    Thank you John and Brad from AV Consultations!
    Mark K.

    UPDATE: I did not mention that AV Consultations installed our system with a surge protector. It's a good thing that they did, because we had a lightning strike close enough to destroy a different TV and cable box. The AV Consultations installed surge protector is now blown but it saved the TV, cable box and Sonos Sound Bar. When you call Tom McKay, remember to ask for the surge protector.

    I asked Tom to look at the equipment I had, I told him what I wanted and asked him to give me a quote.

Eric's quote was reasonable, well thought out and easy to understand. Of the 4 bids I requested, Wire Genie came in the middle in price but Eric was heads and above in his consideration and scoping of the task whereas many other installers seemed to be guestimating effort. Eric had a number of helpful suggestions both from camera positioning to running lines for future use and he did a phenomenal job on running a POE Doorbell camera behind brickwork and only needing one access cut that, at his suggestion, we put a 2-outlet blank faceplate over for future access/maintenance if needed. All cables were carefully labeled and terminated into my server rack patch panel. Awesome work!

Eric is now that guy for me with networking. My home has never had good internet. It was built before internet was much of a thing, it's stone, has radiant barrier, outdated connections, nonstandard shape, etc. I prepped Eric for these challenges among others and told him I had very high standards. He was undeterred and we set up a consultation. Eric had to have really impressed me, as I let him drill through stone which is highly uncharacteristic of me. I now have rock solid WiFi both inside and outside my house ~600Mbps for an extended distance and constant speeds over Ethernet even faster than that. I highly recommend Eric to bring an old home up to modern technological standards.

    We had a great experience with Securimax and are very happy we chose them. After a few incidents…read morenear our home, we decided it was time to invest in a full security system with cameras. We spoke with several companies, both big national providers and smaller local ones, and ultimately went with Securimax. What stood out was their local presence and the hands-on approach, especially from Jack, the CEO. The installation itself was fairly involved and took most of the day, but everything was handled smoothly and professionally. Since then, their service has continued to impress. They're very responsive whenever we have questions and have been flexible in helping us adjust or expand the system as our needs evolve. Overall, it's been a really positive experience.

    Absolutely the worst company I've ever dealt with!…read more I hired this security company thinking I was protecting my home, but instead I got stress, wasted money, and zero accountability. The installer showed up late, seemed completely unprepared, and didn't even know how the system was supposed to work. Sensors were crooked and one camera works only sometimes. When I asked about it, I was told "that's how I was told to do it" and "most people think it's ok". The system went offline multiple times, including once while we were out of town. What's the point of paying for the services if it doesn't work when you need it most? Customer service is a joke. Calls go unanswered and when someone finally responds, they act like you are the problem. Every issue was blamed on my internet, my phone, or "user error," even though the system wasn't working rights from day one. How is it my fault when the app says that a camera is offline? What am I supposed to do but contact them. I pay them monthly for the service, so if something says it is not working then I think it's reasonable to say I can call them. What is not reasonable is for there to be no customer service when the system is malfunctioning. To make matters worse, I was locked into a contract and threatened with cancellation fees instead of offered real support or a fix. If you care about your safety, your money, or your sanity, stay far away from this company. I regret ever signing up. I thought I was doing good by going with a small company, but I should have called ADT, Vivint, or someone bigger.

I had some…read morebasic ideas, but equipment had evolved so much since I set up my own home theater; I wanted to work with an expert. In addition, I wasn't even sure if my living room could provide the quality of sound I wanted. After extensive googling and yelping, I came across AV Connect, who had a decent web site and good reviews. Nate Cake took my call, and discussed with me options and pricing. I don't remember the timeline, but I believe he came out the next week for the design consultation, and went over all my options. In a couple more days I had my quote. I think we completed installation 2 weeks later. The installation crew were courteous and professional. The home theater is awesome! Then 1.5 years later, the AVR blew (under manufacturer warranty). I called AV Connect back up, and they picked it up and got it repaired for me! I didn't have to deal with the manufacturer or a repair shop or anything! I will definitely use them again if I move, or when I'm ready for the next upgrade!

Since then I've added new components, changed out old equipment, and even though I have a very modest home and audiovisual set-up, A V Connect has been there for me in a timely, professional, friendly, and consistently reliable way .I've never in the nine years that I've been their customer had to worry that they had 'moved on' or that they would relegate my issues to the back burner. Recently my Control4 unit began failing. A V Connect sent Greg out to my home the same day I reached out to them. He evaluated the problem, ordered the new control unit and on it's arrival, installed it and had my system back up and running all within a week. Time after time, A V Connect has been there for me from the day they installed the system in my new home, to now, nine year's later. That's what it means to be reliable!

    Really great experience (from start to finish) working with this family-owned company! When I say…read morefamily-owned, I mean that Mary, her husband, and their son will come to your house to install your new system. That level of family-owned. First and foremost, Mary has fantastic communication. When I initially sent my quote request, she responded quickly and thoroughly. Throughout the process, I had multiple questions (new to this), and she took the time to carefully reply to each question via email. This level of responsiveness is super important to me especially when it's a field I'm not knowledgeable in. There are a lot of moving parts when alarming a house and it was important that I understood exactly what we were getting. Her team did a great job installing our new security system. Everyone was very nice and professional. They took the time to explain everything and asked our input (regarding placement, etc.) whenever necessary. Mary carefully went through everything in the app to get me set up and familiar with the interface. They were also very respectful of our home -- offering to either remove shoes or put on their own shoe covers (we're a shoe-free household with small children so this is important to us). I also really appreciated how customizable everything was. There are so many different options that are offered with the security system (including a lot of automation like locking doors and controlling lights, etc. that we weren't actually interested in). If you're a newbie like me, I'll break down the basic security options. It helps to have some understanding of what's available before you get started. I was a little overwhelmed but Mary was helpful in answering my questions. Anyway, you've got a keypad that controls your alarm system (arm/disarm). You can do that via app (even if not home) or key fob. Then you've got your various sensors. Obviously, the door open sensors are a must. They'll trigger the alarm if someone opens the door (when armed) and is unable to enter the proper disarm code. Then you've got the option of installing window open sensors. There are also glass break sensors (generally, one per small room or two for large rooms) that will notify you if a glass break is detected (or if house is armed, set off the alarm). Finally, you've got motion sensors (these are automatically turned off when you arm your system in stay mode versus away). Assuming you'll wire the doors, you need to decide if you want glass breaks and if so, whether they will cover full home or just most vulnerable areas; if you want window sensors and if so, on all or some windows (might depend on your window type and vulnerability to window being manually opened and whether glass breaks might be sufficient); and whether you want motion sensors and which areas you want them to cover. I'd recommend doing some preliminary research/planning on how these tools might fit your home and what coverage is necessary versus overkill. It depends on your layout, etc. Next, you've got cameras. They offer WiFi-based cameras (operated through alarm.com) and standard wired cameras. Video doorbells too. We replaced our Ring with their doorbell cam to centralize our camera controls. You can have everything controlled through the alarm.com app for convenience. The app is great -- very user-friendly. Anyway, there are a lot of other options available as well that I didn't even delve into. Thought I'd share the basics to get you started. Don't hesitate to use this company! They offer free in-person consultations and fantastic service -- professional, friendly, knowledgeable, and responsive. Oh and their rates seem reasonable and competitive. Very pleased with this experience as well as our new alarm system! BIG THANK YOU!

They were professional, knowledgeable and polite. They even swept up and vacuumed before they left. Mary and Jimmy have been patient with any and all the questions I had. I was so impressed I had them install a system in my shore house and AirBNB. They recommended things I had never thought of that made being an absentee owner so easy. The cameras are exceptional and even caught a thief. Being a former LEO and in Security, I am impressed with their top of the line equipment and the monitoring company is fast! I highly recommend this company.
