When I needed service because of the drop in 3G coverage, a technician was able to come out the same day and had service restored in 20 minutes. They are super responsive and professional. Service: Installation

Hello there! This is Raquel Thompson and I just wanted to show love to Alarm Alert! Kevin and James are the best! Kevin explained thoroughly the process of installation for both the security measures and cameras along with the fees involved. James was very knowledgeable about installing our security system, setting up the phone apps and providing a sense of warmth to the business venture. They are very family oriented! My questions were answered respectfully and with great value each time I contacted them. I was very pleased with the entire process and expect to continue doing business with them moving forward!

I have been an alarm alert for over seven years. The insulation was efficient, they were on time, and always available to answer any questions. I recently had cameras installed. The owner Kevin came out and looked at the home And estimated how many cameras were needed. Cameras efficiently installed, great quality. Excellent service. I Highly recommend the alarm alert on will continue to use them for all my security needs.
