The Bad

  • No Equipment Warranty Information
  • Automatic Renewal Clause

The company does not disclose information on its corporate website on any included equipment warranties. If no manufacturer warranty is available, customers will be held responsible for parts replacement and service call costs. Customers are required to sign service agreements, which may be automatically renewed upon expiration. Service areas are limited to an area of three states. It is also unclear whether customers will need to pay for equipment upfront or if the cost is rolled into the monthly monitoring fee. There is no pricing information offered on the company's website on costs for equipment or system upgrades. The company does not appear to offer video doorbell camera surveillance in its home automation program.
