Simple and Efficient

I got exactly what I was looking for, a simple and efficient installation and transaction.

I left the cost field set to $1, because the cost it not Homestars business to know. I did feel there was value for the service.

Excellent service and communication

Our alarm system in Calgary stopped working and the company we were with did not attach any urgency to fixing it. Luckily we were on a month to month contract, and so we looked in Homestars to see who else would offer quality alarm services. We are SO glad we found Dave at Reed Security. His credentials are top knotch (A+ with BBB) and very good reviews on Homestars. We have had the most excellent experience with Dave. He came the very next day, and installed a new unit with great features. The price was competitive. We also had him install new motion detectors as the old ones were poor quality and old. He answers his phone right away or calls you back in short order. Very competent and very personable. Highly recommend Dave at Reed Security for your home alarm needs.

Thanks Dave!

We have worked with Dave at Reed Security twice now to install alarm systems in our previous home and now new house. It is refreshing to deal with someone who is as knowledgeable and skilled as Dave. And most important you can trust Dave - he puts your interests first and takes pride in what he does and does not take short cuts. His customer service is amazing as well and his support does not end once the install is done. We would highly recommend Dave and Reed to anyone. We're glad we found him! Thanks Dave! Always a pleasure!

Clean and Professional Setup

Dave at Reed was very good at providing the quote for our new security system and in arranging a convenient day that fit into our moving calendar so we had a new system ready for when the furniture comes. He was really good in the house siting the various components and the finished system looks great. A big improvement over our admittedly older system in the house we are leaving. The equipment is probably not the cheapest alternative but we already have a self monitored system in another property and this monitored system looks great, blends in well and the application for you phone and keyfobs are nice. A really good install and a very personable and professional installed.

Home Security Switch Over

Changed home security service providers to Reed Security. From the beginning to the end, initial consult, system analysis, system design, quote and install the service is second to none. Knowledgeable, experienced and trustworthy! Won't tell or sell you anything you don't need. Our new system functions better and faster than previous with more and better functionality. Great people, technology and company. Recommended! Approximate cost includes all equipment services and contract.

Effective, friendly and efficient alarm service

We upgraded our existing home alarm system plus added garage security and got a number of quotes but chose Reed Security based on great service and explanations from Dave. We are very happy with the result and Dave was excellent in doing a thorough job looking at options to suit our needs and then showing how the system works. The new wall-mounted panels are great and easy to use and we like using the link to the online information to check our alarm status (like - did I remember to set the garage alarm??) and are very satisfied with the result and the ease of using the upgraded system. We are happy to recommend Reed Security and Dave to our Calgary friends.

Home alarm and video monitoring system

After getting a package priced out by Vivint in our new-build home I had concerns around the wireless system and it's "high tech" keypad for monitoring and integration. Ultimately what we were looking for was a good solid home security system that allowed for the monitoring service to be shut off or discontinued if so desired. The system that was installed was effectively a wired system which uses "invisible" door contacts and is actually as a result less visible than any of the Vivint or similar components. The installation was very well done using state of the art components (read: effective, not gimmicky), and the video monitoring side allowed for the installation of 3 high resolution cameras with night vision. The video data is stored to allow for weeks of data to be reviewed and everything in this regard sits within a personal home storage device as opposed to a cloud-based system.

The aesthetics of the package are fantastic and simple, and don't suffer from a future need for upgrading hardware/software as an entirely app-based system would. The overall look and functionality is in keeping with a modern well-built home and fits with a more contemporary style. I have referred all my friends in Calgary to Reed for their home security needs and encourage them to educate themselves on the advantages of purchasing a system that belongs to them, and doesn't expose them or leave them at the mercy of potential spikes in system operating costs.

Very very pleased!
