COMMERCIAL FIRE ALARM
CONFIDENCE YOU CAN FEEL, EVEN IN THE SILENCE

That’s when Hardstop Security’s technology is most alive, detecting what others miss, continuously monitoring for smoke, heat, and life-threatening conditions, and activating the moment danger appears. It’s the confidence of knowing your building is always protected.

I had an amazing experience working with Steve and Louis who assisted set up the sound system through the home. Their technical support was great, but what was more thrilling is they had the client service techniques to match their technical abilities. They kept me appraised throughout the process and provided all the after sales contact information for continued support. I would definitely recommend this service to any audiophile out there who needs their home hooked up to latest in audio technology. Great job Steve and Louis.

Highly recommend for an impressive home automation system. Great experience with Sales team and even better experience with Field Service Reps. Elmer does excellent work and Ryan's work are so professional and imaginative. We love the home theater, music system and all the cool features like motorized shades and scene lighting throughout the house. Did we say Ryan is exceptional!!!?

We had the opportunity and pleasure to meet with Nick Chipouras today. He did an amazing job helping us think through all our options. His knowledge and understanding of his products and solutions was exemplary. We are thrilled to continue to work with him on our new home project. I would highly recommend him and Sight & Sound to anyone.

Sight and Sound came today and installed the security system. They arrived on time (matter of fact they arrived 45 minutes early and called to let me know they were here) and completed the install quickly. Staff were courteous, well informed, and professional. They showed me where everything was connected, assisted me in navigating thet phone app, and provided me with the user manuals. Can't wait for them to return to mount our TVs.

FAQS
Can you monitor my existing fire alarm system?
Yes, when compatible. We can connect many existing commercial fire alarm systems to our 24/7 monitoring network, and we’ll recommend hardware replacements if your current setup can’t be reliably upgraded.
What types of buildings do you install fire alarm systems in?
We design and install fire alarm systems for offices, multi-family buildings, warehouses, healthcare facilities, and mixed-use properties.
Do you install addressable or conventional systems?
Both. Addressable systems are preferred for most commercial applications, but we design systems based on building size and code.
How often should my alarm system be tested?
We recommend full system testing annually. Hard Stop Security provides ongoing maintenance and testing to ensure every sensor, connection, and alert remains fully operational.
Do you handle AHJ coordination and fire alarm acceptance testing?
Yes. We coordinate directly with the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ), schedule acceptance testing, and address any inspection comments to ensure your fire alarm system is approved, documented, and ready for occupancy.
Do you provide certifications or compliance documentation?
Yes. Every system we install comes with testing records, compliance certifications, and documentation required for insurance or regulatory verification.
