"They have done a pretty good job responding to our concerns. We bought an extended warranty on the system. They came and installed a new battery for it recently. We didn?t pay anything for the battery and we paid about $50 for the service call which seemed okay."

"We had a whole house alarm system installed. The house was pre-wired for an alarm system, so the actual install was very smooth. The sales process was interesting. After reviewing what I wanted, the negotiation began. We manged to reach an agreement and they threw in fire detectors (over and above our house detectors) with monitoring and dropped the monthly monitoring fee a bit. don't be afraid to negotiate on price. The installation process was very smooth. My tech was knowledgeable and professional. After about two years of service the alarm system developed a "signal" fault - meaning the cell signal received by the controller was not strong enough. After trying to trouble shoot over the phone a tech was sent out. He tried to resolve the issue, but determined that the receiver needed to be replaced. Unfortunately the receiver I had was not being made anymore and an "upgrade" was required. After a quick call to the sales supervisor I was able to work a deal by paying for the upgraded unit, but they would pay the labor and the truck roll."

San Jose Home Security Companies Reviews

"I thought they did a good job. The system does work well. They also consulted with me, before they installed the system, to let me know where they would be drilling into my home. I would use them again for this service. The installation guy was very nice."

"We highly recommend them. They are prompt, respond to our questions and they have good, quality equipment. They also stand behind their work. I have used them in the last four houses that I have purchased for rentals and have had successful experiences every time then too."

"We chose a monthly monitoring program which was very inexpensive. We feel safe knowing we have their service watching over us all the time. I found the company to be very customer oriented and they did a good job with the installation."

"Although there was some initial confusion over what kind of system was being installed,

responded well and was flexible with our schedules. They arrived promptly and finished the work on time without any "surprise" additions to the quote. Their representatives spent time with us explaining the system and how it worked, and displayed great patience and politeness. We have had the system installed for more than eight months now and their ongoing service is also excellent; responsive, polite and professional."

"Very Professional installation with minimum family disruption. Continuous Monitoring and notification as needed. Very helpful when needed, and courteous."

"We refused to give all this info, so they required that we pay for the full 3 years of monitoring as well as for the alarm system up front. We signed up and then cancelled the contract within the 3 days allotted by the State of California, because they used questionable tactics and did not state up front what the conditions of the contract were, and we felt that the conditions were unacceptable. If you use

, you should try to get them to confirm the install date they give you, because they changed ours after the contract was written. While we had some issues with getting ADT's system installed, nothing is required up front for the monthly monitoring service. No personal information was requested. Their contract is for 2 years and has a cancellation provision. You have 6 months to cancel without a charge. They are nationwide, so if you leave the area, you should still be able to get the monitoring service. We chose ADT, and the alarm system works great. See ADT for details."

"Excellent sales rep

. Problem with installation. Installer arrived at 12:30 p.m. r/t 8:00 a.m. Took 7-1/2 hrs. to install. System did not work. Called 800 number. Very poor customer service. Set us up with appt. for ''service'' for next day noon-5p.m. They did not show up. Turned out they cancelled it and gave it back to installers but did not notify us. Installer came the following day but did not fix system. Finally got sr. installer, Art, and he fixed the system. Even satellite phone back-up system was not working before. Only 2-yr. contract required, can cancel within 6 mos. (See Bay Alarm for their contracts). Once installed correctly, seems to be working very well. Ask for Sr. Installer and ask your Sales Rep to be there on the day of a scheduled install. Have all systems checked and double-checked to be sure they're working properly after installation."

"This company did very good. When all the work was finished, it looked very professional. I am satisfied. They did an excellent job. They installed numerous key pads, plus they were reasonably priced. I was very satisfied with my overall experience with this company. They did an excellent job and I would use again."
