★★★★★Edited a year ago

Since I got Foresight security set up at my home, it’s been peace of mind all the way. Joe, Joel, Alex and the rest of the team are amazing. They helped me set up the portal so I can view so that I can monitor my home from anywhere, nice and easy. No regrets on this one. Call them now! Thank you guys!

I was incredibly reluctant to dive into the whole Home Alarm System thing because I’ve heard so many horror stories from friends. And my own research made my head spin. Felt like I was car shopping and everyone was a huckster. I came across Foresight and Mark and FINALLY got straight answers. They made it soooo easy and the price was so much lower than even all the so-called low-cost internet systems which were all over the place and were confusing as heck. I got my system because of my homeowners insurance pretty much mandated it but so glad I did. And I certainly made the right choice when it came to my provider. Can’t say enough good things about them and the whole experience.

Great service! They installed my security cameras for a very reasonable price. The job wasn’t easy since this was a two story house and they had to run cables through the attic. I highly recommend them!

In Joe's words

Situations Joe handles every week

Wanting to feel protected from a break-in without a sales runaround

Joe's stated goal is simple: clients feel secure about being protected from break-ins. Foresight is built for residential and small commercial accounts rather than corporate contracts, and a Google reviewer who had been dreading alarm shopping describes finally getting straight answers and a price lower than the low-cost internet systems.

Cameras on a two-story house or a storefront

CCTV is Foresight's specialty. Technicians run cable through attics and install HD and PTZ cameras with 24/7 recording and cloud hosting, viewable live or recorded from a phone app, with multiple locations in one dashboard.

Alarm monitoring that keeps working when the power or phone line is cut

Systems use built-in cellular connectivity, so no phone line is needed and the alarm keeps reporting during an outage. A 24/7 central station staffed by trained operators dispatches police, fire or emergency personnel, and the keypad has two-way voice to the operator.

Fire, carbon monoxide and frozen pipes, not just burglars

Whole-home monitoring covers smoke and fire detectors, carbon monoxide detection with emergency dispatch if the homeowner does not respond, and flood and temperature sensors that text an alert before a burst pipe becomes a flooded floor.

Knowing who opened the shop and when

Business systems include door sensors that feed Business Insights reports, alerts when a sensitive area such as an office is accessed, auto-arming if someone forgets, and access control. Smart thermostats and lighting schedules add energy management for restaurants, retail stores and multi-location businesses.

Homeowners insurance that requires a monitored alarm

One reviewer installed a system because the insurer effectively required it and describes the process as easy. Installation is done by Foresight's licensed technicians, who set up the portal and train the customer before leaving.
