Our founder, Lawrence Mayer, worked in the alarm industry for 10 years before starting Dependable Alarm Systems. In 1977 he decided that San Diego deserved to have an alarm company that understood family values and would serve the community with honesty, integrity and trust.<\/p>\n

Over these many years of doing business, we\u2019ve seen a lot of change.<\/p>\n

Large corporations like ADT have offered the lure of a big corporation with discount prices and the seeming security of being \u201cbig\u201d. But this approach abandoned the sense of family and familiarity that is so necessary. You have to know and trust the people that are providing your security.<\/p>\n

New flashy tech companies like Ring, SimplySafe and Amazon have offered the novelty of self-installed web-enabled systems that seem to make security easy and cheap. But this approach missed the importance of having a professional installation and 24-hour monitoring so that the solution always works. There is no peace of mind in having a self-installed system that you are unsure what to do with when it breaks.<\/p>\n

Dependable Alarm Systems has been providing 3 simple things since we started in 1977:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The best\u00a0<\/span>American Made<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>products in the industry, because peace of mind starts with quality equipment<\/li>\n
  2. An in-house team of professionally\u00a0<\/span>factory trained<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>installers because quality equipment installed improperly doesn\u2019t do you any good<\/li>\n
  3. In-house 24-hour monitoring because who you count on when an alarm is triggered matters more than anything else.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \nLawrence Mayer prided himself on the fact that his family\u2019s reputation was on the line every time he installed a new alarm system. It\u2019s three generations later and we still pride ourselves on that today<\/p>\n

    Bill<\/h4>\n

    I started with my father when I was still a teenager. Not only did I learn the ins and outs of the security industry, but I learned from my father\u2019s work ethic.…<\/span> This was instrumental in my success in our family business. Everyone at Dependable Alarm Systems works with the edict that once a job has begun, you leave it not until it\u2019s done. Be a matter great or small, you do it well or not at all.<\/span><\/pee><\/div>\n
