Somehow they were able to restore all of them and added hard-wired cameras, glass break listeners, smoke detectors, remote front door lock, and tied into my existing garage door openers - all controlled by the easy-to-use Alarm.com software. Mateus did a great job configuring the alerts and teaching me how to use the mobile app. Yud brings an incredible amount of knowledge from his experience and military background into designing your system. I thought the price was very fair considering the piece of mind they have given me and my family.

I have/had no intention to set up monitoring (monthly fee plus phone line). I purely liked the alarm system and door chime for my children. Additionally coupled with Alexa you can monitor yourself, in my opinion. David of C7 alarm was 1 of only 2 people I could find across multiple search engines who would affordably service an un-monitored security system. Not only was he by far the most affordable, he attempted to help me resolve the issue over the phone without charge. Once he came over he was extremely knowledgeable on the history and application of all home security systems, very efficient, and extremely thorough. This was truly one of those amazing customer service moments you occasionally can find via Yelp or the internet in general. 10/10 recommend if your stuck in a similar situation.

We have a decent sized house, and the Internet wasn't working consistently to all areas for a few years. The first tech who came out, was here for at least 6 hours and could not figure out what the problem was. The second company I hired, charged me a fee to come out and take a look. He was here for about 15-20 minutes and told me I needed to upgraded my equipment and charged me $200. He said there was something unplugged, which there wasn't. After he left the Internet was still not working properly. I found Simply Wired on Yelp, and boy am I happy camper. He came out for a free consultation, sent me a quote within a few days and a list of equipment I needed to purchase (my old equipment was a few years old and I just wanted to start new anyways). After receiving all the items, Brian came out and set it all up. My 'wire closet' or whatever it's called was so messy and full of old wiring and equipment that we couldn't even close the door. Not only can we close it now, but it looks amazing. He also used some of my old equipment to help boost the signal in certain areas. After the install, I had a couple of questions, texted him and he immediately responded. Brian is professional, reasonably priced, has great communication and smart! Don't hesitate to hire him. I only wish I found him sooner!

For my first home, the actual owner showed up for my installation. This guy was amazing! He connected my Sonos Arc and Sub in my living room and ran my wired outdoor speakers through my walls using the Sonos receiver. I was so impressed I hired them a second time. Next, Unify connected my Yamaha receiver to my second home's upstairs loft. Again, they ran the speaker wire through the walls and ran power and HDMI cables through my cabinets. I also purchased a second sub and receiver from Unify for my living room and had the tech connect my ARC, two subwoofer, game room, and outdoor speakers. These guys are true masters of their art!

This project required all day, he worked hard on it and it was more difficult than he anticipated, somewhat due to his approach. I paid him substantially more than he asked due to the difficulty and his time spent. When he left for the evening, the project was not complete, but we agreed he would return to complete the job.....But, he never did. I called him several times and attempted to schedule a follow-up to complete the work, but he could not find a date that worked for him. He stated he had other jobs to do. I am very disappointed that Joe did not compete the job or follow up with an attempt to complete it. I finally got tired of calling him to schedule. The work that was completed is substandard and I am left with the problem of getting the job done another way.
