Quality work. Thanks Homesecurity1

Great work from the Homesecurity1 team.
Very knowledgeable, everything from the paper work to the installment was done in about a week for my CCTV cams.
Quality services. Hikvision Camaras, solid brand choice.

Extra Star for traveling out to my area. Despite being a fair distance from their business location.

Will definitely be the first company I go to for future security needs.
Thanks to Craig, Nathan and Daniel.

home security 1st is outstanding

Once again home security 1st delivered! This time my cctv cameras had gone down and they managed to detect the problem instantly - replaced what needed and got all cameras up and running! Professional and friendly staff - highly competent - manager
Is super approachable and understanding. Their customer service is 20 out of 10. Highly recommend! Try them! You won’t be disappointed.

Quick, friendly, resourceful and most importantly trustworthy

Had my car broken into, immediately reached out to Craig and he had his technicians out to my property within a day or two. Technicians were nice and friendly, answered all my questions, managed to sort out my alarm system even though I didn’t have the master code (even changed the master code for me) and were resourceful in fixing an older beam.

Craig’s after sales communication has also been great and didn’t try to upsell me to any new equipment. Definitely recommend them and will happily use them again.
