Residential and commercial services

Security, fire, camera and access-control solutions

We evaluate the property, design the right combination of devices and communications, verify signals with the monitoring center and show users how the finished system works. Explore the service most relevant to your project.

Designed for local properties

Why local experience changes the system design

The best equipment list depends on the building, its users and the risks that matter at that address. A Portland storefront, a Falmouth residence and a seasonal coastal property should not receive the same default package.

Coastal and seasonal homes

Remote arming, cameras, water detection and low-temperature monitoring can be especially valuable when a home is unoccupied, weather changes quickly or a small mechanical problem could go unnoticed.

Portland-area businesses

Restaurants, offices, retail, healthcare, multifamily and mixed-use properties often need coordinated intrusion, video, access and fire-alarm solutions rather than separate systems that are difficult to manage.

Older and changing buildings

Renovations, additions, legacy wiring and existing alarm equipment require an on-site review. When practical, we can evaluate reusable equipment and recommend a takeover or phased upgrade instead of unnecessary replacement.

Commercial fire-alarm expertise

Local support for Portland and Maine fire-alarm requirements

Cunningham provides fire alarm equipment, installation, monitoring, inspections and service for commercial properties. For Portland projects, we work within City requirements and coordinate drawings, permits, testing and documentation with the authority having jurisdiction when required.

Cunningham is included among the City of Portland’s approved fire alarm companies. Property owners and managers can also consult the Maine Office of State Fire Marshal for statewide fire-safety resources.

  • Site review and system design
  • Plans, permits and AHJ coordination when required

What to expect

Installation and testing

Technicians install and program the system, test devices and send test signals to confirm communication with the monitoring center.

Training and support

We explain codes, apps and system operation, then remain available for service, inspections, additions and future upgrades.
