I have now worked with 1st security for both on my homes. The staff really work hard to make sure…read morethat you are totally satisfied with your install, as well as troubleshooting or addressing anything that comes up along the way. For me it's those two things that really stand out. Customer service and "it just works." In terms of customer service, it's hard to do better. The company's response time to questions is very fast. That's pretty much what you want. As for "it just works," the Alarm.Com system and equipment they are a dealer for really gives you peace of mind. It's actually secure. I could not be more pleased to work with and recommend the company.

The monitoring is essentially useless. The company will bind you in a 3-year contract…read more At the end of the contract they wont cancel it. In spite of what they told me two months before upon an inquiry I made. Instead they continued to debit my account. There is no way to stop it from your bank. Be aware of the scam and of their lies. When I cancelled with a form that I have to fill out, there was no acknowledgement. They still debited my bank account. They argued that there was a 3 days cancellation policy; this 3 months after my 3 year contract has ended. I have to yell for them to promise a refund for only 1 month. I am holding my breath. If this goes on, I will take them to court.

I strongly advise anyone considering working with Monica Escala to look elsewhere. My experience…read morewith her has been nothing short of a nightmare, and I feel obligated to share it to prevent others from going through the same. I hired Monica in December 2024 to install: 28 security cameras A sound intercom system with 18 speakers 5 access control pads integrated with the fire alarm system As for the security cameras, she agreed to install 28 after reviewing my architectural plans but only installed 16--and did so carelessly. Wires were left hanging, ceiling tiles were damaged with large holes, and I was never given access to the security system, while she retained full access and was apparently monitoring the premises without authorization. The cameras themselves were cheap, low-quality models from Amazon (under $50 each)--completely unsuitable for a commercial setting, despite charging me for a professional setup. I paid her the full contract amount for this portion, and she has yet to complete the job or give me access to recorded footage. Despite paying her half of the contract amount upfront, she never delivered or installed a single access control pad. Even worse, she had no clue how to connect them to the fire alarm system--something that should have been fundamental to her scope of work. I had to bring in my fire alarm vendor and general contractor to explain to her how to do her own job. Still, nothing got done. Regarding the sound intercom system, she was supposed to install 18 ceiling-mounted speakers. Instead, she purchased cheap desktop speakers (less than $30 each) from Amazon, dumped them on the floor, and suggested installing wall shelves to mount them near the ceiling--completely unprofessional and unusable for a public facility. Meanwhile, she continued demanding more money and delayed my entire project by over five months--from December 2024 to May 2025--causing serious disruption and financial loss. To make matters worse, she repeatedly entered the property without my knowledge or permission, even after I explicitly told her not to. She frequently asked the building's front desk for access, showing a complete lack of respect for boundaries and professionalism. Monica Escala has shown a complete lack of expertise, ethics, and professionalism. She overpromises, underdelivers, delays critical projects, uses substandard materials, and ignores basic contractual obligations. In my experience, this was nothing short of a scam.

From start to finish, they were professional, punctual, and clearly took pride in their work. What really set them apart from the other four companies I got quotes from was their attention to detail -- they not only ran all the cabling cleanly, but also repaired and painted the drywall afterward, leaving everything spotless. My home posed some challenges since there's no traditional attic access, but they found a smart solution by cutting a discreet access point and installing a clean, removable panel that looks like part of the original design. They even went above and beyond by installing a drop-down TV mount in my living room since my fireplace mantel sits too high for comfortable viewing. The entire experience exceeded expectations, and I wouldn't hesitate to hire Trebor Tech again or recommend them to anyone looking for quality network or low-voltage work.
