Home Security Systems Services Headquartered in Granby, CO
When you own a home in the mountains,
security has to do more than send alerts. It has to work reliably when the property is empty, when weather turns rough, and when internet or cell service is less than ideal. At Michael’s Audio & Video, we install home security systems that are built for the realities of Grand County living. Our team provides security camera installation, Ring security installation, ELK security systems, wireless security systems, hardwired security systems, and full remote home monitoring solutions for full-time homes, second homes, and rentals. With 30+ years of local experience, we help homeowners protect what matters with systems that are dependable, easy to use, and professionally installed from the start.
Security in the Mountains Comes with Different Challenges
A standard security package is not always enough for a mountain property. In this area, many homes sit vacant for stretches of time, especially vacation homes and short-term rentals. Some properties are tucked away in more remote locations. Others deal with wildlife activity, changing weather, and construction materials like log walls or stone that can make installation and signal strength harder to manage.
That is why our approach is different. We look at the property, the layout, the connectivity, and the real risks involved. Then we design a security system installation that makes sense for the home and the people relying on it.
Our Home Security Services
We offer complete security planning, installation, testing, and training so our customers know their system is set up the right way and know how to use it confidently.

Because we provide complete installation and support, our customers do not have to guess whether everything is connected properly or working the way it should.
ELK and Ring Security Options Based on What Your Home Needs
Not every property needs the same kind of system. Some homeowners want the convenience and flexibility of Ring security installation, especially for cameras, doorbells, and quick mobile access. Others prefer the added dependability of ELK security systems.
We install both ELK and Ring, which lets us recommend the right fit instead of pushing a one-size-fits-all option. If your home is already wired for security, we can install a hard-wired ELK system for maximum reliability. If it’s not pre-wired, we install a strong wireless solution using Ring or ELK wireless components. For many mountain properties, we also recommend a blended approach that combines hard-wired protection (where possible) with wireless devices for the best balance of coverage and convenience.
Reliable WiFi Matters More Than Most People Realize
One of the biggest reasons security systems fail is the network. If WiFi is weak, inconsistent, or poorly placed, outdoor security cameras can drop offline, security system access becomes frustrating, and alerts may not come through the way they should.
That is why we put strong emphasis on reliable mountain WiFi. As a Starlink Authorized Dealer, and with experience installing Ubiquiti and Eero mesh systems, we help create the foundation your security system needs to perform properly. For homes in Winter Park, Fraser, Tabernash, Hot Sulphur Springs, Kremmling, and throughout Grand County, that strong network can make the difference between a system that looks good on paper and one that truly protects the property.
Security Solutions for Full-Time Homes, Rentals, and Empty Properties
A full-time home has one set of needs. A vacation rental or second home has another. That is why we tailor our recommendations based on how the property is actually used.
For vacation home security, we often help customers prioritize:
- Easy remote home monitoring while they are away
- Camera coverage
- Alerts that are simple to understand and respond to
- Dependable performance during vacancy periods
- Systems that are manageable for owners, guests, or property managers
We also keep installation quality in mind. Clean professional installation matters, especially in custom homes where exposed wiring or poorly placed equipment can ruin the look of a room or exterior.
