They were contracted with the home builders so we didn’t really have choice. We still use them for our alarm system and I believe we own the equipment. They've been ok.
Description of Work: We bought a new house and they were the only company that could install the home alarm system and prewire the house for entertainment speakers.

They are an excellent company. I’ve never had an issue with them. We have been with them for 10 years. We own the equipment for the alarm. You can’t beat the value for the dollar. Their customer service is outstanding and they always come out when you call.

The system works! We had to choose this company because of the home builder but we have been using the system for about one year and we own the equipment. There was a miscommunication with some cords they left. They were not labeled and we are not sure what to do with them.

We have used them for a little over a year now. They are responsive! We have had power failures and they reach out to us informing us of that. They have a better system in place than our last provider because the panel trigger is more accurate. It's harder to bypass the panel.
Description of Work: We have our security system with them. We last saw them in April to install cameras.

We’ve been very satisfied with the service. They gave us a narrow window and came within the window. Communication was fine and we haven't had any problems with the new equipment.

Not one thing has been right since they installed it and half a dozen people have been out. Not one has been able to make it work. They indicated they believed it was fixed each time and it still didn’t work. I have asked them to come out and remove the cameras and to keep the basic service.
Description of Work: They installed a complete camera system.

I’ve had a lot of problems with the sound system. The remote isn’t working. They’ve been out a few times to look at the system. It took about five days for them to come and look at the system. Both technicians who have come out have programmed the remote differently. The trips have been covered under warranty. They’ve been fairly punctual. I feel the system I went with is more complicated than it should be.
Description of Work: They installed a sound system in addition to the security system. They installed the sound system and the security system as the house was being built.

Their costs are reasonable, about $35/month for the wireless. They have been good as far as service. When we signed the last contract, they changed something in the fine print though that I didn't realize. The contract was for 5 years instead of 3 years.

They are good. They are very thorough. We are able to remotely disarm and alarm our home if we forget when leaving. If any window or door is touch, we're notified via email. We also have a dog so you can set it to alarm-stay or alarm-away.

They are fine! Back when I lived in an apartment, they had quick response times. Anytime we accidentally set off the alarm, they called us instantaneously to see if everything was alright. I feel the pricing is fair and I did my research. The prices vary depending on how much service you want. One time were overcharged through the automatic payment because it only paid a certain amount so we ended up getting a collections notice. That has all has been taken care and it hasn't happened again since.
Description of Work: I've had service with them for 1 year as a homeowner, but they provided security at a previous apartment for 2 years.
