I can not say enough good things about Don and Bear Security. He came out to our office on time, walked the property, listened to what we were looking for, and offered great advice and a solution. On the installation day, everyone was on time, ensured everything was properly working, and educated us on the system. They went above and beyond to ensure everything was as we expected it to be. Pros all around I would highly recommend Bear Security. read more

Exceptional service by Bear Security! The owner is honest, friendly, reliable, professional and provides a top-tier level of service that I can easily recommend. Bear Security replaced a self managed keypad lock on our commercial buildings suite door, and has high regard in a referred chain of healthcare facilities. read more

I work for a non-profit that needs reliable security systems but has a limited budget. Don Katz and crew at Bear Security have been instrumental in keeping our premises safe. They have installed state-of-the-art cameras and software as well as additional lighting. They provided remote access so that managers can view the property from their phones at any time. Don is always available to help with any issues that come up and he can explain problems and products in a way that non-tech folks understand. Finally, he is able to work with our funding situation. Bear Security has kept our premises secure and our budget intact! read more

Working with Don at Bear Security was a great experience! Don is a total pro, provides excellent customer service, and genuinely cares about his customers. In addition, Bear Security provides the most up-to-date technology and software. Don installed a comprehensive security camera system at our residence with user friendly interactive software that provides our family with protection and peace of mind. I highly recommend Bear Security! read more

They are simply the best at what they do! I was referred to Don from a friend of mine. My wife and I own a jewelry store in Dana Point, and we were having issues with petty theft. Don came in and did a consultation with us, and recommended some security surveillance services. He installed several cameras throughout the store, as well as a large monitor. He also installed several flashing signed to alert incoming patrons. We also ordered door antennas, which he helped to calibrate and install. Total lifesaver. While he was there, he noticed that I was having issues with my laptop. He made a few suggestions to me about my hard drive, and then took the time to come back and fix my laptop. It is running like a fine tuned Ferrari now. Honestly, every time I have a question about anything electronic, I give Don a call. He is always courteous, professional, and understanding. I have referred Bear Security to several people I know, and will continue to do so. They really are the best. Also, his pricing was very competitive. At no point did I feel like I was overpaying for any of the services he provided. I would give 10 stars if I could. read more

I was recommended this company and I am glad I listened and used them. They were outstanding installing an outdoor resort style audio and entertainment system. The installation of the 125 inch projection screen and the outdoor surround sound system looks so amazing and seamless with no visible wires. On top of it all I can control everything from my phone . 100% professionals who I could leave in my house alone and not have to worry about a thing . Thank you so much my family is already enjoying it. read more

We called Bear Security to fix an install by a different security company we used that eventually failed. Don was so knowledgeable and got us up and running with new cameras and all the techy stuff that I don't understand. Highly recommend! read more

When I first spoke with Bear's technician, Don Katz, he calmly and effectively explained the logistics of installing my cameras, etc., including the need for a separate power supply and Co-ax to Cat-5 adaptors. Don and his co-worker arrived on time and installed my pre-purchased equipment (CCTV cameras and DVR), as promised. Although they ran into a couple of technical snags with my equipment's firmware and the smart phone app, Don remained calm, called the manufacturer's tech help line and had the system working, as planned, within a relatively short time. Both men worked efficiently and quietly, and did not make a mess. I would definitely recommend Bear Security Systems. read more

We had Bear Security install outdoor cameras at our home a few months ago. I can't endorse them enough! They did an incredible job explaining the pros and cons with the different camera types, costs, and additional labor expense. We needed electrical run throughout our attic and the job was professional and well organized. Even when we didn't go with his initial proposal he was still professional with his service. We will definitely use Bear Security for any lighting and security camera installation again. Btw...we waited to write this review to see if there were any issues with the equipment or installation. Not one! great job. Thank you. read more

We have a low voltage system installed a few years back. We called Bear Security to see if there are better cameras and newer systems. Don came out the next day and was able to present us with some great upgrade options. He came out as scheduled and completed the installation. He was very patient and explained all the features of the new hardware and software. He was always on time and was great with communicating via text and in person with expectations. He was careful and cleaned up after the job. He even offered to trim our trees that were blocking some of the views from the cameras. Don and Michelle both were professional and great communicators. It is rare to find such good service providers. They were easy to work with. We highly recommend Bear Security and will call on them again read more

We chose Bear Security to install home surveillance cameras after our ex-neighbor recommended the company. Don and Fred did a wonderful job on the installation of the security camera; the high quality 4k system looks amazing and seamless with minimum visible wire. They were professional, courteous and efficient. Don was very patient while explaining all the features of my systems hardware and software. Michelle was so helpful in setting up appointments for the install and answering all my questions before and after the installation (great customer service!). I highly recommend Don and his team for your security needs. read more

*** HIGHLY RECOMMEND *** Where do I even begin? First of all, buying a home surveillance system is extremely stressful. We initially purchased a security system through Costco and it was complicated, poor quality, and broke within the first year. We ended up taking the system back and replacing it with another system; however, that system failed as well. We gave up. After two years, my in-laws bought us another surveillance system from Costco. I turned to Yelp to find an installer. After looking for several days and interviewing multiple installers, I was even more stressed because let's face it ..... customer service and punctuality seems to be non existent these days. I decided to dig a little deeper and thankfully I did. I found Don at Bear Security. I spoke with him on the phone and was extremely impressed. He was very professional and came off extremely knowledgeable. I explained our situation and he respectfully informed me Costco's surveillance systems may not be the best option for for me. Don told me he had a line of cameras to choose from that were comparable to the price of the Costco cameras. Let me clarify that Don was not in any way, shape, or form trying to up-sale me or persuade me with buying a camera system from him. He simply provided me with all the information to make an informative decision. We decided to go with a camera system through Don and used him to install it at our home. Don was punctual, professional, and provided updates throughout the entire installation. All of the cameras were professionally affixed and the wires were ran through the house and were hidden with metal piping. We have severe winds and have been through multiple rainstorms and there was no problems with the cameras at all. We use them EVERY DAY. We have access to view the live feed through our cell phones, iPads, and laptops. The video streaming is completely fluid and this was a huge change from Costco's choppy video stream. When Don was done, he showed my wife and I how to use the system and he answered every question I had. Fast forward to almost two years. Don is still in contact with us and every time I had a problem, I would simply call/text him and he would fix it within minutes. The cameras are AMAZING and I cannot tell you how happy my wife and I are with Don and his company. My wife and I are both law enforcement officers and we are very cautious with who we let into our home or let come around our family. Needless to say, we had no bad feelings or mistrust with Don. He is very personable and does not make you feel like "just another customer". I rarely leave reviews although I should leave more because I depend on Yelp to help make my purchase decisions. I felt it would be unjust to not leave a review and I was not asked to or compensated in anyway to make this review. I am simply doing this because of how blown away I was with this experience. I hope it helps someone make a decision to use Bear Security. Bottom line: great company, great service, great products and an overall great experience. I would give a 100 stars if I could! *** HIGHLY RECOMMEND *** read more

I've had a good experience with this company. Don is always super helpful with everything. My husband had security cameras installed around the house and it's been very nice having to view my house on my phone when I'm away at work or out of town. read more

Being in the electrical industry myself it is easy to identify exceptional work, class, & pride. Don was a true craftsman through the entire installation process. Left the hose clean, showed up early ready to work. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a professional that works with your budget. read more

Don did a fabulous job on the wiring for my mounted 75" TV, putting power and HDMI behind the screen. While others wanted to punch a hole through the exterior wall, run a conduit, and then punch back in (totally crazy), Don made one simple hole to keep it all internal, and then patched it all up nicely when he was done. So good! And well priced too! read more

Don was the first of the 9 pros that contacted me . I had all of the pros come (total of 9) and visit my home for an accurate estimate . After going over pricing information and solutions provided by the pros I would say that Don was the best option. He is professional , knowledgeable and very patient with his work . He does not take shortcuts and makes sure that the work being done is up to the complete satisfaction of his client and also it's safe . The guy charged me exactly what he quoted me even though he ran into a few snags. There may be cheaper options out there but the quality of his work speaks for itself and we are very happy that we hired his company . He has our business for life as he is versatile on all types of electrical installations. Very good referral and we couldn't be happier. . Great job Don!! read more

This guys are always on point anytime I want to make a change or have tech support questions they alway have had my back.

Pretty simple. Great customer service. We chose Bear Security to install all of the low voltage wiring at our construction site because we trusted him. We felt comfortable with Don because he was very thorough in explaining everything, was precise and was just all-around friendly. We are very satisfied. We can't wait until we move to the next once to install security cameras, LED landscape lighting and Smart Home technology. read more

Wonderful service!! Great experience!! Promptly arrived For appointment customer service went above and be on we will definitely be using their services here at Otto instrument avionics read more

We've been with this team for two years and we are very satisfied. The high quality equipment matched with expert knowledgeable installation make have our family feel very secure. I've had to call for support a couple of times and Don has been patient and helpful, the last time stopping by to fix a camera and honoring the warranty. read more

Bear Security does fantastic work! Don did a great job of describing the benefits of the different types of security systems. The work he did was super clean. For one camera, where a small bit of conduit had to be used, he went to the store to get the exact paint to match the exterior of our house so that it would look good. He really goes the extra mile. The security system is first-rate! The cameras are clear and have impressive night vision. We've had the security system at our house for about a year, and it's been very reliable. The one time I had an issue, Don came the same day I called, figured out the issue, and solved it. In fact, that's why I'm writing this review right now. I rarely write reviews, but I had to give a shout out to a company that stands by their work and is so dedicated to their customers that they'll come out a year after the work is done. Bear Security takes amazing care of its customers! Highly recommend! read more

First rate. #1. I own a High End audio company called Upscale Audio in La Verne. I had contracted with another company to install cameras in our 10,000 square foot store, and it was a DISASTER that will leave me in small claims court. Go read my review if you want to see how bad getting security cameras can be if you deal with the wrong company. There are times in my life where I become very impressed by other businesses, and this is one of them. Working with Don at Bear Security was like being transported to another planet. It's almost hard to describe just how perfect everything was done. The other company failed to show up for appointments, did sloppy work, tried to upcharge me for things in our contract, and tried to sneak in cheap substandard cameras when I paid for good ones. Bear was perfectly on time, the work was super neat and clean, the prices were great, and most important were the people. He also found vulnerabilities that the previous company had missed, pointed them out, and corrected them. Don is ex-military. Maybe that's why things ran so tight. His installer helping him was neat as a pin whereas the other company looked like they were on work release if you know what I mean. I'm expanding our business and just bought a new home, and I promise you he'll be the guy. Not just for security as they do all low voltage projects like home theater and home automation. I would have complete confidence sending them my most particular customers. read more

Don is the best! Not only does he do quality work but is very accessible and available to help if you have any questions down the line! I highly recommend! read more

We needed a home surveillance system and Bear Security was recommended by a friend. Don explained the different systems available and we selected the best one for our needs. The install went great and the system is incredible! Outstanding customer service. We will definitely use their services again. We couldn't be happier with the peace of mind their help provided. Thank you. read more

I have been a long time consultant to business and know the havoc of short term goals and bad quality. Bear is owner operated. Don is a great guy, great crew, exceptional in knowledge, excellent quality, and I would recommend without hesitation. read more

Great experience! Bear Security was able to get the work done quickly. Friendly, helpful service. Recommend!

This was my second time around with camera installation for my house and I was very impressed with this company's service. I have to admit I'm technologically challenged and had a lot of questions. The owner, Don , provided first class service and was only a text or phone call away whenever I needed help. Our new cameras have great resolution and do not go off line like my old one. In addition, he also fixed a botched service done by another company without charging me. I would highly recommend this company. read more

I decided to put in a security system as my wife has to park outside every time she spends the night. Although there had not been any problems with regard to any incidents of house or car break-ins in the area I wanted to be proactive. I first consulted both Yelp and Angie's List to see if any security company stood out. I was more focused on staying away from the big name companies and looking for one the was capable of more personalized service. Two stood out and I interviewed both of them and received price quotes. They were both very competent but Bear Security stood out and is the company I ultimately chose. The reasons are as follows Don Katz knows his product inside and out, offers choices and show the downsides and upsides of each. He is there to give you the product that fits both your needs and financial situation. He has a superior knowledge of the entire electronics world and was able to assist me in realizing all the benefits of my Smart TV which was certainly smarter than me. When Don was fine tuning the security screen display of pictures you could tell he had a total knowledge of the programming aspect on how to show the pictures and various options. Don did not consider the job complete until you were completely satisfied. I have already told friends that I think might be interested in a security system that Bear Security is the way to go. If you want total satisfaction call Bear Security Steven I read more

We could not be happier with Bear Security. They are professional, courteous and very patient with the non-technical person. The cameras are clean and crisp. They have been here to answer any questions. Response time to any emails or text messages We have had has been amazing. We would recommend this company to everyone. read more
