They seemed so indifferent to my project. I felt like I involved them early on only to feel like…read morethey didn't feel engaged. The work is high level in terms of install. They left me with audio not syncing to lips and I had to spend a considerable amount of time playing with the marantz amp, Gemini AI and tv to 'fix it'. My Bravío 9 tv picture and adjustments might have been configured. Or not. Who knows? I don't use this space a lot so was looking for a turn key solution. I had suggested another amp and they said you get this one without telling me why I wanted it. I ended up researching and overall the wattage is better and the receiver is better for my system but no one took the time to communicate the why on equipment. I felt like they were a better option then Best Buy install but ultimately left lacking. If I have a question today about the system i wouldn't feel comfortable reaching out with questions. This install was right before the Super Bowl.

We contracted Matt and his team to do a few projects on our new construction home:…read more1. Install security cameras utilizing existing pre-wire 2. Install home networking utilizing Ubiquiti equipment (WAPs, Network Switches) 3. Flush Mount TVs in multiple rooms 4. Install security system utilizing exiting pre-wire 5. Install floodlight 6. Install smoke detectors (Nest) Matt's team was great! Everything was installed perfectly and the team spent time to make sure everything was working as we liked. We did encounter some issues, however, Matt had his team work with us to correct them as we encountered them (i.e. faulty pre-wire causing false-positives on the alarm). I have to give a special shout out to Keith. He installed every single TV in the house to perfection. I was really looking forward to a beautiful flush mount install of our TVs in every room (especially the living, game, and media rooms) and he delivered. Will attach more photos of the cameras and networking closet (which was installed along with a fan).

I greatly appreciated having a home security system installed by Longhorn Smart Home Solutions!…read more Good price and exceptional service! I had used an ADT system for years that needed replacement and ADT service had become problematic.

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.

Update: True Protection is a separate company from Brinks…read more True Protection is top notch in customer service and will set you up properly and resolve any problems. You won't find a more helpful, personable group of folks to work with. However, Brinks is an awful company. We paid way too much for Brinks monitoring and equipment. 5 stars for True Protection; 0 stars for Brinks. Ask True Protection to not use Brinks for monitoring your system.

Updated: the system is broken AGAIN, had a technician no call no show today…read more They remain garbage Absolutely a nightmare from start to finish. The initial sales call went super well, they got out to replace our vivint system within a week which is where the problems started. It took them no less than EIGHT TRIPS to finally get the initial install finished, and each tech they sent badmouthed the work done by the other techs, and management was utterly clueless and absolutely incompetent. The install work was incredibly sloppy, and we had to have painters out to repair all teh damage they did to our walls. They used a weird hodge podge of equipment and software, and we remain deeply unsatisfied. AVOID like the plague.

From David (the owner) to the two point men, John and Juan, this was by far the best experience I have ever had with a contractor. They were professional, honest, efficient, and really did high quality work. They spent over a full day setting everything up and you can tell they cared like they would set up their own home. Pricing was very fair and clear. I can't say enough good things about this company. Don't hesitate to contact them if you need help making your home more hi-tech. I will be reaching out to them again for other projects in the future.

My husband was thinking a certain type of equipment and David Bond explained options that were so much better. We had a difficult electrical placement in a few rooms and David was able to figure it all out to have a seamless installation. The crew to install was exceptional.

Thank you Bond TV for getting ups up and running beautifully.

He gives us the best prices, is trustworthy, and has earned our customer loyalty. When my previous workplace was struck by lightning and all our connections went out, Austin Tech Services submitted the best bid to repair and set up a network that is systematic and grounded (so that the lightning damage doesn't happen again). I also like that I can text him for my personal quotes, repairs, upgrades - instead of having to call every time. We're all busy people and text messages can be answered at each other's convenience (for quick questions). He makes it easy for me to keep going back to this company, and we've always been happy with his and his team's work! In addition to installing our TV wall mount for us back in 2015, over the last couple of years we've also hired him to install our surround sound system and multiple ceiling fans. Thank you, Mario!
