Commercial Security in St. Paul, Custom Designed for Your Business

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.

A Plan Built Around Your St. Paul Business

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.

The Systems We Build From

Indoor dome security camera for intrusion detection

Intrusion detection

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

Red fire alarm monitoring keypad

Commercial fire monitoring

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.

Proximity card reader and keypad for commercial access control

Access control

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.

Outdoor bullet video surveillance camera

Video surveillance

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

Proactive Visual Monitoring

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 →

Personal medical alert transmitter

Lone-worker and duress alarms

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.

Local Response, Backed by Redundant Monitoring

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.

Why St. Paul Businesses Choose Nighthawk Security
