We've been with Custom Alarm for a couple years. We recently had them come out and install another camera to our already existing system. We couldn't be happier. From the install to customer support, Custom Alarm is, hands down, the BEST in the business. They've got a customer for life.

Excellent service. We have used custom alarm for years. They alarmed our home when we were young for security and our peace of mind particularly when traveling and working. When we retired and we're boating and on the go they helped too! We downsized and have used cameras in the home for Alzheimer's partner with caregivers and an app on my phone so I could have peace of mind that all was well at home while shopping etc.

Recently I had a small stroke so now reinstalled system so my children can check on me and I can wear a watch that I if I need assistance I just push a button for help in an emergency.

Installers were efficient and professional. They were very helpful in explaining how to arm and disarm the system and use the app.

They crew that did the installation was awesome. They worked around our kitchen cooking schedule and the kids play schedule to install our new cameras. The guys were amazing. Thankyou for the quick, easy installation and for teaching me how to use them. Lorilyn

Very professional from start to finish. Listend to my needs at the first meeting. The installer made certain to make a clean and professional installation as well as walking me thru how to use all parts of the equipment. Great group of people!

We switched to Custom Alarm after 3 years of poor service from a local competitor. Great service and install team. They explained everything well. Still have a few things to learn but great team.

We had two employees from Custom Alarm come to our home today to install our security system. They were professional and shared their knowledge about the install process. When it came time to teaching us the online system they were very thorough and when they left we felt confident and were not intimidated by the new system. Thank you very much.

After undergoing a big remodel we had Custom Alarm back out today to hook us back up with a new system. We are beyond thrilled with how everything went today. The crew was so awesome. We have trusted Custom Alarm with our security for 16 years, and look forward to many more. They are the best company!

I have had great experience with Custom Alarm for both my business and now personal security. The system is so convenient once it is all set up and allows me to monitor everything I need from my phone, computer, or the panel. The customer service has also been exceptional from the initial quote, walk through and install. The installers were very professional and made sure to leave everything clean and tidy as well as made sure everything was working properly and I knew how to do everything before they left.
