Carlos is knowledgable and professional. I received a quote quickly. He installed cameras according to my needs and took the time to position them in the right spot. I was grateful that he suggested solar which worked out better for me in the long run. He also took the time to set up my app which I appreciate. He walked me through the basics which helped me get acquainted with the system. I was equally impressed with his attention to detail. He made sure smudges were cleaned off the cameras after install. Carlos is pleasant, efficient and easy to work with. I would recommend Carlos. He will do his best for you at a reasonable price. read more

Tremendous service by Carlos. We have 3 rental properties and he installed Ring systems and accommodated our request to come out on 2 separate days as we needed a quick tutorial and it was easier to do face to face in real time and get all of our questions answered at once. He was kind enough to dumb it down for us and send easily understood instructions that we could then easily communicate to our guests. A great experience, nothing but positive things to say. read more

Exceptional Experience at SoCal Alarm - A Local-Owned Gem! I apologize. This review may be a bit long, but hopefully you find it useful. When I moved to the desert, it was into an older home that had an existing alarm, but it needed to be upgraded. After looking around at local options, the national brands, and do it yourself options like Ring, I was left scratching my head as to what truly was the best option. I have a tech background, and I am am comfortable installing both software and hardware components. I was very close to buying one of the Ring systems to upgrade the alarm to include cameras, DVR storage, sensors and keyless entry, but something gave me pause. Just because I can doesn't mean that I want to. I'm glad I had that thought and instead scoured Yelp one last time, only to find Carlos at SoCal Alarm. I first did business with Carlos in 2020 during the pandemic. I had a lot of requirements, but I wanted to keep the cost reasonable. He worked with me to find the best option for me that was affordable and gave me all of the features that I was looking for. When I saw what he had to do to install all of the equipment that I wanted I was glad that I chose not to do it myself. First and foremost, I was impressed by their flexibility. Carlos not only accommodated my busy schedule but also went above and beyond to ensure that all my needs were met. He made the entire process hassle-free and convenient. Every aspect of my experience with SoCal Alarm was truly exceptional. The level of expertise demonstrated by Carlos' team was remarkable. From the initial consultation to the installation process, they exhibited an in-depth understanding. Their knowledge and professionalism gave me complete confidence in their abilities, and I knew my security needs were in the best hands. Carlos even helped me correct a problem with our electrical circuit that he found when he was installing one of the larger cameras. Since the initial installation, he has been back several times to help maintain the system, troubleshoot issues, and install additional equipment. No matter who on his team comes to complete the work the quality is always the same. What sets SoCal Alarm apart from other businesses is their unbeatable value. Not only did they provide top-notch service, but they also did so at a competitive price. Carlos offers exceptional quality without breaking the bank, making him a true gem in the desert. read more

Carlos is the man! He responded to my quote request immediately. Came the next day to walk through the house with us since we were unsure about what we wanted exactly. He gave us suggestions and made sure we were covered in all areas while not over doing it. The budget he gave us was remarkable! Jp did our installation and was so thorough and was super professional all while being an all around great guy. There was an area in our home that didn't work for what were looking for with the cameras and Carlos immediately addressed the issue.

We needed our surveillance system installed after our original contactor backed out at the last minute. Not knowing where to turn, I turned to Yelp. I'm glad I did! Carlos came to our home the day after I sent my request for a quote. His quote was significantly lower than his competitor. After settling on the installation price and day -- a Saturday, no less -- JP came out to complete the job. Not only did he install 10 cameras, he ran wires throughout our home, set up the system, AND helped program our phones for remote monitoring -- ALL IN ONE DAY! These guys are as professional as they get, yet personable as well. To say we're satisfied with their work doesn't even scratch the surface. I cannot recommend SoCal ALARM Inc. higher than five stars, which is unfortunate. They deserve 10 stars! Thank you, Carlos and JP. Our system is working beautifully! read more

After recently purchasing a commercial building for my business I decided to have a surveillance camera system installed. I typically search Yelp to help guide me to hopefully a good business decision. The first company I contacted completed an inspection of my property and gave me a quote. In my due diligence I wanted another quote. I am very happy I did. I called Carlos Perez, owner of SoCal Alarm. He was very prompt, inspected the property, provided his quote in a very competent yet personable way. Not only did he beat the first quote by 40%, he had the system installed within a few days complete with training provided by Carlos and JP. If you are in need of a security system for your residence or business, SoCal Alarms, Carlos Perez and his team are who you want to get the job done. Thanks SoCal Alarm. read more

I had SoCal ALARM install some security cameras at my home where I also run a small business. Their professionalism was beyond my expectation and their installation was flawless. The fact that I can view my cameras through my smart phone at any given time is so convenient especially when Im out of town. After making the investment to purchase the system I realized that every home and place of business should have cameras installed and should call SoCal Alarm to have them handle that. If I need any more security products installed at my home I'll know who to call because there's nothing more than having peace of mind brought to you by a company you can trust! read more
