Used Alert Protective Services to replace my existing security camera system. Excellent sales and installation. No hard pressure sales, truly consulted with me on how I should set up my new system. The installers arrived on time, were professional, and knew exactly what I wanted in terms of placement.

I highly recommend Alert Protective Servicesweve been with Alert for 6 years and have always been impressed by their customer service. A year ago we had our basement refinished, and Alert came before and after the project, giving us extra time and attention, to ensure we had the right products to meet our new needs. Whenever weve accidentally set off our own alarm, Alert is always on it and reaches out to us immediately. We feel an extra sense of security knowing we have Alert.

Been using these guys since January 2018. Service works flawlessly. I have had them out twice to add to our system. Very happy with the cameras, alarm.com system, how it works with my phone, etc. They are protecting my 35k warehouse. We use Key FOBS to enter, cameras protecting things, etc. Highly recommend these guys.
