APS Security Systems

I highly recommend this company. My technician was Jerry. He was on time, very knowledgeable and patient. I was later contacted by Aaron to see if I needed assistance or had additional questions about my security system. I couldn’t be any happier with there monthly service and HD quality. Thank you APS.

As a homeowner in the Hollywood Hills, I’m no stranger to the home security business. I’ve been through multiple incarnations of what is now the mega-​conglomerate «ADT Security.» After many years of sub-​par service, rising costs and outdated technology, I was ready for a change.
Enter APS Security. A dear friend (who knows his tech stuff) recommended me to Aaron Hoffman and APS Security Systems and, from our first meeting, I knew he was my man.
Smart, honest, low-​key, knowledgeable, collaborative, strategic (re: security needs) and very cost-​efficient. Aaron and his expert staff upgraded my aging ADT/​Edison system with the most up-​to-​date YET easy to use technology and both the installation and training for me and my family was seamless. We kept what was still working and added/​replaced what needed upgrading.
Everything about the new security system now makes sense; we can all access the new system from our smartphones and it costs 30% LESS a month than the old system.
I’m a computer-​literate professional myself so, as you can imagine, I did my homework on this one before «buying.» I can recommend Aaron Hoffman and APS Security for your home/​commercial security system needs without reservation.

Just an update. Still great and very happy with the alarm. Today I called Aaron about a motion sensor that seemed faulty and one of the APS guys were at my house with a new one within a few hours.
Great service.
Thankyou

APS should stand for «Always Professional Service». APS currently monitors several of my business locations. Aaron’s team is always on time and very clean during /​after installations. I can call Aaron anytime of the day and he will answer. I highly recommend APS for all of your alarm /​camera /​access control needs. Give APS a call you will be very happy with the results.

My wife and I bought a new home last summer that did not have an alarm installed. We shopped around and after talking to a few company’s decided to go with APS. When Aaron came out to the house he didn’t try to sell us more than we needed. He was honest with his recommendations and we have been completely satisfied with the service. Since installation, I have called them a couple of times and they always answer the phone and they never hesitate to make sure that I am happy with the system. I highly recommend APS Security Systems. A+

I can’t say enough about Aaron and the level of quality service that his company provides. I have used APS for both my business alarm and camera security systems. I’m always able to get a quick reply when I have a question regarding my camera system which what separates this company from the rest. If you are looking for professional and on time service then I would highly recommend APS Security Systems.

I don’t reviews too often, but APS deserves this 5-​star review. Aaron was nothing but helpful and professional. I was very impressed with the system installed and will recommend APS to anyone looking to upgrade their alarm or camera system. The pricing is fair and the customer service is great.

Let me start the review by saying that we have used ADT, Protection One, and other smaller companies for home monitoring/​alarm systems. They may be a tad cheaper but Aaron’s shop has been our best experience by far.
1. He can install a variety of different types of equipment and doesn’t upsell. He lets you know when something isn’t necessary. I appreciate the ability to customize.
2. His company is responsive and available. No well-​meaning (if that) but under informed and un empowered call centers.
3. You can cancel at any time. No questions. No fees. We are moving out of state so had to discontinue service but would go back to this service if we ever moved back.
Do yourself a favor. You work hard for your money so spend it well. This business is worth it.

Like the other Unilocal reviewers here, I researched different security companies and I didn’t realize how many people dislike ADT. I called Aaron and talked about the differences between APS and a company like ADT, and he seemed like he knew what he was talking about. Also it helps that APS has so many 5 star ratings on Unilocal.Aaron’s crew came by and installed everything in one day and he taught me how to use the system. I’m really happy with my decision and have piece of mind for the security of my family.

Aaron is great and his technicians are all professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. I would recommend their service to anyone. Installation was quick and everything is easy to understand and use. I am very satisfied with my experience.

The best alarm company I have EVER worked with, and I have had them all. Aaron is simply the best at helping you figure out what you need. He is a great guy and really cares about his job. Our system is high tech and easy to use. We can log in to our alarm from our phones too! I use APS for my home and business.

Aaron Hoffman and the crew at APS really took their time explaining what was needed and what wasn’t. I like the convenience of the mobile apps to secure my home and to check in from any location or distance. When looking for the best company in the Los Angeles area I came here to see the Unilocal rating first I’m happy to add my experience to the many other satisfied customers that have chosen APS for their security needs. If you want a professional that knows the business and can give you immediate peace of mind… Call APS today, you won’t be disappointed.

Another 5-​star review but these guys really are as good as their Unilocal reviews. We found them here and though it took a couple weeks to get an appointment scheduled, once we decided on the system (we decided between video and alarm) it was very quick. Aaron and his installer Ben are competent, professional, and friendly. Hard to imagine a better experience.

I had a recent installation and am very happy with the professionalism and service I received. Jerry did the installation and did such a thorough, clean job. After he completed the install, I couldn’t even tell someone had drilled a hole in my wall.
I had to leave for an appointment so Jerry didn’t get a chance to train me on the system, so his boss Aaron did it for me over the phone. Aaron was clear, concise, and gave me lots of examples of how best to use my system.
I had contemplated having TWC install my system, and I am glad I chose APS. Great service, follow through, and very professional.
Thanks, APS team!

Highly Recommended ! Great Security Systems

Aaron and his team was great, explaining the installation process and setup instructions. They were very attentive to our needs and designed and installed a system which exceeded our expectations. Would definitely do business with them again.

Unfortunately, we had to install a security system in our house because of recent neighborhood break-​ins. Did some research and found APS Security on Unilocal.It seemed like every review mentioned Aaron and the great customer service.
I called APS and sure enough talked to Aaron and set up an appointment. He came out to the house on-​time and was very professional. He allowed us to ask stupid questions without making us feel stupid. He didn’t try and sell us something we didn’t need. He got back to us with a fair estimate and the system was installed the next week. The installer was professional and clearly explained the alarm system to my wife.
The following week we experienced an electrical problem which was later diagnosed as a loose wire at a light switch on the same wall as our newly installed alarm panel.
I called an electrician to diagnose the problem and he was not going to be able to get out to check until late afternoon.
I called Aaron at APS at 8AM and explained the situation. During our phone conversation, Aaron stated that the problem probably occurred during the alarm installation.
He immediately sent his installer to our house and he fixed the problem… free of charge! I was able to cancel the electrician because APS took accountability and fixed it. Whether he was wrong or right, he fixed my problem and was professional.
It is very difficult to find GREAT customer service. APS has GREAT customer service I highly recommend APS and Aaron.

I usually don’t review many things, but had a great experience with Aaron and APS Security that really prompted me to tell you about it.
Aaron came in and took over the system that the previous company completely destroyed because it was old and needed improvement. APS security was professional and always available, Aaron went the extra mile to make sure things worked as desired and within budget.
I strongly recommend these guys, these are the type of guys you hire and bring to your office to make you look good as an administrator when things go south.

If you are looking for 5-​star service call APS! Aaron came to visit us 30 minutes after my initial call. He thoroughly reviewed our existing systems, patiently listened to my issues with present company, described a recommendation, and promptly provided a quote (by the way extremely fair and competitive pricing). He exuded professionalism and knowledge all with a calm ethical nature.
I contacted him again once we were able to rid ourselves of ADT (ZERO STARS). Within a few days he had a technician here to upgrade our systems to APS. They were able to reuse much of our existing equipment and saved us a ton of money.
I would also like to give a shout out to Ben, the technician assigned to us. He was also knowledgeable, ethical, professional, and on time. Aaron stopped by towards the end of the instal to inspect the work and complete our paperwork.
APS comes highly recommended by us!

Aaron & Co. just recently installed an alarm at my residence. I couldn’t be happier or feel more safe.
The technology is really impressive. The iPhone app with the system and its abilities are state-​of-​the-​art, and all the installed hardware keeps my house secure in a bunch of different ways.
Sidenote: The whole way through, I would come up with these weird, terrible situations involving a home invasion and every time I did, Aaron would coolly, normally answer my crazy questions.
The final point that I think is worth mentioning is that the contract I signed was only for 1 year. A lot of other companies insist you sign a 3-​year contract into their system for 36 long months (longer than a long-​ass cell contract). I feel APS and their 1-​year contract shows their confidence in their product and monitoring.
