The Problem
Why Are You Paying More Just Because It's Called a “Business” Account?
Most commercial security providers charge businesses 30–50% more for identical equipment. Same cameras. Same sensors. Same monitoring centre. Different invoice. Here's exactly what they don't want you to know:
The "Commercial" Tax
$300/Year for Nothing
Home monitoring starts at $24.99/mo. Business monitoring starts at $49.99/mo — for the same hardware. That gap is $300/year in pure commercial surcharge with zero additional value.
Contracts Designed So You Can't Leave
Up to 100% termination fees
3–5 year contracts. Early termination fees up to 100% of your remaining balance. Relocating? Downsizing? Closing a location? Doesn't matter. You're still paying.
The Rate-Hike Playbook
Prices doubled in under 4 years
Ring doubled subscription prices in 2023. SimpliSafe raised rates 3x in 4 years. Brinks adds "regulatory recovery fees" after Year 1. What you sign today is never what you'll pay in Year 3.
ADT Business pricing per ADT.com, March 2026. Ring pricing history per Ring public announcements, 2023. SimpliSafe rate history per customer communications, 2021–2025.
Vivint business monitoring starts at $39.99/mo — the same AI-powered hardware used in over 2 million installations. No commercial surcharge. No rate-hike history. No runaround when you need to talk to someone.
But here's what most security companies also get wrong: they sell you a system designed for generic risk — not yours. Here's what actually matters for your type of business:
8
seconds
Average Vivint monitoring response time
vs. 60+ second industry average
When your alarm triggers, Vivint's in-house monitoring center responds in 8 seconds — not 60. Police are dispatched before most intruders realize the alarm isn't going to stop.
Vivint Commercial System
Enterprise-Grade Hardware. Zero Commercial Markup.
Vivint AI Security
The same system. No commercial surcharge.
4K HDR Cameras
AI Smart Deter
8-Second Response

One App

Industry Solutions
What's the Biggest Security Risk for YOUR Business?
Select your business type. We built a different solution for each one.
Employee and customer theft costs U.S. retailers $112B+ per year
- Shoplifters visually scan entry points — stores without visible deterrents go on their list
- Employee theft accounts for up to 75% of inventory loss — most happens when you're not watching
- Consumer-grade systems generate false alarms that result in $250+ city fines per incident
- Most retail break-ins happen within 60 seconds of alarm trigger — standard monitoring is too slow
How Vivint solves this
AI Smart Deter cameras activate a spotlight and 85dB siren the moment a threat is detected — before entry, not after. Most incidents are deterred before a window is broken. Insurance carriers give discounts for documented deterrence systems. The 8-second monitoring response means police are in transit before most intruders get inside.

The Math That Changes the Conversation
Typical competitor at $49.99/mo = $599.88/year
ShieldHome Pro at $39.99/mo = $479.88/year
Year-1 monitoring savings alone = $120.00
Before you add:
- Insurance premium discount (5–20%) = up to $2,000/yr saved
- Contract buyout if switching = up to $1,000 covered
- Section 179 tax deduction = deduct full equipment cost in Year 1
- Theft prevention value = avg. break-in costs $2,661+ in losses
Why ShieldHome Pro
The Security System That Stops Crime — Not Just Records It
Most cameras film the crime. This one prevents it.
AI Smart Deter identifies a loitering threat and activates a spotlight + 85dB siren before anyone enters the building. Criminals move on. Your business stays intact. Insurance carriers love the documentation.
Police dispatched before your alarm stops ringing.
Vivint's in-house monitoring centre responds in 8 seconds — not 60 like the industry average. That 52-second gap is where break-ins are completed. Ours aren't.
Someone quits on Friday. Their access is gone by Friday.
Per-employee smart lock codes you grant or revoke instantly from your phone. Text alert every time any code is used. No locksmith. No waiting. No wondering.
Other providers need 3 apps. ShieldHome does it in one.
Arm, disarm, watch live feeds, lock doors, review footage — one app. No platform-juggling. No gaps. This is the number one complaint from every business customer switching to Vivint.

Real Results
Business Owners Who Made the Switch — And What Happened Next
Mike C. — Parkside Bar & Grill
Denver, CO · Jan 2025
Insurance dropped $400/year. ADT contract was $74/mo for the same hardware.
“We were paying ADT $74 a month and didn't really know what we were getting for it. Two months after switching, a guy came to our rear entrance at 11pm. The Smart Deter camera hit the spotlight and siren the second he touched the door handle. He ran. We watched it live on the app from home. Our insurance dropped $400 that year. I'm genuinely angry I didn't do this sooner.”
Tara L. — Mesa Verde Boutique
Phoenix, AZ · Feb 2025
Saving $300/year vs. former ADT business plan — for the exact same hardware.
“I didn't know ADT had a separate business rate until ShieldHome walked me through the comparison side by side. I was paying $61/mo for the exact same monitoring my friend gets for her home for $29. Nobody told me that. Nobody at ADT was ever going to tell me that. I switched the same week. Setup was one morning.”
Jason R. — Property Manager, 6 locations
Austin, TX · Dec 2024
Access code changes now take 30 seconds. Used to cost $800/month in locksmith fees.
“Before ShieldHome I was calling locksmiths every time a tenant moved out. One month I paid $800 in locksmith fees across three properties. Now I open the app, revoke the old code, set the new one, done in 30 seconds. The system paid for itself in the first two months.”
Sandra K. — Clearwater Legal
Salt Lake City, UT · Mar 2025
Fully installed in 3 hours. Previous provider took 12 minutes to respond to a break-in attempt.
“We had a break-in attempt at our previous location. The alarm went off but our old provider took almost 12 minutes to respond — the intruder was long gone. The 8-second response time from Vivint was the only reason we chose ShieldHome. The installer explained everything, finished in under 3 hours, and picked up the phone on the first ring when I had a question a week later.”

ShieldHome Pro Is NOT the Right Fit for Every Business
We'd rather tell you now than waste your time on a call. Here's an honest assessment of where we're great — and where we're not.
This is NOT for you if:
- You need enterprise-scale coverage across 50+ locations (we focus on 1–10 location businesses)
- You need specialized industrial CCTV with custom server infrastructure
- Your insurance requires a specific non-Vivint monitoring company by name
- You want to self-install — our process requires a certified technician installation
This IS for you if:
- You're a small-to-medium business owner currently paying a commercial markup for identical hardware
- You want professional installation without the $99–$300 fee competitors charge
- You need per-employee access control without a locksmith on speed dial
- You're on ADT, Brinks, Ring, or SimpliSafe and want to see an honest cost comparison
If you're not sure whether we're the right fit — that's exactly what the is for. No pressure, no pitch. Just an honest answer about whether this makes sense for your business.

Common Questions
Questions We Get From Business Owners Before They Switch
Equipment and installation are identical — same 4K cameras, smart locks, and AI hardware used in residential installs. Business monitoring starts at $39.99/mo, comparable to residential Smart Home plans. There is no commercial surcharge on hardware the way ADT structures their business pricing. ADT's business monitoring floors at $49.99/mo for the same system.
Simple and unconditional. If you're not completely satisfied within 30 days of installation — for any reason — we'll send a certified technician back out, adjust the system to your exact needs, or refund your first month's monitoring fee. No conditions. No arguments.
We cover contract buyouts up to $1,000 regardless of your current provider. Your ShieldHome Pro will assess your exact situation on the audit call. In most cases, the monitoring savings plus the buyout means you're financially ahead from Month 1. For contracts with more than $1,000 remaining, we'll calculate whether switching still makes sense — and we'll be honest if it doesn't.
Yes. Vivint supports multiple locations under one account and one app. Your ShieldHome Pro will quote each location individually. Multi-location customers typically see larger total savings because the commercial markup compounds across every site. We focus on businesses with 1–10 locations.
100% free installation by a certified Vivint technician. The arrangement is that you become a Vivint monitoring customer — the free installation is tied to the monitoring plan. Your ShieldHome Pro will be completely transparent about the full cost structure on the audit call. No surprises, no hidden fees.
In almost every case, yes. Professionally monitored security systems typically qualify for 5–20% discounts on commercial property insurance premiums. We provide the documentation your carrier needs. Most business owners save $500–$2,000/year. Ask your ShieldHome Pro about your specific carrier on the call.
Monitoring agreements range from month-to-month to multi-year. Longer plans include better equipment promotions and pricing. Your ShieldHome Pro will walk you through what makes financial sense for your specific situation — no pressure to commit to any term.
ShieldHome Pro is an authorized Vivint dealer with exclusive promotions — like the current free AI camera upgrade and $1,000 contract buyout — that aren't always available direct. You're still a full Vivint customer with all warranties, monitoring, and support. We just get you better entry-point deals.
Two layers of protection. Our 30-Day Satisfaction Guarantee covers the first month completely. After that, Vivint's lifetime equipment warranty covers hardware failures with remote diagnostics and on-site technician dispatch when needed. ShieldHome customers also have a direct line to our team for the lifetime of their account.
Typically 24–48 hours from quote to fully installed system. Single-location businesses are usually complete in half a day (2–3 hours on-site). Multi-location businesses: we stagger installations to minimize disruption.
For most businesses — yes. Vivint generates the documentation most carriers require: 24/7 monitored alarm certificate, access control logs with timestamps, and video retention records. For highly specific requirements (certain HIPAA configurations, state-specific mandates), your Business Pro will confirm compatibility on the call. We don't guess on compliance.
Yes — and this is often the fastest path. If you have Vivint residential, adding a business account or upgrading existing equipment is streamlined. Call us at (801) 616-6301 and ask about the business upgrade path.
