"Andrew Brown from Alarm Protection Group facilitated the installation of our home security system. He was a very helpful and informative, and was not pushy, as with other ADT sales reps. He followed up with us after the system was installed to see if we had any questions or concerns re the system. I highly recommend Andrew to anyone who is interested in a home security system."

"Just purchased my new alarm system from Protect Your Home and had one of the best customer service experiences ever. Branden Tomas is awesome! He is very knowledgeable, polite and enthusiastic about his job and the company he works for. I like the fact that he doesn't try to over sale what you need for your house. He called to remind me about my installation appointment, he showed up at the time of the appointment to see how the install was going and also followed up a few days later to see if there were any questions or concerns. Hector, the installer was also great. He walked me thru the whole process and did a great job on the install. After completion he spent plenty of time going over the system and even left me his cell number. If you need a security system I highly recommend these two gentlemen. First rate and professional start to finish."

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."

"Alert was terrific.  We bought a home, and I asked Tony to come out and do an evaluation of the existing security system and make recommendations on any upgrades/updates.  It turned out that Alert had installed the original system.  He came promptly at my request, did a thorough inspection, and provided a detailed estimate.  He also provided an alternative new system quote, but explained that we really didn't need a new system because the existing one was fairly new and a reliable "workhorse."  We scheduled the visit for the tech to come out.  Duke, the technician, was great.  He worked diligently and -- despite an initial hiccup -- got it all set up.  We have had a few mistaken "false alarms" and the monitoring service has called us immediately on our phones to check in.  This was exactly what we were looking for, and we got it.

"The first installer did not do it correctly and it would not work. The second man was much more competent. As of now, I am waiting for another service call because the touch pad will not allow me to set the alarm. It reads that a door is open, and it is closed."

"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.
