What Our Clients Say
- System integration★★★★★
“These guys handle serious commercial work. The security installers knew exactly how to integrate with our building's access control without disrupting daily operations.”
Katherine JenkinsBuilding access control integration
- Access control★★★★★
“I hired Highline to update the system that controls the 5 exterior doors at my commercial property. I was previously using tech from the early 2000s. The Highline team was great -- good communication, completed work in a timely manner, was able to troubleshoot issues and resolve them quickly.”
Vishal HotchandaniCommercial property owner
- Security cameras★★★★★
“We run 5 construction sites and highline's construction security solutions have saved us thousands in prevented theft. The mobile alerts when anyone enters after hours give us peace of mind and evidence if needed.”
Blake WillisFive construction sites
- Managed service★★★★★
“Ari and Tony are professional, reliable, and are experts in their business. Communication and billing is easy. I have been working with them in a corporate setting for a long time, and am looking forward to continuing to work with them.”
Bianca MurilloLong-term corporate client
- Alarm systems★★★★★
“Called for security system repair after our old system kept false alarming. Instead of just patching it, they recommended upgrading to newer equipment that integrates with our existing structured cabling. Made the right call - system runs perfectly now and the monitoring is more reliable.”
Emery RomeroCommercial alarm upgrade
- Turnstiles★★★★★
“I manage a commercial property in Midtown and we needed turnstiles installed for our lobby. Highline Integrated Security handled the full job including the cabling and panel work. They coordinated with our building super and finished within the timeframe they gave us. The turnstiles have been running without issues for three months now.”
Bella ThomasMidtown commercial property manager
- Structured cabling★★★★★
“Wiring job for our new office build out was done right. Low voltage runs are clean, nothing looks rushed or messy. Cameras are positioned exactly where we asked.”
Veronica TylerOffice build-out
- Commercial doors★★★★★
“Tim and his crew were very helpful and knowledgeable installing our magnetic lock system, and went above and beyond making sure our release remotes works from every corner of our store.”
Sammy MerkinRetail store, magnetic locks

Tenzin TsonyiBuilding intercom replacement
- Security design★★★★★
“Tony came out and mapped out camera locations that actually made sense for our layout. The security camera installation team finished everything in one afternoon and the footage quality is sharp even in our poorly lit back office.”

FAQs
Commercial security systems FAQs
What do commercial security systems in NYC include?
Commercial security systems in NYC typically include access control, video surveillance, intrusion detection, intercom and visitor management, plus the cabling, networking and software that connect them. We design them as one system, supported by one partner.
How much does a commercial security system cost in New York City?
The cost of a commercial security system in New York City depends on the building more than the brand. Door count, hardware per opening, cable paths, camera count and platform licensing all move the price. We price each project from a site assessment.
Do commercial security systems in NYC need permits or approvals?
Whether commercial security systems in NYC need approvals depends on the building and the scope. Electrified locks on egress doors must release as NYC code requires, and work on designated landmarks may need Landmarks Preservation Commission approval. We settle these at design stage.
What should you look for in a commercial security company in NYC?
When comparing commercial security companies in NYC, look for New York State licensing, certification on the platforms being installed, and the ability to design, install and maintain the whole system. Ask for comparable buildings, how the system will be documented at handover and what response times apply after go-live.
Can you work with our existing commercial building security system?
Yes, we can work with an existing commercial building security system, including one installed by another firm. We keep sound hardware and cabling and add new technology to it, with no full rip-and-replace.
Do you provide support after installation?
Yes, we support every system after installation, and each one is backed by a 12-month warranty. Managed-service clients get 24/7 support with a 4-hour response on critical failures, from the team that installed the system.
