Simplify Your Security: Unified Monitoring with Fewer Apps | Oct 10, 2025

Managing your home or business security shouldn’t feel like a full-time job, but for many people, that’s exactly what it becomes. One app for the alarm. Another for the cameras. A separate interface for fire alerts. And don’t even get started on access control. If you’re tired of juggling multiple apps and systems that don’t talk to each other, it’s...

What Our Customers Are Saying

Excellent
Heather Iffert
Systems are top notch - modern, reliable and thoughtfully designed to provide real peace of mind. Everything is explained clearly, installed professionally and customized to fit your needs rather than pushing a one-size fits all solution.

What truly sets them apart is their small-town, genuine desire to help. You're not treated like an account number - you're treated like a neighbor! Every interaction is personal, honest and rooted in a sincere commitment to keeping people safe. They take the time to answer questions, check in when needed and make sure everything is working as it should.

It is rare to find a business that combines cutting-edge security technology with such authentic care and integrity. If you are looking for a company that delivers exceptional systems AND truly stands behind their customers, Security Alarm is the one.
Brian Jay
I have owned a security system for my personal residence for a number of years. From the installation to the follow up, the experience has been nothing short of a fantastic. I just recently added cameras to my system and again had the same positive experience. I know first hand that this company and their employees care about the customers they serve and they invest a lot of time and money back into the communities that they serve. Their competitors do not even begin to compare.
Deb Branch
We have Security Alarm here at the church. We are well pleased with them. We do not have any issues with their security company. Once in a blue moon, there may be a technical issue. A simple phone call and they resolve the issue.
Larry Bemesderfer
We like Security Alarm, we have had very little problems and what we did have they fixed. The only problem we have is when we travel, we have trouble seeing our cameras on our computer, could be the computer though and we can see them on our phones with no problem. Thanks, Larry
Myron Lloyd

The entire experience was great. Meeting with salesperson Ryan C. who didn’t try to sell us things we didn’t need. The installation crew who cleaned up as they went along and answerd all the questions about operating the system. Top notch all around. Would highly recommend Security Alarm to anyone wanting peace of mind concerning the family and home.
Mark Cosgrove
No concerns. Their response is immediate 24/7

Adam Morlan visited our residential properties today in flora to inspect our fire alarms and smoke detectors, and he received numerous compliments from our management team at each location regarding his respectful and polite demeanor.

Randy Henderson
Once again the technician asked the right questions and sorted the problem out. I was unable to verify which zone each sensor was on, but he tracked it down and determined that the problem wasn't where we thought it was. He replaced the bad sensor and checked the others. And on the day I called. Thanks again, Security Alarm.
Curt W. Ferguson, P.C.
Quick replies and great attention to detail! Knowledgeable and friendly staff! Got us taken care of quickly!

Tony Wielt
Have worked with SAC for over 15 years now and recently made a much needed upgrade. Each interaction that I have had with them, from the Office Staff to the Sales Staff to the Installers, was professional and positive. They worked around my customers during installation and was minimal interruption to my business. Plus - they are locally owned and operated. That means a lot to work with other business owners like us.
Larry Bemesderfer
Jeff was here yesterday and found the problem with both cameras and even had to work in the rain to get them replaced and up and running. Thanks
Jim H
Everything you could hope for. There was no attempt to sell us something we did not need. When a minor problem occurred they were there to take care of it. Great friendly people.
Becky Phillips
So pleased with the security system at UcamP Express RV Park, it has afforded me the freedom to do life, but yet be able to keep up-to-date on everything at the park. Customer service is top notch at Security Alarm of Salem, IL.
Vicki Owen
We have had Security Alarm for several years. Unfortunately, we have accidentally forgotten on occasion the alarm was set when we opened a door. Within seconds we would get a call making sure everything was okay.

A couple times we had to have a technician come out to our house for a minor problem. The problems were resolved quickly and professional.

We highly recommend Security Alarm for your home and business security.
Response from the owner:Thank you Vicki for taking the time to leave a review!

Gene Gurley
The technicians (Curtis and Jeff) arrived as scheduled, had the installation diagrams as discussed with Larry during the sales presentation and immediately began working on the planned installation. These gents came prepared with proper tooling, equipment and most impressive was a strong desire to satisfy the customer. The install was timely, they ensured their quality of work was satisfactory and cleaned up their work areas after the system functionality was verified. Great technicians!
Response from the owner:Gene, thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review! We are so thankful for our techs and the amazing work and customer care that they give.
