Which Puyallup businesses and neighborhoods do we cover?
Downtown, the fairgrounds-area retail strip, the Canyon Road and River Road business corridors, and the houses of South Hill and Sunrise. Downtown Puyallup along Meridian and Pioneer is small storefronts with a back door onto an alley and a register near the front window. Those get MotionCam on the floor, a camera over the till and a keypad for staff.
The blocks around the Washington State Fair grounds fill with traffic for three weeks in September and sit quiet the rest of the year. That is exactly the pattern that draws after-hours theft. The Canyon Road and River Road corridors are shops, contractors' yards and small warehouses that need outdoor detectors on the fence and cameras on the gate.
South Hill and Sunrise are two-story homes on cul-de-sacs with a garage, a side gate and a back deck. The alarm design there is simple, and the cameras go on the driveway and the gate.
Our office is at 415 Railroad Ave S in Kent, about 20 minutes away by SR-167 and SR-512.
What should a Puyallup business system include?
Intrusion, cameras, access control and one app that shows all three. Intrusion is an Ajax hub with MotionCam detectors that photograph what tripped them, so the operator and the owner both see a person before police are called. Cameras record people and vehicles, not headlights, and can live in the cloud or on a local recorder.
Access control is an Akuvox reader at the staff door with PIN, fob or face and a log of every opening; we hold Akuvox installer certifications (ACIA and ACII). The Hub 2 Plus supports up to 200 users, so a second Puyallup location or a Sumner branch runs in the same app. Full scope is on the business security page.
What does a South Hill or Sunrise home get?
An Ajax Hub 2 Plus, door and window sensors, MotionCam detectors, a keypad and cameras on the driveway and gate. MotionCam sends the first photo within 9 seconds1. The hub keeps Ethernet, Wi-Fi and two cellular SIMs live2. Hardware carries the Ajax 24-month warranty3. Two-story homes with an attached garage sometimes need a range extender for a garage door sensor. The platform is on the home security page.
How does a verified alarm reach Puyallup Police?
A detector trips, MotionCam captures a photo burst, and the hub sends it over whichever channel is alive. A central-station operator reviews it and calls you, and a confirmed intrusion goes to dispatch with a description. For a business, that verified call is the difference between a siren the neighbors ignore and a patrol car. Self-monitoring sends the same photo to your phone at no monthly cost.
How do we install in a business that is open?
Around your hours. Design starts with a walk of the floor plan: every door, the register, the stockroom, the yard. On commercial projects in Puyallup our own team designs and supervises, and licensed trade partners run cable under that design. Devices are configured, tested and staff trained before we leave. Homes are installed by our own team.
What drives the cost?
Door count, camera count and access control. A single storefront with two doors and three cameras is a small job; a warehouse with a yard, four doors and a dozen cameras is not. Cloud video adds a per-camera monthly charge; local recording does not. Access control adds a reader per door. Ajax hardware is yours and monitoring is month to month. We do not publish Ajax kit, installation or monitoring prices on this page; the Ajax cost page explains what moves the number, and the instant quote gives you one.
Who monitors it?
A UL-listed central station staffed 24 hours a day. Operators see the MotionCam photo before they act. Owners, managers and a cleaning crew each get their own code, and the app shows who armed and disarmed and when.

Questions we hear
What should a Puyallup business security system include?
Four things: intrusion detection with photo verification and cameras that record people and vehicles. Then access control with a log of who opened which door, and monitoring that puts all of it in one app. A shop needs the first two; an office or clinic needs all four.
Can I run two Puyallup locations on one system?
Yes. Each site gets its own Ajax hub, and the Hub 2 Plus supports up to 200 users, so an owner, managers and cleaners each get their own code. Every location shows in the same app, with per-site arming and alerts.
Do you handle retail near the fairgrounds?
Yes. The Meridian Avenue and fairgrounds-area strip is a smash-and-grab target after hours, especially in September. We place MotionCam on the sales floor and back door, cameras over the register, and a keypad at the staff entry.
How much does business security cost in Puyallup?
It depends on doors, cameras and whether you want access control. We do not publish Ajax kit or installation prices on this page. Tell us the address and door count and we send a written proposal; the instant quote gives a starting number.
Do you also do homes in Puyallup?
Yes. South Hill and Sunrise houses get an Ajax hub, door sensors, MotionCam and cameras on the driveway and back gate, with the same month-to-month monitoring. Two-story South Hill homes often need a range extender for the garage.
Is there a contract?
No. Monitoring through Becklar, a UL-listed central station is month to month, and the hardware is yours the day it is installed. Self-monitoring through the app has no fee.
How far is Puyallup from your office?
About 25 minutes from 415 Railroad Ave S in Kent by SR-167 and SR-512, a little more to South Hill. Site visits and service calls are booked within the week, and we call or text back within one business day.
