This far it is dependable and easy to use and the service is great. Each time I call they answer mt questions fast. It could be a little less expensive.

My house is well protected because I have it on all the windows and I have cameras on the outside. So far I haven't had a problem and it wasn't too expensive.

Don Beedle Kingman, AZ

The salesman heard my security needs and suggested their equipment to meet my needs, but once I received the equipment it does not meet any of my needs. I am most disappointed because they have made no attempts to make it right and they actually do not have any equipment to meet my security needs. I thought they would try to make it right someway but they have not.

Darrel C.

It took 3 different shipments to finally get all the equipment to set up our system. Had to talk to Customer Service 4 times to finally get the system labeled right on their end to identify the right windows and doors. Setting up the system was a hassle and the cost is a lot more than expected for equipment and monthly charges.

It's a really good quality but the velcro on it sometimes come off. They are good at helping but sometimes it's hard to get a hold of them. I like that I can secure it from my phone.

They seem to have the best plan. I think the sensors are a little too flimsy. It has fallen when the doors were slammed. It is not hard wired, which is convenient.

Every time I've called, they've been very helpful. The camera barely works and it's hard to connect. I like the fact that I can look on the app and the security system from my phone. I wish I could be able to upgrade the equipment sooner then when my contract is up.

They gave an offer to upgrade when signing my contact which i did not take it at that time. But later when I called and told them about the offer and asked for an upgrade they went back and checked my records and told the offer was not made to me. There is no reason for me to lie for saving some little bucks but felt very bad when i was told that there is no offer made in the records

joy Carson, CA

I initially wanted to try out protect america and got 2 alarm systems for me and my parents (2 different households). The guy I originally talked to said he would get me a deal if I got 2 instead of 1 system. originally, was only intended on getting service for my parents but regretfully I decided to give this company a try. I received my equipment. Installed my parents system which took about 4 hours, unlike what they advertise of taking 1 hour or "my grandma was able to install on her." Feel bad for that grandma, probably took her a whole day. I sent my equipment back on time before the 30day free trial deadline. I spoke with Vanessa in cancellation department she persuaded me to continue with service. My gripe at the time was that the monthly was too high. Unfortunately for me and luckily for the company, I'm bad at math... she was able to bring down my monthly but unbeknownst to me for a longer period of time (from 24 months to 36 months) which in reality I'm paying more for the service which didn't help me at all, financially. So protect america took more money from me and currently still are. Never did I receive my equipment I sent back which is the main box though protect america though they are still charging me, monthly, for an alarm service I have never installed. I tried several times in the beginning to get a hold of people to help me through this situation to try and cancel but since I've signed another contract that Vanessa sent me, I am past the 30 day free trial, which was never explained to me. What I thought, after signing another contract, was that I had another 30 days from that contract with Vanessa but in reality it's 30 days from the original contract. So now I'm stuck with them billing me every month $33.99 for a service I'm not receiving or cancel the contract but having to pay for the remaining months which totals out to more than $2000.00. And on top of that, have their company's representatives calling my phone and leaving messages at least 5 times a day. How a company can get through cheating out their unsatisfied customers is beyond me. I checked on BBB as well and it looks like a lot of people are on the same boat as me. This company is crooked and I would never recommend them to a soul.

For the same price as their competitors they send you a self install kit and commit you to 3 years. I didn't know this until I paid the fee and scheduled the appointment. A person to walk me through set-up? I had a camera, and glass break sensors. I had to have a man install which was even more money. Not pleased. Also, you MUST keep a payment method on file as if I am unable to pay my own bills. I do not like the fact someone can withdraw funds from my account anytime.

Easy to setup, good customer service, the monthly check verification is a bit annoying. The cost of additional sensors is also a bit of a pain, especially when you get them for free to start.

Customer support has not been too cooperative. Just because I didn't know the password or the pin number, they hang up the phone on you. They should instead help you reset the password and help you with setting it all up if you have issues. I honestly don't like the $40 a month, which is huge for me to have a 3 year contract of that. I keep getting false alarms from the company as well, which is annoying.

One of the best things is that you can monitor your home while away, but it needs to be wireless. That way it will still be up if the power goes out.
