Why did you switch to Alarm Engineering? “Because my (then) current provider quoted me one price to update my system to cellular, then when I followed up on that price, it doubled (more than $500!)”

Berlin was crowned Budget Travel’s Coolest Small Town in America and the Smithsonian named Berlin one of the 20 Best Small Towns to Visit.
“Travel back into the past with a stroll down Main Street in Berlin, Maryland”, says The Town of Berlin’s website. “The path you walk is the same as that taken by the Assateague and Pocomoke Indians well before the colonial period. Later, the path became the Philadelphia Post Road, the main route connecting the centers of commerce to the north and west. This area was part of the Burley Plantation, a 300-acre land grant dating back to 1677.
Located just minutes from Ocean City and Assateague Island National Seashore, Berlin enjoys a superb location and offers visitors a variety of shopping and dining experiences.
Berlin has also starred in two major motion pictures. In 1998 Berlin was the location for the filming of Paramount’s Runaway Bride starring Richard Gere and Julia Roberts. In the movie Berlin became the fictional town of Hale, Maryland, Maggie’s (Julia Roberts) hometown. Main Street became a “hot” set as filming was done using many of the downtown shops, not to mention hundreds of locals as extras. Then in 2001 Berlin became “Treegap”, the fictional setting for Tuck Everlasting starring Sissy Spacek, Ben Kingsley, and William Hurt. Downtown Berlin was transported back to the turn of the century complete with dirt roads, horses and carriages, and period costumes.
The population of Berlin as of the 2000 census was 3,491 and current estimates place the population at about 4500.”

When it comes to deterring a break-in, the most effective deterrent is a professionally monitored security system with obvious signs and decals. Burglars like easy targets, and many times will just continue to the next house when they see an Alarm Engineering sign. In addition, when burglars see a neighborhood with many security system signs, they will often keep moving to an easier target. That means referring Alarm Engineering to your neighbors keeps you and them safer, plus you’ll save!
Your insurance company knows that you are less likely to experience a break-in with an Alarm Engineering home security system and less likely to submit a claim, so you may qualify for discounts. Contact your insurance agent to learn how much your homeowners insurance can be. For now, read all the reasons your insurance company wants you to have a professionally installed and monitored security system here.
Most TV and movies show burglaries happening at night but in fact, most burglaries take place in the afternoon. So, while you’re out enjoying Main Street, Stephen Decatur Park, Burley Oak Brewing Co., or the Blacksmith Bar and Restaurant, bad guys might be helping themselves.
Social media is so tempting, but burglars have been known to monitor social for targets. Be careful about posting that you’re out of town or gone for long periods of time.

He was careful, the equipment was mounted neatly & the job was left as clean as he found it. He also did a great job of explaining how to use the new features. Thanks, Steve.” – Steve in Berlin, MD
