"In a perfect world, we want every review of our business to be positive. When you've been in business for 32 years and have thousands of customers, this just isn't realistic. While we disagree with the statement above, it would be unprofessional to share the details of a customer's account in this forum. The awesome thing about Angie's List is they give you the opportunity to read ALL of our reviews so you can see how much our customer's truly love us. We look forward to adding your positive review in the near future! -Dan Renn, Vice President of Sales Omega Security Systems, Inc. since 1986"
"It was a pleasure working with you and your family. Thanks again for your business and continued referrals"
The camera system was installed in the timeframe outlined (2 days). Installers were friendly, very neat focused, hard-working and most important, they were very competent. When we called to have one small thing changed, they came out within the week. The cameras have been working great over the last three months and the equipment they use seems to be of very good quality.
The price was very fair relative to other estimates we received. There were 2 estimates that were much higher for comparable scope of work. Overall we are very pleased!

One of the primary reasons was the individualized attention. Dan came to our home and spent time going through our house, making recommendations and thoroughly explaining everything. We felt confident that we were getting exactly what we needed. With the national company, everything was done over the phone/on-line - it was over within 15 minutes (whereas Dan spent at least an hour going through our home). We didn't like that the national company's recommendations for what equipment to install was only based on what we told them about our house. For example, Dan recommended 2 glass break sensors for our downstairs, whereas the national company only recommended one; this was based on the national company not being able to see the actual size and layout of our home and we probably gave them inaccurate information (we're not security experts, after all). Also, he recommended window sensors for 2 windows upstairs, which would be easily accessible via the roof over our garage; the national company asked nothing about our upstairs.
The national company also employed some high pressure sales tactics, calling and emailing at least 3 times after the initial phone conversation. There was no such experience with Omega.
While the installation by Omega was about 3 times as much as we were quoted by the national company (although we did get more equipment via Omega, so that played a role to some degree), in the long run, we will save money. Omega has a package where you pay more up front for the installation, but then the monthly monitoring cost is only $20. And that price never changes! Dan told us they have long-time customers that still only pay like $11 per month. So after about 2 years, we will make up the increased initial cost and then really start saving money (quote from national company was $45-50 per month for monitoring). Also, Omega provides a longer warranty for their products, which could also save money, if equipment problems arise.
Installation went great. We had a nice man come over and install everything. Omega supposedly uses their own people, not subcontractors, which is comforting.
Overall, we are very happy with everything and would highly recommend this company.
On the day of installation, Dan himself came out with 2 technicians and they spent the day installing everything. We had a problem with one of the sensors and they sent someone out right away and they solved the problem. We have accidentally set off the alarm a few times and they responded within 15 seconds!
On Monday during Hurricane Sandy, I started to wonder about the power going out and how that would affect the alarm system. I emailed Dan with the questions and even during that crazy day, I had an answer back within 10 minutes...now THAT'S service. I would highly recommend their company!!!
"We make no excuses for the review above. The customer requested flood lights installed on his house which is more the work of an electrician. As a traditional security systems company we only deal with low voltage. So, we recommended an electrician who we HAD a great working relationship with. We no longer refer his services. Fortunately for us, the customer was very happy with the security system we installed and we thank him for his business."
Installer wasn ontime, along with Dan.the owners. I am very pleased with the owner and his integrity regarding the products and services the company provides. Omega is able to completely customize the system to suit any and all needs. Mpost bigger companies just sell you a package deal with less equipment and options. So far, a very positive experience with Omega.
