I can't say better things about Tapper Security and their service technician, Nick! I called Tapper about an aged and malfunctioning sensor. Nick came out right away and diagnosed the issue. Not only was he timely, but he was very pleasant and competent. The repair was completed in two short visits since a part needed to be ordered. Everything was repaired to my satisfaction. I highly recommend Tapper for your security needs. If possible, ask for Nick to make the service call. I am certain you will not be disappointed.

So let me tell you about this terrible company I called around thought they had the best deal ( boy was a mistaken ) Paid cash for all my equipment then I signed on the dotted line . Not at one time did anybody ever say this was a three-year contract and you will be responsible for the full term so after a year realizing I didn’t use their service at all I decided well that’s a bill I didn’t need. Spoke to them on the phone several times they just told me they would sue me and send me to collections so I contacted an attorney. The attorney Informedme that the collection agency Was a bogus company and if they contact you again, report them to the Attorney General of the state So here we are six months later somehow they were able to Get it attached to my credit bureau. So now the fight begins I will keep you all informed of the progress and if there is anyone else experiencing the same situation and would like to start a class action suit against this company. I would be more than happy. To take care of all financial responsibilities to get the attorneys that we need to close this company down

Sorry to read review, but the truth is you have been disrespectful and ugly to my employees trying to do their job and that is trying to collect legitimate agreement with you, So the collection company can deal with you now
