Nighthawk Security was founded in Minnesota in 2003 and has operated for over 20 years, serving businesses in Minneapolis and across the Twin Cities. We hold Minnesota Technology System Contractor license TS000435. We discuss your company’s needs, your property, and your budget, then custom design the security solution for you, rather than fitting your business into a generic package.
Retail, office, and restaurant owners face different risks. A store’s biggest exposure is often after-hours loss. An office’s biggest exposure might be a side entrance no one watches after closing. A restaurant’s might be a back door used for deliveries. We start by learning your property, your hours, and what you need to protect, then design your plan from the systems below.

Intrusion detection covers doors, windows, and interior motion, the baseline layer for any commercial account.

Commercial fire monitoring reports to the same central station watching your intrusion alarm, so a fire hazard gets a response after hours.

Access control replaces or supplements traditional keys with keycard, fob, or code-based entry, so you manage who enters which parts of your building and when. Access control is a standalone, cloud-monitored service.

Video surveillance gives you visual verification alongside sensor-based detection, with footage you review remotely. We install Avycon commercial cameras.

Proactive Visual Monitoring adds a deterrent layer. Our central station watches the video and speaks to people on your property through installed hardware. Learn about Proactive Visual Monitoring →

Lone-worker and duress alarms give employees who work alone, or who face a threat, a way to call for help immediately.
We help you decide which of these your Minneapolis business needs, and we plan device placement around your building.
When a sensor at your business triggers, a trained operator reviews the alert and works through your account’s call list before contacting local law enforcement or fire services directly. Your accounts report to a UL Listed, TMA Five Diamond certified central station, with redundant centers in Florida, New Jersey, and California.
We hold a BBB A+ rating and a 4.7 out of 5 rating on Angi. We install Resideo ProSeries and Honeywell Home equipment, plus Avycon cameras for video.
We design commercial security across Minneapolis, including Downtown, the North Loop and its Warehouse Historic District, Uptown, Marcy-Holmes, and Whittier. If your building sits in a historic district or is an older structure, tell us during your consultation so we plan device placement around it. Also see St. Paul commercial security → and Twin Cities commercial security →.

Installation starts at $299. Burglar alarm monitoring starts from $37.95 per month plus tax, and accounts with fire alarm monitoring start from $57.95 per month plus tax. Most commercial accounts run on a typical five-year agreement. Access control and video surveillance are quoted per property, based on the number of entry points, the cameras, and the storage you need. We offer a free on-site evaluation, and every plan is custom designed.
