Security System Repair in Atlanta, GA

Get Your Free Security Quote

Trusted Since 2004.

A beeping panel at 3 a.m., a camera that shows “offline,” a door sensor that trips every time the AC kicks on, a system the original installer no longer supports. J&J Security Systems repairs and services security systems across Metro Atlanta, including systems we didn’t install. Our technicians work on Qolsys, Honeywell, DSC, 2GIG, Interlogix/GE, ADT, Vivint and most camera brands, and we carry common parts on the truck so most repairs are finished in one visit.

Common calls we handle: low-battery and trouble beeps, panels that won’t arm, sensors reporting open or tamper, false alarms, camera feeds that drop or record nothing at night, DVR and NVR failures, door strikes that stop releasing, and systems that lost monitoring when a 3G or landline communicator was retired. If your equipment is past saving, we’ll say so and quote a takeover that reuses your wiring and any compatible sensors with a new Qolsys IQ4 panel.

We’ve serviced Atlanta homes and businesses from our Snellville office since 2004, with an A+ BBB rating and 640+ five-star Google reviews. Request a service visit or call (770) 771-5502.

Process

How It Works

Describe the problem, get a diagnosis and a flat price, and have it fixed, usually in one visit.

Free Consultation

We walk your home, listen to what you want to control and automate, and map out the devices that fit how you actually live.

01

Custom System Design

We design a system around your home, not a generic package, choosing the right mix of alarms, cameras, and automation for your budget.

02

Professional Installation

Our local technicians handle mounting, wiring, and testing in a single visit, then walk you through everything before we leave.

03

Ongoing Monitoring & Support

Once installed, your system is backed by around-the-clock monitoring and a local team that answers when you call.

04

What We Repair

Alarm panels, sensors, cameras, recorders and access control, whoever installed them

Alarm Panels & Keypads

Trouble and low-battery beeps, panels that won’t arm or disarm, dead keypads, communicator upgrades from 3G and landline to LTE, and full panel replacement.

Door, Window & Motion Sensors

Sensors reporting open, tamper or supervision loss, false alarms from drafts and pets, battery and magnet replacement, and rewiring of failed wired zones.

Security Cameras & Recorders

Cameras offline or dark at night, blurry or fogged lenses, NVR and DVR hard-drive failures, remote viewing that stopped working and cable or power repairs.

Access Control & Locks

Readers not reading, strikes and maglocks that won’t release or hold, smart locks dropping off the network and credential and schedule problems.

System Takeovers & Upgrades

When a repair isn’t worth it, we reuse your wiring and compatible sensors and move you to a Qolsys IQ4 panel with the Alarm.com app and 24/7 monitoring.

Pricing

We quote repairs before the work starts, and the diagnostic fee is applied toward the repair. Typical Atlanta pricing:

  • Diagnostic service visit: $89–$149, credited toward any repair we perform the same day
  • Sensor replacement: $40–$120 per device installed
  • Panel or keypad replacement: $250–$600 depending on the system
  • Communicator upgrade (3G/landline to LTE): $150–$300
  • Camera repair or replacement: $100–$350 per camera; NVR hard-drive replacement $150–$400
  • Takeover to a new IQ4 panel: often little or no equipment cost with a monitoring plan from $49.99/month

Existing J&J customers with active monitoring receive priority scheduling and discounted service rates.

Repair vs. Replace

Repair makes sense when the panel is under about ten years old, still supported by its manufacturer, and the problem is a single failed part: a sensor, a battery, a camera, a power supply. Most of our service calls fall here and are done in one visit.

Replace or take over when the panel uses a retired 3G or landline communicator (monitoring can’t work), when the manufacturer no longer makes parts, when several sensors fail at once, or when you want features the old system can’t do: app control, video verification, smart locks. A takeover keeps your wiring and compatible sensors, so it costs far less than a from-scratch install.

Either way you get a plain answer and a written price. If the honest recommendation is a $60 battery, that is what we’ll tell you. Explore home security systems and commercial security systems to see what a modern system includes.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you repair security systems you didn’t install?

Yes. We service Qolsys, Honeywell, DSC, 2GIG, Interlogix/GE, ADT, Vivint and most camera and NVR brands. If parts are no longer available we’ll tell you and quote a takeover.

How much does a service call cost?

Diagnostic visits run $89–$149 and are credited toward the repair if we fix it the same day. Sensor replacements are $40–$120, panel replacements $250–$600, and communicator upgrades $150–$300.

Why is my alarm panel beeping?

Most often a low panel or sensor battery, a lost communication path (common after a 3G or phone-line shutoff), or a sensor reporting trouble. Silence it from the keypad, note the message, and call us; many beeps are fixed in one visit.

My security cameras show offline. Can you fix them?

Usually. Offline cameras are commonly caused by failed power supplies, damaged cable, a full or failed recorder hard drive, or a router change. We diagnose on site and repair or replace what is needed.

Can you take over my ADT or Vivint system?

In most cases, yes. We reuse your existing wiring and compatible sensors, install a Qolsys IQ4 panel and move monitoring to our center, typically for much less than a new system.

How fast can you come out?

Service calls in Gwinnett and eastern DeKalb are often same- or next-day from our Snellville office; the rest of Metro Atlanta is usually within two to three business days. Active monitoring customers get priority.

Do you offer maintenance plans?

Yes. Annual inspection and testing plans cover battery replacement, sensor testing, camera cleaning and firmware updates, with discounted repair rates in between.

Can you upgrade my old system to work with a phone app?

Yes. Adding an LTE communicator or moving to an IQ4 panel gives you the Alarm.com app for arming, alerts, camera viewing and smart home control, while keeping most of your existing sensors.
