I highly recommend Audio Pro Direct and Michael B.

Background: I had an old circa 90s wired alarm system in my single-family house. This alarm system was hard-wired to the landline phone for the purpose of making automatic outgoing calls to a monitoring station in the event that the alarm went off. I wanted to upgrade the system. I did my research using Consumer Reports and others and decided on Ring. I already had an outdoor Ring camera. Ring also has an upgrade path, allowing you to reuse existing wired sensor zones by connecting them to their retrofit kit. This was the deal-clincher, as many of my wired sensor zones are for alarm window screens -- special window screens that trigger the alarm when removed or cut.

I did a search for independent low-voltage electricians who would feel comfortable doing the retrofit and the rest of the Ring alarm installation: the base station, the motion detectors, a few new wireless sensors, and a few new glass break sensors. Mostly the retrofit, as Ring components are in fact easy to install by consumers with basic handyman and computer app skills. The retrofit was beyond my capabilities.

Surprisingly, the search (here on Yelp and on other sites) did not turn up many results. Most did not respond to my inquiries. Many/most security businesses will only deal with one or two security system vendors. Almost no one had experience with Ring.

Audio Pro Direct responded quickly. I spoke with Michael the principal and described what I needed. He had experience with Ring and the retrofit kit. I sent them a detailed list of components I needed installed. They sent me back a proposal. The whole thing was very professional, as you would expect from a contractor, from start to finish. Michael came out and got a first-hand look at the existing system.

The day of the install went very well. I should note that it is super important as the client to know how you want things done, such as where to mount/install components. Most details were discussed in advance. I communicated a few details and they did as I asked. Michael also reused the existing low-voltage wires to provide charging power to the new Ring keypads.

There were a few outstanding items that needed to be fixed (dead landline phone line and placement of a few sensors), and Michael's installer technician came back a few days later and took care of these.

Our DirecTV went out unexpectedly during the record rain of December 2021. DirecTV corporate was backed up and our family was extremely frustrated being without TV for a week. I frantically called Michael and even though he was out of town, he picked up the phone and immediately referred me to an amazing professional he works with named Scott who came by the next day to fix the problem.

Michael is responsive, polite, and truly cares about his customers and takes tremendous pride in providing the best service possible. You won't be disappointed.

I was extremely pleased with Michaels's services! He helped me get both my home, office, and construction site secured with our security cameras and assisted with rewiring my entire home to my new internet.
He made it very simple for me to understand and solved all my issues. I recommend Michael to anyone needing low voltage solutions!!

I had a serious problem with my Wifi and Michael showed up an hour after I called him. He told me what the problem was and how I could solve it and left without even charging me a thing. He has a customer for life. I will call him next time I need help because he is a thoughtful and honest guy.

I was referred to Michael and Audio Pro Direct by a friend who used him to completely automate his house. He did an amazing job so I had him come to my house to Get all my equipment up to speed. He got rid of all the spaghetti wires behind all of my equipment. He installed a brand new remote control system that works everything perfectly. Life is so simple and thanks so much. It's nice to have somebody who shows up when they're supposed to and does exactly as he discussed. Thanks so much.

Just had a major power outage December 27th and lost a lot of equipment due to a power surge. Called Audio pro and they came right out, diagnosed the problem and was up and running in a few days. Thanks again.

Highly recommend Audio Pro Direct for all your smart home and tech install needs. Mickey and his installers are professional and very helpful in explaining the process. They are efficient and committed to your satisfaction. Months after install, Mickey has always been available to stop by and help find a solution.

I saw Audio Pro Direct's van driving alongside my car on my way into work. I had been waiting on another installer to come into my office and install 4 TV's but they weren't able to make the time. At that moment, I decided to roll the dice and go with the next van I saw on the freeway. Mike's company won that bet.

They were able to come in on VERY short notice, install 4 TV's in less than a full day, and left like nothing ever happened. The installation was painless, clean and done VERY professionally. At the last minute, I told him that I needed another cable ran for power to a different location. He said ""no worries, we'll take care of it"" and got it done with ease. Mike communicates each part of the project with perfect clarity and understands exactly what you need done. His pricing beat out everyone else I had originally contacted as well. I'll definitely be using him and his company in the future for both business and home.
