From Our Customers
"NT Security has been handling our corporate business security needs for years. Another business in our building referred us to them, and we were so pleased with their services that they now provide security for our entire building. We started with a standard burglary system but have since expanded into surveillance cameras, keypad door entry systems and online setup and monitoring. I can do all of the administrative work right from my desk!
It really couldn’t get any easier. Nick Tinsley is our contact and he has been great to work with. Always quick with suggestions and research, will come out the same day if I need him, and answers calls and emails any time of the day. We will continue to grow our partnership with NT Security and highly recommend them for any residential or commercial security needs."

"Nick put in our first camera system in 2009, another in 2012 and two alarm systems in 2012. He came to quote security cameras on one building and left with two additional security contracts. Another time, he came to help me set up remote access with my phone and computer and wired a phone and fax line. Every time he is here, there is always something that leads him to say, ‘Hey, I can take care of that for you?’
We are very happy with the equipment, technology and with him. He is reliable, very knowledgeable, reasonable and honest. He always completes as promised. He’s not one of those guys that gets your business and runs. He keeps in touch and checks to make sure you are satisfied that everything is in working order. I call him, text or email he gets back to me promptly, most times within minutes. He is the best."
