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!

My husband and I had no clue what to get for a security system. We called Security Alarm, Tom came out and looked and within just a few minutes of him talking with us he knew exactly what we needed. We went over a few different options and plans and figured out what we wanted. By the time he left we knew we had made the best choice by going with Security Alarm. They truly believe in what they do and I’m happy to be a customer. I haven’t had any trouble with anything, but the times I’ve talked to people on the phone they’ve been super nice and very helpful. I love the fact that a real person answers the phone and I don’t have to go through anything automated. I highly recommend Security Alarm and am very pleased with our system!

We first met with Larry O. when he came out to discuss purchasing their system. He explained the system throughly to us. When the time came for the install Daniel D. and Mark H. installed the wiring and cameras. They set everything up and wired the system to a monitor. They went through the install app on our smartphones with us also. They were very professional, knowledgeable and informative with the way they conducted themselves. They were attentive to detail and made sure everything, (furniture, etc.) was put back the way they found it. Daniel D. came back the next day to follow up with us concerning any questions we may have had. Good experience with this Company as of this writing.

Larry the Salesperson was knowledgeable, and explained products well. He informed of different options and choices for our situation.Next came the installers and they were also kind, considerate and got their work done with as little bother as possible. They explained how the system works etc. and even though it seemed like a lot to remember we have had no problems in working it and it is nice to know if we do something wrong or have a problem, they will call us to make sure before it goes out as a false alarm. We are enjoying the security it gives.

We have been customers of Security Alarm for 8 years at our current home. The peace of mind and ease of use are priceless. So much so that we are installing their system with some added features to our new home.We have always found every employee of this company to be helpful & straight forward.On the occasions that we have accidentally set off our alarm, it has been less than a minute before the monitoring center are calling to check in.If you are in the market for a security system, we highly recommend you give Security Alarm the opportunity to explain their system to you.

The Marion office was very helpful in contacting someone for us when we were looking for information on Security Alarm systems. Larry was an easy person to talk to and seemed knowledgeable about the system. He even brought up points that we had not thought about. Larry was more than agreeable to coming back and going over what we had decided on in our previous meeting. The installation guys were respectful, clean and also very helpful. If we have any problems, everyone let us know that all we needed to do was call and someone would help us. We would definitely recommend Security Alarm as a company to consider for security services.

We had a security system installed in January of 2020.

All the new owners will have to do is call for monthly monitoring.

He explained it in a manner this old man ( me ) would understand.Many THANKS to all involved, especially Erin and Joe.

I have been a customer of Security Alarm for several years. They installed and have maintained a burglar alarm at our residence and farm buildings. In mid-August, 2019, we had inside, electronic damage due to a lightning strike. Even with the difficulties of diagnosing/repairing our burglar alarm after lightning damage, Security Alarm stayed with the job to see the project through. When repair difficulties arose, Security Alarm sent their most-experienced alarm technician at no charge to figure out what was still wrong. After a very long Friday, Jim found the problem, made the repair, programmed the main panel, and tested every component of the alarm system. Now, everything is working correctly. I really appreciated Security Alarm's fair handling of the repair and their honesty exemplified through not charging me for unproductive time when, for whatever reason, they were not able to correctly diagnose the problem (the problem was ultimately a defective new, out-of-the-box part that they replaced). They listened to my concerns and acted accordingly.

I would like to say something about the Security Alarm Corporation and their employees, the techs, the office personnel, the sales people. They have all been very helpful when I have had a question concerning my system, Someone is always there to answer my question and get me headed in the right direction to correct a problem which in almost all cases, it was me that created a problem, whether not entering the correct information or just not understanding the procedure to activate or deactivate my system. The system operates as it should and does so in seconds if alarm is activated.If you are looking for a good security system, Security Alarm Corporation is the place to go.

The initial visit with Larry the sales rep- he went over everything in detail and walked throughout my house to point out what could be used where (glass breaking vs. window alarm) They scheduled install immediately (other local company took over 2 weeks to scheduled for my grandma's house) The installers were very professional and courteous (were even sweeping up what little mess they made) I am not easily impressed but they definitely have surpassed my expectations already! Thank you to the Security Alarm team!

We moved to Salem Il 2 1/2 years ago. We had heard nothing but good things about Security Alarm. They worked to build the kind of system I wanted in our home. They are professional and customer care is their long suit. From Larry who sold the alarm to Daniel and Aaron Dice who worked with me, we have a trouble fee unit. What impresses me the most is that we did have issues and Security Alarm stepped up without me asking, and redesigned and upgraded our system to a much different higher quality system that would work flawlessly for our needs. All of this was at their expense. This is something you just don't find anymore. They are proactive and in our particular case, there was a better solution and they handled it with smiles. They just completed a video installation the other day at our home. If you want the best security system and the most superior service do not think twice about calling Security Alarm.

Larry who gave the quote was very cost conscious and courteous. He took time to explain all the features of the system for my mom. Living in another state he went above and beyond. Curtis the installer was very friendly, professional, he took the time to show her the system and didn't leave until she felt comfortable operating the system. Great company, family owned and you aren't put on hold. Use them if you are getting an alarm system.

We got broke into the Monday after Thanksgiving in 2015. After this my family and I did not have peace of mind until we had the security alarm installed. I priced three different companies and Security Alarm was definitely the best product and presentation. The knowledge and know how was leaps and bounds above the rest. Security Alarm then came and installed our alarm system on the day and time they said they would. The system has worked flawlessly for three years now. I would definitely recommend them for any security alarm needs. I am 100% satisfied.

I got burglerized in July and wanted to get a home alarm system. I had heard nothing but good things about this company and decided to call them. Aaron Dice came out and told me all about the system and different options and we came up with the perfect solution. Wade came out and did a amazing installation. Very professional explained everything and it works great. Much less money that I expected to pay.They have been in business for ever and don't need this review but I wanted to say what a good expierence I had because when someone has what they consider a bad one they tell everyone but never when they have a good one! Great job guys and keep up the good work!
