Call (850) 964-5254We answer the phone (850) 964-5254 with a real person (or our AI dispatcher trained on real Locksmith Chick jobs) and give you a real number before dispatching anyone to Mary Esther. We carry licensed, insured technicians — not unvetted subcontractors — and we hold ourselves to a FL standard of security camera installation. That means we show up in a marked vehicle, in uniform, with the parts and tools to finish the job in one trip more than 90% of the time. The Okaloosa County corridor — Mary Esther, Fort Walton Beach, Shalimar, Destin — is our backyard.
Inside Mary Esther we regularly work in Sound Side, Hurlburt area, including the Santa Rosa Mall, Hurlburt Field gate area. If your address is near any of those, expect a fast response.

A typical 4-camera residential install in Mary Esther runs $650 to $1,400 including PoE cabling, NVR setup, and app configuration. Larger systems (8+ cameras, multiple buildings) we quote on-site after a free walk-through. We do not charge for the quote.
Yes. We install Ring, Nest, Eufy, and Arlo doorbell cameras and run hardwired power so they do not depend on battery swaps. Most doorbell installs in Mary Esther take 45 to 75 minutes including app setup.
With a UPS battery backup and cellular failover (which we recommend in coastal Mary Esther), yes — for several hours. We size the UPS to your camera count and recording window. Without a UPS, cameras stop recording when grid power fails.
Almost always. We use attic-and-soffit fishing techniques common to Mary Esther-area construction (block, frame, and stucco) to run PoE cable cleanly. We will show you the planned cable path before drilling anything.
NVR systems use IP cameras over network cable (Cat6 / PoE), record higher resolution, and let you view and clip remotely. DVR systems use older coax cabling — fine for replacing existing analog systems, but limited. For a new install in Mary Esther we almost always recommend NVR.
