"Better be safe than sorry! Couple weeks ago we realized that we were pressing our luck by not having any type of alarm or security automation system. Used Alarm Protection Group to get a standard system that sends us alerts if the doors open and we can turn lights on from our phones when we aren’t home."

"My alarm installer Conner was very easy to work with. He was on the job site on time. He explained how the system work clearly. He took the time to hide all the wires and cleaned as he go. I'm happy with his installation. We highly recommend ADT Authorized Premier Provider to anyone that needs a new alarm or security system."

"Tony Delgado was my installer and he was incredible! I hope that all your installers are held to his level of professionalism! Tony and matt cleaned up the area they used, they informed me of what they were doing through every step of the process. I would recommend Tony and matt to any of my friends and family that were looking for this kind of service! Thank you so much for sending your best!!"

"All processes are coordinated by the owner ( Marco). He is responsive, professional, expert in his field, transparent, has competitive pricing, uses the most advanced systems, and customer oriented. Marco personally makes sure all aspects of the security system (sensors/cameras/monitoring/applications) are working seamlessly before project completion. He was a pleasure to work with and his associates were top notch."

"

I have an infant at home and wanted to ensure that my home was protected while I was away.  I looked at various security providers and felt very comfortable with Alert Protective as a company

Overall the process was very simple - Alert?s sales rep Adam came to my home and listened to my security needs and recommended a system that keeps my family safe.  The sales rep was knowledgeable on the latest technology and provided a demo on arming and disarming the system via smartphone.    The installation crew showed up on time and was very helpful in instructing my wife and I on the functionality of the system.  I also went with Alert to monitor my home annually.  Again, it?s a painless process in signing a simple contract and providing payment. 

False alarms happen, even with us trying to be vigilant to keep them from happening (Naperville will fine you after a certain number).  Alert?s monitoring center was quick to call my cell phone as they had an alert that my alarm was triggered.  The monitoring women on the phone was friendly as I explained that I was the cause of the false alarm.  I also had an incident where I accidently triggered the silent panic button a few weeks after installation.  Alert notified the Naperville Police Department and they sent a unit to make sure we were okay.    It proved to me that their technology works quickly!

Lastly, I had Alert install some home audio equipment and had the same level of service and a great outcome.



Overall, a great customer service orientated company!

All went well, up and running in no time at all. It is very user friendly, you don't need a PHD to operate this system and  we feel  secure and safe knowing that we are being protected 24/7.

"With the $100 girft card, they entire system was less than $100 for many motion detectors, and window alarms. The monitoring is more than other companies, but when you factor in the cost of the equipment, it was cheaper. They are the best customer service people I have ever used. They are quick to respond, the system is so easy to use. You can arm using an app if you forgot to arm before you left. Have key chain you can use as well to arm or disarm. Would highly recommend this company."

FAQs for alarm or security system installation projects in Chicago, IL

If you terminate your security system before your contract ends, you’ll likely have to pay a cancellation fee—often a percentage of the remaining contract balance. To avoid these fees, consider choosing a brand that offers contract-free plans, like SimpliSafe or Vivint. You can also negotiate with your provider to see if they provide pro-rated cancellation fees or special exceptions.

Paying for a security system is a valuable investment because it enhances your home’s safety and deters criminal activity. With millions of property crimes each year, having robust security measures helps protect your property and might even lower your insurance premiums. It's a worthwhile investment for lasting peace of mind.

The average cost to install security cameras ranges from $125 to $3,500, depending on the amount, type, and placement. To install a complete setup of four cameras, homeowners can expect to invest an average of $1,300 for labor and equipment. Installing multiple cameras gives you comprehensive coverage of vulnerable entry points and enhances overall property security.
