Description of Work: Removed old Westec Alarm System and installed new Interlogix control panels using existing window/door sensor wiring. Added rate-of-rise sensor in garage, and glass-break and motion detector sensors to the interior. About 35 sensors were involved so it was a large job. We also added an internet backup system in the event the land line telephone failed to alert the monitoring center. Work took about 3 days and we are extremely satisfied with the quality and expertise of the super-responsive team. A definite recommend. We also changed alarm monitoring company and committed to a year contract with SecureTech which resulted in a big discount on the installed hardware.

While most companies take the route of one size fits all, we believe we got you good full custom protection at a reasonable price too. Both you and your wife are very pleasant to work for, and thanks for your business.

I had interviewed at least a half-a-dozen companies to do this work. I showed my detailed specifications and wiring diagrams of the existing system and asked them to up-grade the system. Typically, I was offered a completely new package based on a mostly wireless system with motion detectors and glass-break sonic sensors while abandoning the existing perimeter control with wired magnetic monitors on the doors and windows. This equipment was usually FREE contingent on a monitoring contract of typically 3 or 4 years at a healthy monthly fee. Bruce, Aronson, president of Secure Tech came to make an estimate, understood the situation immediately and suggested the system described above. The work was not contingent on a monitoring contract, however a discount was offered for agreeing to a one year monitoring period at a modest monthly fee. Bruce was familiar with the equipment I had installed in 1980 and was able to read the old wiring diagrams and readily adapt the new system to the old wiring format including a distribution of the monitoring system into specific zones. The motion detectors, the control stations, and telephone connection were added without disruption or mess. The job was accomplished in one day with Bruce and two assistants. Since Bruce had discussed the job with me when making the estimates and was also directing the installation, there was no difficulty in assuring that what was promised was actually accomplished. My wife and I are delighted with the system which is exactly what we were looking for. If you are seeking a custom system adapted to your particular requirements where ?off-the-shelf? components with long monitoring contracts will not suffice, Secure Tech is your answer.
Description of Work: Secure Tech replaced an antiquated (1980’s) central monitoring system with a modern GE station using existing wiring for all door/window monitors, adding two new control stations and two new motion detectors. They provided zone monitoring for 14 individual zones again using existing wiring.

Hi Member, I enjoy challenges especially with converting older systems that are well installed as yours was and upgrading the main components to make an even better system. Manufacturers want us to get rid of old and buy new, but thats not always best. I love your train set and yes do look forward one day to have the time for tinkering too. Bruce...

Within seconds of hitting 'send' to send my email requesting an estimate, Bruce called me back. I told him that our condo's budget is extremely limited, so I didn't want to take up his time if his services would be in the thousands of dollars to meet our request of 4 security cameras. Without hesitation, Bruce listened to our situation and needs, and quite generously offered low-cost alternatives. At least one of those alternative would mean he would make no money from us at all. I was very, very impressed with his professionalism, kindness and generosity. If our HOA is in a position to purchase a security system, Bruce will be the first person I call.
Description of Work: I spoke on the phone with Bruce to discuss our needs. As our condo's HOA budget is extremely limited, he very kindly made suggestions for low cost alternatives.

If you are looking to hire the cheapest bidding company to install your security cameras, keep looking (and know that you will get what you pay for). If you want the company that will do it right the first time, call Secure Tech. From the (ridiculously) detailed/itemized estimate, to the care and respect these guys showed my home, to the beautiful, elegant install, Secure Tech is great. No subcontractors, no newbies - these guys knew their stuff and it showed. During the estimate, Bruce analyzed my property and came up with a security solution that would do everything I wanted/needed. He was very informative and happily gave me weblinks to the products he would be using so that I could research them myself (cause I'm the guy that has to do that with everything). Everything down to the line feet of cable was itemized on the estimate. On install day, Bruce and his crew arrived promptly and got right to work. Everyone was knowledgeable, polite, and respectful, answering every question I had. The install was performed beautifully with both function and aesthetics taken into account (I hate seeing wires and sloppy work - none of that to be found here, however). The setup was completed the next morning and Secure tech confirmed that I was happy with the camera angles before sealing them up. They also showed my wife and I how to access the cameras on both our home network as well as remotely via our iPhones. In addition to the manufacturer warranty on the parts, secure tech warranties their labor for a year and will come out to fix any problems that may arise. While I can't see anything going wrong, it's nice to have that peace of mind. If you're putting in security cameras, you're trusting that that footage will be reliable should something bad happen. I could have easily gone with a cheaper contractor, but didn't see the point in cheaping out when it came to the safety and security of my family and our home business. You really do get what you pay for and Secure Tech was worth every penny.

The experience was very good overall. They were prompt, professional, and careful about things like video coverage, much more so than another company we got a quote from. They have high-quality equipment, too. We just haven’t gotten the go-ahead from the owner yet.
Description of Work: They provided a quote for a video security system for an apartment building.

We just completed your system and hope that your thrilled with our installation. I really enjoyed meeting with you and hope we installed your system the way you wanted. Looking forward to returning to configure your DVR (digital video recorder) when your high speed Internet provider completes their portion of work. I think you'll really love the off site viewing from either your home computer or even your smart cell phones. Just this year the DVR manufacturer provides for searching past video events from your cell phone too. I think you'll love it since it will allow you more control of whats going on with your apartment building while your away. God Bless, Bruce Aronson

My overall experience was very good. They are very nice and do a great job.
Description of Work: Bruce has serviced my gate over a number of years. I live in the hills and have problems with rain and outages. He has always responded to my calls and found the time right away to come over and repair. Last year he installed a security camera that has worked perfectly. I strongly recommend his company.

Very professional and responsive. Detailed and clean work overall. Very knowledgeable. Security camera installer did detailed work and clean install, but did not respond to 2 cameras which were not functioning properly until I pressed them to do so. And there were no instructions for me as to how to operate the system. (In their defense, this was a system I purchased from Costco-- not one I bought from them. But they are the pros and it would have been appropriate for them to show me how it works. Again, when I pressed the matter they came out and did so right away.) Reliable, dependable. Not the cheapest, but I have personal service and he's local, and that counts for a lot. I also am having him do my alarm monitoring.
Description of Work: Reworked existing alarm system, repaired sensors, installed security cameras (through a subcontractor), set up alarm monitoring.

Dear Member, I appreciate your taking the time out to respond to Angie's list questions so I and others can determine if were a good fit and how we can improve. Thank you for bringing to my attention as to my workers not going out of their way to show you your camera systems questions you had. Due to our jobs had stacked up and you had needed to get your video system in right away, I used Leo now a licensed contractor who had worked as an employee for me a few years and he had decided to go out on his own. I rarely if ever use subcontractors but since Leo needed work and had worked for me previously, I wanted to help him out. Unfortunately, helping someone out doesn't always go in both directions. You had mentioned your difficulties with Leo before we finished your job in full and I hope I spent the time going over your system to make you feel comfortable in its use and operation. You did spend extra money in making sure you received a quality installed system which to me includes going out of the way to take care of those little extras and I'm sorry it took speaking up. Its been a pleasure to work with you and your wife. Good luck in the new home and I look forward to a long lasting relationship in taking care of your security needs. Sincerely, Bruce Aronson

Hello Member, I apologize for not being in your budget range. As you may know camera surveillance systems can be purchased as package deals online from the Internet and places like Costco and that you can install yourself or find others to install as well. In fact there are many a company that can install for less than us too. We do try to be competitive but we use more expensive product and highly trained technicians. Unfortunately, we just can't always compete with unlicensed and uninsured companies in the video camera world, with little requirements for this field. We insist on installing a first rate system using major manufacturers unless you supply the equipment. We want to continue to be around for you and others but only with quality not quantity. We have been in business since 1981 and even if we couldn't do business right off we hope to provide our services to you in the future. Good luck. Sincerely, Bruce Aronson.

Bruce was very friendly and easy to talk with. It was clear at the beginning of our inital discussion that he is a top-notch security installation professional! He arrived a few minutes ahead of schedule and, after a brief walk-through of the job issues, he immediately went to work in a methodical and organized manner. The job was finished by this one installer in a relatively short period of time - a job that crews consisting of two and three installers were unable to finish in twice the time that Bruce used. He came prepared for the work and did not have to go further than his work vehicle to obtain the necessary tools and parts to successfully complete the job. Reliable, honest, and trustworthy professionals are very difficult to find in the Los Angeles area security industry. Bruce's time is not cheap; however, I am 200% certain that I recevied much more than my money's worth because the job has now been done correctly. Bruce's company is a rare find and one that I intend to share liberally with anyone I know in need of expert security installation and troubleshooting services. I have other security needs at other properties so Bruce will be receiving MUCH more business from me for as long as he wishes to have me as a very happy customer!

Member, I appreciate the time for your kind comments. I hope the purchase of the Digital Watchdog unit went well. Hard drives have climbed in price recently due to the flooding in Thailand where these hard drives are manufactured so you bought the best unit at a great time. I hope I could be of further help in the future. Even if its just a question, I'm a cell phone (818 800-1400) call away. Sincerely, Bruce Aronson
