We had a great experience using URSA Security. We moved to a home with an existing security system using URSA and they made an easy transition for us. They provide great customer service and have been available anytime we have questions. Very responsive. Would highly recommend!

As our company has grown, URSA Security & Control has been there for us every step of the way. From beginning to end, I always know what to expect from this team: top-quality work, responsive and trustworthy employees, clear and honest quotes, excellent communication, and a genuine willingness to help find the best solution for our needs. What really sets URSA apart is that they stand behind what they sell and the work they do. They never tried to sell us something we didn't need or recommend something they wouldn't stand behind themselves. There is no playing games with pricing or trying to nickel-and-dime us—just straightforward, honest service and quality work. I really can't say enough good things about URSA and the people behind it. They've earned our business and our trust, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for a security and access control company.

Response from the owner · 2 months ago

Thank you so much for this thoughtful review! We're proud to have been part of your company's growth, and honesty, quality, and clear communication are exactly what we aim to deliver every time. We never want to sell something that isn't the right fit, so it means a lot that came through in your experience. Thank you for your trust and for recommending us — it truly means a lot to our team! — The URSA Team

As Chief of the Prospect Fire Department, I can’t say enough good things about URSA and the service they have provided to our department over the years. URSA installed and continues to manage the remote access system for our firehouse, and both the installation and ongoing service have been excellent. Recently, our firehouse took a lightning strike that damaged several electronic systems in the building, including the control board for our remote door access system. For a volunteer fire department that needs members to be able to access the station 24/7 for emergency calls, having this system down was a major issue. We made one call to URSA on a weekend, explained the situation, and they immediately understood the urgency. They had a technician at our firehouse right away and got the system repaired and back up and running. That level of responsiveness and customer service is exactly why we have continued to work with URSA for several years. When we needed them most, they were there without hesitation. Highly recommend URSA to any business, municipality, or public safety organization looking for a reliable company that stands behind its work and takes care of its customers.

Response from the owner · 2 months ago

Thank you so much for this incredible review, Keeping your firehouse's access system reliable is something we take seriously, especially knowing what's at stake for a department that needs 24/7 access. We're proud that our team could respond quickly on a weekend and get you back up and running after the lightning strike — that's exactly the level of urgency we aim for when it matters most. Thank you for trusting URSA over the years, and for this recommendation to other public safety organizations! — The URSA Team
