Like most professionally installed solutions, a Guardian Protection security system requires little upfront costs and offers free, fast, and safe professional installation. All it takes is a one-time equipment fee ($249) with prices varying depending on the home security systems package.
The monthly fee for monitoring at $45.99. An IQ2 PowerG Panel, PowerG motion detector, PowerG window/door sensor, and professional monitoring services are standard. The IQ2 control panel has hands-free Bluetooth disarming, a built-in glass break sensor, a built-in 5MP camera, plus advanced encryption technology. The wireless window and door sensor options have a discreet design and a lot of power. They communicate with your Guardian security panel and help protect your home's critical entry and exit points. They come with PowerG wireless intrusion technology, providing more secure encryption, longer range and reliability, and better battery life. Video surveillance from the security camera array is only available on more advanced packages.
Package details for Guardian security systems are as follows:
The company also provides a couple of policies in the event of a home burglary or customer relocation. Guardian Protection's Home Theft Protection Guarantee gives customers $500 toward their insurance deductible in the event of a home burglary*.
If you move from your home after one year of becoming a customer, you can get a new system installation for your new home including 1 standard security control panel, a door/window motion sensor (3 sensors total) and 1 motion detector for as low as $99. Call 1-800-246-2148 to speak to a Guardian Protection relocation specialist. Subject to the terms and conditions.*
Beyond offering most of the basic security and home automation equipment in the industry, Guardian Protection also offers advanced smart security devices such as a video doorbell and camera. This alarm company also has smart garage door control, which most security providers don't provide. Other devices include smoke and CO detectors, in-home medical pendant, image sensor, and a host of others.
Guardian Protection offers home automation capabilities in addition to home security. With Guardian Protection's free app, you have complete control of your home security and automation whether you are at home or miles away.
Through the use of your smartphone, tablet, or computer, you can control and manage your home's lights, door lock, smart thermostat, indoor camera feeds, as well as your garage door at the touch of a button. Now you're not just tied to your control panel. The app will also alert you if your door sensors are tripped. You can do this at anytime and anywhere. The app is available for iOS and Android, so you don't have to worry about incompatibility with whatever smartphone you may have.
Guardian Protection's home automation not only adds additional security to your home, but it also helps you save money by reducing electricity and energy costs. If you're away on vacation or out for the day, you can adjust your thermostat and set light schedules in your home to save energy.
You can also arm and disarm your home security system through the app, and if there is any activity detected, you will receive an immediate text or email notification to make you aware. This gives homeowners peace of mind that their home will be safer and better protected around the clock, and they will stay apprised of any noteworthy activity caught by their home security system.
Guardian Protection has a high star-rating on BestCompany.com from consumers, which demonstrates a quality company with positive customer service and a satisfied customer base. Guardian Protection reviews highlight quick response times, great technician service, and value for your money. Read additional Guardian Protection reviews below to see what else consumers have to say about the home security provider.
Guardian’s services aren't available everywhere in the United States. And although Guardian Protection monitors systems in all 50 states, the company only provides new systems in the following areas: Delaware, DC, Maryland, Ohio, and Pennsylvania.
In addition, the company doesn't provide services to apartment renters (house renters are fine). However, this is not uncommon for home security companies.
In addition, Guardian Protection only provides three PowerG door/window sensors with most of its packages. Even small homes often require more than three door/window sensors, meaning most customers should account for additional out-of-pocket costs on sensors if they want a cheaper plan.
However, the Family First, Protect My Parents, and The Works packages all have 5 door/window sensors. If you like the extra equipment in these packages, these might be good choices for you.
Guardian Protection isn't upfront with terms like cancellation penalties and warranty information when it comes to monitoring services. As such, prospective customers are strongly encouraged to read the contract thoroughly before signing. Remember, you're committing to this company's professional monitoring for three to five years.
Guardian Protection offers a solid home security service, including a home protection guarantee* and a variety of packages for every budget. Depending on the package, service will include more advanced security features beyond the typical door and window sensors.
Guardian Protection offers more than just home security. With robust home automation features and a free mobile app to manage your home easily and efficiently from wherever you are, providing homeowners with more control and peace of mind. Consider the Guardian Protection reviews below before making your final decision.
