I've been with Central Security for almost a year now and my experience has been great. I waited a…read morewhile to write this review, because I wanted to makes sure the customer service was just as great if I ever had an issue. I found Central Security on Yelp. Patrick answered when I called for service. It was down to Central Security and another home security company. Patrick explained everything to me and answered all of my questions. I was very appreciative of this because this was my first time owning a home security alarm system. I really love that since this would be my first time, there's no contact. I love that they believe in earning your business instead of being nice upfront and then not having to work to keep your business, because you're trapped in a contract. I signed up with Central Security and paid for my equipment upfront and my cameras. I just pay monthly for the active monitoring. One time after I was approached by another company a few momths after I been with Central Security, I called Patrick and let him know and he let me know he value my business and gave me a fair renegotiation on my monthly fee. The next month I bought another camera and has then install it. I'm also happy to report that the alarm does work I had a false alarm when I was away in away on a windy night and the wind push a an unlocked door open. The police ended showing up and the security center did call. Unfortunately I was sleeping at the time, but it was reassuring to know that the system really does work! I highly recommend Central Security. I've had excellent service, when they came to install the system they were punctual professional and fairly quick. This is the best deal in town with the fairest prices!

We spoke with several companies, both big national providers and smaller local ones, and ultimately went with Securimax. What stood out was their local presence and the hands-on approach, especially from Jack, the CEO. The installation itself was fairly involved and took most of the day, but everything was handled smoothly and professionally. Since then, their service has continued to impress. They're very responsive whenever we have questions and have been flexible in helping us adjust or expand the system as our needs evolve. Overall, it's been a really positive experience.

The panels never worked right and had a tech on several occasions and was told it was my internet that was causing the problems.

Additionally, 2 wks after cancelling their service the monitoring station called us 15 times saying they were receiving trouble signals. When I talked to the monitoring station, they said they had not received any information about the cancellation. If you are looking for an alarm company think twice about using Securimax.

It is unfortunate that I have to write this review for a security company…read more I inherited a un-monitored security system with my home purchase, which I have never used. This morning the keypad started to beep (very loudly). This was all of a sudden/while we were sleeping - so I am guessing some sort of malfunction. I called the service number but since it's Good Friday the service station was closed for the weekend. I called the monitoring station, and they informed me they have a on-call technician that can help. Here is where the trouble began - they refused to call the technician because I was not on their monthly paying plans. Just to be clear - they had a way to help me out but chose NOT to because I was not on their monthly plan. It was their system that was malfunctioning, but no - no help. They implied I should just endure the alarm all weekend - till their service station opens on Monday. If this was their response to a non-emergency situation where they had the means to help - I wonder what they will do in an actual emergency. My recommendation - pick someone else.

Neither of the alarm monitoring companies they use is able to get in contact with them either. The company is owned by a husband and wife according to their website. Looking at the wife's FB page, she shows Hard Target as a former employer, and the husband's FB page shows him moving to San Antonio. Neither of the monitoring companies show that I have an active account even though I pay monthly and have for years. I notified the company to cancel my monitoring contract, but they didn't respond to that either. I'll be notifying Law Enforcement this coming week, and anyone who is still paying this company needs to verify they actually are monitoring your alarm. I would suggest that you cancel your contract and go with a reputable company.

We did encounter some issues, however, Matt had his team work with us to correct them as we encountered them (i.e. faulty pre-wire causing false-positives on the alarm). I have to give a special shout out to Keith. He installed every single TV in the house to perfection. I was really looking forward to a beautiful flush mount install of our TVs in every room (especially the living, game, and media rooms) and he delivered. Will attach more photos of the cameras and networking closet (which was installed along with a fan).
