Safe & Sound Alarm Systems

What Safe & Sound Alarm Systems does

Safe & Sound Alarm Systems, Inc. is a privately held, Bend, Oregon-based regional security services provider that has operated for over 30 years serving residential and commercial customers throughout Oregon. The company sells and professionally installs integrated security systems built on the Alarm.com cloud platform, combining intrusion detection, 24/7 UL-certified professional monitoring, video surveillance, access control, fire alarm services, smart home automation (lighting, thermostats, locks, garage doors), and specialty offerings such as the HazeGuard fog system, Shooter Detection Systems, remote guarding, and independent living/wellness monitoring. Service areas span Central Oregon, the Willamette Valley, the Portland metro, Eugene, and Southern Oregon, with thousands of customers across homeowners, businesses, and increasingly senior-care households.

The business model is subscription-recurring: customers pay monthly monitoring fees (basic plans starting under $1/day, full-feature packages at $39.99/month) plus per-device monthly fees for individual sensors, cameras, and automation modules, with equipment financed over 36-60 months at 0% APR through Smart Home Pay (WebBank) or purchased up front. Go-to-market is direct-sales-led via website quote requests, phone consultations, and a referral program that awards a free month of monitoring for referred conversions; free professional installation is included as a standard acquisition lever. The company carries UL listing for residential and commercial burglar and fire alarms, CSAA 5-Diamond monitoring certification, NICET Level IV fire alarm design credentials, and FM Mutual compliance, supporting regulatory credibility across both consumer and commercial sales channels.

In December 2025, Safe & Sound acquired BomaShield with financing from Alarm Financial Services, signaling an active roll-up posture in a fragmented regional alarm dealer market. Recent product launches include the HazeGuard fog system (May 2025) and Autonomous Outdoor Drone Monitoring (2024). The firm is privately held with no disclosed institutional investors, operates from a single Bend headquarters with field service across Oregon, and reports a headcount of 11-50 employees. Revenue is not publicly disclosed; pricing signals, customer base scale, and employee count together suggest a small but mature regional services business in the low-to-mid single-digit millions of annual revenue.
