I initially had ADT and was not happy with their service, so I switched to Protect America. Their service has been very good. But sometimes they're hard to get a hold of by phone. You can reach them on the internet, but I'm not always able to do that.

Since I live close to the border, I decided it might be a good idea to get a security system. The representative on the phone talked me through how to put in the alarm system. They're very knowledgeable in the system and helped to find the protection I wanted. We've been very satisfied with Protect America.

Coincidentally, we talked about getting a security system, and the next day, it was in the paper! We've been with Protect America for 14 years and are very satisfied! We've never had any problems. They're a fine company.

Every time I've had a problem, the have been able to solve it. The service is good, and the product works, and that's basically all I need. The only complaint that I have is that they switched to a new sort of control box, and it doesn't give me the delay that I need to get in and turn the alarm off. So I'm constantly setting the thing off.

Someone tried to break into my home once while my daughter was inside. After that, I decided to get a security system from Protect America after someone recommended them. Everything has been great.

I did research on home alarm systems about 10 years ago and decided to choose Protect America. They always call rapidly when the alarm goes off and they respond accordingly to what is going on. I've been very satisfied with the service overall.

We were previously with ADT and were unhappy with them, so we wanted to continue with a service, which is when we decided to go with Protect America. The've been great so far. The only problem is that technical support isn't available all night. Once it gets late, their phones shut down and you have to text them. Sometimes it's kind of hard to diagnose the problems when you're texting with someone.

When we first moved into our home, we were the only house around. This was back in 2004, so we decided to get a system for the doors and windows. We haven't had any problems, and things have been pretty good.

The whole process of dealing with Brinks Home Security has been long and tedious, marked by misleading emails and other forms of poor communication of Brinks with its customers. The only thing that has saved it has been the absolutely splendid assistance of your customer service rep Jodie Ann. She was exceptionally helpful, as well as a calming influence on my - frankly very justified - outrage with how Brinks Home Security operates. She also was very careful in defending the company while at the same time understanding my concerns. I think that were it not for her, the whole situation would never have been resolved.

I had an issue with my panel that took weeks to correct. After two defective panels, the third is now installed but I have yet another concern on how to manage two devices. Called customer service who could not navigate this simple request and now I am waiting for another virtual tech meeting. All very frustrating. I will say that both Rafael and Jonathan M were terrific in helping me install the panels and were so patient! For that reason, I am giving 4 stars. The process has been difficult and I had to call the twice to have my bill reduced for two weeks of down service. I spoke to Dominique first who told me a sold NO refund per policy and then called back to find that Jaqueline was so helpful and immediately went to her supervisor for the approval. I am on contract and cannot move away from Brinks but will certainly consider it when the contract ends. I remain very dissatisfied with the past few weeks of a messy approach to my issues and lost cost.

I loved the excellent service that I received from Ms. Alex. She gave the best of herself in fixing a horrible problem that should have never happened. Ms. Alex took the time to explain what my options were for the alarm permit and what she can do to make me whole. I love how professional Ms. Alex was throughout our conversation and the fact that her communication skills were impeccable. Brinks should hire more people as Ms. Alex and she definitely deserves a huge raise! Suggestion...If Brinks has a training department, Ms. Alex should be the manager and she can teach the employees how to communicate with the customers! True transparency is a must without a doubt!! Thank you again Ms. Alex for all your endeavors in this matter. Be blessed and take care!!

3rd and final update. I have installed my four motion sensor cameras and the clarity is AMAZING! They were very helpful through the installation process and answered all my questions. The motion detection notifications took a couple days to get used to, overwhelming at first, until I figured out when and how much I wanted to be notified. So at this point, I'm VERY HAPPY! Protect America really proved to me what a great company they are and how much they really care about their customers and their satisfaction!!! VERY SATISFIED WITH THE SYSTEM AND CUSTOMER SERVICE! UPDATE ON MY ORIGINAL REVIEW!!! On 9/12, I left a pretty upset (long) review. On 9/13, I got a call from Nico at Protect America. I told him my issues and he offered to resolve them and made things VERY RIGHT! I just received all my new equipment today 9/18 and I'm very happy and excited! I will be setting it all up this weekend! Thank you Nico for making things right with me!!!

I have never had a problem with PROTECT-AMERICA in the 5 plus years that I have it. Customer service has always been polite with me no matter how many questions that I asked. My only problem is what it cost a month. Figure it out $57.99 per month comes to $638.88 each year for the 5 plus years comes to $3,575.33. Don't get me wrong. If you take 1" x 2" and you cut them a little longer so you can nudge them between the top of the lower window to the above frame, one on each side you will never need a window sensor. You just put sensors on your doors and one or two glass breakage sensors it becomes, or should be much cheeper then all the gismos that home security people try to convince you that you need you need......

This is an an e-mail I sent to Mika B. today: I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for being so helpful today. I would rate your customer service an ”A+” for AWESOME. You were so gracious and went above and beyond to make sure I was a happy customer. You made my day! After receiving such arrogant e-mails from Velyncia D., my intention for calling today was to cancel my service with Moni. After being a customer for 10 years, I would have expected her to try much harder to make sure I continued to be a happy customer. Velyncia seemed as if she could care less about the customer. She was so eager to accept my response that I would be cancelling my service without any further communication as to why or what she could do to change my mind. Her attitude seemed as if the customer is not satisfied, she would be more than happy to cancel their service. In my opinion, she definitely should not be communicating with customers with an attitude like that. Needless to say if I had not had such a wonderful experience with you today, I would have cancelled my Moni service and would definitely not be recommending Moni to anyone. Again, thank you so much for being so pleasant and willing to make sure your customers are happy. Moni needs more people like you!

I've had LiveWatch for 2-1/2 years (as of this month - 01/2018). I did extensive comparisons prior to taking them on. My priorities were: 1- Backed by an excellent monitoring company (they are - Alarm.com) 2- Crash & Smash protection (alarm is sent if invaders attempt to destroy the equipment or disconnect) 3- Multiple level plans (they do) 4- Graphic user console (they do - IQPanel from QOLSYS) There is also a higher level of options with this panel, that allows me select specific parameters for each sensor. 5- Easily expandable sensors at no charge (except for cost of the sensors themselves) (yes, and I have) 6- Dual communication - Cellular and Wi-Fi (they do) 7- Common standard for sensors (they do - Z-wave) 8- Pet immune sensors (they do, up to 40 lbs.) I use my own video and smart home system, because I prefer particular modules of my own choosing (my cams are much higher end than almost all alarm company offerings). The one time I had a console problem, due to a bad battery, they immediately shipped out an entire new console, pre-programmed and ready to plug in. Never a problem w/ billing, and only a 12 month initial contract (most others are 3 years).

Excellent price and warranty, high quality equipment, quality support. We paid $99 up front for the panel, two door alarms, a water alarm, a motion detector and two fire alarms. This system is wireless within the house (GE Z-Wave) and LTE to the monitoring centers (alarm.com). If we cancel in the first year we will get a refund on the equipment and if not we will own it. I did not like the Livewatch video integration or anyone else's at this time. To get the best functionality you should look at separate system. Also, the installation takes longer if you are very careful and happen to have high ceilings (fire alarms). I set aside a day, that way I could verify everything and I could have it turned live immediately. Ordered on Thursday, installed on Sunday, live on Tuesday, we left on vacation on Thursday after giving a trusted the neighbors a code with iOS monitoring on our iPhones.

I installed the LiveWatch equipment over a year and a half ago. The unit has worked flawlessly from the beginning. I have 13 sensors and accessories connected. I still keep the monitoring contract because they have been flawless. I received a call that my motion sensor was tripped in the garage at 3:00 AM in morning. I had not heard the alarm. I told the agent that I would check it out. I thought maybe a neighbors remote opened the door. The monitoring agent did not think that was a good idea and offered to call the police. She was right- a raccoon had entered through a window and tripped the motion sensor. With a number of family members entering and leaving through multiple exits, the ASAPER feature is excellent in controlling false alarms.

I must have done dozens of hours of homework and review research (when did I become this person!?). In part of my research, I started a chat session with LiveWatch one night, and must have asked over 50 questions. The rep, Ajay, was phenomenal. He never pressured me, tried to sell me, etc. - honestly just a friendly knowledgeable 2-hour chat session. He continued to answer a couple dozen more questions over email over the next couple of days. I can't remember the last company that had a rep with so much passion for their service before, it was refreshing. The upfront costs were low compared to the big box security systems, and the monthly rate the same or lower than them too. The best Alarm.com panel came with the package (released Summer 2017). Motion sensors have cameras built into them. And one of the best sensors imo is the "FireFighter", picking up a signal from your existing smoke alarms to capture both photoelectric and ionization (the major TV-commerical DIY security system can't do this). From great sensors, great panel, amazing customer service, low or equal monthly rates, and ALL of my hours and hours of research (agh!), I am 100% comfortable securing my home with LiveWatch and I'd do it all over again too. (P.S. LiveWatch offers life time warranty on all sensors/panels, you just have to ask - a little catch there)

I had called originally to cancel my service because I recently sold my home but after talking with Kayla, I changed my mind and decided to continue my service for two more years. Kayla was such a blessing; she was so kind and sensitive and went above and beyond to try and help alleviate all my concerns. It was a joy to work with her and she made everything seem effortless. Kayla was professional, attentive, knowledgeable and patient as she took all the time needed to answer my questions. It is rare these days to have the opportunity to work with someone that genuinely cares about their customers the way Kayla did me. Thank you for hiring such quality people.

Moni alarm system is the best. I had a mother company for 25 years & they were very cold, all business & not friendly. All they would do for me was to increase the amount of money for their services. They never came out to update my equipment. Had to call them for problems & of course they charged me a trip call. If problem was not resolved & had to call them back call them back they then charge me with a second trip call. Not right. Moni is charging me LESS per month than the other company & I had been with them for 25 years. Very happy with Moni & their GREAT customer service.

I have only had the LiveWatch service for about a month so haven't had to test the actual reliability and response times yet but the initial experience with them so far has been excellent. Very friendly, responsive and courteous people I have spoken with at each step of the process from ordering to install and set-up to support. I did a lot of research before choosing a home security provider and found the LiveWatch system, and integration with the Alarm.com products and smartphone app, to be a great choice for my family's needs. Tons of options and flexibility, room to expand the system down the road with other nice smart home features, and a super easy interface on the control box and the smartphone app, which is how I interact with the system 90% of the time.

Being a highly & broadly experienced 75 yr. old, in my opinion LWS (LiveWatch Security) is unique & stands out head and shoulders above any other company I have dealt with in my lifetime. Every person I have had contact with at LWS has been: friendly, professional, knowledgeable (both product-wise & their security system), courteous, and current. They listen & hear what the client says, are prompt and reliable in responding to my every uniquely different needs. I am totally satisfied since I found LWS and joined their total system. I would, & have recommended LWS without reservation & with high praise for their every interaction with me. As with any installation (which was a breeze) there were some small glitches, but LWS always responded promptly, correctly, efficiently & effectively, way above any possible expectations. Simply stated: LWS is AWESOME.

Brinks is hands down the worst company I've ever worked with. We use security cameras in our gymnastics gym to ensure the kids and coaches are safe, and they worked perfectly with Cox. As soon as Brinks took over we started having issues. I've now had 3 separate appointments with techs that tell me "I don't know how to fix this", don't have their own equipment (one tech used my personal laptop for over 6 hours during my workday AND didn't have a necessary HDMI cord), and have been without service for close to a month. I've spent more time on the phone with customer service than I can say, and not one person has apologized, been empathetic, or shown any concern. They refuse to prioritize getting us a new appointment, and I've had to wait weeks in between techs coming out. This has become a liability for my business and they refuse to even transfer me so I can speak with a supervisor. Please, please - save yourself the headache!

The inside camera isn't very good. You can't see the person or understand what they are seeing. They need to either come out and set up a system themselves or if they're gonna continue where you set it up yourselves they need to make sure that the people on the other line can actually explain what to do to set it up and not just keep put you on hold asking other people questions.

We had an alarm go off at 4 a.m. and customer service was closed so it's hard to getting help at that time. They should keep customer service open 24/7. The equipment works good but of the equipment they sent me two parts were faulty.

I had ADT and they are able to protect your house the same and they are able to answer all my questions and work with me through the whole installation process.

Customer support was very helpful and worked with me because I had to reschedule several times. You can't use any of the cameras without wifi but I like what they have to offer.

I was looking at the reviews Protect American had and they were excellent, so I decided to give them a call. They have been attentive and I feel safe with the system.

Insulation was easy with the help of the protect America technician. I am very pleased with the system and although I have an actually tested it, It appears to work well.
