Wakefield & the surrounding area
Designed for the way Wakefield properties are used.
A shop in Greenwood, a downtown building with apartments above it and an office along the North Avenue corridor need different protection. We start with entry points, hours of use, tenant boundaries and the people responsible for the system.
Businesses, offices & mixed-use buildings
Keep employee entrances, delivery doors and shared areas manageable with appropriate alarm partitions, access schedules and camera views. Tenant changes are a good time to review old user codes, door hardware, camera coverage and fire alarm interfaces together.
Established homes & renovations
Finished walls and existing wiring influence the installation. We can evaluate wired, wireless or hybrid options, then plan door and window protection, motion detection and compatible water-leak or low-temperature sensors around the home and its occupants.
Plan fire alarm work early. Wakefield’s Fire Prevention division handles permits for fire alarm repairs, renovations and new installations and coordinates plan review with Inspectional Services. We help define the submission and inspection path for your project. Wakefield Fire Prevention guidance.

Wakefield office questions.
Where is the Cunningham Security office in Wakefield?
Our Wakefield office is at 607 North Ave, Door G, Wakefield, MA 01880. Office hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Call (781) 321-9551 before visiting so the right team member is available.
Is this the former Central Signal office?
Yes. The Wakefield operation formerly known as Central Signal now operates as Cunningham Security Systems. Contact our Wakefield team for existing account questions, service or new projects.
Do you install home security systems as well as commercial systems?
Yes. We design and install residential and commercial security systems, including intrusion alarms, cameras, access control and compatible environmental protection. Commercial fire alarm design, monitoring, inspections and service are also available.
Can you take over or repair an alarm installed by another company?
Often, yes. We first review the panel model, programming access, communicator, condition and available parts. That assessment tells us whether a takeover, targeted upgrade, repair or replacement makes sense.
Does 24/7 monitoring mean the Wakefield office is always open?
No. Professional monitoring handles signals around the clock on monitored accounts. Office visits and project consultations take place during office hours. Cunningham also has on-call technicians for emergency service requests; call to discuss an urgent need.
