Custom Security and Communication Systems, Inc. is a dynamic, locally owned and operated business. Its president, Norm Bauman, began learning the business at his father�s knee, assisting his dad with alarm installation since age ten. In the early 1980�s, Norm also worked for other security companies across New York State, gathering knowledge and honing his techniques. Seeing a need for reliable installation methods and more individualized customer service, he formed his own company, Custom Security Systems, in 1984.

"I would recommend to everyone! I even called him to wish a Merry Christmas!"

At Amherst Alarm, Inc., we pride ourselves on being the best Security System company in the area. We've built an excellent reputation for customer satisfaction by providing quick estimates, a great attention to detail, and competitive pricing. Being a screened and approved professional gives you the peace of mind you need to allow us to give your home the attention it deserves. Call us today and let's get started!

"I have had a pretty negative experience with Amherst Alarm. Purchased a building that had an Amherst alarm system already installed, including smoke/fire and intrusion/motion. I signed a new contract with them to continue with the system/service. The system has since had multiple problems for which they have sent technicians to try to resolve. None of the problems were ever resolved in fact in one case they were made worse, but they insisted upon billing me hundreds of $ for the visit. The most recent problem is that I discovered that Amherst alarm was not receiving notifications from my system - the alarm goes off but they are not notified. The phone company says the line is ok. I do not know how long it was not communicating because Amherst Alarm never notified me - I set off the alarm to test it, and never received a call, that is how I discovered the problem. They said they would send out a tech to fix the problem. Great. I told them I wanted assurance that if they could not resolve the problem then they would not bill me. I had a number of conversations with one of there tech guys. He said he would ask the manager, Christine, and get back to me. I never heard from him again. So for the past 2 months, I have a system that does not communicate with Amherst Alarm, and yet I have paid for a full year of service. Two big fat thumbs down."

Home Security Systems questions, answered by experts

Home automation costs an average of $1,000, and most projects fall between $200 and $2,000. The total cost will depend largely on the level of automation you want in your home. High-tech, all-inclusive systems can cost well over $10,000 for larger homes, so most homeowners set a budget and then provide that to an expert to get the best results. You can also opt for DIY home automation technology for between $100 and $500, but the scope and interaction between products are usually limited.

False alarms happen, and they could be due to a problem you need to troubleshoot, like faulty wiring, a mistaken setting, or the system needing an update. Turn off your system by disconnecting its power supply (both the battery and transformer) and give the manufacturer a call to see what they advise. 

Installation typically takes 2-4 hours, depending on the number of components and wiring needs.

Thieves can open almost anything with enough time and the right tools, but they also prefer easy targets that are unlikely to get them caught. Forcing open gates is loud and difficult, and to be able to open one electronically requires extensive knowledge of the system, which most thieves don't have. Electric and other security gates are great deterrents because the thief will move to an easier target. If the thief is determined to enter your property, they will most likely find a different entrance point.

Professionals optimize camera placement, integrate recording systems, and ensure tamper-proof security.
