I have used L&R security for several residential properties over the last 15 years or so and I’ve never been disappointed! I recently bought a restaurant and had L&R install a full state of the art security system with 8 HD cameras and it has been a blessing in so many ways! Ray and his team have always been there for system support when we had questions or needed support and the quality of their work has always been on point. Charity starts at home so I’m more than happy to give local family owned companies my business, especially during these trying times.

Ray and his team are true professionals - we recently had our second home alarm system installed by L&R and highly recommend their services. Pricing is very competitive (both up front for install materials and ongoing subscription fees), install was done efficiently with minimal disruption in our home, and ultimately the monitoring service and response time has been nothing short of spectacular. Ray is also prompt on any questions or concerns we’ve had regarding our service. Highly recommend!!!

Very professional and courteous. The owner, Ray was eager to listen and address my concerns. I couldn't be happier with the camera system and alarm they installed. I was able to identify a suspect in an attempted robbery and provide the vehicle's tag to the authorities.

We contracted with L&R Security over 30 years ago to secure our former home. Our system and the service we received along with it were so superb that we hired them again 2 1/2 years ago when we moved to a new home. Ray and his competent staff installed a wonderful system for us. Having done business with them for 33 years now, we can’t say enough good things about them. We appreciate their honesty, integrity, knowledge, fair pricing, and attentiveness to any problems or concerns we had. We highly recommend L&R Security.

I researched several companies to get quotes to install security cameras. After contacting a few local companies, and searching on Angie's List, I decided to L&R a try since they provided good quality cameras at a reasonable price. It took two visits since one of the units they ordered didn't arrive as expected. Ray and his sons came out to get everything installed and programmed, and gave a quick tutorial on using the phone app to monitor the system. Although we found one camera that stopped working, they quickly responded with a replacement unit to resolve the problem.

It was fine. The man was very responsive and came out quickly. I found them on Angie's List. I have not made any decisions yet. I chose them to do the estimate based on their reviews on Angie's List.

Great service. Quick and responsive. Ray, the owner, reviewed our existing system and instead of reinstalling a completely new system, he made some adjustments to our existing system, which saved a lot of money.

L&R came in quickly to setup a brand new system. They spent most of the day here but we quiet and cleaned up when they were finished. I am very happy with everything they installed!
Description of Work: Ray Sr. came to my house to take a look and hear my concerns. He spent about 30 minutes with me not only talking about the products and services that L&R offer but also just shooting the breeze. It's really nice when you aren't rushed or feel like you're asking too many questions. After the consultation, Ray had scheduled an appointment to install a new system that fit my concerns about security.

We we found their name on Angie's List along with a few other alarm companies they had the most reasonable price. Ray Junior came out to our house and after going over our needs suggested an alarm system that we are now very happy with. The system is customizable to our needs. It allows us different zones to be turned off and on as necessary. They were very professional and I would recommend them.

Ray is absolutely fabulous. He is super responsive, very thorough, very professional and a delightful human being. He was very good at staying within our budget, no surprises between his estimate and payment time. He was detailed, hardworking and punctual. The system is working great, no glitches. He follows up and is over the top concerned about customer service and satisfaction. I got his name from Angie's List and he didn't disappoint. I HIGHLY recommend him.

Response from L & R SECURITY SYSTEMS
[removed member name], I'm sorry you feel this way and I apologize for any inconvenience, but the fact is we never did any work for you. The one system I looked at for you in North Philadelphia was unplugged so I plugged it in. I did not charge you for that. At your location in West Philadelphia I suggested you contact the company that originally installed your surveillance system because there are codes and passwords that prevent access to your system. I thought it would be less expensive for you to fix the existing system than to replace it. Sorry. Please understand that we at L&R Security Systems take great pride in providing our customers with the best service we can offer. -Ray, L&R Security

Really well; the company was able to wire everything as originally planned. The installation was completed in 2 days; we tested the system for 3 days, and we have had no trouble with it at all. The installation involved very little mess or inconvenience and we are delighted with the results. We would recommend L & R to anyone looking for a sophisticated security system that operates in an astonishingly simple way.
Description of Work: Installed a security and fire alarm system in our home with monitoring for gas and CO2, etc. The president of the company, Ray Resnick, did the actual installation and explained everything we needed to know about how the system works and how to get the most out of it. He is a complete professional who takes great pride in the operational details of his security systems. In our case--8an older home with only a partial basement--might have made the installation difficult; Ray planned it out to the smallest detail so that everything worked from the start.

Our review of L&R is tied to the equipment it sold to us, so first a word about the system. We contacted L&R after several cars in our neighborhood were broken into. We wanted to cover the driveway with a security camera, particularly at night. L&R recommended either a High Resolution or the more expensive High Definition system. Because of the better resolution, we chose the 4-camera Hi-Def product so we could cover the driveway as well as entire exterior of the house. While the cameras are great during the day, at night there is a serious problem. The nighttime image from the camera on the driveway has a large donut in the middle of the picture. This severely interferes with the ability to recognize anyone in our driveway at night. We have since learned that this is called the ?halo effect? and is a well known problem with infrared security cameras. It is not manufacturer specific. It?s a problem caused by the bounce back from the infrared light the cameras use at night. When I contacted the supplier?s technical support line, they said that they receive this complaint hundreds of times on all varieties of cameras. Its either caused by a defect in the camera or its placement. We?ve tried several cameras at that location so its not the camera. There are no lights on outside and it does not matter whether the moon is full or even if there is a car in the driveway at all. My first criticism of L&R is that they should have known that this is a common problem. They were well aware of why we bought the camera and should have tested a few locations to see whether this was going to be a problem before drilling holes in the exterior of my house. My second criticism of L&R is that I gave them an opportunity to move the camera. Yet, despite agreeing that they would come out and experiment with a few new locations before drilling even more holes in my house, they changed their mind at the last minute. Instead, they simply re-aimed the camera a few feet up the driveway. When I asked why they did not do what we had agreed, they said that they ?really did not want to move the camera.? Having rearranged my and my wife?s schedules twice to accommodate L&R, their decision to come to my home and pointlessly re-aim the camera is unacceptable. L&R is good at running wires and returning emails. But in the end, the $1800 security system they sold to us does not work for the reasons we bought it.

We first used L&R Security to install an alarm system in our first house in 1986. When we moved in 1991, we had L&R install an alarm system in our new house. We have always used L&R Security to monitor our alarm system. Throughout the years we've done renovations on the house that required re-installation of some wiring. L&R has always been prompt, professional and reasonably priced. I would highly recommend this company. Ray Resnick provides personal and professional service. It's been a pleasure dealing with a company that gives such high quality service.
Description of Work: Last contact was to pay for service. I can't remember the last time we needed L&R Security to come out to the house since our system works so well. Any time there's been a question or problem, we've gotten a prompt and professional reply from Mr. Resnick. Over the years Mr. Resnick has replaced batteries, installed a new key pad, re-wired after renovations. He's always available by phone to answer questions about the system.
