Their landline monitoring rates are the lowest of any company I called ($140/year lower to be exact), and the owner, Jim Sheppard, is so helpful and pleasant to speak with. Not only do they handle landline and wireless alarm systems, but they also install low voltage and wiring for cable, internet, audio/visual, etc. They installed our security system and are monitoring our office building, and we'll be changing our home alarm to them as well. I highly recommend them for their high quality service, excellent communication, and non-saleslike demeanor.

I've had my alarm system for about a year and a half now and have had ZERO issues overall with the…read moresystem. Any time I needed to get in touch with Matt with any questions I've had, he's always answered the phone upon my first call or called/texted back very quickly. He is very responsive. And the equipment and installation cost is very reasonable. When I first requested service, he answered everything without hesitation and installation was almost flawless, but was there immediately after to replace a faulty part and it's worked perfectly ever since. The monitoring services have always been super fast calling me (when I accidentally set off the alarm myself - either noise to the glass break sensor or opening a door without shutting off the alarm first - DUH!). And, they are extremely professional. The pricing for the monitoring services are also very reasonable. I once had a little glitch with the software that was sending me messages hours after I had set the alarm and left home and it kinda freaked me out that it said I had disarmed the system. I texted Matt since it would be a couple more hours until I'd be home again and he responded immediately and helped put my nerves at ease that there was no one in my home while I wasn't there. He explained how to resolve the issue and so far, no more incidents. I am about to call and find out how to potentially further protect the outside of my home with cameras. This is the best alarm and monitoring service I've ever had.

Bottom line up front. Matthew is amazing and you should hire him…read more You know how you get a vibe that someone is going to be great to work with? That is Maximum Security Services. I felt very comfortable having security doorbell, camera and motion detector light sent directly to him. He installed it while I was out of town. Communication was fantastic and it wasn't the easiest job without me being there. My Nest doorbell and motion detector lights were installed perfectly. Thank you Matthew. You will be my first call for all my security camera and motion detector light installs.

I was dreading doing this and they made the process very painless. Thank you for making this experience a good one. Patsy

They've been very fast to respond to any issues and, I'm happy with it. Give them a shot.

Still isn't finished. Didn't leave any instructions on how to login into the software or operate remote. He felt just telling the elderly click this and that would be good enough. He knew my father couldn't walk (100% disabled) to see his re-work on a camera at the front door, wires hanging everywhere. Step-father died and system not working. Tried communicating with him, but he simply kept arguing that he left the system working when he left. Finally, he said he would come out and try to get it working and help my mother. Prior to his arrival, I asked if he could provide instructions on paper on how to login, pan/tilt cameras, etc... (knowing 2 cameras didn't work, the Pan/Tilt feature didn't work as he told me when I was there). He asked me not to text him on cell and to submit a ticket on his website and that his contract was with my Step-Father. 1. Two (2) cameras don't work 2. Cannot Pan/Tilt 3. Front-Door camera has wires hanging out everywhere. 4. Lied to my mother and father about coming back once wifi was working, even though my father had access to his computer via wifi outside in the Gazebo where he sat all day. Had he simply followed through and been more professional, I wouldn't be here writing this review. But instead, he chose to be unprofessional so we told him not to come by anymore. He's untrustworthy and with my mother living alone, she didn't feel safe. Hence my response to warn others. Oh, not to mention, his hired help (from craigslist) came by the house asking if we saw him. Apparently he owes him $50 and blocked his number.

In review of the cameras and system we had questions and Rich made himself available to come back to the site and work with us on the issues and even performed a relocation of two cameras that the HOA wanted moved.
