Bay Alarms are active in the support of their community, as they list dozens of community outreach organizations, law enforcement agencies and school, sports and educational organizations they have helped. It could be surmised, however, that such support could be just a public relations tactic.

Bay Alarm Company, despite its activity in the community, has many positive and negative reviews. There are reported problems of false alarms, charging for repairs when they are not supposed to and making it difficult to cancel their service (it must be done in writing). There was another report that said that sometimes they say the installation is free, and it costs $80.00 per half hour. On the other side of the coin, other people think Bay Alarms is wonderful. It is a mixed bag.
