They were great for us. We don’t use them for home security. They were great for us. We don’t use them for home security. It’s on-going because they spray our house like monthly or whatever. I think we pay $60. They’re services are pretty good. They’re service is nice. We are still using them.

I've had this system since 2/2015 and I'm counting down the months until the three-year contract that I stupidly signed is up. I will be switching immediately when there is no contract. I was tempted to go lower than a C in the grading because I'm that unhappy with this service but I need to be fair. On the plus side, the owner is very nice. I like the fact that it's a local company. And the carbon monoxide alarm works well. That's about all I can think of that is positive. After 2+ years of issues, I really only ever set the alarm for show. Here are the specific reasons I'm so unhappy: 1) So many false alarms I stopped keeping track after 10; 2) a disabled glass break that I paid for but then have disabled because any time my dog barked it went off; 3) An unreliable battery that is supposed to last for years but that instead needed replacing, only problem it is in a locked box in my very own house but to which I don't have the key; 4) bad sensors, windows can be closed but still show as open except for one window that I can leave open and still set the alarm (I figured out to my detriment just last night that it takes about 5 hours and being in a deep sleep for the system to realize the window is open); 5) slow phone call response times (for example last night I got the call 7 minutes after the alarm and too late to let the police know they were not needed); 6) a remote control that worked for about a day and then went into a drawer because it was already enough trouble just to get the device; 7) unreliable, I hold my breath when I travel because I'm not there to handle the false alarms that invariably happen when I am more than five minutes away from home. I instruct various house sitters and dog walkers not to bother with the alarm because it sends false alarms that I can't deal with. There are other small things but I will stop here. I will say it's entirely possible that I am an outlier and just got a bad system. Whatever the case, I am very unhappy with this service, wishing vehemently that I didn't sign a contract, and am awaiting the day when I can get a different system and service.

"I appreciate the honest review and am very sorry that we have had issues with your alarm system. I can assure you that this is not normally the case. I am also hoping that we were able to solve the problems with free service call we performed yesterday. Please let me know if you have any continuing issues. I understand that you may have already made up your mind to switch companies but I am hoping we can provide you with smooth service for the remaining months of your service with us. Thanks again for the honest and detailed review. I very much appreciate your feedback. Sincerely - Jeff Monson 480-835-6001"

Bulwark is great.  We had one hardware problem in five years, and they responded quickly and made the repair.  About twice a year, we set off the alarm by accident.  Every time, the Bulwark alarm monitoring location contacted us in under 30 seconds.  If great service at a very competitive price is important, Bulwark is the firm to consider.

"We have had a couple of customers with attempted break-ins this month. Fortunately, in each case, the intruders left as soon as the alarm sounded and nothing was taken. If you think this problem will continue in your neighborhood you might consider adding a camera system. We offer those as well. Please let us know if there is anything further we can do to help. Thanks - Jeff (480)835-6001"

Very prompt and personalized service. Jeff came to our home, listened carefully to our needs and concerns, and designed a security system to address them. We had previously had a do-it-yourself system which cost $700 for half the coverage Jeff offered at the same cost. The system was such a great deal that we added on the smoke and carbon monoxide monitoring. It's worth noting that Jeff never "sold" us anything. He just explained options and costs. We never felt pressured, upsold, or scared, even a little. Very upstanding guy--which is so important, because you need to be able to trust the people who are protecting your house. The system was quickly and professionally installed (unlike our previous DIY system, which was bulky and occasionally the little stickers they provided failed and pieces fell off the wall). We love the cell-phone based monitoring service and the system is very easy to use. A great experience.

"Thanks so much for the review! I am glad to hear we were able professionally to install better equipment at a better price than our competitors in the do-it-yourself market. I think people mistakenly suppose that the do-it-yourself systems will be cheaper - but that is often not the case. For those who are considering a do-it-yourself system please give us a call first. We install professional-grade equipment at often cheaper pricing. And you will save yourself about 8 hours of trying to figure out how to install their do-it-yourself systems. Plus, when you go with us you have the assurance that the correct equipment was installed and that it was installed correctly. Please feel free to call me with any questions you might have - Jeff (480)835-6001"

I called about the deal on Angie's List before purchasing. Jeff came out the next day to determine what, if anything, could be salvaged from the ADT system installed by a previous owner of my new house. I was able to salvage several pieces. An installation appointment was set. I'm really happy with the price and that I can reuse some of what's there. The monthly pricing falls in between a cheaper SimpliSafe and the pricier ADT. Bulwark has different options as far as terms, contracts and monthly fees go. I picked Bulwark because the Jeff didn't try to scare me into buying. He stated the facts and let me decide. I think I'm going to be happy with my service.

"Thank you so much for the feedback! Whenever possible I try to meet with each client to discuss their individual needs and design a security system that meets those specific needs. This ensures that you get exactly what you need and helps ensure that you will be satisfied with the end result. I don't try to sell things that are not needed. At the same time, I am careful not to undersell. The last thing you want is a security system that does not protect your home. Thank you for choosing Bulwark and please feel free to contact me if you need anything. -Jeff (480)835-6001"

Jeff Monson couldn't have been better to work with!  The fix was more intricate than initially thought, but he worked personally and patiently with us through the problem, updating the firmware on our DVR, upgrading the power cord to the unit, and replacing the hard drive. These services were by-and-large covered under warranty, so there was essentially no added cost to us.  Bottom line:  Jeff and Bulwark stood behind their products and services well after installation, showing an admirable dedication to the customer's long term experience.  Installation of a new, or upgrading an existing security system is a major decision of its own, but knowing that a company will stand behind what they sell you is priceless.

 Jeff Monson Is great to work with he was on time for the meeting, to see what I wanted and give me a price. He didn't try to sell me more that I needed. But was more concerned with getting ordered what I needed, to have the home secured.
 Jeff asked me what time his Technician could start on the date we had picked I said any time, he asked if 7:00 am was ok I said yes.
The day befor Jeff called and asked if was ok if the Technician could come at 7:30 that he had to pick up some of the equipment from the office. I said sure. I think this is great customer service. Jeff is easy to get in contact with to answer questions.
 The Technician was great all so. He know what he was doing. He put in wire to most of the sensors and contacs so we have just a few wireless ones, where he couldn't get to. He was also good in teaching me how to use the System.
 I wish my Apple Iphone was as easy to get working on the system, but that was me and the Iphone not Bulwark
 Thanks Jeff

"Thank you for the feedback. Yes, we confirmed that your alarm system is working properly. Please note that you will not receive a call from the alarm center if you shut off your alarm within 20 seconds. This feature is in place to help prevent false alarms and avoid unnecessary dispatch of the police. If you want to remove that feature we can do it, however removing that feature increases the likely-hood of false alarms and could result in fines from the police department. Please feel free to call the office if you ever have questions or concerns about your alarm system. We are here to make sure you are 100% satisfied with your service. 480-835-6001"
