Bay Alarm Home Security Review

There’s no one-size-fits-all package when you choose Bay Alarm security. While that says a lot about the service quality you receive, it makes it difficult to nail down a price expectation early on in the process.

Bay Alarm’s monitoring center is TMA 5 Diamond Certified for excellence since 2006.

Ongoing professional monitoring starts at $35/mo., which is average compared to other providers.

Whether you travel frequently or are constantly on-the-go locally, Bay Alarm lets you know exactly what’s happening in your home at all times. We like that you can control your home’s security using Bay Alarm’s Link mobile app to disarm your alarm, turn on smart lights and unlock smart locks. Bay Alarm also sends event notifications with the ability to see 10-second videos when events are triggered.

Bay Alarm’s Patrol and Response features are also available to assist the police in some areas to increase home and personal safety. You can have a Bay Alarm security agent pick up your mail to reduce mail theft, or request an escort home if it’s late.

Bay Alarm offers a variety of security equipment to protect your home, including smart locks and doorbell cameras. Smart locks allow you to lock and unlock your door when you’re on the go using your mobile device.

Bay Alarm security also offers doorbell cameras to see and speak to visitors at your front door. Anytime your camera detects motion, you’ll receive a mobile alert to see who’s at your door from virtually anywhere. We like that doorbell camera records and stores clips on the cloud to review footage anytime online or using your smartphone.  Bay Alarm security also offers smart home integration to control your smart thermostat, lights and locks with your alarm system for smart home security.

Bay Alarm security focuses on providing quality home security solutions. Consequently, they don’t offer DIY installation but require professional installation to make sure a technician installs your system in the right places to keep you safe. You should expect to pay a $199 fee for a professional to set up your system for you. 

We’re impressed that all of the installers are local to your area and undergo over 2,000 hours of thorough training. We like that Bay Alarm also performs background checks so you can feel confident about the people working in your home.

Bay Alarm security offers a consumer-friendly trial period. You have 90 days to try out your new system. If you’re not happy within that time frame, you’ll receive a full refund. Your security system components also come with a one-year warranty.
