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.

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.

I’m having trouble with my bracelet. I’ve gone through two of them so I just don’t wear it. I had to try and get it undone to get it off my wrist and I accidently took the cover to the alarm off. My wife wears the bracelet too. They are responsive to the alarm system. We once opened the front door and forgot to turn the alarm off and they contacted us right away. Their pricing is about normal and they are very efficient.
Description of Work: I use this company for alarm system for health bracelets and home security.

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.
Description of Work: I have had service with them for at least a year and in different two houses.

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.

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.

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.
