One thing I really like about this company is that it has great reviews, and their customer support is very helpful. Every time I call, they answer all my questions and once you're signed up, you keep that same person to contact through phone or email when you have questions. The installation process was easy, simple, and you can do it all yourself.

Customer support has always answered the questions I've had. Even if I didn't call in, they'd call to check in and make sure everything is working right. All the equipment is doing what it said it would, and I haven't had any problems. Protect America has provided more services than other companies, and everything that they claim has been true so far.

Protect America's customer support has been really helpful in setting up appointments to call back and help set up my system. The equipment is okay - everything works, but it is faulty. It's not terrible equipment, but it's a little difficult when it doesn't always work well. I think the price is competitive, but I'd still like to get it cheaper. This is a very trustworthy company, and I recommend this company to people looking for a home security system.

If an issue occurs, as soon as the alaris a phone call instantly to confirm the situation. With our previous security and an incident occurred, the alarm would ring about minute or soo and they would call to confirm and then they would call police, fire, etc. I would have wasted a good minute of valuable response time. Mini has a wifi responder which keeps my phone line free for their call yet the wifi recognizes and puts call thru to 911 center as they confirm the problem. There is no wasted response time. Better to cancel an alarm than need help and to waste valuable response time!

We never seem to get the chance to answer the alarm person before the alarm goes off again. They cannot hear me speaking because of this. Give a person a bit more time to get to the key pad to talk to the operator to say that all is well. This is very annoying. Very annoying. It has happened twice & he person talking to us & we couldn't get them to hear us so they called the fire ???????????????????????????????????????? This little fish ?? is for goodluck in money and love, but u have to keep this fish alive, by sending it onto the people u wish happiness and to always be safe... you have to a'' including as the next thing we know is

The system works excellent. I had a small fire that started in the electrical switch for my swamp cooler. The switch shorted out and was smoldering. The smoke detector went off and the alarm company called me and the fire department, who responded within 5 to 7 minutes. If i hadn't been home and not had the smoke detectors, it could have been a lot worse. The system saved my house from being potentially destroyed.

After having a break in, I just decided to go for a home security system. The alarm has gone off a couple of times by accident, but we haven't had another break in or anything of the sort. The system and equipment is easy to use and also very effective. The people have been very quick at solving any problems and they've always been very professional and noble.

The service was offered to me along with the home, so I accepted it. Whenever I have a concern, they solve the problem right away. I just tell them the issue and they resolve it for me. The equipment works and it's easy to use. I'm happy with the service and I don't really have any reason to change. Even when other home security services call me and offer me lower rates, I always decline.

The sales guy described the product to me and how it worked. He showed me the security I would get and how safe I would be, I was sold. Anytime the alarm goes off, I get a call from the company to make sure that everything is ok. If something is wrong with the system, they always help me get what I need and let me know what goes on. It has been almost a year and a half since I got it and it works exactly the way it was demonstrated. It's easy to set and disarm, and the information on the screen is accurate. Whenever there's a storm or anything, it alerts me to it. Overall it's a good service.

I wanted to get rid of ADT because they refused to upgrade my system, so I decided to go and switch. The gentleman that came by to install the system was very helpful and did the job speedily. It didn't take them long. Every time I had a problem, I just called them and they would solve it all quickly. I have a doorbell device and I love it, I can hear it from anywhere in my house.

We got it since it could be wireless and it was cheaper than the company I was using. Customer support has helped me out in several situations, including the time my alarm was malfunctioning.

My husband passed away and since I wanted to stay in the house, my son insisted I get a security system. Since he's my son, he has a key to get in of course. The system tells you if the doors open or if you leave a window open as well. Whenever I have issues, customer service is great and they jump right on it. They work through with it. I also like that I don't have to wait for someone to come into the line, you speak immediately to someone. Since I'm living on a medicare fixed income I've had to make some adjustments for me to go with them. Still, it's an excellent system.

Any time I have had problems with equipment they help me fix the problem right over the computer or phone. If I was out of town and alarm went off they would notify me, call the police and then call me back to let me know what the police found. Their customer service is always nice and friendly and more than happy to assist with any questions or problems you may have. Very happy with Protest America!!

It's really good, and I like it. I've been with Protect America for a long time, and it's a good company. They respond really fast, and the customer service is really good. Plus, they're really good listeners, and are very friendly and comfortable to talk to, so I'm very happy with them. Actually, when my husband lost his job for some time, they gave me a time that I didn't have to pay anything, so they had a lot of empathy, and that's what I liked. They even sent us a $100 gift card! I was really happy with the person that helped us out, he was wonderful!

We previously had ADT, and the alarm went off when a lightning struck a nearby person. We tried getting a hold of them to help us turn off the alarm, but they wouldn't answer, and even got to the point of hanging up on us. It was a really scary experience because it lasted 24 hours, however, Protect America did instruct us on how to manually disarm the alarm. They were very helpful! I'd say they've been very trustworthy people, and overall, we've been very satisfied with their service.

We were looking for a security system for our house, and the way our house is built wasn't really convenient for other companies, and they were charging up to $1,500 to install the system. On the other hand, with Protect America I just ordered it online and installed it myself! I've always been able to get through when I call them, and they even give me a few tips here and there. The alarm has gone off a couple of times when I wasn't home, and the police was here within 5 or 10 minutes, and I liked how quick they were.

Their equipment is very easy to use, easy to maintain, and their customer support is very helpful and easy to reach. The YouTube videos have been very helpful as well.

Protect America has been a good company. I've been with them quite a while now, and I haven't required much of their help, although they have made changes to the system. They just sent me the articles to make the changes. The equipment has actually done a good job. A squirrel set the system off one time while I was away from home, and they called me to ask if I wanted to call the police. They were pretty quick with that. Plus, I didn't find any better prices when I was looking for a system, and as a matter of fact, I think that's why I chose them.

I've had some problems with the batteries and the sensors, so their representatives walked me through that. Of course, I had to pay for them, but they sent me new batteries. I've also had a couple of alarms that were accidental, and they show me how to take care of that as well. The only thing I don't like about them is that they're a little high in their monitoring. Besides that, I've basically been trouble free with them.

For the most part, my experiences with them have been positive. I really liked the idea of being able to order the system and install everything myself. Actually, that's the reason I chose it. My only complaint would be that every time I test my system, I end up calling the security center. It takes them about a minute or two to answer. It's not a big deal when I'm doing the monthly test, but if I had an emergency, then I'd be pretty concerned having to wait that long to talk to someone. Besides that, I've been pleased with the equipment, although, I've had to replace the wireless siren modules a few times already. I've also had problems with the intermittent motion detector, for which I must take everything apart and put it back together for it to work. I think they change their monthly charge to less than $40 as well. Most of the companies out there charge less than that.

they've offered good customer support. I had to call to add a sensor, and they were able to walk me through the process. I also had a couple of false alarms, and they did what they were supposed to do. I loved the idea of not having to pay a lot of money for the installation. That also meant that I would be able to install the system myself, without having to schedule appointments and have a lot of people running all over my house.

It's been real good, I mean when you call them and they answer all the questions and help you through everything, they're just good about it. As for installations, the guy came in and just installed everything and gave us instruction, how to do and it was real good.

At the time when I was looking for a security system, Protect America was the most prevalent in my area. They simply offered what I needed. I've always had a good support from them. They've always answered my questions, and provided whatever service I needed. The system is good, I only had a problem when they updated it. They wanted me to put in the new machine myself, which I wasn't able to do, so I had a little trouble trying to get their consent to send over a technician to do that. Besides that, everything's very good. They're always on top of everything, and are timely with checking your equipment periodically.

It's been an awesome customer service! They've always known what to tell me, and when my key fob was failing, they figured out it was the battery, and they sent me a new one within 2 days. I also installed it myself, and it was really easy. Regarding the equipment, it does exactly what it's supposed to do. We had an outreach once, and my house was still secure because I have that wireless thing attached to it, so that was awesome! It's just a great company!

They're all very nice people, but I just had trouble setting up the system because of my disability. Fortunately, somebody came over and helped me. The was pretty easy to install, but I didn't like the cameras. Since they have electrical cords, I'm going to have to have an electrician come over, and that means more money. I just haven't had good luck with it. Besides that, everybody's wonderful and really nice!

ADT told me I had to own my home to have a security system, while Protect America didn't require that. I accidentally pushed something the first week of having the system, and they had the cops come over right away, so that's when I figured out it actually works. The representatives got us straightened out right away, so it's been a very good experience. An ADT representative approached me with an offer, but I said no. I'm very pleased with Protect America.

Their customer feedback online was very good for Protect America when I chose them, so I decided to go with them.

They actually walked me through everything, and that was very helpful. The representatives were very helpful, and they double checked everything. I'd say they're very professional as well. I had an incident where they called me to tell me that somebody was in my house. It appeared to be somebody with permission, but unfortunately did not know the code. They gave me the option to cancel the alarm, that way, the police wouldn't have to go over.

Whenever I had a problem, their customer service answers pretty much everything over the phone, and they're pretty clear as well. So far, I haven't had a problem with their equipment.

They're reasonably priced, and they're willing to upgrade your service when you run out of your contract.

At first, the installation process was confusing. I wasn't really sure in how to place everything, but the technician on the phone was very efficient. I live in the desert, and the sun melted the adhesive, so my alarm went off because the sensor picked up that drop on the window. They sent over more adhesive right away.

The main reason I chose Protect America was because it has a self-install option, and that was actually pretty straight forward. I'm a bit technical myself, so it must've been easier for me, however, everything was pretty simple, even for beginners. Plus, their customer support has been fantastic!

Everything has been really good, I mean, we weren't even thinking about getting one, but after seeing an advertisement on T.V., we decided to check it out. That was over 10 years ago! The only problem we've had is the time I got to replace the battery. Other than that, I've had some sensors that go bad over the years, and we've replaced them using the warranty we have, so that's not a problem. All I can say is that this is a good system.

Our alarm has gone off in the middle of the night, and they immediately call and stay on the phone with you, until the whole thing is figured out. Installing the system is time consuming, like any other alarm system company, and a little tedious, but the result is good.
