Commercial Fire Alarm System

If you own a hotel, convenience store, restaurant, or some other commercial building, then at some point your business fire alarm has been activated whether intentionally or by accident. We all know that fire alarms are loud. They can even feel too loud. We also know that as soon as the alarm sounds, the police […] Read More

Things To Do In Southern Illinois Posted on July 10, 2019 by

Often times we say that there isn’t anything to do in Southern Illinois. It’s a common phrase down here. While it may be true that compared to large metropolitan areas there aren’t as many options in rural southern Illinois, there is far from “nothing to do”.  So, in the spirit of celebrating Southern Illinois and […] Read More

Tech’s Pick – Home Security Tips From Joe Posted on June 26, 2019 by

This Month the “Tech’s Pick” blog, we will be highlighting Joe Morrison.
Joe is one of our burglar alarm installers. He has been with us a little over three years now and does a phenomenal job. He is not only a great installer but he also is good at troubleshooting, so you’d be lucky to get him out to your home or business on a service call.

What Our Customers Are Saying

Fast efficient and very professional. The men who installed cleaned up their entire mess. You couldn't even tell they were here. Very nice and helpful employees. They all went the extra mile to make sure I was happy and felt comfortable with the equipment. I highly recommend them!

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.

I had them out for service recently and prompt, courteous service. I have been using Security Alarm at my home and businesses for several years. The service is always top notch. I just called and requested a certificate of installation. They sent it within 5 minutes. I love dealing and doing business locally and they make it easy to do business with them. Dorinda was who handled the certificate and I appreciate her efforts!

I had a very professional and pleasant experience. I knew very little about these systems, but was educated by their team, picked a reasonably priced system that was installed quickly. Following installation, I was quickly trained how to use the system on site or remotely. Great people, great attitude, and superb customer assistance. Ed Allen

I am a retired police officer and now professor of criminal justice. In my first career, I responded to multiple alarms throughout my career and learned how they worked and even some weaknesses in the systems. In my current career, I speak often in the classroom about alarm systems.

I met Josh when our church was looking at purchasing a camera security system. I soon had him at my residence for a system. Josh or any employee did not attempt to up-sell me and addressed ideas on my camera numbers and location.
When the COVID restrictions relaxed, our system was installed!

The installation was very smooth, the cameras were very well placed and the inside monitor and DVR were also well placed to not be outstanding in case of a break-in. The installation guys did very well at any minor mess they made and ensured everything was clean and put back in place. The office calls and emails I have made were all answered in very polite and professional ways. The explanation of the system given was in a manner I could understand. All questions at the time were answered. I was recommended to contact the office if any questions came up in the future.

The security of this camera system accompanied with my security alarm system is now a great comfort in keeping my family safe.

The cellular phone viewing is also great for looking at our property when we are absent.

I highly recommend this business! Great customer service. Great job!

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.

From start to finish our experience with Security Alarm has been professional and comforting. Either dealing with the sales portion or installation any and all questions were explained and answered with great knowledge, not to mention a very courteous staff. Highly recommend this company and if you are on the fence between them and another brand, give them a call and just talking with them will be enough to realize they are the place to go.

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.

Great service! The technician Aaron W was so helpful and took all the time I needed to talk me through re-programming my Sky Bell doorbell to the Wi-Fi router after I updated my Internet service. He (Aaron) said he wanted to save the cost of a service call and he could do that by talking me through the steps to re-program.
My husband and I are both extremely happy with all of our monitoring and interactions with Security Alarm and recommend them to anyone looking for a security company.

I most definitely recommend Security Alarm over any security company available in the Marion, IL region! From Larry the sales rep---to the installers (Joe and Wade?)- everyone was very detailed in explaining the cost, contracts, available services (fire, floor, security and cameras that are always recording) I HIGHLY recommend this company!

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.

Security Alarm has been in our home for so many years, it feels as if we started the company. Every employee has been courteous, professional, and so willing to help. I cannot imagine placing my trust in a different security company the way I have Security Alarm. Even when I have accidentally set off my alarm, they remain courteous when following through on the alarm. Not once have I heard anyone say, “Not again!” Best security company...ever.

If you are going back and forth wondering if you should get something, do it! Don't wait until something happens! This will give you the security that you need. I highly recommend this business! The boys were on time and were very friendly. They even cleaned up after themselves! Dont wait, get the system that you are comfortable with!
