Customizable Plans and Equipment

Fluent Home does not provide pre-built packages, rather it offers you a custom solution that allows you to hand-select security equipment that suits your needs so you don't have to pay for features you don't need. This provides more versatility to customers and peace of mind that they won't be missing out on any camera or security solutions they desire. Fluent Home costs will vary depending on the plan you select (home automation and added security equipment will increase your monthly fee), and all security packages require a 36-month contract.

Standard Features Included

Fluent 24/7/365 burglary & theft monitoring
Easy-to-use touchscreen control panel
Customized 8-point security system
Remote web & mobile access/control
Remote arm & disarm alarm system
Email and text notifications

Optional Features Included

Carbon monoxide monitoring
Flood sensors & freeze detection
Personal emergency device (medical)
Lighting control
HVAC control
Automated door locks
Remote real-time video

Home Automation

Fluent Home is more than just an alarm company; it offers home automation capabilities along with its home security systems. With Fluent's smart home automation, you can:

Monitor and remotely control door locks
Adjust thermostat
Access 24/7 live video feed from your doorbell camera and indoor security camera
Turn on/off your lights remotely
Arm/disarm security system remotely
Receive security notifications via the Fluent App

Remote Control Access via the Alarm.com App

Fluent Home also provides you with its Alarm.com app upon installation so you can access, monitor, and control your system remotely in real-time. This is great for consumers who want access to their home security system from anywhere at any time.

24/7 Burglary and Theft Monitoring

Fluent Home offers 24/7 burglary and theft monitoring 365 days a year while providing you with an easy to use touchscreen control panel, a customized 8-point security system and will send you email and text notifications when necessary. Fluent Home security systems also sport motion sensor and glass break detector functionality. Motion detectors are easy to install, and even easier to monitor from your smartphone mobile app. Fluent Home's monthly monitoring service rates start at $29.99.

Fluent Guarantee and Lifetime Warranty

Unique to Fluent Home, the security company provides its customers with this guarantee: to only use state-of-the-art equipment, 80% of all support calls answered within 60 seconds, resolution of customer concerns on the first call, or service issues guaranteed to be serviced within seven days, and any customer not serviced within one week will receive free monitoring until their issue is resolved. In addition, Fluent Home security warranties all its equipment for the lifetime of the customer.

The Bad

Prices Not Disclosed on Website
Three-Year Contract
$99 Moving Fee
No 30-Day Money-Back Guarantee

Prices Not Disclosed on Website

Fluent Home doesn't post any equipment pricing information on its website, rather the company asks that you contact a sales rep so it can provide you with a custom quote based on your specific needs. That's not necessarily a bad thing because by doing so you will only be paying for those products and services you actually need. However, this is definitely inconvenient for any homeowner looking to quickly and easily compare Fluent Home's prices to other home security providers.

Three-Year Contract

Fluent Home requires a three-year contract for its services. This is a somewhat common contract length within the home security industry but with the company's higher video monitoring prices, this may prove to be too expensive for some consumers. Especially with a moving fee and no money-back guarantee, be sure to understand all the terms before committing to Fluent Home's long-term contract.

$99 Moving Fee

Fluent Home does offer removal, transport, and reinstallation services to its customers, however, the company charges $99 to move the security system to a new location. Many security providers offer moving options free of charge. This is unfortunate for any consumers who may move during their contract with Fluent Home. If this is the case, you may want to consider looking into a home security provider that does not charge a moving fee.

No 30-Day Money-Back Guarantee

Unlike many home security companies, Fluent Home does not offer a 30-day money-back guarantee. The company does allow you to cancel your services for up to three days after you sign your agreement. However, this is not an ample amount of time for customers to change their minds if they decide Fluent Home is not for them. If you want more of a trial period, we suggest looking into other home security providers.

The Bottom Line

Fluent Home advertises state-of-the-art products and professional monitoring services. Fluent Home provides a lifetime warranty for its equipment. However, in the company's reviews, customers note faulty equipment and a variety of other complaints, including poor customer service. Customers also have to pay a $99 moving fee if they want to transfer their home security system to a new home.

Customer reviews are often the most telling information you can gather to determine whether a company is worth doing business with. Read Fluent Home reviews below if you are interested in hearing what current and past customers have to say about the home security provider.

I have had a wonderful experience using this company. The company has been very kind and understanding in my circumstances and were willing to help me in any way they could. They helped me with a couple of different scenarios in order to for me to have options to choose from. I never felt hurried or rushed. I was never treated like I was a "voice" on the phone, nor felt like I was just a number. I highly, highly recommend this company! They greatly calmed my fears during a difficult time in my life.

WARNING!!! WARNING!!! BEWARE this is a VERY DISHONEST and RUDE company. Their agents are DISHONEST and they company not only support but is proud of it. That everytime you call you get a different person and nothing they say is documented. So, please take good notes to protect yourself. I was told by a manager/supervisor that to use this as a learning experience and always get it in writing. Which is funny because they hide behind the phone. I may sound bitter and ANGERY and it's true because I am stuck in a contract that I can't afford to get out of because I didn't listen to my instincts and closed the door. I would not recommend this company.

Not worth even 1 star! This is the worst security company I've ever dealt with. After moving to my new home with our existing Fluent system we went 2 years not knowing that our system wasn't being monitored because we now live in an area they don't service, and yet still having to pay for their service because of the contract. This never came to my attention until I called, trying to get the system to work. After sending a tech who informed me, nothing could be done without updating our panel for much more money, we had to either continue paying for a useless service or buy out the contract. We choose that option. After we paid off the contract, I was assured we would no longer be billed. To no ones surprise, that was a lie since I just got nulled AGAIN! When I called for a refund, I once again wanted reassurance that I would no longer be billed and that our account was now closed. I was met with rude, impolite and impatient customer service representatives who almost acted as though I was the one who was being unreasonable. I've never been more disappointed in a security service than this one. I highly encourage anyone reading this to go somewhere else for your home security needs. This company is a joke.

Leaving this message coz I'm losing my patience dealing with this alarm panel/monitor. I have been calling the customer service for more than 2 weeks already. No one was able to help us about this noisy and annoying panel screen. It beeps continuously almost every seconds for more than 2 weeks already. Agents said there is nothing wrong with the equipment. We tried to ask to have them replaced but they said they just have the older model which is smaller and doesn't show some information like weather, etc. One agent said the beeping was normal. Like, seriously? It is normal and working perfectly when it keeps on beeping every second? Which did not occur before. You pay them every month. And then you get this very supportive techs, OMG. I don't give bad reviews but what we were experiencing for more than 2 weeks is so terrible already. Kids are having a hard time sleeping. And I am having a hard time focusing on work needs to be done in my computer because of this annoying and continuous beeping sound. This is the kind of service we get for being a customer in almost 4 yrs. Wow... If I have an option to give it 0 review, I will..

Doing business with Fluent has been a huge mistake! Had I known going in this company would have poor installation, horrible customer service, and no technical support, I would have never choosen them. First, the brand new security panel I purchased from them was defective. This caused a delay in install. On the second attempt they installed all the equipment however left without making sure all of my smart home devices were working properly. My smart lights never integrated, smart thermostats and door locks were working intermittently. In addition they installed the $1400 panel with adhesive instead of a bracket (picture attached). When I called in to have the issues resolved I was told someone would call me back when the problem was fixed. I had to call them 3 or 4 times for an update. Weeks went by, each time with no resolution. Then they put me on an automated call back list. So I began recieving a call everyday from a tech that had no resolution and knew nothing about the problem or conversations from the previous day. On my last attempt I called in and a representative by the name of Aaron answered. He seemed to know all about the issues. He began actually yelling and speaking over me, stating he could not help me. He also stated he was a sales representative and I should not have called in on a Saturday. He said, tech issues should be called in during the week when they have more staff. I then asked to cancel service. I was told I could not, it would have to wait until Monday. ATTENTION: Do Not be fooled by the friendly first sales call, things will not end well. This is not a company I would trust to follow through with what they say they can deliever!

Their sales representatives in the field are dis-honest. They lie to you, and they use quick talking tactics to take advantage of senior citizens. Here is an example of a dis-honest sales rep. He is a liar. He told me FLUENT would pay off the contract I had with SAFE. Now FLUENT states they are only responsible for $350.00 leaving me with $1855.00 to pay or face litigation with SAFE. Mr. B told me 3 times that the contract would get paid. They would send me a check for the payoff and for me to then write a check to SAFE. That way SAFE would not know FLUENT was taking business away from SAFE. I asked him 3 times if that was correct regarding paying off SAFE. I have a witness that heard it. FLUENT said that I needed a written statement from Mr. B regarding this. He did not give me a written statement. Now I have called and/or texted him over 40 times since December 3, 2022. He has not responded to any of my calls and/or text messages. If this person tries to sell you on FLUENT, make sure that you get a written statement from him or FLUENT will just give you the shaft

Casey did a great job representing fluent he was personable he was friendly he was knowledgeable I have to say he has a very high rating in my book blew it on the other hand I’m not so impressed with the company itself and their policies and their sometimes lack of communication because I have made several phone calls in the past never did hear a response from anyone finally heard somebody sent me a called me and said he was sending me an update and I told him I wanted to cancel anything having to do with that is I can only send you the updated equipment you do what you want to do with it and I couldn’t tell you his name but I was not impressed with him so I got the new piece of equipment whatever it was it was still in the envelopeI was in the envelope and I left it there in the entryway because I did not know what to do with it and no one said what you do with it and so when I was having other difficulties with Fluent and they finally got in touch with you about scheduling for someone to come this nice young man Casey showed up took care of the issue here at the house and I like I said he gets a five star rating glued on the other hand I only gave you four because of him so that’s my input

Fluent lied to me from the beginning and there was nothing I could do about it because I was stuck in a contract. Then they are having someone else take over billing. They charged me twice within a week. Never even let me know. I thought someone hacked my bank account. I am not under contract anymore and trying to cancel service and they won't let me for another 30 days. Stay away from Fluent. I didn't like ADT,but they were better than Fluent!

I cannot say enough about how terrible this company is. Do not sign a contact. We did 4 years, and it was ok until all of the products stopped working. This in itself would not be a reason to be too upset. Stuff breaks. But by the end of my term I was paying for nothing (because nothing worked any more). I waited for my contract to be done in august. I went two emails, was never responded to and the service was not canceled. I called twice- both time they people on the phone said they would have someone call me back and they never did. I did three chats on the website. Every time I was told somebody would call or email me back and never did. For four months I tried to cancel and was unable. Finally, today, I got through to someone and he said I had to right out a contract on paper and email to them to cancel. He refused to refund any of the money they have literally stolen in the last four months (240 dollars) I could go on, but I won’t. Needless to say I highly recommend not using them. The last employee I spoke to was rude and could have cared less, even though he’s the only one out of 7 people I spoke to in total who told me how to cancel.

My Fluent system is not working, 3 months after my current contract expired. I contacted them about getting it fixed and at the same time I added more equipment and upgraded others. After the contract was signed on 25 Nov I found out they have no technicians in my area that can do the work. The earliest date I have for them to possibly come is 5 Jan. I told them that that was not reasonable and as its after 30 days specified in my contract for delivery of goods and services that I want to cancel. They refused and offered me two free months. Two free months for a non functioning home security service with fire, gas, and flood monitoring. Totally unacceptable. I have engaged with my local government consumer protection agency to rectify this. Horrible support for their products. Avoid this company.

I seriously cringe giving this company one star because they deserve zero. We had them for five years on a contract. Over those five years the service was awful. The alarm was always having issue and every time we called nobody knew what was going on. We moved from our house right at the end of our contract. We called them and let them know we were moving several months beforehand and they told us that our contract was almost over and we wouldn’t be billed anymore. We moved and three months later we noticed that they had still been charging us every month even though we didn’t have a contract anymore. We called and they told us that we were supposed to send something in writing. They never told us that when we called originally. They also told us that they don’t do refunds so we weren’t getting our money back. We sent an email stating that we wanted our service canceled as the person on the phone had told us to do. And today, a month later they freaking charged us again! My husband called them and of course we were told a totally different story that we have to fill out some form. I’m looking into small claims court because this company is a total scam and has taken hundreds of dollars from us for an alarm that we don’t even have anymore. If you’re considering this company, run the other direction. Literally any other alarm company would be a better choice.

Where do I start? We purchased a home in 2019 and decided to use Fluent as a home security provider, our other only choice being Vivent (had problems in the past with them but in hindsight a better choice) A Fluent tech came out to review the existing alarm system and devices, and see what our needs are. Most glass sensors, co2 and smoke were already installed from the previous home owner, in the end we had a few additional window sensors added and outdoor cameras. When the tech went to install the new panel rather then asking us where we wanted it or installing in the previous alarm panels location (which was wired for power) he smashed a hole in our wall with a hammer so he could feed the wire down the wall to a outlet. If thats not bad enough he decided a good spot was 5' up the wall with the screen facing the front windows so anyone on the street could see the status of the panel. Fast forward a year into our contract, I came home from work and half our window sensors were faulting as well as the door sensors. After a few hours on the phone with customer service and bouncing around from person to person I get a manager on the phone who sent a tech out for free, I think only because I had to complain so much. Tech comes out and tells us that half our sensors were not even connected to the panel. A couple months later I also notice the co2 alarms and smoke alarms had expired in March of 2019 meaning the original tech didn't even bother checking to see if our devices were still good. Fluent refused compensation for the terrible install. To be honest I didn't even bother calling back about the co2 alarms because who wants to sit on the phone for 2 hours to be told tough luck. Fast forward another year and our 2 year old panel goes nuts with every alarm under the sun. I ended up pulling the panel to silence it. Fluent rings me up and surprise the panels not covered under warranty and they want to charge us for a whole new panel, once again I escalate up the chain to management and after a lengthy conversation they finally agree to ship a new panel for free. Fluent is terrible. I usually take 1 star reviews with a grain of salt but everything you read about fluent and their underhanded business practices is true. I'm glad I read these reviews especially the 30 day notice of cancelation. I will be sending a certified letter, email and phone call each month to them for the final 3 months of my contract to ensure that they do not get one extra penny from me. Equipment will be returned via certified mail. And if they still want to play games and mess with my credit they can speak with my attorney. Do not sign contracts. Do not upgrade your equipment. Do not answer the door for their salesman. Do not allow Fluent in your home.

Took his time and made sure everything was working good. I've seen many techs over the last 5 years and he was the best I've ever had. I would like him to be my tech in the future.

Tried to cancel last year. When I called was told to email the request to the cancellation dept. Unfortunately, did not see the clause on the contract that said cancellation must be one month in advance. The person I spoke to at that time in the "cancellation dept." was very condescending and said I would have to continue for another year or pay for the next year to cancel. Needless to say, I didn't cancel at that time. He was not a very good rep for your company. Wish I had written down his name at the time.

I was very happy with Fluent first years. It seems that since it switched API, the service is not the same. Fluent rep used to come, when he was in my area, and check on my system just to make sure I’m okay. That does not happen anymore. I’m paying $42/month and I’m doing their tech work...had to replace the CM battery, wall monitor battery, then when I couldn’t climb up to replace the battery in the hall monitor, I couldn’t do that. Then I received an email telling me that if I didn’t send back the old hall monitor, they were going to charge me!

The alarm system works. I had some issues with the Arlo cameras and with the pandemic they would not send anyone out so it took me a week or two to try to figure out how to get them working again.

We’ve had it for a long time so it is starting to show some tear but they have always been real good about fixing things. It is easy to use. I like the features in the service and they program they put together for me.

Seems like they have pretty good equipment. I never have any issues with the equipment or the installation. It is accessible via cellphone and that is great. They have pretty good customer service though t can be hard to get a hold of them.

My smoke detector went off the other night because of something I was frying on the stove. It didn't take long before the monitoring station was asking if everything was alright. The gentleman on the other end was very nice about it and didn't make me feel stupid for the occurrence.

Up until the last month, I had been happy with Fluent. However, we recently had a fire in our shop. The heat and smoke were intense but the alarm didn’t go off until the shop was at an extremely high heat. The monitors were, by this time, melted. I was able to get help from a lady, after two futile attempts with other staff, who heyme disarm the two alarms in the shop and stop the incessant beeping of the security system. Up until this point, we had no concerns about our security system and hope to get it up and running again when the shop has been renovated.

Few years ago our home phone line was cut from construction 1/4 mile from home. At that time we found out that our Fluent alarm system was only linked to home phone line and not cell. If alarm was activated for break in etc there was no way we could of been notified. Also have had other problems with Fluent system which took few years to remedy.

Two major issues: 1) a detector was beeping; I called tech and a guy walked me through how to take the thing down. It was only installed 3 years ago, and had expired already. Not impressed.2) The main panel started beeping, in the wee hours of the morning. It gave a communication error. I called into tech services, and was told the rror had to do with my cell phine connection with the nearest tower. The nearest tower is within 500yards of the house, so this made no sense. But it kept happening. I called in again and was told I could buy a $70 part and install myself (with their help) OR replace the whole control box. I bought the $70 part. I have NOT installed it, but magically the error has gone away. Now my spidey sense are tingling......does someone sit in a control chair at Fluent and get bored in the early hours of the morning, and send out wierd error messages, just for a lark?

Our power was off for 24 hours. We had to phone Fluent to ask how to turn off our system because it kept beeping. They were friendly and helpful. When the power came on, our system did not come back on, so we called Fluent again. Chris was so helpful and patient. He had us take pictures and send to him so he could access the problem. He sent us back a picture and walked us through all the steps we needed to do to fix the problem. We were happy to get everything fixed in a timely manner.

We needed to upgrade our old 3G and hard wired system. Fluent did this free of charge by me just extended my contract. The installer, Wahlid, was excellent! He put on a mask and wore it properly the entire installation. He was courteous and professional and took extra time to make sure we knew how to use it correctly. When we armed it the first time that evening we got a warning that the smoke detector was not communicating with the units. Mandy P called me and worked diligently to fix the problem which she did by update the required info and rebooting our system. She too was courteous, professional, and worked with us until the problem was solved. Fluent is lucky to have employees like Wahlid and Mandy P

Their customer service has always been great however we have frequent problems with our window security alarms (often says tampered with when no one touched them) and we have had frequent problems with our sky bell doorbell not recording or LED not lighting etc. It’s been replaced numerous times. Our backyard camera, even though you can set the sensitivity and settings of it, it always seems to record too much or things like wind blowing or doesn’t record at all. However technology is not perfect and most security systems/companies have their pros and cons. A pro for fluent is their customer service is always wonderful!!
