Description of Work: They installed exactly the wired system I asked for and their monthly monitoring rates with cellular were one of the lowest around. Plus no multi-year contracts. Another bonus was local monitoring, which the owner was very proud of. We dealt with the owner, Roger Score, and one of his technicians. Unfortunately that is where things went downhill. We had some issues with pets triggering the motion detectors, even though the installation technician told my wife they would not be triggered by an animal up to 50 lbs. She called Roger told him what the technician told her. He called her a liar and told her his technician would never have said that. My wife asked me then to cancel the service. I decided to give them another chance since I paid then $1200 to install the system. Thats when the next hiccup occurred. Several times we had a door blow open or other false alarms. We came home several times with the sheriff at our house, and our neighbors told us there were times when the sheriff showed up we didn't even know about. We checked our phones every time and there were no missed calls, even though we were supposed to be called first for a tripped alarm. We asked Roger what might be happening and he just told us to update our preferred phone number list. Then he admitted that they has abandoned the alarm monitoring business due to cost, and outsourced it to a national company to maintain the $30/mo rate. This was the last straw, so I cancelled the service when it came up for annual renewal. One last thing...Roger Score is highly politically opinionated and feels it is necessary share his views with his clients. Sometimes he would pontificate for what seemed like an hour, when he only stopped by for a 5-15 minute service - very annoying.

Description of Work: Tucson Alarm is a small family owned and operated company that was recommended to us by our remodeling contractor. The owner says that they have a large number of commercial and residential accounts around Tucson. The installation work was done by the owner and his son-in-law. On the first day of installation the son-in-law was having some sort of medical problem, and was behaving very strangely, but on the return visit he was fine. | |The equipment that they installed is high quality, and has been working without any problem for the six months since installation. We have a security monitoring contract with the company, but so far have had no events triggering a response from them, so cannot evaluate that aspect of the operation. I believe their prices are on the high end, although I did not do a careful comparison shopping.

Steve really knows his stuff when it comes to security systems. He showed up promptly to assess our security needs and give us a bid. He was the third company we had called and unlike the others who were interested in selling their "package" with little regard for what we needed or wanted, Steve took time to listen to our concerns and designed a system to match our needs and lifestyle. His crew of installers work only for him and have been with him for years which was important to us, since we wanted trusted people only in our home. The crew arrived the next day, walked us through what they were going to do and allowed us to confirm the placement of equipment and details of the installation. They were great guys, worked quickly and cleaned up after themselves. They answered all our questions and provided us with needed technical information. We are very pleased with Guard Pro and highly recommend them to those seeking quality security services and equipment. You can find cheaper security systems and installers, but is cheap really what you want in security matters? We wanted quality and trusted installation and we feel we got just that from Steve and his team.
Description of Work: Steve gave us a detailed quote, then installed a wireless security system for our home and established a monitoring service.

We had an extensive alarm system installed. Roger Score was very informative over the phone and was this was the only alarm company I found that recommended using the pre-wired infrastructure already installed in my house by the builder. I have sensors on every window and door as well as two motion sensors. The system connects to a wireless phone so no land line is required. Their interactive monitoring via smart phone was the lowest price I found anywhere - only $30 per month. My wife loves being able to secure/unsecure the the house remotely, and the texts that let her know when our daughter locks and unlocks the house. The installers arrived five minutes early and got the system installed in one day. They soldered (instead of twisted or crimped) all sensor connections for lifetime reliability. I compared to the DIY online companies like Frontpoint, but went with TA because the total cost of equipment plus monitoring was comparable, but TA provides real service. They even offer a service that responds with a real security guard, which is handy when you get an alarm when out of town. So far, I highly recommend Tucson Alarm.

THEY WERE RUNNING A GOOD SIGN-UP OFFER, WHERE ALL I HAD TO PAY FOR WAS THE MONITORING SYSTEM MONTHLY. ALL THE INSTALLING AND EQUIPMENT WAS FREE. THE ONLY PROBLEM I HAD WITH THEM WAS THEIR RESPONSE TIME. THAT HAS BEEN BETTER SINCE I COMPLAINED.
