The Good

  • AlarmAccount SMS
  • Pet-Friendly Technology and Services
  • 24/7 Monitoring Service
  • Pay Bills Online
  • Reliable Customer Service
  • Variety of Customer Discounts

AlarmAccount SMS

LOUD Security recently introduced a free add-on service that allows current customers to respond to alarms from their phones. The service works by sending you a text message when an alarm is triggered with a link to a web app to confirm or disable the alarm. 

AlarmAcount SMS allows you to edit emergency contacts, view account information, test your account, view alarm history, and chat with other emergency contacts. Being able to chat with other emergency contacts makes it easy to determine next steps and understand the situation depending on who is in the home. 

Pet-Friendly Technology and Services

LOUD Security makes it easy to protect your home and your pets. The company utilized pet-friendly motion sensors so the alarm is only triggered when a real break-in occurs. Customers can also register their pets with LOUD Security so that if an emergency happens, emergency personnel will know to locate and ensure the animals’ safety. Monitored smoke detectors can be added to your system to protect family members and pets from fire danger. 

24/7 Monitoring Service

The company's trusted monitoring services provide real-time communication to protect your home from break-ins and fire emergencies. LOUD Security has operators on hand 24/7, every day of the year. The company monitoring center is U.L. certified and dispatches emergency personnel when an alarm is triggered. Owners can choose a cancellation word that will be used to cancel the dispatch authorities if there is a false alarm. 

If a natural disaster occurs in the Atlanta area, LOUD Security has a central monitoring station backed up out of state. 

Pay Bills Online

Customers can choose electronic billing and enroll in automatic payments each month. LOUD Security gives customers the chance to pay online from any device at any time. 

Reliable Customer Service

LOUD Security seeks to provide reliable and helpful customer service to each of its customers. Customers that have questions about their system or service can contact the company’s live technical support team Monday through Friday from 8 am to 6 pm. 

If you do need help after business hours, you can call LOUD Security's answering service which can help provide information depending on the problem. If the service is unable to help, there is an after-hours technician that can help with emergencies. 

The website also has all the system manuals listed in PDF format if you lose one of your manuals. You can watch instructional videos and read frequently asked questions from other customers. 

Variety of Customer Discounts

LOUD Security Systems provides a variety of discounts for customers looking to save on their home security system. Below is a list of the current special offers on LOUD Security’s website: 

  • Free Device Promo — New customers who purchase Interactive Remote Services will get a free monitored smoke detector or another device of equal or lesser value. 
  • Frontline Heros Discount — If you are a frontline hero (i.e. officer, firefighter, teacher, military personnel, or medical worker), you can receive a 5% discount on a new security system with the purchase of the Total Connect Interactive services.
  • Senior Special — Anyone 65 and older gets a 5% discount with the purchase of the Total Connect Interactive services. 
  • Switch and Save Special — If you already have a security system, you may qualify for the switch and save discount. You’ll be able to use your current equipment and get 20% off the monthly monitoring rate. 

You can also ask the sales consultant about any seasonal promotions when you call about purchasing a security system.

The Bad

  • Only Serves Atlanta Area
  • Limited Pricing Information

Only Serves Atlanta Area

LOUD Security is a local installer which means the company only services the Atlanta metro area. This can be a great option for those located in Atlanta who want to support a company with a proven track record of quality technology and service. However, for those located outside of Atlanta, you will need to look into a national or local home security provider. 

Limited Pricing Information

The company’s website does not include information about a money-back guarantee, moving policy, or cancellation policy. Equipment costs are not outlined and equipment is not thoroughly explained. LOUD Security Systems professionally installs systems but does not provide information on the installation cost or activation fee. Customers have to fill out a form to find out more information about any products or services. 

To improve transparency, the company could offer more pricing online that allows customers to quickly compare home security packages with other providers.

The Bottom Line

LOUD Security is CSAA certified and offers 24/7 monitoring capabilities. Since the company customizes each home security system to customers’ needs, no two home security systems are exactly the same. LOUD Security provides updated technology and services to best serve its customers in a world where protecting your home and family is more important than ever. 

The company provides pet-friendly technology and services to give you more peace of mind when you leave the home. You may also qualify for one of the company’s several special offers that can help lower the cost of your monthly monitoring and home security system.  

If you live in Georgia, and especially around the Atlanta and Kennesaw area, LOUD Security may be worth exploring.

We did take a lightning strike and fortunately for us there, Loud was very prompt and came back out the next day to change the motherboard. Then we had a short outtage recently last week. I called to remedy that because it was setting off the alarm system. So I say the equipment is fine. There's always the latest and greatest and it will probably be time for us to upgrade soon, but right now we're doing great. If I ever have a problem, they are always prompt to give me a solution and figure out what's going wrong or replace equipment that that might have been defective. They've always done very well.

The actual representative that came when I had my second install was really nice and very helpful. She came to my office and got everything set up. Also, whenever I call with something they're always quick to respond. Once you get with a system, there's so many other components that come with it, but I live in an apartment so I was only able to use two. So there are things I can't actually use.

They keep up with the times and I've had to upgrade when needed so I wasn't lost in the shuffle keeping older, outdated equipment. They have great customer service because someone always answers the phone when I had a question and they are just very responsive.

Service technicians were GREAT! very professional, fast, answered all my questions and cleaned up/move items back after installation. HUGE area of improvement needed - customer service. Had to call THREE times to get info on the alarm system/camera set up. I had 1 camera installed and asked for a second (tech said they'd call to schedule) but I NEVER received a call. I also asked for the total amt to be sent BEFORE installation and it never was.

when I call them I usually get a call back pretty quickly. I've had this system for a number of years. Recently, I've had a few problems in that sometimes when the alarm goes off, I don't ever get a call. I've been told that it's a problem with the cell tower. I have been thinking of giving up my land line, and if I do that then I will have to get rid of the security system because it goes by my land line.

The system we have is very dependable and easy to use. I've accidentally set off the alarm a couple of times and calls are made immediately to check and make sure I'm ok.

I'm not particularly thrilled with their charges for maintenance of the new system. The charge for someone coming out telling me that there's nothing wrong even though they can to tell me that is a problem.

LOUD has met all my expectations. I am totally pleased with the system that I have and would not want to update at this point. I am soon to be 89 years old and would be technically challenged with another system.

ByGeo Conyers, GA

They sent me a contract that was completely unacceptable. I found several issues with it and told them I would not sign. One issue I had was a 30-day prior notice of cancellation. Another was the contract stating it had the right to go on my property at any time to service or remove "their" equipment. I had paid for the equipment so why sign something that says it is theirs. I refused to sign the contract and expected that my dealing with them ended when I stopped paying for months in advance. They refused to provide me service without a contract. Still, they insist that I pay for services that were not provided. I offered a compromise to pay for 2 of three months that they failed to disconnect my service. I considered that my service ended, so in reality, I did not feel I should pay for any of the 3 months. I was willing to pay for 1 month just to give them 30 days, or 2 months if they provided me with an invoice for only 2 months. Their response so far is that I am lucky that they were not holding me to pay for more months, insisting on holding me to the contract I refused to sign or pay for.

This use to be a great company. My very expensive camera system they sold and install has had repeated issues. Three of my four cameras are not working and they can’t fix the issue. Won’t return calls, keep putting me off, no one gets back to you ever, this is going on four months. Horrible customer service no one that answered the main lines can get anyone to help. Run away from these guys seriously!

LIVING MY LIFE Mableton, GA

Poor customer service by Pam in the billing department. Her tone and inability to communicate my account status. Poor customer service in your maintenance department. I called and they didn't simply want to refresh the system or see what they could do in the office to test the equipment to see why it was not getting a call through the alarm service. Did not receive any notification or information about a new alarm monitoring company. There are a bunch of smart mouth, simple-minded employees working for your company.
