Keeping Cambridge Businesses
Safe And Secure

At Black Lab Alarm, we understand that Cambridge businesses and construction projects face evolving security challenges that require more than basic protection.

From theft and unauthorized access to fire risks and property damage, even small security vulnerabilities can impact operations, disrupt productivity, and put valuable assets at risk.

Many organizations across Cambridge also manage complex environments, from commercial buildings and research facilities to multiple locations that require consistent oversight. Without reliable monitoring and future-ready security technology, small issues can be missed before they become costly problems.

As a trusted commercial security company in Cambridge, Black Lab Alarm provides tailored solutions designed around the needs of local businesses. Our multifaceted approach helps reduce risk, improve visibility, and deliver dependable protection that supports smoother operations.

“I was introduced to Black Lab back in 2015 when our family needed a security system for safety reasons. Todd, Nancy, and Justin were all great to work with throughout the install and we’re very nice to work with over the years following in regards to monitoring and service. This past year we completed a home renovation and were so happy with them that we used them to upgrade our system in order to integrate with our Crestron home control platform. Black Lab was great to work with and made sure the proper equipment was used to make the integration smooth!
Positive: Responsiveness, Punctuality, Quality, Professionalism, Value”

“Our insurance company recommended Black Lab when we needed to update an existing system in a home we bought. Todd and the entire team were very responsive and professional and the installation was done very carefully in our very old home. We look forward to being customers for years to come.

“I recently bought a new construction house where I needed to modify some of the alarm equipment. I hired Black Labs to fix/upgrade the system. It was a tough conversion due to some of the current system limitations and as a result, it took longer than expected to upgrade. What impressed me the most was Black Lab’s responsiveness and dedication to making sure that they completed the upgrade as promised. The system is operating perfectly, and I am very happy with the level of service.”

“Starting with the assessment of my complicated current system to the detailed and fairly priced proposal, scheduling flexibility and the professional and workmanlike two day installation, the Black Lab team delivered in a state of the art manner. Five stars!”

“Not one of those huge name brand alarm companies… small staff that’s very polite, responsive, knowledgeable, neat and on time. Couldn’t ask for more!
Positives: Responsiveness, Quality, Professionalism”

“We were impressed with the professional installation and the quality of the equipment. Knowing that our system is up and running 24/7 gives us great peace of mind.”
