Ur Wire Guy is a locally owned security systems installer and monitoring service serving Oklahoma City and surrounding areas, handling both residential and small commercial installations with a focus on hardwired and wireless camera systems, alarm monitoring, and smart home integration.
The company operates as a full-service security provider rather than a box-store or national franchise alternative. The owner handles most installations personally, which means less scheduling flexibility than larger outfits but direct accountability for system design and setup. Ur Wire Guy installs wired and wireless camera systems, door and window sensors, motion detectors, and glass-break sensors. They also monitor alarms 24/7 through a third-party center and offer integration with smart home platforms like Google Home and Amazon Alexa. The business does not sell packaged systems; installations are custom-designed for each property.
Ur Wire Guy charges for installation labor separately from equipment. Labor rates run approximately $65 to $85 per hour, with most residential camera system installations taking 4 to 8 hours depending on wire routing and camera placement. A basic four-camera hardwired system typically costs $2,000 to $3,500 total, including equipment and labor; a two-camera wireless system starts around $1,200 to $1,800. Monthly monitoring fees are $15 to $25, depending on whether you add smart home features. Equipment brands include Hikvision, Uniview, and Dahua for cameras; these are commercial-grade but not consumer-brand names like Ring or Nest. The company does not offer equipment financing or lease-to-own plans. Verify current rates by calling directly, as labor pricing can shift with material costs.
Ur Wire Guy differs from national chains like ADT and Vivint in one critical way: no long-term monitoring contract. You pay month-to-month, and you own your equipment outright after installation. ADT and Vivint typically require 3- to 5-year monitoring contracts and charge $40 to $60 monthly. Big-box retailers like Best Buy offer professional installation of consumer cameras (Logitech, Arlo) at lower upfront costs (systems starting around $1,000), but the cameras are cloud-dependent, require subscription video storage, and installers have less flexibility on placement. Choose Ur Wire Guy if you want local service, no contract lock-in, and commercial-grade hardware. Choose Best Buy if you prefer major-brand support and integrated Geek Squad service. Choose ADT or Vivint if you want brand recognition and willingness to absorb installation costs upfront in exchange for contract commitment.
Ur Wire Guy is built for homeowners who plan to stay in their property long-term, want to avoid monitoring contracts, and value the ability to call the same technician for service calls. It also suits small business owners (dental offices, retail shops, warehouses) looking for custom camera layouts without franchise pricing. The service does not suit renters who cannot modify walls or run permanent wiring, or homeowners who want a quick setup and minimal involvement. It also does not match customers who prefer plug-and-play systems or who need 24-hour phone support through a national call center.
A first visit is a consultation and site survey, not an installation. The owner or a technician walks the property, identifies camera placement points, checks roof or wall routing for cable runs, and discusses your security goals and budget. This visit is free or charged at a reduced rate (confirm when booking). You receive a written quote detailing equipment, labor hours, and monthly monitoring fees. Once you approve, installation is scheduled within 1 to 3 weeks depending on demand. On installation day, expect the team to be on-site for the duration of the job, mount cameras, run cable (either through walls or conduit), test sensors, and program the monitoring center connection. You will receive system documentation, passwords, and training on arming and disarming.
Ur Wire Guy operates Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., with Saturday availability by appointment. The company does not maintain a retail storefront; all work is conducted at your location. Emergency service outside standard hours is available for existing monitoring customers at a premium rate (verify current after-hours fee). There is no waiting room or office visit needed. Installations are performed at your home or business on a scheduled date. Verify availability and current hours by phone before contacting them.
Ur Wire Guy fills a gap in Oklahoma City's security market for customers who want local, contract-free monitoring and custom installations without the overhead of national brands or the limitations of consumer-grade systems.
