I was confused about the monitoring capabilities. I thought we had the capability to monitor and manage the status of the system with our cell phone and it turns out you have to upgrade to that for an extra $10 a month.

I was able to install them myself, so I didn't need a stranger to come in. Customer service was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. The devices are good quality.

Good customer service, however the touchscreen unit needs some upgrades, it's very basic and will not let you upload photos as it says it does. Only poor quality photos when most phones use 1080p these days.

No breakins since installed, so that's good. Overpaying for plan they sold me since I don't have/need/ or use crash and break, flood etc. Would like to have just basic monitoring

They are a good security company. It would be very helpful if they integrated with HomeKit or other smart home things, but their app is pretty decent.

My hub (main box) has malfunctioned 3 times. Although, the customer service tech took me through the steps and the problem was fixed, I was told the 1st 2 times that the problem should not occur again. It did.

Everything is wireless, and the customer service is really good. They're nice and friendly. However, the keypad is excessively big, and the door detection doesn't work on every door.

Any time I call in, they take care of me right away and give me good service. I had some bulbs that didn't work and they sent me out some more, but normally it all works fine.

They were very helpful in the first stages of installation. It is very efficient equipment, but the cables are everywhere so I had to drill holes in my wall to hide them.

It's very very difficult to get ahold of technical support during the week or weekend. The system is pretty reliable and even if I drop it, it still works.

The set up was really easy so I didn't really need to call anybody. Most of the components seems to work. Out of everything I have, I have one component that continues to fail.

They called one time in the middle of the night and one of our sensors had fallen off the wall and the alarm went off and they were just really nice about it.

I got a smoke detector and it keeps saying that there's smoke. And I guess the battery was dead but you can't change the battery because it's not like a regular smoke detector so I'll have to pay for a new one and I don't like that.

I called to ask for information because I didn't understand how to turn the camera on in my house and everyone seemed to say that I needed something but no one seemed to provide information that would make sense to me. The equipment is not self-explanatory. The only problem is that it's not very efficient. The sticky things fall off the windows all the time. There is always something going wrong and there is no one there to help assist you.

It is easy to do yourself. I have had to send some equipment back but they did replace it for me. Customer support had kind of a long wait. I think people who have multiple accounts should get a bigger discount.

The price, online reviews, and salesman were all really good. our biggest thing we don't like about them is their customer service. They don't have 24/7 support. We have had a couple of minor equipment malfunctions but overall we are satisfied customers. There are some bumps in the road but they have been good about working through them.

The only thing I don't like about the system is that you have to be billed automatically. The problem was fixed but I was charged 4times for the same month. Don't like someone else having access to my bank account.

I like the system overall.The app. is great. One big thing is the camera. When you are trying to speak and then hear what the person is trying to say there is a big lag and it is impossible to communicate.

We have had experiences with faulty products. Our smoke detector would randomly go off, and the chimes on the door would work only sometimes. Sometimes when you call customer service you will get a straight answer, other times they put you on hold.

From the initial point of sale, I was supposed to get certain discounts and free months and they still have not given me that. The camera goes out when it gets really cold and it's supposed to be good below zero.

I've been calling several times because it wasn't working properly. They let you install it yourself and some of the stuff that I put up on the way fell off and I can't get any help with it, so I really want to get out of this contract. If I would have known there was a contract, I wouldn't have signed it. The system isn't working properly. They should have better customer service with people coming out to check to make sure the system is working properly.

Terrible. They were deceptive when setting up the account, the sales guy sold me way more than I needed and did not inform me that in my area the police will not come to an alarm. Instead the alarm company will send a security guard at $50 or more to my property. Their customer service is 50/50 at best. You will either get someone who knows what they're doing or one who acts like they've never seen the alarm system before. They obviously don't train they're people at all. As soon as my contract is up I am canceling. I will NEVER go through this alarm company again, and if I could go back in time I never would have signed up with them in the first place. Truly a terrible company, I could never recommend them.

I have to rate front point only average. Their product is great but their people experience is terrible. When I installed this system I ran into a snag I didn't understand. I called front point and was told 'you install it yourself and don't call Me'. I was angry and still am angry to this day.

Their customer support is very good, they're easy to talk to and they don't lie to you; they tell you what it is that's it. The electronic from the equipment is very good. The sticker that used to hang them up they don't last very well they have the tendency to fall off and cause the alarm to go off.

I thought they were uniquely different. They really need to be able to help with installation, not everybody is able to self-install. Also whenever the WiFi is able to be compromised, security is compromised.
