Nighthawk Security was founded in Minnesota in 2003 and has operated for over 20 years, serving businesses in St. Paul 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.
Offices, retail shops, and service businesses all need protection, but the weak points differ. An office often cares most about who enters the building and when. A retail location often cares most about after-hours break-ins. A business with several entrances, such as a street door and a skyway door downtown, needs each one covered. We ask what you need to protect, then design around your answers.

Intrusion detection protects your doors, windows, and interior spaces and forms the base of every commercial plan.

Commercial fire monitoring sends fire alarms to the same central station that watches your burglar alarm, so a fire gets a response when the building is empty.

Access control uses keycards, fobs, or codes in place of traditional keys, and lets you decide who enters which areas and at what times. It runs as a standalone, cloud-monitored service.

Video surveillance adds a visual check to your sensors, with footage you review from anywhere. Our cameras are Avycon commercial cameras.

Proactive Visual Monitoring is an optional deterrent layer. Our central station watches live video and speaks to people on your property through installed hardware. Learn about Proactive Visual Monitoring →

Lone-worker and duress alarms let an employee who works alone, or who feels threatened, call for help right away.
We help you decide which of these your St. Paul business needs, from basic intrusion detection to entry control.
After a sensor at your business triggers, a trained operator reviews the alert, works down your account’s call list, and then contacts local law enforcement or fire services directly. Your account reports to a UL Listed, TMA Five Diamond certified central station, backed by redundant centers in Florida, New Jersey, and California.
Nighthawk Security holds a BBB A+ rating and a 4.7 out of 5 rating on Angi. You get Resideo ProSeries and Honeywell Home equipment, and Avycon cameras when you add video.
We design commercial security across St. Paul, including Downtown and Lowertown, the Capitol area, the Midway, Highland Park, and Frogtown. Downtown St. Paul has an enclosed skyway system, so if your space has both a street entrance and a skyway entrance, we plan coverage for each during your walkthrough. Also see Minneapolis commercial security → and Twin Cities commercial security →.

Your installation starts at $299. Burglar alarm monitoring runs from $37.95 per month plus tax, and fire alarm accounts run from $57.95 per month plus tax. Most commercial accounts run on a typical five-year agreement. We quote access control and video per property, based on entry points, cameras, and storage. We offer a free on-site evaluation, and every plan is custom designed.
