The review is pretty accurate about Central security. I have had them for about ten years. The response time really quick. I do have a hard time getting information from customer service. For instance, I wanted to know when will my contract expires and no one really has been able to tell me. Also, I wanted to do a upgrade and add video camera and just wanted a estimate about what the cost would be, but that couldn't be done without them coming and doing a walk through of your home. I understand it's more accurate quote that way, but I just needed a basic quote because I'm comparing prices now. I currently pay right at $50.00 a month for the 360 plan without the video system. I really haven't had any negative issues with the system.

I have had Central Security for at least 20 years, maybe longer. I have sensors in all windows and doors. Attic included with floor sensors also. It is easy to arm and disarm. I do not have the video part. I have accidentally set off the smoke alarm in kitchen and they quickly responded. Everyone that I have had contact with from installation, many years ago, to present, have been very courteous, efficient and professional. My monthly fee I have on aft and less than$22. I am a very satisfied customer. I have a local office nearby that I call if needed.

I think your rating is way off. We've had the system for years and have not had any problems or complaints. When the smoke alarm goes off from us cooking, they call to see if everything is OK. Never a problem!

Have had Central home alarm for 2 years and just added video cameras outside. Have been very happy with the system since the start, and adding the video cameras is a plus. Very happy with the customer service also.

We have had service with them for 1-1/2 years now, and we did not have any problems with the service. However, I have taken a new job in another state, and they say that we will have to pay for the rest of the three year term at full rate. They did not offer any type of discount. They said if we transferred the service to our new residence, with a new contract, we could cancel the present contract. Or, if we convince the new owners of our house to take a new contract, they would cancel ours. This is bad business, especially since the sales person told us we could cancel our service if we had a letter from my employer, but that is not the case. I would not recommend this company to anyone.

I was with Central Security now Alert 360 for 5 years. My contract was up 2 years ago. Once my contract was up, I contacted customer service to figure out what the process was to disconnect my service and see if I could get a better deal. I never had a problem with them until that day when they told me that my contract had self renewed because I had not contacted them within 30 days of my contract ending. Needless to say I was quite upset, and spoke with a manager who agreed to move me to month to month. She further told me that all I had to do when and or if I decided to cancel was to call customer service. Today, after being month to month for 2 years, I received my new Ring alarm, and self installed, and then called to disconnect. I was transferred to their "CEO Care" department where they tried to get me to stay. When they finally realized I wasn't staying, they told me I had to send them something in writing and had to provide a 30 day notice. These people are liars. Even when you leave after being a faithful customer for 5 years, they still want to stick it to you on the way out.

I have been a customer since 2015. I had an alarm placed in 2 homes. Mine and my daughter's. Ours has been fine, Even getting hold of us when wwe were doing repairs to our home and had to temp. disconnect the system. They called us each month. But my daughter's has had problems. I can handle to sensitive, like just walking past with a cigarette in hand. that is a good thing. But, when the system is not functioning at all, they fail big time. A couple they actually contacted her and did repairs but this time, the alarm has not worked for 6 months and no one knew it and then the worst happened. Her home caught fire and was destroyed in the middle of the night. No alarm call or No sirens. She and her family barely got out alive. When asked what happened, they said they tried getting hold of us each of us for the 6 months and were unable to make contact. 3 contacts, all cells phone kept on us at all times and no voice mail left either, if they tried at all. Something seriously went wrong big time. They seemed not even concerned that my family nearly died and cont to charge me for service for a home which no longer exists. Bad business/service in my opinion.

We have had Central Security for 3 years and so far we have no complaints. They call immediately if the alarm goes off. They are very courteous and friendly. Not sure how they received such a low rating.

I think your review is inaccurate on their customer service. They are there 24/7 and I've called at all hours. They have been always helpful and friendly.

I was talked into a three year contract. During this time the system never worked right. It would go off for no reason at 2 and 3 in the morning. A call from them never happened. They sent people out to check and fix system 3 times and the 4th they wanted to charge us for the repair which never fixed the problem. Our contract was up in may 2016. We sent emails and called saying we weren't signing back up. To this day they are still hounding us to keep paying. Three years with a system that never worked right, and they don't know how to take no for an answer. It was also sold to us under the understanding it was adt, which was a lie. The worst ever.

Their equipment and software need constant repair. BEWARE!!! Every time you request a change or upgrade any equipment they restart your contract for another three years. You cannot get out until that three years is over and you request the cancellation in writing. They are very deceitful;. BEWARE!
