I like the concept of the wireless mechanism and its the items available from my system, but the monitor is a little expensive. I like the phone app where I can see what all my devices are doing. I actually have two devices, the one is to my home and one is that to another place. I haven't had any failures everything seems to be operating properly. Every time I call them they're right on top of they walk me through it. We get everything resolved and we're good to go. Keep up the good work, I'm satisfied with it.

I chose them for the easy setup and the price. You can have as much or as little as you would like to depending upon your individual security needs, meaning you can use the wireless remotes that you can purchase in addition to or you can use the app on your phone. Customer support is very friendly extremely knowledgeable and you don't have to wait for someone to handle the needs that you're calling in for so. They offered very reasonable prices and the equipment provided is good if not better than any other competitors that's available on the market today.

I've had Frontpoint for 7 years and have had great experiences with them. In all those years of talking to customer service when I need help, only one of them wasn't very kind. We got two new doors and couldn't find the sensors we wanted anymore since they were discontinued, so that was a bummer. The system is easy to use and makes me very happy overall.

When I was researching security system companies, I saw that Frontpoint had a good reputation and is a wireless system. We've had a few sensors fall out but everything has been taken care of, so no complaints. The system was easy to install and every time I call into their customer service department they are helpful and friendly, getting things resolved quickly.

When I had questions about installation and equipment before I purchased it, they were very accommodating as far as answering all my questions and making me feel at ease about the product. Now that I have their system, they are still very patient and helpful to make sure I feel comfortable about the whole process. They are very tolerant because I set off that alarm a lot. The system works the way it's supposed to.

Frontpoint is pretty good. I have no complaints. They are pretty trustworthy. The app works really well. The integration with the home automation is really good and response time is fast. Their staff is pretty good. They are always super helpful and easy to reach. Always able to answer all my questions. The only feedback I have is it would be awesome if they bundled equipment.

I wish Frontpoint would come out with a wireless camera so you didn’t have to plug it into power and a garage sensor so it could detect folks coming up your drive. Other than that everything works. There are no problems. I appreciate that they are quick to respond if we have a question. They are also quick to notify us if there is an incident and the house. We don’t have a lot of neighbors so it is nice to have a group of folks monitoring our house for fire or freezing issues.

I like using the app. It is easy to log into and cancel the alarm if it is a false alarm. They also call whenever there is alarm which is nice. I like the options and the different things I get connected electronically. I think the glass break sensors are a little off as I have broken glass and it has not gone off but everything else has been fine. Once when I needed a break from the payment, the gave me a six month delay to keep my service.

Every site I have looked out they are rated either number one or number two. It works the way it is supposed to. They call almost immediately if there a delay putting in the code. It was very easy to install and easy to use. It is connected through the phone line. The only issue I’ve had with the equipment in the couple of years I’ve had it is it needed a new battery one and they got it to me very quickly.

I was with ADT for years and they promised me that my prices would never go up and they stood by that for a couple of years and then they did not stand by that so I looked around online and found Front Point and they had the most stars so I checked them out and have been very pleased with it. Anytime we’ve accidentally set it off, they always call my cell phone in a certain amount of time. Whenever the doors open, it goes “ding ding”. I know when someone is outside.

I have the assurance and know that they are there when something happens. The quality of the equipment compared to some others, it seems to be a better company. I rarely have problems and when I call, they knew exactly what my problem was and resolved it. Most of time I will get someone that can take care of my and educate me as why my problem occurred.

Frontpoint was very quick to respond to things. They didn't make us feel like we were stupid like the other companies did. They stay on the phone with you and try and make sure that everything is working to the best that it can. They go above and beyond from what I've had experience with other companies. A few of the items will fall offline. We've had a few times where it has done false reports but it's very far and few between.

Every issue I've ever had was resolved and they communicate very well with me at different levels. I've had issues with the hub that continues. Even though I have to keep calling to have it reset, it loses the identification of doors and windows at times. It'll just say "door open" instead of "garage door open". The camera's fall off line quite frequently. I'm not crazy about the camera system so I won't buy any more of those. Other than that, the system's been working pretty good. It's easy to install yourself. Their cameras on the app don't function properly. There's only one space that you can actually see. They're not very maneuverable.

When I called for technical support, people got back to me in a reasonable period of time and they spent a lot of time and effort to help resolve the issues. For the most part it works. There are some glitches and unexplained glaciers now and again. There are a lot of devices that are not compatible and I would say that they should incorporate the ability to use a lot more.

No complaints here. It is easy to use, you can turn off the alarm from your phone and that has worked out real good, I don't even use the keypad they gave. When we have had a couple of problems, they were able to work with us and get those problems worked out. We've tested all the windows and doors and everything has worked fine and when we accidentally set off the alarm ourselves, it was transmitted to the company and they called use back to see if everything was okay. I am very satisfied with the pricing of the equipment too.

They were easy to work with on the phone. They were able to get me my equipment and everything I needed without overselling and working with my budget. Every time I've called, I've always been able to work with whichever agent on the phone. They helped me walk through any trouble shooting and if I need to sign up any new users online. It seems to be pretty durable and long lasting, easy to install. It's easy for you to check on your policy, get updates immediately.

My experience has been mostly positive. The area for improvement would be to give me bundled options instead of ala cart. I have been advised my system will not allow for anymore cameras but tells me nothing of upgrade opportunities to allow for more. There is. O DVR option as well with the system. I would like 7 soffit cameras to create a complete perimeter around my home.

They are always there when you have any problems. They will help you troubleshoot. The young lady proceeded to stay on the phone until I got all of my equipment hooked up. It was beeping incessantly and I called up and they checked it out and said that I didn't have power supply. It seems to work. You open the door and the alarm goes off and you shut the alarm off. I haven't had one issue. I think they could be a little bit cheaper but I'm willing to pay the price for the customer service and equipment.

They go out of their way to make sure any issue are solved, whatever the issue. I had one of the sensors fall off and every time I called they were extremely helpful and knowledgeable and they did everything they could to correct it. I think there could be some improvements on the keypads so that they might be more efficient and easy to use, like the old ones. It could be a little more user friendly.

When we first got it they didn't tell us that it was an additional ten dollars a month for the app which I have not been super happy about. They send these little foam things that you put the sensors on that don't stay very long. I like that we can check in and make sure things are okay if we are gone on vacation and we can use the app to turn it on or off. You can assign different pin codes to different people so they can use it as well.

Every time I call there has been great customer service interacting. When they talk, they are explaining everything to me. A couple of times they tried calling me and they tried calling my wife and I had set off the alarm without knowing. They tried to reach me right away so it's great service. The garage set it off a couple of times and the police came over and you know they're on their game.

They are very attentive to our needs and if the smoke alarm goes off, Frontpoint is right there. They call if anything happens. We have two residences. The first one we had Frontpoint old system with a big display and we never had a problem. The other one is the newer system and we keep having problems. When they give a faulty system to a resident and the resident let's them know the system is faulty (we can't even use our number pad, we set our alarm and it keeps going off and when doors or windows are opened it doesn't go off), I would like them to take care of the problem. The latest model we got is not very good at all.

Every time I called with questions I've received what I needed in a timely manner. It seems to drain batteries pretty quickly and then it gives me like fifty error messages when I change the battery. You can set up the system yourself and you don't have to wait for people to come and install it. Whenever there is an alarm going off, it would be really helpful if they would actually call about it.

When I called, they were the first ones willing to give me a price up front. Other companies weren't willing to do that. They were really good at giving a little bit of help after buying it. And then we called them once about a window default sensor or something and the guy called back but it was like 9:30 at night. I appreciate them getting back to me but not at 9:30 at night. It was easy to install. They were willing to work with me on price. I got it down to $35 a month instead of $85 or $90 or whatever. They were really helpful and prompt in sending the material and sensors and door lock.

They do not try to oversell. No hidden costs. Installation is pretty easy. As for things to do, I suggest that they make the instructions and help doc available somewhere on their website (currently their support team emails them as needed - for example how to connect the system to Google Home). My other suggestion would be on their monitoring services: it's 100% clear to me under what circumstances they call after alarms. I have had their CS calling after false alarms, also received automated calls after I cancelled alarms, but it also happened that that the alarm went off, I cancelled it and no one called to follow up.

It's been great. My only complaint is the struggle to update my name in the system. There are some places where the name cannot be changed so despite getting remarried, the online system still shows my ex husband's last name. Instead of "The Jackson Home", it says "The McKinnie Home". And my name says McKinnie in some areas and Jackson in others. I wish they could update across the board so my new husband didn't have to see my ex' name claiming his home.

The products don't have Wi-Fi connectivity like other automated smart home products but otherwise the products are high quality. I would suggest they update their products so that they are more easily integrated with other smart home products. It does give peace of mind having a system monitoring our safety.

I did have one motion detector fall and one malfunction but other than that it is easy to install and to operate. They could improve the reliability of their sensors. I would say their customer support is good. They were very prompt and thorough with their help. Their hours are better than most companies, they are available almost around the clock. When the sensor fell, they immediately mailed me a replacement.

I have had to interact with the customer service multiple times and get support from them. The alarm has gone off and they always call and the first thing out of their mouth is the alarm is going or say that their major concern is that you are safe and then to proceed on if they need to proceed and send somebody to diagnose what's going on. I've had no difficulties with any of the equipment. It was easy to install and it's not difficult to maintain. I like the flexibility to access the system through the phone.

After doing research on the internet, I went with Frontpoint because it was relatively inexpensive. We have forgotten several times to disarm the system on the way back in and they call us.

Great experience so far....it's been about six months, I've needed to call in a couple of times and they have always been very helpful, There are multiple adjustments that can and should be made on the camera frames, movement detection %'s and multiple boxes within each camera. Knowing that I going ito the call and the rep taking time and patience to walk me through each step proved to be a good learning experience and thoroughly setting my system to my preferences was very good.

I am using Frontpoint in a very simple fashion. But initially it was very easy to install... the sensors - the door lock was a whole other issue. They probably should mention there is no door handle on their locks, so you actually need TWO "locks" for the door - one for the actual handle and the other hole for the pin pad and lock. I also think their integrations could be better - i.e. more options. Frontpoint has the opportunity to be the central hub of the house. The eyes and ears of the house. But right now I have different systems with different log ins (Arlo for my cameras, Front point for my doors, Nest for my Thermostat).

The only experience with customer service I had was one time my alarm went off and I was at work and I immediately got a phone call and I wasn't able to answer it. So they called my emergency contact and he was able to go by my house and verifiy that it was just falling off the way. It was fast and efficient and I felt safe when they contacted me. My only issue with the equipment is that the indoor cameras placed in my windows do not provide a clear picture at night which is what I was hoping for so that I can check my front and back doors at night before I arrive home.

They have the best customer service I have ever dealt with in a security company.

The monthly payment is a little high and the equipment is not cheap but at competitive prices with the competition. They are very knowledgeable and patient with the clients.

The customer service was really good. There was a couple of hiccups regarding getting connected and the payments. The control panel couldn''t connect at first to the towers so they sent another part. It turns out the part wasn''t the problem but the backend code or something like that. Also, since I''m from Canada I thought I was being charged in Canadian dollars but after one bill I noticed it was American. I called and they rectified the problem immediately. As for improvements, I would have liked to have the touch screen panel but they were sold out and I wish the phone app was more versatile. I tried making scenes for the system but it doesn''t seem to work. Overall, I''ve been happy though.
