Someone else recommended me to Frontpoint and told me how good they were. The system itself is very easy to set up. Their customer support was good at explaining the system to me, and their value money-wise is not bad.

We went with this security system because of its ratings. Their customer support does exactly what they need to do without any issues on my end. All of the equipment works like it's supposed to as well.

I signed up because they were rated top-tier, and they were a little bit cheaper than their competitor. But, I've had some bad experiences and I'm locked in a contract with them even though I want to leave them. Everyone is trained a little differently, no one answers the question the same. Some people there have a little attitude, and I thought that was kind of rude. There was a situation where an alarm went off and they called, and we told them it was a false alarm, but they had an attitude about that. I use them on my rental properties, so I was hoping they could give me a discount because I have multiple accounts with them, but they wouldn't do it. I talked to 6 different people one day and not one would give me an answer. The equipment is ok, it's all plastic and the siren isn't loud enough. The battery loses power and won't keep the panel running. They're supposed to call you when that happens, but no one ever contacted us about the lack of power.

Customer care is really nice, they were able to answer all my questions and clear my doubts. They even helped me install everything after I lost the instructions. I never have any issue with the equipment, but I do wish their products were more budget friendly.

The equipment is user friendly, I like that I was able to set the system up myself through instructions on their website. I became unemployed and they were willing to lower my payments for 3 months to help me out as well.

They tried to sell me a lot of extra equipment that I might not need. The equipment that I got seems reliable. The one concern I have is that every once in a while, we do something stupid that causes a false alarm and they don't even call us, which makes me wonder if they are even listening.

I wish it was actual buttons instead of a flat screen, because for some people with long nails it's hard, but it's not that big of a deal. Everybody is very helpful when I speak to them.

Always answer when I need them, the system feels safe with the cell chip instead of batteries or wired, I love the phone app to check if my system if I need to, and great customer service!

They will all ways answer the phone when you call and help you with all your problems. And I remember when I first gotten my system we didn't know how to position the sensors they helped us. They dependable.

I love the customer service, and the system works great, but it was a nightmare to install and is incredibly bulky and ugly. Also, there is no way to mount the keypad into my wall or hide the camera chords without spending an extra $1,000 on an electrician to run equipment through the drywall and make it look decent in my new home. There is also no way to have someone from Frontpoint help you physically install the system (they can only talk you through it over the phone), so you are on your own. I have been in my house for 2 months, owned my system for 3 months, and I just finished fully installing it (with the help of an expensive electrician). I should have gone with a company who installs the system, mounts it, and makes it look better aesthetically speaking.

My experience with them has been pretty good. They are always really quick to help and they stay on the phone as long as needed to walk you through things. They also provide you with honest information about the product and whatever else you might need.

The previous owner of the house had left their sign behind, so we decided to give it a try. I guess it's good but I keep having some issues with the sensors. The alarm just keeps going off because of my cat, I've got to call them about that.

Their equipment is older. After I got it I went back and researched a bit more about what other companies were offering. I saw a lot of really good digital kind of equipment available. Frontpoint is still using analog so I really think they should upgrade. The monitoring and equipment are both very costly too, especially if you consider what it costs and what they provide. They either need to reduce the price or provide more equipment and service.

I looked at several security systems and like them the best. It's a very reasonable and affordable system. The equipment was all easy to install and simple to attach. Every time I call them, they respond.

They are extremely helpful when troubleshooting issues. The one problem I've had is that the camera is very sensitive to fog, snow, and rain, so it sets the alarm off when there's any of that. Inevitably, I've had to unplug it whenever there's a snowstorm.

I was looking to switch companies and since their system was easy to use and a little more reasonable I signed up. I had a whole lot of trouble getting everything installed though. Maybe I didn't have the right information or asked the right questions, but they were always there to try and help me.

I went with them because they gave you the option to pay by month. I thought that was easier than what other companies offered. I ended up regretting it though. I had to install everything myself and now I'm tied to a 3-year contract with them that I cannot just cut off. If I'm given the chance, I'll switch to another company. I'd just rather have another system that lets me see who rings my doorbell as soon as they do. This one can't do that.

I had to get involved with customer support in the beginning. They just seemed to know their stuff well. I'm happy with the service, though the design of the system is clunky and kind of ugly. I also think that the price for the monthly service is too high.

The system seemed to be the most modern and open to integration with home automation, that's why I decided to go with it. They should be even more open to third party automation, the system would benefit from integration with apple home. They've always been super responsive, considerate, and detailed in their responses.

Customer service is very good and the process of installation is very easy, but their doorbell camera needs an upgrade. Even with a WiFi extender less than 8 feet away from it and the original WiFi equipment not more than 20 feet away, it has problems recording sometimes.

Given the research that I did, they were the best service overall. Customer service is good but not perfect. Getting it all set up was a bit of a hassle since there were a couple of glitches. I've had a lot of disconnection problems with the equipment, but eventually it all worked.

The most important reason I chose them was that it didn't require me to have a long contract. They have been very responsive, we have had no delays in communicating with Frontpoint. The equipment does its job, there's really nothing extraordinary about it. It gives me some peace of mind though.

The equipment is good. For the most part their customer support is good, but we did have a bit of a problem at one point. There was just a lot of misinformation going around and things got confusing. They tried their best to make it right and things turned out ok.

I've had the system for about 3 months now. I got it because of the cost, the easiness of setting it up, and the fact that it included cameras. Customer service seems to be helpful, but they don't really have 24/7 technical support. That didn't help when we had some issues with the camera.

When I got it I liked that the company didn't really pressure me into buying the product. Their technology and all the stuff they have, in terms of monitoring and such, is very reliable too. The only thing is that there are a couple of options and functions that I wish the machine could handle, but it can't.

I was looking for something cheaper than what I had, so I went with Frontpoint. I had an issue with one of the sensors. The thing was mostly attached to the wall but the cover, the one with the magnet, that fell off. When I called about it they wanted to charge me even though I had just gotten the system.

Need more camera options (Power over ethernet, outdoor ratings, 4k, night vision, etc). Need more monitoring equipment (ability to have multiple keypads, multiple speakers (if I'm in the garage I want to hear the door chime clearly instead of hoping to hear it over outdoor noise and interior walls)). I love the app. Would like true silent arming. I don't want to hear any beeps. I hate waking my wife turning the alarm on. Customer service is always nice.

So far, their representatives have been pretty well. They reply the emails pretty quickly, and the wait time is quick as well. Plus, it wasn't hard to install the system. Actually, the reason I chose them was because they had good reviews and offered a reasonable price.
