Panic Alarm Installation

What Is a Panic Silent Hold-Up Button?

A panic silent hold-up button is a low-profile emergency device designed to let staff quietly request help during a robbery or threat—without triggering loud alarms. When activated, it immediately alerts your security monitoring center and follows a preset response protocol. In most cases, this means dispatching law enforcement quickly and discreetly, without tipping off the intruder.

What Our Clients Are Saying

					As a small business owner I cannot express how important it is to feel that you have a partner and friend when dealing with security issues and setup. Neftali and Safetight has been an absolute dream to work with. Not only do I get to support a small local business, but they are fast, responsive, efficient, professional, kind, reasonably priced and excellent communicators throughout the process. I've been working with Safetight for about two years now after having been with Bay Alarm for the previous 10+ years and the difference is staggering. The response time for monitoring is not only faster, but it also costs less. When I reach out with any questions, I get real help and they only sell me things when I actually need them. I have been able to consistently count on them to deliver exactly what I expect (and more). And since we have been burglarized on more than one occasion, sadly, I have direct knowledge of the massive difference it makes when a company has a monitoring service that responds quickly and shows up when you need them vs lagging response times and weeks out from scheduling for upgrades after an incident. Neftali clearly cares about the safety and security of his community and I can't recommend Safetight enough.

					Ismael Robles

Facilities Manager of Oakland Military Institute.

We recently had the privilege of collaborating with SafeTight Security to implement a comprehensive integrated security system across our campus, and I must say, the experience exceeded all expectations. From the initial consultation to the final installation, every step of the process was executed with the utmost professionalism, precision, and attention to detail.



The access control system they deployed is truly state-of-the-art. Its seamless integration with our existing security infrastructure has significantly enhanced our operational efficiency. Managing access for both employees and visitors has never been more streamlined or secure. The system is not only highly intuitive but also user-friendly, ensuring that our team can navigate it with ease.



One of the standout features is the mobile app, which provides real-time monitoring and control capabilities. This has been a game-changer for us, allowing me to remotely grant access, oversee entry points, and receive instant notifications whenever specific areas are accessed. The added layer of oversight and convenience has been invaluable.



Based on our exceptional experience, I wholeheartedly recommend SafeTight Security to any organization seeking a reliable, cutting-edge integrated security solution. Their expertise, commitment to quality, and customer-centric approach make them a trusted partner in safeguarding your premises.

Raina T.
					Hands down our favorite home improvement/contractor company we have worked with. Neftali is so patient and kind. Our project ran into some issues with lines that needed to be re-ran from the old cameras, etc and the team was incredibly patient and insistent on getting everything perfect for us (4K, cell phone access, tips on placement, zones, etc) even when it went quite over schedule. We also asked so many questions and have hard schedules to work around.

					How often do we get to say a company is Fabulous to work with on a big project? They have gone above and beyond with service and care installing our cameras and at a very reasonable price. I highly recommend them and am trying to get my whole HOA to switch over because they are So Much More Responsive than our current security company. They did Not try to oversell at all or do anything but fair pricing. They were super communicative and provided guidance but also let us make final decisions. Highly recommend Neftali and his team!

Michelle R.
					As a small business and how intensely our neighborhood is changing we wanted to get a security camera system to have for our business, customer and employee safety. We where very hesitant because of the cost many of these companies charge is CRAZY expensive especially during these hard economic times. When Neftali came by and introduced himself & company and explained everything they offer it sounded to good to be true especially since we where truly in need of this. We got an AMAZING quote from them very cost efficient they don't blind side you with any random charges. Installation was great they where able to come during non business hours and it was done clean, fast and efficiently. I have no complaints the system is easy to use and when we do have questions they are very quick to answer or come by. Highly recommend if your looking for any type of security systems give them a call!

					They replaced my old burglar alarm with a new one. Nef and Jesus were very courteous, friendly and professional. They accommodated my need to have the job done within 3 days of calling them. After several unfavorable experiences calling other alarm companies, it was a delight to deal with them. I would not hesitate at all to recommend SafeTight Security.

					Very professional and punctual. Quality is amazing, 4K, easy to use, can’t get any better service from these guys! After they set up our new system, they took the time out to make sure that WE were comfortable with the setup! They walked us through the whole system, and followed up a week later to make sure we were 100% satisfied.

					Hacer que SafeTight Security saliera y instalara mis cámaras de seguridad en mi casa fue la mejor decisión que tomé. Los técnicos fueron rápidos, eficientes y expertos. El sistema de cámaras de seguridad con el que fui se ve increíble y de alta calidad en mi televisor de pantalla plana. Las cámaras incluso me notifican cuando alguien entra en mi propiedad y las cámaras de seguridad tienen color las 24 horas  Tienen un excelente servicio de atención al cliente, fueron muy pacientes y pudieron localizar los mejores lugares para montar las cámaras de seguridad en mi casa.  Cuando el equipo llegó a mi casa, fueron muy respetuosos y se aseguraron de limpiar después de terminar con la instalación  Yo recomiendo mucho a SafeTight Security para todas sus necesidades de seguridad para su casa

					This is an outstanding service.



Living in an aged house, I was prepared for installers to encounter surprises with wiring and navigating the small attic crawl space when installing my security system. I hired SafeTight because they seemed the perfect fit for what I needed to install my cameras. It didn't take long to discover I had made the right choice. My first meeting was with Neptali. Before starting the project, He explained what they'd do, the duration, and the project's cost. All went as planned. He never pressured me. He and his co-worker, Jesus, were punctual, knowledgeable, and incredibly honest. During installations, as they did add-on cameras later, they were hardworking, exemplifying superior tech abilities, and worked at a constant high-competency level. They encased all cable/wiring in electric metallic tubes in inconspicuous locations, such as below eaves, etc.

It was a pleasure during business with this company. I was satisfied with all costs incurred. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to have cameras installed. Once again, they, along with their customer service, are delightfully helpful and extremely knowledgeable.
