The system is pretty straight forward, most modern security companies are using the same system. It is just a matter of who is the cheapest each month.

Hi Ava, Thank you for reaching out. We have a solution for your equipment. In hotter climates, we recommend using silicone glue as an adhesive for your wall sensors.

The service is horrible both in the home and over the phone. They waste a lot of your time trying to troubleshoot every time I call them with same issue. My alarm system cannot be set to away when I leave because it will keep going off as if there is an emergency so my house is not protected! I am so displeased with this Protect America!
