The Leader Blog

We mainly service Sarasota, Manatee, Charlotte, and Desoto Counties. Not sure if we service you? Give us a call!

Leader Security Systems has the fastest monitoring response times in the industry with the most reliable service. Our operators are available 24/7 to assist you over the phone with any problems or questions that you may have. If the operator is unable to troubleshoot the problem, a technician can be patched through to you at any time of the day or night. Our technicians are some of the areas best, most having over 20 years experience in the industry. The majority of the time they will be able to help you with your problem over the phone. If not, our office will call you the following business day to set up a service call. Most companies our size run 5 or 6 service trucks full time. To this day, even though we are a large company, we still only run one service truck when needed. This is what makes us the Leader in our industry.

Besides your security alarm system, we also install surveillance camera systems for your home and/or business along with different types of home automation.

We are so confident in our systems and services that our monitoring contracts are only for 1-year vs. the typical 3 to 5-year contracts that the competition requires of their customers. Our approach is simple; we like satisfied customers that refer other customers to us. That is why our attrition rate is virtually zero.

Yes, you own the system. We do not do hidden equipment leases like other companies.

The cost depends on the size of your home or business and the number of devices required. All of our systems are custom-designed to meet your specific needs, ensuring you get the most effective security solution.

Our new systems come with a one-year warranty from the installation date. If you move into a home or business with an existing system, we will inspect and replace any necessary components on a time and material basis.

Yes, you can control and view your system from our free app or from your computer via the online website.

Your system will first communicate with our central station. You will then immediately receive an SMS text with a link to where you can cancel or request dispatch. If this link is not opened within 30 seconds of your alarm going off, we make two verification phone calls before dispatching the authorities. 

Our systems communicate on our own private wireless network. We do not need your phone line or internet for your system to communicate with us.

Yes, you will be alerted if your system loses power, but it will still operate on the back-up battery, and your system will also alert you if that battery runs low.

The installation time varies depending on the size and complexity of the system. We will provide you with an estimated installation time during the consultation process.

Monitoring ensures that any suspicious activity is immediately detected and responded to, providing continuous protection for your property. Regular monitoring can also reduce the risk of false alarms.

The future of security systems includes advancements in AI, smart home integration, and more user-friendly interfaces. Staying informed about these trends can help you choose the most effective and up-to-date security solutions.

A security system includes a main panel, keypad, and alarm devices to protect doors, windows, and other entry points. Additional interior protection, such as motion detectors, can enhance the system's effectiveness. At Leader Security Systems, we emphasize a comprehensive approach that involves protecting the entire perimeter of your home, not just the main doors.
