Ami helped to coordinate installs was a total Angel because our schedule is Hectic and our project of sorting out multiple old systems, broken sensors and contacts, and a mess left by the old company (nothing was labeled or organized) required multiple visits and at odd times- I really appreciate that the installers were committed to doing everything right even though it took more equipment and time than we originally anticipated. Also love the head engineers that are familiar with lots of systems to help with random WiFi/network errors. The systems themselves are sleek and easy to use with the app. The sensors can be delayed or disabled for certain purposes. I also accidentally set off the alarm silently, they called me and the cops, and were able to call off the cops easily once confirming it was me. Lots of nice safety features to this alarm which Scott tested to make sure they worked as needed :) We compared to another well know local company that seemed a bit outdated (no app access/control) and a giant national company (expensive setup, less local, not as individualized attention). Ultimately chose safe and sound for the excellent customer service and highly recommend!

We inherited a complex system, but Eyal made sure that we could work with the system instead of replacing the entire thing (like most national companies had suggested). He took matters into his own hands to resolve issues that stemmed in the process of making the system our own and treated our case with attention and urgency. Ernesto was also a phenomenal tech and took detailed steps to ensure that our security system was up and running smoothly. At a time when many companies cut corners and try to upsell customers, Eyal is a breath of fresh air. We would heartily suggest working with Protection Now to everyone!

After months of searching for an installer willing to work on my Ring Retrofit Alarm Kit in Manteca, I was about ready to give up. Then, Eyal came through--responding within a day and sending a highly skilled installer who did an incredible job. They seamlessly integrated all my legacy wired door and window sensors, setting up new zones on my Ring system with precision and efficiency. The level of professionalism, responsiveness, and expertise they provided was top-notch. If you're looking for a reliable team to help secure your home, **Protection Now** is the way to go. I highly recommend them for any alarm system needs!

Good stuff: * The basic security works…read more * They were willing to work with and upgrade an existing wired security solution, adding wireless gadgets on as needed. * There's an iPhone/Siri integration to arm and disarm. Bad stuff: * We asked the installer to install a Verizon modem due to coverage in our area, but they installed an AT&T modem without telling us. This caused a lot of intermittent reliability problems and was costly to diagnose and fix. They weren't willing to give us a discount on the repairs even though it was their fault, since we didn't notice problems within 10 days of the install. * Every time we issue a Siri voice command to arm away, it times out (though it usually works, it's just hard to tell whether it worked.) * The app is very slow. Note that we have about 20 sensors, so it could be related to the amount.

FREEOM ALARM, INC. DESERVES 1,0000 STARS FOR PROFESSIOSALISM, CUSTOMER SERVICE, PUCTUALITY,…read moreINTEGRITY, 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.

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!
