Yud came to our house, helping us identify the best positioning for the cameras and quickly generating a quote that beat the other companies. The system is very easy to use as it is all controlled by the Alarm.com app. I highly recommend Smart Shield to anyone looking into home security systems, they really take care of you.

Incredible experience with Smart Shield! New house in Carlsbad literally had the wires ripped out…read moreof the hard-wired security system and hadn't been used in years. Somehow they were able to restore all of them and added hard-wired cameras, glass break listeners, smoke detectors, remote front door lock, and tied into my existing garage door openers - all controlled by the easy-to-use Alarm.com software. Mateus did a great job configuring the alerts and teaching me how to use the mobile app. Yud brings an incredible amount of knowledge from his experience and military background into designing your system. I thought the price was very fair considering the piece of mind they have given me and my family.

While I connected and labeled the patch cables myself, his home run keystone runs were exceptionally tidy. I would hire him in a second for any future drops.

We have a decent sized house, and the Internet wasn't working consistently to all areas for a few years. The first tech who came out, was here for at least 6 hours and could not figure out what the problem was. The second company I hired, charged me a fee to come out and take a look. He was here for about 15-20 minutes and told me I needed to upgraded my equipment and charged me $200. He said there was something unplugged, which there wasn't. After he left the Internet was still not working properly. I found Simply Wired on Yelp, and boy am I happy camper. He came out for a free consultation, sent me a quote within a few days and a list of equipment I needed to purchase (my old equipment was a few years old and I just wanted to start new anyways). After receiving all the items, Brian came out and set it all up. My 'wire closet' or whatever it's called was so messy and full of old wiring and equipment that we couldn't even close the door. Not only can we close it now, but it looks amazing. He also used some of my old equipment to help boost the signal in certain areas. After the install, I had a couple of questions, texted him and he immediately responded. Brian is professional, reasonably priced, has great communication and smart! Don't hesitate to hire him. I only wish I found him sooner!

I do not recommend…read more We used this service for the 3 year contract we signed up with. I was a bit hesitant at first as the owner was a bit opinionated. Service seemed like it was OK, but seemed very glitchy. Used low grade equipment, like Ecolink wireless contacts which are not reliable. They go directly to malfunction when they have a low battery rather than show the low battery among other issues. Honeywell Vista panel, kind of junk and not every good. The main panel is fine and smoke/motion seem ok. But for over $800+ in equipment and install. I think we got ripped. App they use sucks! Glitchy! Fast forward 3 years. New house, decided to have Dana move the Equipment. He stated we could not move the equipment to the new home. I said to myself, that's a bunch of BS. I paid for it, it is coming. He said no, gave me some BS and I decided not to fight it. So he made us buy new equipment. This is not proprietary equipment. We did not rent the equipment, we bought it. Only the Cell device in it we leased and I think now that is where he took us! Clever scam. But too late for me. So Dana installed in our new location. Be aware he talks a lot during install and takes longer than needed. All seemed to be working fine. This was March 2025. 1 year later I have not bothered Dana for anything. Nothing. We noticed several times the alarm was set off and we did not get any calls, or if we did it was 1-3hrs later to check. For us this was not right. My wife was not keen on keeping the service with this guy, she just did not like the service or dealing with Dana. So we texted him and emailed him politely to cancel the service. At this time we cancelled we also installed new windows as well. Some of the sensors were not working. I called Dana for some help while we still have our service active why the sensors do not work. I fixed all the sensors and everything was OK. So, I told Dana he did not need to come out and fix it and charge us $125 service fee. All is fine and at that moment, I said to him we will maintain the service as long as we can test the service to see if the monitoring service he uses will call us. I tested twice with no calls, one for over a 1 minute of the alarm going off before resetting it. Dana claims there is a buffer. He said he will remove it. I said, why is there a buffer, 30 sec sure, but I can assure you and I told him I told him about this problem before where the alarm was triggered for way over 1 min and no one calls. He did nothing about it then and we still have the problem. Anyway, Dana stated he will remove the buffer. I said fine but let's test the response time and if OK we can maintain the service. I was about the hang up and Dana thought he hung up but he did not. He stated to the person that was next to him, that "Jesus Christ this guy is a pain in the ass". I said, "Dana, you did not hang up. So I am a pain in the ass huh?" Then Dana goes on whole insane Ad Hominem Rant. How I am above everyone else and that he is sure no one has ever told me that I think I am above everyone. Etc.... Lots and lots of insults for no reason whatsoever other than he got caught talking bad about a customer. Anyway, I laughed at the end of his speech and said, "whatever Dana". That was my response, nothing more. Then he promptly sent a text and email cancelling our Service April 30th. "that is final". I was nothing but nice to this clown and he did the whole flip out and flip the blame to tactic. Ran out with his tail tucked. Good for us, now we will have a service that is done well, monitored well and has higher end equipment and thank the stars I never ever have to deal with Dana again in my house, on the phone or for any other reason! I highly suggest looking elsewhere, he is cheap, cheap for a reason!!!

He quoted a fixed price which he thought would cover the installation. He came early next morning as promised. It took longer than an hour but he offered to stay with the quote.

The solar panels are working perfectly with 100% charge every morning. I highly recommend North County Home Audio Video Security. Anil P.

I hired Joe initially to repair a sliding glass door, he did a fine job…read more I hired him again to refurbish the interior of a kitchen island. This project required all day, he worked hard on it and it was more difficult than he anticipated, somewhat due to his approach. I paid him substantially more than he asked due to the difficulty and his time spent. When he left for the evening, the project was not complete, but we agreed he would return to complete the job.....But, he never did. I called him several times and attempted to schedule a follow-up to complete the work, but he could not find a date that worked for him. He stated he had other jobs to do. I am very disappointed that Joe did not compete the job or follow up with an attempt to complete it. I finally got tired of calling him to schedule. The work that was completed is substandard and I am left with the problem of getting the job done another way.

Mounting Canvas TVs (great TVs, horrible mounting system), setting up Sonos bars and hiding the cords in walls so it fits seamlessly.

I have/had no intention to set up monitoring (monthly fee plus phone line). I purely liked the alarm system and door chime for my children. Additionally coupled with Alexa you can monitor yourself, in my opinion. David of C7 alarm was 1 of only 2 people I could find across multiple search engines who would affordably service an un-monitored security system. Not only was he by far the most affordable, he attempted to help me resolve the issue over the phone without charge. Once he came over he was extremely knowledgeable on the history and application of all home security systems, very efficient, and extremely thorough. This was truly one of those amazing customer service moments you occasionally can find via Yelp or the internet in general. 10/10 recommend if your stuck in a similar situation.
