Benefits and Disadvantages of PTZ Camera Posted on December 30, 2015 by

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!

I called Security Alarm to check on cameras for outside since we had used them in our Ag business for years. The process to get lined up was simple and Larry was very thorough in explaining everything. They were out in just a few days to install them. Both guys were very friendly and professional. It didn't take long to install and I know they probably had wiring issues to deal with. They did a great job and the cameras show exactly where I wanted them. I am very pleased with the service and products installed.Thanks!

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. The guys that did the installation were very knowledgeable and even cleaned up where they did any drilling.I like this system because all equipment is mine and will stay with the house if it's sold. All the new owners will have to do is call for monthly monitoring.

Great service on every encounter with Security Alarm of Salem, Illinois. The latest example occurred yesterday as service manager Erin listened to my explanation of our fire alarm problem and understood the urgent need of repair.Technician Joe Morrison quickly arrived at our Cila and demonstrated why the problem was some where other than the fire alarm equipment. 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.

My system was outdated, and I called Security Alarm to up date it for me since I had boughten it from them in the past. Service was extrremely fast, professional job, they were extremely friendly and were very helpful employees. I wouldn''t use any other alarm company. They are A++ in my opinion.

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.
