He has always been completely professional, reliable and reasonably priced. I highly recommend both Robert and his team.

They installed some outdoor cameras, but there were many issues. They had to ask for ladders to use to complete the work. There were cameras already there before, so there wasn't a lot of work that needed to be done. I had them install some cameras and then one of them stopped working, when I called to ask them to come and fix it, I have had to leave multiple messages and there is still no call back. Also, they make it quite clear that they will only come out weather permitted, they never made any attempt to come out and see if there was a fix that could be made internally. Their fees are high, they are not reasonable.
Description of Work: They came to install outside cameras.

He put alarms throughout both apartments. His prices were a little high and the monitoring is high. The reason I chose him was because he was the only one that would put in an alarm for natural gas. The alarm system included natural gas, as well as fire, smoke, breaking glass and things like that. I had no complaints. Other companies were a lot cheaper but they didn't include the natural gas alarm. He is hard to get hold of if I have a complaint but eventually I am able to get him. I have to go through his answering service. He doesn't always seem to be as responsive.
Description of Work: I used On The Safe Side to put alarms throughout my house and in my mother/daughter house.

Robert (company president) and the "two Mikes" (installers) were excellent to work with from start to finish. Their bid was competitive, the quality of their work excellent, and all communications were straightforward, honest, considerate, and prompt. They had to work around our school schedule, clearing out during dismissal time, waiting to get into classrooms until the students had left, etc. They did all with good grace. The system works great, was put in neatly, and we could not be more pleased.
Description of Work: Installed an audio/video entry buzzer system at entryway to our preschool, and linked intercoms in 2 classrooms and an office.
