It's been a year since I've ordered my alarm system from Jeff, if I've ever had a problem which has…read morebeen minum to only a question he's answered right away, this company has given me a piece of mind here in Bakersfield , I feel a lot safer than I had before. I looked at a few other companies that stopped by and they didn't compare to these guys. They're giving away the alarm, cellular thing, all the door contacts, window contacts, motion detectors, glass break detectors smoke detector,remote, wireless lock, thermostat, and doorbell camera. The monitoring is great. They're really doing a good job over there. The times that we accidentally set It off they cleared it up, no problem. Thanks guys.

I signed up with Secure System June/July 2022. They showed up with a bunch of equipment and bulky…read moreequipment that I wasn't expecting. After reluctance I agreed since I was having to leave to North Carolina for work and needed a system for my house. I purchased a second home in North Carolina not long after. I installed SimpliSafe in that home. 1. The system you buy what you need, and install it yourself. The equipment doesn't leave residue. There are no holes or wiring involved. 2. Secure System, stated the system had 24 hour back in the event of power outages. It's Bakersfield, in the summer power outages are frequent. I kept getting calls at 2 am to notify me or the next person in my list o contacts, that we had a power outage. Like who wants to be wakened up at 2am to be told you have a power outage ? Ok, thanks, but don't I have 24 hour back up power in the system? Yes, but we thought you should know you don't have power at 2am. 3. I signed a 3- yr contract for $70/month I tried to ask if I could remove some of the windows they said, you can remove them but we will continue to charge you $70/month. Then the bill went to $78/month. I contacted multiple times no response. 9 months later and im finally in Bakersfield and go personally in to the office. They tell, me oh, maybe a mistake you shouldn't be paying $70 that was a mistake. So since April 2023 I've been paying $78 not $70 as per the same contract that they were holding me. 4. To end my contract early I paid Secure System $826 to end the contract and have them remove all their equipment from my house. They come, remove and LEAVE all the residue, wires, and holes in my walls for me to go clean. The guy who came said, the stuff comes off with Goof Off. I have to go buy things to clean up and patch up their mess. Save your self the time and energy and go with SimpliSafe, $24.99 BETTER service and equipment. You can add or remove whatever you want when you want, I can drop down to $14.99 a month if I wanted to and create schedules on the system. Now I need to pay for someone to patch and paint the holes and clean the reside Secure Systems left behind on top of the $826 I paid them to get out of my house. RESPONSE TO MOLLY: 1. Unfortunate, you can't event get my name right. My name is Jessica per the contract and Yelp page. 2. Thanks, but Molly needs to try to attempt to discourage people with the Cellular Fear to make sure people are afraid and come get stuck on the same issue I did. I have a BS, Chemical Engineering. I've done extensively comparing Secure System to other systems and that's why I can, and WILL continue to help other people not fall for this company willing to cause damage and mess in people's personal property like a home. SimpliSafe partnered is with ADT which is a reliable safety company that LYFT also uses for leading the industry when it comes to safety. Even LYFT uses and partners with ADT for passengers. The cameras send real time video in the event it needs to seen real time to send RESPONDERS !! SimpliSafe does not partner with SmartHomes to ensure the safety and Integrity of their systems. THIRD UPDATE: they connected their shitty system to my HVAC in the attic, and it's been WITHOUT POWER for 17 days because of their technician. In addition to the cleaning, patching, painting, I need to bring my HVAC contractor that had installed all new duct work and HVAC unit to go see why, if the breakers on the panel are on, does my unit not have power. BY ALL MEANS WORK WITH THESE PEOPLE IF YOU WANT ALL THESE HEADACHES AND EXPENSES STEALING HOUR MONEY AND DAMAGING YOUR HOME.

I already reviewed Ring, SimpliSafe, Vivint, and Blink. We rent and there is equipment inside the home from Tel-Tec. So, I assumed I could just turn it on and no installation fee. Plus being local, I expected pricing to be competitive. I called and was transferred to Sales. I left a VM but no call back. I e-mailed using their contact us page, no reply or phone call. I called again, and was transferred to Sales who then transferred me to someone else, supposedly he was to have contacted me already. I explained my situation and was told it was going to be $250 for restarting/professional installation and more if we decide to upgrade to newer products plus $24 a month monitoring service. This house has two motion sensor lights, that is it and their keypad, and that was $250 to be restarted? You can get a way better package with SimpliSafe with more equipment and keep it, and their fee is only $14 a month! When asked about security cameras, he said they don't have that type of service but was looking at 800 to 2500 depending on how many we wanted. Again, way too high for that too. You can get Blink cameras, set of 4, for less than 300 and no service fee! You can even connect them if you're worried about the battery either by outlet or using a small solar panel. You would think they'd be more aggressive to their competitors.
