After comparing prices and reviews we picked Protect America. For the installation, they were pretty thorough with the details.

They really work with you and they are very patient to help you figure out how to set it up and mark the panel and stuff. The alarm is easy to use and works immediately.

Kelli R. Farrell

My alarm has gone off several times and the monitoring company has not called to see why or if I am alright. One time the alarm went off there was a shooting outside and I was on hold with 911. I need to hear from the monitoring company if my alarm goes off I am fleeing Human Trafficking and have experienced breakins in the past.

I am kind of disappointed in the service. It takes to long for them to call me back, it takes hours sometimes it's the next day. It was easy to install but they have poor customer service.
