NYC Security Companies: What to look for when choosing a security company
There are countless security companies in New York City. So, how do you choose the right company? Target Security Systems offers some tips and advice for choosing the best NYC security company for your needs.
Advice for Selecting the Best NYC Security Company
1. Ask about services: Alarm Installation, Video Intercom, CCTV, Locksmith, etc.
Make sure to ask the NYC security or alarm system company that you are considering whether they offer a full range of security services. Security companies that provide a full-range of services tend to be able to provide you with better, more cost effective solutions. Also, if you ever need to expand your NYC alarm, security or intercom system, it is much easier to deal with the same company.
2. Ask about brands used: Honeywell, Elbex, Siedle, Mircom, DoorKing
A good question to ask NYC security companies is what brands they offer. You want to make sure they offer several reputable, high-end alarm brands.
Be wary of a company that only offers security solutions from one manufacturer. This severely limits their ability to find the best alarm or intercom system for your needs.
3. Do they have a NYC showroom?
Many people overlook this. It is definitely worth asking if the security company you are considering has a NYC showroom where you can view and try intercom and alarm systems.
Also, having a showroom shows that the company is established and is likely reputable.
4. Are they a BBB member? What is their latest grade?
Membership with the NYC Better Business Bureau is a good sign- but don’t stop there. Make sure to check the actual BBB grade of the security company. (We’re quite proud of our BBB A+ rating!)
