The Bad
- Limited Service Locations
- No Pricing Information
- No Cancellation Policy or Money-Back Guarantee
- No Listed Certifications or Awards
- Website Lacks Information in General
Scarsdale Security Systems is located in Scarsdale, New York; however, the website does not specify all of the areas the company serves, or to what extent its services are provided in each state. A partial list of primary state information is provided, and includes the following states: Alabama, Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, North Carolina, New England, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia, and Washington. Beyond the advertised installation price of $99, Scarsdale Security Systems does not include any pricing information about its technology. Customers can only receive a quote by contacting the company directly, and consulting with a Scarsdale Security professional. Scarsdale Security Systems' website does not mention anything about cancelling services, a move policy, or a money-back guarantee. Additionally, there is no contract information listed on the company's website for home security services. The company does not have any reputable certifications or awards listed on its website. All in all, the website lacks a significant amount of useful information. The only information provided is basic details about services offered. Scarsdale Security's website mentions that adding on additional equipment to the basic package will increase the cost. Customers can add mobile apps, carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, cell backup, flood sensors, and more. Equipment pricing is not provided. The company does not fully explain details on its available technology, so it is difficult to distinguish Scarsdale Security's equipment quality.
The Bottom Line
Scarsdale Security Systems has a number of services that homeowners may find helpful in monitoring their home. The company provides 24/7 monitoring services, and sends experts to install new systems. Scarsdale Security Systems does not appear to operate with a money-back guarantee, and fees and packages are not clearly outlined. And due to the lack of information provided on the company's website, we recommend looking into other, more transparent companies that provide more upfront details on the costs and content of the home security packages
