We have had Protect America for one year. They've delivered excellent service, and have always responded right on spot if we had questions. They were really helpful when we set up the system as well. All the equipment has worked perfectly, and we really enjoy the peace of mind that comes with having a security system.

This system is very easy to install. They do a system check every month, and give you assistance when you call. The system is very convenient for my family. I feel very safe and secure knowing I have a security system I can depend on.

The people at Protect America are super friendly, willing to help, and pretty straightforward. It was a little disappointing when we got the system, because we had to switch out equipment that wasn't working properly. I think the cost factor isn't very reasonable. The only thing I would complain about is you have to self install all of it. They say it takes an hour, but it took 3 hours for me to install it.

They were very helpful with the installation and everything else that was involved with setting up my service. I think they could update some of the technology and equipment they have. I think it would also be great to downsize the equipment, but still get the same results.

They're usually always available, and they're always helpful. The alarm works, once the Police even came. So, I can tell it is functioning. I like the key chain that comes with the systems and lock, which can also set the alarm off. I also like that you can install it yourself and don't have to pay for installation.

Any time I have a problem they answer immediately. Every single time that it gets tripped it immediately goes off. The app is very convenient. The fire department responded instantly when they needed to. I think that they should make an outdoor camera.

Every time I call they are friendly and take care of my problem. Sometimes it takes a while to figure it out, but they get it figured out and are patient. If I have the WIFI calling turned on my cellphone and try to call one of the numbers, it sometimes doesn't work until I turn off WIFI calling.

They talked me through the installation and called me back, it was perfect. I like that I can check it from my phone, turn it off before I get home. It's very user friendly and you aren't tied into a set number of sensors or anything.

They call and check on you. They respond every time you make a mishap, either by giving you a call or emailing you. They do a test call with you and remind you about the test. It's reliable and does what it's supposed to do. However, I do think they need to advertise more.

I'm pretty savvy about technology but the support was very thorough, and they made sure to make everything make sense. They are very patient. It's easy to use, I don't have to worry much about it. They have competitive prices and I wouldn't recommend anyone else.

They'll call you or send you alerts. Everything is connected to the apps, it's really straightforward and I don't have any issues with it so far. I like that their units are all self-contained, so it's all in one central location. They are really good at customer service and they are at a pretty good value.

It has some innovative features like the camera. My husband is disabled, and I want to be able to check on him and I can do that on the app. They're very patient and make everything simple. The stick-on things aren't very good, they could probably work on magnet ones. It's convenient and easy to set up.

I based signing up on price and they had the best price. When I call in, I always get prompt help. They explain it all and take care of all the problems. The equipment is okay, they upgraded to something not as bulky, but I have the bulky one. I don't really like that I have to call in and do a test for my security to make sure it's ok. But, I don't do that all the time anyway.

The reason I opened an account with them is because they offered me video. But they were not able to set up a camera and I've tried to call back twice and set it up, but the support is not helping. The phone calls are really hectic, I think the live chat is easier than the phone call when it comes to having a problem with the alarm. The best thing that I like is I am able to use the app when I am at work and I can do the live chat as well.

Before I had Protect America, I had a security system that I wasn't really happy with. But with Protect America, I can operate the system easily. It works perfectly and I have no problems with it. The best thing it provides is easy access to turn the system on and off.

We wanted something a little more automated and kind of tech savvy if you will, so that was why we we went with them. Protect America has been responsive when we needed them to be. We haven't really needed them much, but they've done a good job for us. We've had a good experience and the system works.

I don't have any cameras that are suitable for the price range I want. It doesn't have full functionality. They should have full app features working correctly. If you hit 'away' from the home, it doesn't do away. You have to actually check off the settings and then click away. 'Away' and 'to arm home' are both the same button. I do like their price though.

I've had absolutely no issues with the equipment and I was able to do the install just look for guidance over the phone which made it very easy. The customer service has been spectacular from set up through anytime I call them or they called me because I turned the alarm off they've been very responsive and very helpful.

It could use some minor improvements terms of the asthetics and how it fits the surrounding area in the house. It could be a bit cumbersome. I'm using the color touchscreen. I feel like it could be a bit more ergonomic and slimmer but that's pretty minor. Everything else seems fine.

You have to know what you're doing when you put it together yourself. It can be kind of challenging sometimes. I like it. It's easy to engage your security. It's easy to turn it on. It's easy to engage it when the door is open. I'm satisfied with it.

The customer service is very thorough. I have had on an occasion or two where I've had trouble getting connected to the right person. But once I did get connected, they gave me all the help I needed. They're probably the best I've ever had any experience with but this is only the second security system I've ever worked with and the other one was thirty years ago. I use it when I'm away from the home and I haven't had any false alarms.

I've only had to deal with them doing the set up process. They had to stay on the phone with me to make sure everything was set up correctly. I get email responses every time I set my alarm always on or armed or disarmed. I very seldom I don't have to contact them at all but I'm satisfied with how they monitor my home.

Every time I call in they have been right there right away. I haven't had an issue that wasn't perfectly resolved. I never have any issues with the equipment, it's good quality.

Excellent support on the phone for ordering and installing. I liked to do-it-yourself approach and the expandable nature of the system. I did not like the robo calls from Best. That was very irritating and intrusive. I do not hold that against Protect America

They spent a lot of time explaining everything, and then they called me back on several occasions. They called me every single day to try getting everything set up as soon as possible. Only one time did they not answer and there was an immediate call back. They follow through and the equipment is working.

The number one reason we went with this company is because of the cost. They're equipment is wireless, easy to install, and more economical than other companies that I've had before.

After considering multiple options, I went with Protect America because of their combination of great technology and pricing. All of their agents have been very informative and pleasant to deal with. I've only had one time when a customer service representative accidentally gave me misinformation, and it caused me to order an unnecessary piece of equipment. Their mobile apps could use some improvement, and they're not very user friendly. Aside from all that, it does provide the information I need.

I haven't had it that long, but they've reached out several times to make sure things have been covered. They sent me a certificate so I could send it to my home insurance. The camera is good, but I don't really care for the window and door sensors. I have trouble with them coming loose. I'm also having a trouble figuring out how to mount the main panel to the wall.

They were very attentive to every single question I had. The gentleman I spoke with spent plenty of time answering my questions and was very thorough. They were extremely patient and walked me through the installation. Overall, it's a good value, but the Velcro seems a little loose and some equipment seems a little bit cheaper.

The system is easy to install, but I'd like to have information about the different features. They only gave me very basic information, but I'd like to know more in depth about the master code.

We got it for our second home since we needed security and we liked that we could use an app to manage it. When I called them originally, they were horrible. After I called them and got to someone, they never called me back. I even left some 3 or 4 voice messages and never got a response, I was really pissed off. When I tried to get the installation people to come something similar happened. I never got a callback, and that was even after I had paid! I also feel like I'm paying a lot more than what they offered me in value. Maybe it's because I have more equipment or something, but I don't think that's good. The equipment is very good though. It does what it's supposed to do.

We switched from a different security company because they were cheaper. We are having some trouble with the equipment right now. It doesn't tell you when a piece expires or something so right now we're trying to get in touch with Moni so we can replace that part. Customer service is really good though. They've really tried to help us, but sometimes there are not enough representatives in the company or in the area to supply us. If there's a problem, sometimes we have no way to get a hold of people that can help us fix it within a certain time frame.
