| Countywide Detective Bureau |
| Recent Review For Countywide Detective Bureau: I contacted Countywide for an estimate on a security system for my business. A rep came out and and spoke with me about their service with all the options available to me . A system was customized for my specific needs security concerns and budget. I also found out that most security systems are connected by phone to the alarm center and if it was cut or failed it could not call out to the police, so I purchased the back up service also. The techs that came out made sure that I was completely satisfied with the installation. The total cost was significantly lower than my quote from ADT & Brinks, which provided a lower up front cost but a much higher monthly fee with a 3 year contract and I was also surprised to find out that I now own the system that was not just leasing it. The monitoring service looks to be emergency 24. |

| Recent Review For Detection Security: I almost fell for the "free" system tricks of a the big guys, but thankfully I read the contracts and in between the lines. I went with Detection Security because they're local, and I couldn't even tell they were in my house when they finished. I had one service call since the install, but it was taken care of in 24 hours. Can you believe this technician actually had the parts he needed ON THE TRUCK! I'm sorry, but years of service calls across all industries has left a bitter taste in my mouth, but Detection Security surprised me. The cost was more up front, but I own the system. Monitoring is cheaper then all the rest. And get this ...the sales guy actually refused to sell me motion detectors with my three cats in the house unless I put them in their own room while away. None of the other companies mentioned the danger of false alrms with cats, claiming that the pet immune would take care of that. Of course I agreed! But wow! Honesty? I couldn't believe it. Go with your local installer. They're run by people in your community so they have to see you in the grocery store. That's quality control! |
