Default Alarms

We have had Village Alarms for 2 years now. No problems at all. Andre did a great job for us.

You can buy one like Lorex which overs a wide variety of features including night vision, motion detection, water proof, wireless and with a DVR recorder. Easy to install. They have a wide variety of price ranges depending on features and functions and the number of cameras. There are lots of video surveillance systems out there where you can monitor from anywhere with your smart phone and eliminate the monthly fee of an alarm company. I would visit best buy to see what's out there and have the sales people help you for openers. You can also check You Tube by asking for the top 10 video surveillance systems and read the reviews.

We like them. Installed when we were in a new neighborhood with empty lots all around us. Made us feel more secure. Still put it on at night or when traveling

I installed a Ring system in a couple of houses. Took me about 10 minutes per window and door. Very inexpensive and works well. I don’t have it monitored ($10/month) because as a fellow poster pointed out if that siren goes off I don’t think an intruder will hang around to get to know my neighbors.

Village Alarm is the best alarm system in the area. They are a local company. Andre Gordon is the owner and also lives in the area. I have had them for several years and am very satisified.

Default Village Alarm

Used Village Alarm and were very happy with their work and the quality. They explained all the functions and assisted online when we had a minor issue. Would recommend.

Careful about wireless systems as they can be defeated.

Simply safe can’t be beat. Had them and their equity for 12 years. Best there is out there in security alarms.

I selected Village Alarm 3 years ago. They installed the system and set me up with monitoring. It was worth paying up front for the system as the monthly cost was about 1/2 of ADT's saving me about $250/year. I had a system failure last year and they were very responsive and repaired the main key pad within 24 hours. I highly recommend them.

Smile Villages Alarm

I have used their system for over 5 years. No issues, works well and they provide great support. I would not hesitate to use them again if I purchased another new home.

Inherited a Villages Alarm system with new house and very happy with pricing and customer service. Added a very affordable camera system with Villages Alarm after purchase. Have some DIY systems up north and there is a difference. Do your homework and get the system that works for you. Your needs may be different than others posting here.

Simplisafe. Easy peasy. Low monthly monitoring fees. Does not depend upon your home phone line.
