Testimonial
"When considering how to secure one of our biggest investments, our Real Estate Company, we looked for experience and knowledge in the security arena. Supporting a local family owned business is another value that we found in American Alarms. Adam Jacobs and his team knew exactly what was needed for our facility and kept us informed every step of the way. American Alarms is the right choice!"

"Conlin Properties has been working with the team at American Alarms for nearly 20 years. They are our ‘go to’ for security/fire/FOB systems because they have a great service department and that is key for all of these systems as they need to function 100% of the time. Over the years, we have worked with many companies in this area, but consider American Alarms the best. The safety of the families that live in our communities is extremely important to us and we trust American Alarms to protect them. They have never let us down."
