Central Security is an Austin business that offers same service that much larger and quot;name-brandand quot; corporate competitors offer. But at a more reasonable rate. (Plus, more of your money stays local!)
The owner/installer, Russell Schmidt, was on time and on budget. I feel he did not overcharge with parts and labor. Even when newer keypads were needed, he offered to install some used ones he had on hand, free of charge. The in-home work was finished within a few hours and the system was ready. It took another day or two to work out some kinks with the internet/web access. But, it is up-and-running smoothly now. My wife an I love the web access and the smartphone app as well as e-mail notification features.
The $300 up-front costs included:
- - a new control board
- - new motion sensor (equipment and labor)
- - upgrade to wireless monitoring (it uses cellular data network)
- - also installed new keypads since old keypads did not work with new control board.
- - plus, first and last month's monitoring subscription payment
Central Security also offers a reasonable 90-day notice cancellation policy. So, I don't feel like I am being locked into a long-term contract. I like that.
