I love all of the features with Protect America. I have a camera set up at both doors and I can view them from my cell-phone whenever I want. I can also check to make sure that they system is armed. We got the system because I want to protect our new home that we just built. I found Protect America online and I have loved it. I give them a 10 out of 10.

We travel a lot and needed something to make sure our house was protected. We researched different offers and thought Protect America was the best. We decided to purchase door and window sensors, as well as smoke and fire alarms. Everyone we have talked to has been great to work with - they answered questions, gave tips, and were so polite and so nice. I was amazed that any business could put that much time into satisfying their customers! I only wish that they had a camera option so that we could see who it is when people come to our backdoor.

Response is almost instantaneous, when I accidentally tripped the alarm, I received two phone calls from Brinks and law enforcement (LE) responded within minutes. The calls I received from the alarm company were to make sure I was alright and the other was to see if LE had responded.

They were pretty good when they walked me through each step to get set up and were pretty patient. I called back and they said they were going to make sure I was locked in and ready to go so customer service is good. I've had issues with one of the sensor. It says my door is ajar but it really is not and then goes back to being okay.

Customer service was great throughout the installation process. And we haven't had to call the technicians back with any questions since then, so that speaks highly of how their equipment works. A little user's guide would be nice, but it's a very intuitive system.

It wasn't too expensive and it fit our needs. I love that they call us before getting a hold of the police or anything and that they help us fix like one of the sensors are off or something they'll help us fix it. Plus they service us in a rural area. The only complaint I would say I have had trouble connecting their cameras. They should get a wider range of video survelliance. They've handled everything that we needed and I've never had an issue with them.

I would recommend them to others. I'm a new customer and with what I've seen so far I am satisfied. They guaranteed a price that would not increase. It appears to be good equipment. The only thing is I had to call in two different calls during the installation for technical support. Both times the call went into a waiting list and it takes an hour to an hour and a half to call me back.

The customer service rep was very respectful and was able to answer all my questions that I had.

Can't rate a 5 since we have only had the service for a month so time will tell. Was having false motion alarms and customer service by the website tech chat was excellent. I didn't research about the quality or reliability of the alarm components, time will tell here too. I feel they offered the best deal for what we needed in home security. It is an easy to set up system and you can have it all completely done before ever calling them to step you through the activation process. The Quolsys2 control panel is very easy to use.

Their ad says that it takes about 30 minutes to setup on your own. There's some serious stipulations to make these even close to accurate. It took me 3 hours. To be fair, I am dealing with a slightly larger home and was alarming every window. But, this involved a number of steps that involved opening and closing every single point that had a sensor on it more than one time. There was also the calling back several times while they did things on their end. Additionally, I've had issues from the very beginning with the doorbell supplied randomly restarting and or loosing connection. Rather than sending a replacement for a brand new product to a brand new customer, they had me troubleshoot it to 'fix' the problem. I also had to order additional sensors during the setup process. The technician 'made me a deal.' As it turns out, a week later I received an email with deals on additional equipment that always more than $10 less than the 'deal' I was given as a new customer. I will say that outside of these things that the customer service has been pretty on point.
