Top Ranked Companies
The Good
- Powered by Alarm.com
- Home Automation Compatibility
Powered by Alarm.com
Lincoln American Electronics is an authorized dealer of Alarm.com, an industry leader in home security and automation technology. Alarm.com’s software is used in a variety of home security equipment and home automation devices including control panels, motion detectors, door/window sensors, indoor security cameras, outdoor security cameras, and more. This allows you to manage and monitor all compatible devices from one mobile app.
Home Automation Compatibility
In addition to home security systems, Lincoln American Electronics also offers home automation solutions. You can add smart lights, door locks, thermostats, and other devices to your home security system.
The Bad
- Undisclosed Information
Undisclosed Information
Lincoln American Electronics’ website provides very little information about its products and services. Anyone interested in purchasing a home security system from Lincoln American Electronics will have to reach out to the company directly for specific information.
Pricing and Contracts
Lincoln American Electronics’ website does not list any information about pricing and contracts. This is not uncommon in the home security industry. However, we encourage you to talk to sales representatives about specific contract obligations.
While the industry is starting to move away from long-term contracts, it is not uncommon to find 36–60 month service contracts. A major, industry-wide complaint among home security customers is feeling they were deceived into signing long-term contracts they can’t get out of. Be sure to read any contracts thoroughly before signing. Don’t hesitate to ask for clarification on anything that is unclear.
Equipment and Installation
Lincoln American Electronics’ website does not provide any information on the security equipment it sells, nor does it provide information on installation. Since the company is an authorized Alarm.com dealer, you can view compatible equipment on Alarm.com’s website.
Depending on the type of equipment available, professional installation may be required. This usually involves an additional fee. However, many home security companies offer free installation promotions. You will need to speak to a Lincoln American Electronics representative for details on installation fees.
Monitoring Options
The company’s website does mention 24/7 monitoring. However, it does not expand on this statement. Professional monitoring usually comes with additional monthly fees, ranging anywhere from $15–$40.
Be aware that many home security companies partner with another company to provide monitoring services. We recommend discussing monitoring services with the sales representative in detail. Make sure you know who to contact for assistance in different scenarios (e.g., triggered alarms, false alarms).
The Bottom Line
As an authorized dealer for Alarm.com, Lincoln American Electronics is able to provide industry leading technology and equipment. However, its website provides limited information on the specific security equipment and home automation devices it sells. Customers interested in purchasing a home security system from Lincoln American Electronics will not be able to compare its services to other companies without first talking to a sales representative.
As we do not currently have any customer reviews for Lincoln American Electronics, we recommend researching our top-rated home security companies before making a final decision.
