cameras (NDAA-compliant, AI)
- Wired IP cameras — from $254.40 (5 Mp) or $301.25 (8 Mp)
- Video doorbell — $343.02
- 8-channel recorder (1 TB) — $550.37
Life safety & smart home
- Combined smoke / heat / CO detector — $165.20
- Water-leak detector — $66.87
- Yale smart lock (app-controlled) — $340.55
All prices are in Canadian dollars, before tax, for equipment you own. A typical whole-home system with cameras lands well above the starter bundle once you cover every door, the main living areas and the exterior — your free assessment produces an itemized quote so there are no surprises.
Then choose how you pay: own or lease
This is where Loch is different from the national brands. You get a genuine choice:
- Own it outright. Buy the equipment, it's yours, and monitoring (if you want it) is month-to-month — cancel with 30 days' notice. No multi-year handcuffs.
- Lease it. Prefer to protect cash flow? A monitored 36-month plan gets you a complete, professionally installed system with little to no upfront cost.
The national door-to-door brands typically offer only the lock-in lease, with pricing that arrives via a sales rep and support that routes through a call centre. We install and support locally.
What about monitoring fees?
Monitoring is optional when you own your equipment, and it's the piece most companies bury. We lay both the equipment cost and any monitoring cost out plainly so you can decide what's worth it for your home.
