Bob's offers security services like many other companies. Their installation crew was fine. The parts are first rate, name brand. The monitoring seems to be working, although one time they told me to test the system and the (separate) monitoring company sent the fire department. Good thing tho, the monitoring company had the wrong street address, causing the FD arrival to be delayed. I imagine that can happen with any alarm company and I do not know how to check to be sure it does not happen. The only negative is that they charged $600 to install the alarm system and I found out later that at least some other companies do the initial installation for free, making their money on the monthly fee. (I do not know if those other companies use cheaper parts.) Bob's monthly fee is $25, which is competitive. It would have cost me more for the installation but they gave me a discount for a multi-year contract.
Description of Work: Installed an alarm system in my home and provides monitoring for a monthly fee.

My house is small, so it only needed a small alarm system. The price for a larger house will be higher. Pros: The company is easy to work with. The installation crew really knew what it was doing. They installed Honeywell sensors, a name brand. They charged $100 LESS than their estimate, because they used the siren that was already in the house. The installation looks good. Cons: I saw one installer take off and drop a cover from an electrical outlet that they later used to power the control panel. The cover fell behind my washing machine. After the installation crew left I noticed the electrical outlet had no cover! Their control panel was plugged into it with no cover. I had to fish behind the washing machine and then screw in the cover myself. It is a small thing, so I still gave them an A, but it was not professional work. The monthly fee was the same for the few companies I talked with.

Bob's Security has a very prompt response time. When the alarm was set off accidentally we had an almost immediate call from the police. Later, Bob's Security called to make sure everything was all right. We're very satisfied with their service. We pay them quarterly.
Description of Work: I had them upgrade our alarm system with better motion sensors. They do monitor our alarm system.

I have been using Bob's for my alarm service monitoring for quite some time now. I think they are great. They have never ever let me down and I have had no problems with them ever. I would highly recommend them and I will also tell others they charge very reasonable rates for the great service they provide.
Description of Work: Bob's provides monthly alarm monitoring for my home's alarm system. I pay them monthly. I can't precisely say what I pay without consulting my records so I would rather not comment other than to say it is very fair.
