Leo came to our site Extraspace Storage to fix our EnGenius phone. He was very courteous, professional and explained all the work that was being done. He answered all of our questions and concerns. He even tested the phone before he left. Great Tech support and company... read more

I can't say enough good things about this company, and it's owner Eyal. One of the best companies I've dealt with. Super responsive to calls/emails. And will bend over backward to make sure you're happy and satisfied. I needed a security camera system put in a 3 story building. Interior and exterior. Was kind of expecting it to be a difficult experience, so I kept putting it off. Finally looked up companies on Yelp and came across Protection Now. All the other reviewers are absolutely right. The owner Eyal picked up the phone immediately, and met me at the property the next day. He clearly knows his stuff, and quickly came up with a plan to get me exactly the system I needed, and for a price that was more than fair. Ended up being a pretty complicated install since I wanted the wires hidden, but they made it happen. The camera system works flawlessly, and the results are way beyond any expectation I had. Incredibly professional job. And best of all, I know if I have a problem down the road, they'll be there to help me sort out any issues. Which is pretty rare these days. Can't recommend them enough. If you need a system put it. Definitely give them a call. read more

Eyal is very attentive and you better be ready for him. He's not messing around. He came out and surveyed my property and made some recommendations and was ready to begin installation the next day. He's professional and courteous. Legit operation. read more

Protection Now put security cameras in our condominium building. It was a small job with only four cameras, but we were treated royally. The installation was beautifully done and the tech spent a good deal of time doing instruction as to how to retrieve data off the system. Also, I found the price quote to be highly competitive and fair with regards to the industry. I would recommend Protection Now without reservation read more

I called to ask about making a modification to my alarm setup, but have not been their customer in the past. They were so helpful! Showed me how to find the information I needed on the Internet and offered a solution that would significantly reduce my cost. I will be bringing them all my home security business. read more

Brett P, great company, they came to my house and did a great job repairing my two cameras. I would recommend anybody to use their services .i will be personally telling all my friends to contact protection now if needed. read more

Following a scary incident while away on vacation, I did some research on security camera companies and am very glad that I hired Protection Now. Eyal did an outstanding job representing his company during our conversations, which didn't feel at all like he was only there to sell me something. I made informed decisions and now have a high quality camera system, delivered at an excellent value. Eyal stayed in excellent communication during his team's highly professional and tidy installation. Everyone was a pleasure to have around, and I wish all businesses were run as well. I feel much better being able to quickly and clearly see if there's anything odd going on outside, I highly recommend Protection Now to anyone looking for ways to strengthen their safety and security, and am especially glad to give my money to a local business. read more

We used protection now to set up a security camera system in our neighborhood and it worked out great. Eyal was responsive and attentive - delivered with customer service that exceeded expectations. Highly recommend. read more

Just called this place to get a quote. I'm planning to buy security cameras from Home Depot, and need someone to install them for me. This place wouldn't do Home Depot products, they only install their products. Fine. So I wanted to know what they sell, but I didn't even get a chance to ask that. He said they were too busy to do it. If he said it nicely, I would understand. But he was SUPER RUDE, and sounded like I was disturbing him. With all good reviews I saw on Yelp, it's totally wasted. read more

I have been using Protection NOW, for both home alarm, and video security for over 10 years. There help with upgrades has been excellent, and well as problem solving to customize installations for my particular house. All of the staff and owner have been polite, friendly and very responsive. A+++ read more

My alarm of 14 years finally gave up and we had to replace the main circuit boards ( we can smell the burning when plugged in). As we called around, it seemed that most alarm installers wanted to completely replace the unit *and* use their monitoring service. We've never used a service and didn't have much interest. After much searching and phone calls, we settled on these folks and couldn't be much happier. I had 2 other estimates one which wanted to replace the unit with another brand, and was told that in order to check all the sensors would take at least 16 hours of work. Another wouldn't even talk unless I agreed to their monitoring service. The Protection Now folks gave me a very reasonable quote,and promptly showed up the next day to do the work. They replaced only the broken parts an didn't try (too hard) to up sell me on more services. We have 4 control pads, but again,they only replaced 1 as needed, and didn't make me pay for unneeded parts. There were some hiccups that needed additional work, so the installer had to come back the next day to finish the job. But all in all, they kept us informed the entire way, and was very professional in their work. No surprises and the entire process was as painless as possible. Lastly, their prices are very reasonable; we're extremely pleased with their work. read more

I manage a few caffe's and properties in Berkeley and Oakland and have worked with Protection Now for the last few years. Eyal and Leo are professional, reliable, honest, talented and a pleasure to work with. Alarm system, camera system and a variety of other IT related projects, they have done it all for us and we will be using them for all our future needs. read more

Previously, we tried internet ordering and several other companies with poor results. Poor communication, wrong equipment, overly complex programming, little benefit. Finally, over 2016, we had Eyal install CCTV systems at our four apartment complexes in Oakland. Finally, we were able to take advantage of this technology without needing advanced programming staff on site. This is an enormous step forward for us. Worth every penny. Repairs, upgrades, adjustments were all made conscientiously and effectively. Highly recommended! Take the time to think through carefully what you need and where to install it so you get the maximum benefit. You will be delighted. read more

My HOA was considering adding security cameras to our street and I called Protection Now based on the great Yelp reviews. Eyal stopped by the SAME DAY to look at the property and discuss possible options with me. He was extremely informative and friendly. He sent me a proposal a couple days later and it was the lowest cost estimate we had received! Based on this experience, I highly recommend Eyal and Protection Now. read more

If you want the best customer service, look no further than Protection Now. Eyal personally ensures he meets with his customers and provides on-going support no matter what time of day/night. I know if I have a problem with one of the sensors or that my system encounters some issue (usually because of my own fault), I will get 2 phone calls, one from the dispatcher and another from Eyal himself just to check up on me. I cannot recommend this company enough. Outstanding trust, fairness, security professionals that go the extra mile. read more

Absolutely TOP NOTCH! Eyal and his staff were incredible. They installed a system in an Oakland Fire Department group of buildings and we couldn't be happier. Professional, courteous, responsible, and reliable, 5 stars across the board. The crews were so clean and organized that we hardly knew they were present during the 4 days of installation. Hope to do more work with Protection Now in the future, don't hesitate to call them! read more

I called Eyal (owner) to have cameras installed in my business this morning. He got back to me in minutes, and came by to provide an estimate in under an hour. We didn't even bother shopping around because he was so knowledgeable, personable, and understood our specific needs (financial industry). He made product recommendations that were both affordable and high quality, and provided a 2-year warranty on parts and installation. They were able to start the work the next day and finished quickly while we continued to go about our business. The installation looks beautiful and system works perfectly - I would definitely recommend Eyal and Protection Now to my friends and associates. read more

I've used Protection Now at three of my properties both to add cameras and install new systems. I have found them to be professional and to stand behind their products. They've utilized technology to work around long distances providing a less expensive solution, where other companies just wanted to hardwire everything at a much greater cost. I always call Protection Now for new security camera systems. They are affordable, courteous and take the time to really explain the system and help me understand the system. I know that I can count on them and I trust them. read more

This is a very good company, their customer service is fantastic. I had a break in recently which motivated me to add an alarm system. They were referred to me by another friend. The representative came to my house and made a special trip to get my system installed. They even came back to do some follow up adjustments, just to make sure I was satisfied. I highly recommend them. read more

Very prompt in response, reliable and helpful service and way more affordable than other security providers.

We had a few incidents at our apartment complex that warranted additional surveillance for the protection of our tenants and our property. I called a few places but decided to go with Protection Now as they were very knowledgable, they had great products at a more competitive price and were flexible in their scheduling. I called on a Wednesday, met with Eyal on Thursday and installation began on Friday. The installation was perfect and the mobile phone surveillance capabilities has given me peace of mind. I have also been thanked by two tenants for increasing security so they can also rest easier. Oh and they offer a two year warranty so you don't have to worry if you have any issues. Couldn't recommend them enough. read more

Eyal installed alarm system and cameras in our business. He is a really good listener, didn't try to up-sale anything and was punctual and fast. His approach is to support people in making them feel more secure and he understands that it is not just the equipment that does it. Overall a pleasure to make business with. read more

Had them install my Costco-bought Lorex security cameras around my home (seven of them). I'm pretty particular but they did a great job meeting most of my expectations. They taught me how to use my system too. Also had them lay out Cat5 lines and relocate my alarm siren. The last day should have taken an hour but the installer drilled through a water pipe. When Al heard about it he was on it and found a plumber to re-weld a new piece. I was without water for most of the day and had to cancel my afternoon plans for the plumbing completion but Al worked with me and didn't charge the last day. He's a good man and his crew are also friendly and awesome! read more

New hard-wired alarm system is working great. They are responsive and experienced. Eyal and Avi called me back on Thanksgiving day to resolve an alarm programming issue. Note that the Yelp quote request didn't work (went to their spam folder?), so I had to follow up with a call to Eyal. read more

I wasn't happy with the service & prices quoted by the larger security alarm companies, Bay Alarm and ADT, so decided I wanted to work with a local business. Protection Now provides great service at good prices--friendly, reliable, experienced, quick. And best of all, I feel safe! Protection Now's system worked perfectly when I was burgled recently. They responded immediately and nothing was stolen or damaged. I highly recommend Protection Now. read more

This company was a true pleasure to work with. We had a camera system installed at our place of business in Oakland. Both the owner, Eyal and the technician, Leo, were very accommodating to our schedule and our customers. They were courteous, professional and worked quickly. Leo listened and patiently answered every question we had about the technology and the installation process.They were easily accessible for questions even after the project was complete. I would highly recommend Protection Now for any security camera needs! read more

I called Protection Now at 6:30 pm after business hours because my alarm pad was not functioning. Eyal, the owner called me back that same evening. He had his technician at my home the next morning to help diagnose the problem at no charge. His technician, Jeff was very professional, knowledgeable, and courteous and explained to me what probably occurred, and reset my alarm system. The level of customer service this company provides is exceptional. Protection Now is full service, will install security cameras, motions sensors, whatever your needs are. If you want quality, look no further, this is the company to choose for your security system. read more

Eyal and Ernesto quickly came to our rescue this morning when one of our staff had knocked the cover off of our alarm panel. Their service was friendly and efficient. We can recommend them highly enough! read more

Although I was hesitant at first -- the name reminds of a Seinfeld episode (Serenity Now!) -- they have been great. I've been working with them for 2+ years, with no problems & excellent service. They've been quick to respond to any questions or concerns. I definitely recommend them (why not go with a small local company rather than a huge company that everyone hates)! read more

Had them install security camera and alarm at my place of business, all paid for in full in cash upfront. When the day came where I canceled alarm monitoring they said would not cancel, instead they came and took my cameras and alarms system when I wasn't there. My employee didn't know because they threatened to sue. Not recommended. 0 stars if I could. read more

Very happy with our alarm system and monitoring service from Protection Now. During the initial visit to develop the price quote, they were prompt, courteous, and explained our options. Rather than try to sell us all new hardware, they worked with our existing hardware and supplemented a few items. They have excellent customer service now that the system is installed, walking me through a few questions. The pricing is very competitive. I would highly recommend. read more

Eyal, the owner, is very professional, customer oriented, and cost conscious. he went out of his way to work with our very quick timeline. His service has been stellar. I strongly recommend this company. read more

You wouldn't normally look to a security alarm service to have exceptional service, but Protection Now is incredible. The few times I've had to call -- usually, to adjust my settings because the cat is setting off the alarm by accident or to replace an old battery in the unit - Al and the others know who I am, know my history, and deal with the issue extraordinarily quickly and respectfully. This morning I noticed that the sign we have posted on our property was damaged by high winds... Al said he'd bring a new one by tomorrow at no extra charge. Highly recommended. read more

This is a good company! Professional, fair, trust worthy. I have been with them for several years. I also had them install security cameras 2 years ago and just recently had them upgrade the cameras to a HD system. Reasonable rates, knowledgeable. and careful. This year I plan to also have them upgrade the alarm system to a smart system, so I can control lights, door locks, thermostats, etc. I live in Antioch so they are good to go for the entire east bay. read more

They did a great job! My house is difficult but they managed to run cameras all around the outside of my house and make it look good. My wife and I are very happy with the work and will hire them again next time. read more

I was grateful to find "Protection Now" to install my Security Cameras. Eyal and his assistant Avi have proven skills of high levels of professional standards.

Eyal and his team are friendly, helpful and responsive. I appreciate that he took the time to discuss options and did not try to oversell me things. read more

I'm very pleased with my security service from Protection Now! They had my service up and running within 24 hours! The service technician was very knowledgeable about the equipment and easily trained me on how to use it. Love the keyless entry! Installation was efficiently done and they kept the area clean and free of debris. Their customer service has been prompt and friendly! I highly recommend this security service for the excellent service and personal attention I receive. I feel like a real customer, not just a number! read more

This is a rating worthy of Protection Now , its owner Eyal and workers like Leo. The company actually returns calls, is clean, efficient and most of all very reasonably priced. We have a great security and monitoring system thanks to Eyal's suggestions and follow thru. He is the perfect gentleman . It is a good feeling to know our home is protected by a local company that truly cares about its customers. Hats off to this exemplary business and a happy 2016. read more

I wanted a local company to install a security system in my home. The people at Protection Now were prompt, professional and the installation was pristine. The cameras are amazing and when I had a question about a month later, they came out and took care of it. Very happy with this company, local and personalized service is important to me and they exceeded expectations. read more
