    20 years+ effective and efficient service.

    Posted 25 November 2025

    I have been an Ambush Security Systems customer for over 20 years. Throughout that period they have always provided efficient and effective service, for which I am very grateful. Just recently I decided to upgrade my alarm system to include my garage/outbuilding and to install CCTV cameras. Ambush were able to give me a appointment that was relatively soon and when they attended carried out all the work required with the minimum of fuss.
