The customer support has technical knowledge and the ability to work through issues. The salesmen should have more advanced technical support.

The application is not user friendly. I was not informed on how to use all the features of the application. I know I am able to speak through my cameras but do not know how to do so. Also, the camera refresh timing is slow.

Alarm has went off on a couple occasions and I was never contacted that the alarm was activated. Also, there was a malfunction with the box and the screen wasnt working on a Sunday so I was unable to leave the house until Monday because technical support is only available Monday through Friday during normal business hours.

Product is unreliable and control panel is difficult to use. If i had known how difficult it is, i would've never signed the contract, now i'm tied in for 3 years-- it's so bad i'm even considering paying the remainder of my contract just to move on. i'd rather go w/ something more user friendly like Nest or Simpli Safe.

Hey Jane, we’re sorry to hear that you are having issues with our panel. At Protect America we have our security experts preprogram all of the equipment before shipping it.

Our alarm actually went off and we received absolutely no phone call to see if it was actually a home invasion. We also get no correspondence from this company unless our bill is past due. I don''t feel completely confident that this company is actually monitoring our home. We''re just throwing money away.

My Florida house was severely damaged by Hurricane IRMA - and these guys would not defer the contract payments while we rebuilt. So I have paid a monthly premium since Sept of 2017 for an off line system. In my NY house - the sensors fail on a regular basis. The only good thing these guys do is send me constant e-mails that remind me their crummy sensors have failed.

Over priced and unreliable. They called everyone one in my family and never contacted the police even after they could not get a hold of me. It was an actual emergency. Also, I didnt live in my house for 8 months after burst pipe. They couldn't help, provide discount, replace anything and I still had to pay with the system not working. They could put it on pause or anything. Once I'm out this contract I'm done.

I think the equipment is good I think they do a little better by having little additional key pads by your most used doors that go in and out instead of having just one central keypad. Every time I try to call I get the message that they are experiencing high call volumes and have to wait quite a while before I get to speak to anybody.

If the fire alarm goes off and I tell them to wave it off the fire department shows up anyway. The control panel has a silent mode but when you go out the door it beeps no matter what. They also need a more upfront cancellation policy. They basically give you like two weeks or ten days to cancel and return and that starts before you even get the equipment so by the time you get everything set up you are a week in. By the time you figure out that it's a terrible system it's too late. Now I'm stuck so it would be nice to have more transparency.
