I had an outstanding experience with guardian installer Griff. Griff showed up on time, communicated clearly, and walked me through every step of the set up. Griff is knowledgeable, friendly, respectful and was patient with all my questions. Everything was installed neatly and tested thoroughly before he left. I feel confident and secure knowing the system was done right. I highly recommend Griff and guardian alarm. Griff is truly an asset to guardian alarm.

Writing for Paws and Whiskers Cat Shelter. Rudy was an excellent tech who made sure all of our cameras were right where they needed to be. He talked us through the process of installation of our new cameras, then also made sure we understood the app. I highly recommend Guardian and highly recommend Rudy to be your technician.
