I make sure to read all the Yelp reviews and get recommendations from friends I trust before I even choose a business. I read how James would show up at the house when an alarm was tripped and that he always carries. I said THAT is the man I want- someone who stands behind his business and brave! Also one of my close friends who I trust her opinion highly had recommended James as a business and personally knows him and gave high praises for his integrity and as a person! So I was feeling good about my choice and he followed through! I like that he was willing to help anytime you need him to just call him! I believe in layers of security for my house. He thinks a lot like I do and he will best tell you what is best for your particular house and situation which is great. Took a lot of work, but I feel better that it is done. I like the night vision with the alarms and the very clear pictures. I had other cameras before which can be grainy or blurry but these pictures are very clear. I like the panoramic views too which cover a lot. Better to have someone local as your alarm company as well and have a relationship with the local police. Very professional and one of the good guys! He goes above and beyond which is my criteria in giving 5 stars to the best! I liked how he also cleaned up all my other wires, cleaned up after himself, made it look pleasing to the eye, etc. Nice assistant as well and very polite. So, a solidly good company with lots of integrity which is so important in the security field and in today's world. I support local businesses and this is one I would stand behind especially for something so important as your family's security! Did a phenomenal job! read more

His company here I would highly not recommend to anyone they don't service their equipment they claim they guarantee the equipment but they don't the alarm goes off beeping talking about radio frequency all through the night you can't get no sleep no rest and this has been going on and off for 3 years,!!! I've canceled 2 appointments do the health reasons but the follow-up calling and emailing is a total problem the equipment is over 20 years old they use some old equipment cheap contacts on the doors the equipment is outdated nobody else uses I have been bamboozled...!! The monitoring service they might call you they might not when the alarm goes off when you set your alarm I come home I find it's been disarmed on its own they claim it's the panel but they never would replace it.. there are more in other hard wiring reliable companies out there also look you see one maybe two at the most since they started their business that gives a five star nothing in between one maybe two at the most a year you don't get one star rating just one or two people give a five-star rating out of an entire year and there are some skip years that's something I should have looked at first but I didn't beware of freedom along and they excessively charge you for a service that they're not giving for this old outdated equipment...! James is a very dishonest person I noticed his statement that's left here on Yelp I have videos of the alarm going off extensively for a great period of time when called in the middle of the night no response when call the following day no response disrupting my sleep disrupting me in my medical room in my hospital bed this is not the type of lifestyle anyone would want to live Promises and promises to come out to remove the defective panel this is not occurring because of the dispute that happened on July 27th this is the honest to God truth and there's other people within the community that has nothing good to say about this company and I have factually found out that I have old equipment that I'm not going to pay for that is outdated I have emails with the descriptions of what has occurred that I have mentioned in this Yelp I'm not doing this to be facetious I'm sticking facts and I take pictures of the panel so my proof versus his work look at his review look how often how many people one a year maybe two at the most and they're all five star unheard of I find him to be very dishonest and not truthful and this has been my experience for some time the people may call you they may not when your alarm go off but you pay for a service every time it goes off for any reason they're supposed to alert the owner but they don't I'm not going to argue back and forth about this review but one thing about it you can't say you weren't forewarned this is how we decide in society in America based on our experiences personally and legitimately Had Mr James came out to my home and service to find out or kept his word about replacing the panel I wouldn't have had to go to the office and I was disrespected on numerous occasions over the phone these people don't treat you with courtesy they don't care nothing about but getting that little fee every month This is been my family's experience and a few other people I've met as well and then if you really want to know the truth look into his background do your homework and then you'll know the real truth!!!! And for the record I've asked for a alarm certificate numerous times and promise would never receive one for the last 3 years it was mandatory this year by my insurance company which I don't blame them and I got no response note I did send emails I left voicemails everything you could possibly name and because my insurance company was pressuring me I went into the office and requested one and I was treated like I was a homeless person and I'm a homeowner in the community this has been my experience you can take your chances if you want but I'm not the only person who sat bad experiences with this freedom alarm company!!!! read more

FREEOM ALARM, INC. DESERVES 1,0000 STARS FOR PROFESSIOSALISM, CUSTOMER SERVICE, PUCTUALITY, INTEGRITY, AND HEART! It is with awe struck tears flowing down my face that I am writing this review! I am a born again Christian who prays about everything. I am, also, a widow who depends upon Jesus for my every need. A year ago my alarm system of 20 years stared giving me issues. The alarm company I use said it was time for a new system. I ordered the one that they recommended and they installed it. Recently I began having issues with one of my sensors. I changed the battery as instructed. A week later, that same sensor started setting off my alarm at all hours of the day and night. I called my alarm company and was told that it would cost me a good amount of money to have them run a diagnostic and fix it; but that it would be money well spent or I could discontinue to use their services. I was shocked and heartbroken. I felt abandoned. I tried calling three different times over a course of about ten days. I just wanted to ask them if they thought I might be able to order a new sensor and change it myself or if they thought it was a faulty system that I should return to Amazon. My calls have still not been returned. So Thursday night I took this problem to Jesus in prayer. He led me to google "Christian Family Owned Alarm Companies in Antioch". I didn't even know there was such a thing. However, when I plugged that in, Freedom Alarm Company popped up. The reviews were amazing! On Friday I called Freedom Alarm Company to get a quote from them . I was pleasantly surprised that within moments James called me back. He patiently listened to my story, was so kind and friendly, asked me questions about my system, had me send him pictures, and then said, "I have been in this business for 26 years. and I am not familiar with this system. Let me just come and take a look at it and see what we can do. If its an easy fix, we'll just take care of it for you." We scheduled for him to come the next morning, which is now Saturday. He arrived on time, looked at my panel, looked at the sensor, and within moments, he had figured out the problem and explained it to me. He decided to put another set of new batteries in, and fixed the sensor case using tape on the inside to give it a snugger fit. He, also, spotted the loose sensor on my sliding door and quickly did the same. As I reached for my purse to pay him, He said, "No, I am not taking any money. This took me no time at all. It was an easy fix." I tried to insist. I said, "Let me pay you for your time. This is Saturday. You took the time to come and I am not even a paying customer of yours. You spent your gas to get here." He looked at me kindly but firmly and said, "I am not billing you for this. I do not want your money. I do not need your money." That is when the tears started. I knew in that moment that one more time in my life Jesus had indeed shown Himself strong on my behalf over this challenging situation when He led me to FREEDOM ALARM. I asked if I could at least pray with Him. I prayed a blessing over this man's life. Then I asked him, "What makes you do this? Why are you so kind?" He answered with joy and a smile on HIs face, "I lost my dad several years ago. My mom is alone. I try and treat people the way I want to be treated...the way I want people to treat my mom." As I shut the door after him I couldn't stop crying. I thought, 'Was that an angel in disguise?' However, I then remembered all of the amazing reviews I had read, so I know James is a real human being. He just happens to be an extraordinary man with a huge heart; and God uses Him in extraordinary ways to be a blessing to the world around Him. Moving forward I will be highly recommending Freedom Alarm to everyone looking for an alarm company or anyone who has any alarm repair needs. When the time comes for me to get another alarm, I will be reaching out to Freedom Alarm.

Could not recommend Freedom Alarm enough. We had a near-break-in with someone actively casing the neighborhood. We called that night and they came out the next day to take a look, and another day to come by and install a system. Prices were very fair, James and his team were communicative and very helpful - an absolute champion when we needed it the most. read more

Overdue review. I thought I posted my review 2 years ago but couldn't find it on yelp. We moved in our new house with pre-set basis alarm system that came with the house. James was recommended by family members who used him before as he provided the best quote and excellent service. He came out did very detailed walk through. He is honest, professional, knowledgeable. He helped me add new line for additional cameras and installed cameras with existing line, add sensors where it's needed, set up the alarm system. Not like some big name company that would not let you use existing system even if they are compatible with what they sale. James helped me build on what I have. I was very happy and even signed up for their monitoring service. Highly recommend for all your security system related needs. read more

These guys are impressive. James, the owner, went above and beyond to fix an alarm sensor issue that turned out to be a wiring issue as well. With their reasonable rates, superior service technicians, fast response times and the quality of service provided, I highly recommend this shop for installation or repair of any home alarm system. It is nice to work with people who have a perfectionist work ethic, which is hard to find in this day and age. Update 1: I now have Freedom Alarm monitoring my house rather than just fixing wiring issues for an inherited, older system. James rescheduled his off day to meet my busy schedule to retrofit our alarm system to a monitored system. His price to retrofit was very reasonable. We got a new panel, an updated motion sensor, an updated smoke detector and James put every sensor on a dedicated line so that we can now tell where the problem lies if a wiring issue presents. As usual, he went above and beyond. We are extremely pleased with his professionalism, work ethic, knowledge, flexibility in scheduling and the quality of work. The monthly monitoring price is so reasonable, it's a no brainer. Update 2: My home alarm activated while I was away. Since I was stuck during Covid19 in another State, James graciously offered- and followed through- to visit the property in the evening on his own time to make sure nothing was amiss. I highly recommend James' Company for your alarm service needs. read more

Freedom Alarm - Professional, goal-oriented, friendly service when you need it most. - Security Systems Near Me - Antioch, California

James gave us great install and service. We needed a whole new IP camera system to deal with all the crime that our DA of Contra Costa County won't prosecute. Our system was 20 years old and mostly didn't work. He installed new cameras and replaced all old ones with a fresh hard drive that captures stunning quality video. I can check video from my phone when I'm not there. He also put a new alarm system in for us and the monitoring is cheaper than our old provider. I can arm it and disarm it from my phone. Price for all was very fair for whole new alarm and 12 camera system plus wire runs:about $7000. Almost too fair! You need to make some money too James! read more

I had an old alarm system that was not working and needed someone to come out and assess it to see if it could be fixed. I called several companies, most would not touch it unless it was one of their systems or wanted to charge me a ridiculous amount to book an appointment before they even stepped foot in the door! I did not know if it was even fixable. I called Freedom Alarm and they did not charge a fee to come out only an hourly rate which was so reasonable I was surprised! James, the owner of the company came out and did the work. He fixed my old system that day and I inquired about updating it. He then came back a week later and updated my system adding some new features and connecting it to an app that gave me greater security and protection over my old system. I recommend this company for their excellent work, prices, professionalism and customer service. read more

James from Freedom alarm came to our house and gave us a very competitive price for our POE camera installation. I liked the fact that the estimate was based on hours of work rather than number of cameras. We ended up also getting the Ethernet Cat6 wiring for our home. They did a great job and we couldn't be happier. Highly recommended. read more

Gave me a lot of advice. Soon to be back up and running thx James if I need any upgrades will be giving my business to Freedom. Thx again. read more

We are so glad we found Freedom Alarm on Yelp. All the positive reviews made them the first company we called to service our alarm system which suddenly wouldn't set. We liked that they have an answering service and were able to talk to someone right away. James and Clint came the next day (on time) and knew just what to do to repair our system, and at a very reasonable price. James told us we had a good system and didn't try to sell us on getting a new system. We so appreciate the honesty and expertise. We are going to add an outside alarm and another sensor to one of our sliders, per James' recommendation, which I trust completely. I give this firm my highest recommendation. read more

I want to give a big shout out to James and his team. I recently moved to Pittsburg CA. My experience with freedom alarm is super positive, James came in to do a walk through and estimate, at the time of job, we did another walk through to confirm the plan. Clint is very cautious about noises when working since he noticed I was in a conference call meeting. They are professionals know their stuff, they are also very honest people. James' quote is reasonable and fair. I would recommend this team. read more

James has been my savior. I had been having break in and theft problems in a rental property in Antioch for the last 7 days. I had called several other alarm companies, in order to get a system up and running. They either didn't show up or didn't return my calls. Last Friday morning, after another break in, one of the police officers told me about James at Freedom Alarm. James had a system up and running by 6:30 PM that night. The following evening there was another break in. The system worked great and the police were notified. James made it to site before I did. I cannot say enough good things about James or his company. He loves what he does and always has his customers in mind with everything he and his company does. read more

Fantastic! James is friendly, knowledgeable, responsive, and very affordable. James and Clint were at my home installing the new system within a week of my first contact. Excellent customer service and I love that they are local so you get the feeling that you are a part of the "Freedom Family" while also supporting a local business. I highly recommend Freedom Alarm! read more

Needed an alarm system as I am a single female living in a new city. Called freedom Alarm company to get a quote and got the best pricing available. Everyone was so professional and helpful. Exceptional customer service! The installation was done on a Sunday which no other place could accommodate. Sunday was my scheduled move in date and Freedom Alarm made it happen. James the very exceptionally professional and kind owner assisted with the installation process which was very quick and easy. Explained everything so well and I now feel as secure as ever in the new place I moved into. If you are looking for an alarm company to assist you, do yourself a favor and save yourself from the headache of looking into the other alarm companies. Freedom Alarm has the best prices out there and the customer service and professionalism is exemplary! I did a lot of searching and dealt with the headaches of talking with the other companies.. you don't need to that anymore. I did it for you. Call Freedom Alarm now... will be your best choice. I can guarantee you, you will not regret it. They have the best staff, James the owner is excellent, knowledgeable and cares for the work he does to make sure they provide the best experience and service to his customers. Best equipment and the most reasonable pricing. Excellent, excellent experience and service.... I highly recommend Freedom Alarm read more

Freedom Alarm went above and beyond in helping me with an alarm system project. After calling various other local alarm companies, they were either not knowledgeable in what I needed or weren't interested since I had monitoring through another company. James took the time to listen to what I needed and even made a few suggestions to make my alarm system better. James and his team not only swapped out my entire alarm system for an updated version but did so quickly and without leaving a mess. I would HIGHLY recommend Freedom Alarm and will call on them again for my future security system needs! read more

Getting an alarm system through Freedom Alarm was one of the best decisions we've ever made. They are punctual, professional, very knowledgeable, and have excellent pricing! The owners are awesome to work with & we definitely recommend this company to anyone that asks about our system. I feel so much safer knowing I have the extra security Freedom Alarm is providing my family. read more

James and Sebastian did all the wiring and installation of our audio visual equipment during our recent house remodel. They were simply outstanding and I would give them 6 stars if that was possible. Friendly and professional at all times, they made every effort to accommodate our tight schedule despite being very busy elsewhere. The quality of their work was excellent, and their cost was much better than quotes that I received from their competitors. All round a great experience and I would encourage anyone to use their services. read more

Freedom Alarm is best! James is very professional and goes extra mile to get the job done.

You will be glad you did! read more
