Not sure about pricing, as we were so impressed with Isaac that we just chose them. And now that project is done, I can tell you that we did the right thing when we went with Essential Security. What they did is 5 stars +++. We looked for one contractor to take over the security system at our facility. Doors with access control, panic Bars, CCTV, and locks. We wanted to leave nothing from the older system. Everything new with one company that know everything about the system. So we got in touch with Essential, and I will let the photos talk and show what they did. I Last will thank Isaac, Jose and the office team for all they did for us. Thank you. read more

I have to say that Essential Security Systems has the most amazing people working for them. I started my monitored alarm service by the end of 2022 and have nothing but GREAT things to say about them. Isaac has taken care of every single problem I've had within a day! Definitely knows what he is doing and does everything possible to resolve the problem in one visit. Isaac is also super nice, and that's a plus! I am really impressed with every aspect of their service. I even referred my sister (Referrals are the best form of flattery for a business, right?!). Another plus is that they are VERY inexpensive compared to other security specialists in Brooklyn. Definitely recommend! P.s. Essential Security Systems will work with your preinstalled alarm system! That was definitely convenient for me and saved us ton of money!! read more

Got the intercom I wanted, and really a lot more. The first thing I noticed when I met with Isaac was that he do not try to make something bigger than what it is. Unlike other intercom installers I met with, Isaac explained that the project is average one and that Essential did many like it. He was super series, he gave me a detailed estimate the same day, and he presented license and insurance. The first time I tried the new unit it worked. No need for more work. Like pros. Thank you. For you who look for intercom installation, I am adding photos so you can see what they did for us. Go Essential! read more

New Project was about to end and all we needed was to install security cameras and intercom system. Now I have worked with Essentail on other projects before (Access Control installation & Security Cameras), but this was the first time they installed interocm system for us. And just like before, they did amazing job. Prices were more than fair, and they did everything in 2 days. I am more than happy to recommend Essential. read more

What a difference!! We nearly made the mistake of installing our own security cameras we purchased on Amazon. We're so happy we called Essential instead. Harry arrived with all his knowledge and was friendly, resourceful, and professional. Such a pro!! He even had creative ideas to hide the wires and improved our initial plan amazingly. He was efficient and worked hard to make sure the job was done well. We are super happy we got the cameras from Essential, as they are really high-tech and offer feature the other cameras didn't (We already sent them back to Amazon and saved money). Get them to do the work for you, and the work will be done right. read more

I like to work with professionals. I have a list of contractors for different projects. And under "Security Systems" contorts list I have only one name: Essential. I started working with them in 2010 and since then I only work with them since they really do everything I am writing this review for Yelpers looking for a security company in New York that is professional and licensed. read more

The main reason I have hired Essential is that I got their name from ¾ people I asked for a recommended security company in New York. Essential Security Systems has been nothing short of excellent. Isaac, my main point of contact and the most knowledgeable person about security systems, was very professional; he provided lots of information about alarm systems in general (as I was deciding between several companies) and was great not only at setting up my alarm system and patiently teaching me about it, but incidentally helping me come to a decision on which security cameras to install (I was amazed by today's technology). Additionally, Isaac provided his personal cell phone number in case there are ever any issues with the alarm system in the future (luckily, I have had no issues to date). It's rare that you find this level of customer service these days, as I've had a couple of not-so-great experiences with contractors in Williamsburg since newly owning a home. P.S They also do locks replacement in case you were wondering read more

Isaac from Essential Security Systems was very quick to call back to discuss the security cameras installation project inquiry. He provided a flat rate quote which was awesome since I didn't have to take time out of work to schedule for an electrician to come out, give an estimate, and then charge for just coming out. Also, Isaac was very kind to make an exception to schedule the work on a weekend on last minute notice. 99 came with one more expert right on the dot, and they were great. We went through everything; they listened to our concerns and preferences, explained different options available, and found the best spots for our cameras. After completing the installations, they swept up any wall debris, put the boxes together, and stayed until the cameras were up and running to help position them in the right directions. I highly recommend Essential for security camera installations. They definitely know what they're doing, professional, know the needs in Flushing area, and go above and beyond. Thank you, Isaac & Thank you Essential! read more

Searched on different reviews sites including Yelp yesterday for the best local home security company operating in Williamsburg & Essential name came up with 5 star average rating. I decided to leave the name & phone number with office and wait for a call back from one of their experts. Ernest called back within 5 minutes, I was very impressed since I was extremely dissatisfied with the old company we had for the past 4 years (for over 2 weeks I've been trying to get someone to come fixed faulty camera and no one called back). Ernest came by around 4 PM, walked us through the system he had to offer, signed up with him right away & the new system was up & running the next day, talking about service!! And while we waited for the technician installation team to come over, Ernest texted me to let me know the entire time of what was going on. I really appreciated the personal service I received. Now talking about the system itself: Above and beyond what I was expecting. I got 2 cameras installed that can read vehicles license plates & a camera that make even the darkest nights in Williamsburg look like a bright sunny day. I'm extremely satisfied with the value & service received from Essential Security Systems & Ernest, Essential is the only company I will recommend in NYC. read more

Executive Summary: Superior response time, solid installation, excellent customer service by Isaac from Essential. We bought a new home with a intercom system already installed. I was not interested in putting in a different system as some other companies in Brooklyn I talked to had suggested. I spoke with Isaac who gave me advice about my system over the phone, and we scheduled a visit for the following week. He arrived on schedule, looked over my system and was able to make it work again with minimal parts and labor. Isaac also taught me how to adjust the settings so the intercom will work the way I need it to work. He fully explained to me how to use the system, how to add users, and what to do if there is a problem. He also gave me all the documentation for my insurance discount and showed me how to have the system registered with the city. I am super impressed with Essential Security Systems and may have them do the work on my rental property as well. read more
