ABF has been wonderful to work with especially Angie Cassidy. She by far has exceeded my expectations. I would recommend ABF Security to anyone looking for superior care & service. There are so many products they offer from cameras & security to anything to do with low voltage. Family members of mine have used ABF Security for over 20 years & there is no other company out there that can compare to the top notch service you get from them, especially Angie.

I would recommend ABF to anyone and everyone! They are a very conscious, friendly company, one who regards their customers as family. Those words are used loosely many times but it is the case with this company. They are a family driven company and it definitely carries through with their employees and their highly valued customers.

I've had nothing but a good experience with ABF for multiple businesses. My favorite aspect is the ease of access app to track openings/closings and other alerts. Costs are in line with the competition and my rep Chad, has always gotten me taken care of. Would definitely recommend to others.

We have an alarm for the house for a long time but recently got an "alert button" at my parents' home. They have called when the battery shows low and have immediately sent paramedics when it was set off (which is how we had it set up to be). Was very easy to change it to have them call me first as my father has accidentally set it off several times. Very pleasant to work with.
