I have been with SafeTouch since 2006 and they have always been there when I called and took care of my problem right away either by phone or sent a technician out. Replace
batteries as needed and when I moved they sent someone out and took the equipment and moved it to my new location. They just recently replaced my panel. I have had a few times that I have had to wait over a week to get someone out. But I would recommend them to all my family and friends.

So far so good. Ive had the system for over 2 months. I have not experienced any issues and the peace of mind I get at night while I sleep makes it worth it to me. I wouldn't trust DIY systems as they are targets for burglars and not worth it. I spend $46 a month which includes camera monitoring, my smart home features and some great equipment. ADT has long term contracts as well so while I didn't want to sign 36 months either, I knew for a legit system I would need to regardless with safetouch or elsewhere. Safetouch service has been prompt and effective for me so far!

I have had SafeTouch since 2012 with few, if any problems until now. For the last few months, the keypad has an alert that one of the zones is not working, which causes an incessant beeping. The resolution offered was to disconnect that zone until someone could come out. First tech "fixed" wrong zone, second figured out which "zone " was bad. Now my alarm has gone off in the middle of the night, twice, saying that a zone has been "tampered" with. Out of concern for my neighbors, and our sleep, I am not alarming my house. The senior tech that came out today feels that the system is antiquated and needs an "upgrade". He is probably correct, but informed me that the "lifetime" warranty has expired.
What I love(d) about Safetouch is the immediate human response. Now I am told that my intercom is "garbled" and I have to be contacted on the phone. I am currently looking at alternatives.

I called SafeTouch because I had some sketchy people come to my door soon after buying my first house.
They sent a sales agent to my house and I was excited to get everything set up until I saw the 5 years this guy said nothing about on the contract. He dejectedly offered me a 3 year contract which I accepted.
Now, about 2 and a half years into the contract, I completely regret getting the system set up in the first place. I have a roommate with his own schedule, they have a dog and it's hard to keep the system armed at any point of the day.
Sure enough though, SafeTouch is forcing me through to the end of the contract like 6 months from now. Locked into a $50.47/month contract with no way out. Even if I sold the house tomorrow, they would still get all their money from me. $50.47 multiplied by 36 months is $1,816.92. I do not remotely think it was worth it.
What a ridiculous way to keep customers around in the year 2022. I would never recommend ANYONE to be locked into a contract because circumstances may change.

The system was installed in the house I purchased in 2017. The installation went pretty smoothly and I had no major complaints with the system's hardware. The doorbell camera they install has a limited capacity of videos and does not support auto deleting the oldest videos. The real trouble came in when trying to disconnect. Nothing will make them relent, not selling your house, moving because of military orders, etc. nothing else I can think of will get you out of your contract. I just had to pay about $300 to make them go away and, and for that I received no value except for deactivated hardware installed in a house I no longer own. They also make cancelling extremely hard requiring correspondence and a conversation with a "retention expert". This company can go straight to he11. They'll never get my business again, and I'll recommend against their service to anybody who will listen.

I installed a new safe touch security system (replacing/upgrading) my previous Safe Touch system. From the time it was installed August 2019, to now end of Sept. , it has not worked correctly. The response from Safe Touch has been worse than bad - they don't care. I spent weeks trying to get them to come out. They did after I finally was able to contact the local (Orlando, FL) office (that required a great deal of effort because Safe Touch makes it almost impossible to contact someone locally) - but the problem resurfaced the day after they left. I finally got a visit scheduled for 10/31 (8am - 10am). No one showed up - I contacted them and was advised the time was now 3pm - impossible because my wife and I could not be here then. I told them it was urgent because we were leaving the country on 11/8. They said they couldn't get here until, maybe, late November. Think about it - "impossible to find time to schedule a maintenance call in the next 7 days?" I was told they couldn't rearrange anything on their schedules because ALL of the other maintenance calls were requested before mine. ….. Is that "customer Care"? "Customer Service" It's a joke.

Excellent customer service, dependable, and when a monitor would malfunction they were their to fix it the next day. Never a charge for replacing a failed monitor. I recommend Safe Touch to my friends and family.

How does this company get away with the blatantly false advertising? Now, they are advertising that the reason that there are so many security videos circulating is because they aren't "Safetouch" cameras that are "event driven". Please provide us a video taken a minute before a crime occurs and this would suffice as proof. All of Safetouch company's competitors cameras are event driven as well. Mine - very inexpensive, compared to Safetouch, Netgear Arlo, sends me an SMS text as soon as motion is detected. The zone can be configurable to whatever size and location it is told to. Please provide some evidence stating what is improved in Safetouch cameras in relation to your competitors, such as Arlo.

Please fully read the contract!!!!! First of all I wasn’t aware there was a 3 year contract with an additional 2 years no one tells you about if you don’t do a written cancellation in certain period of time after cancellation date. So I’m stuck paying 19 months for a service I no longer have but I’m definitely not willing to stay with this company after speaking to who they consider customer retention at corporate who had the worst attitude of anyone I’ve ever spoken with there. But this is definitely a lesson learned I don’t care how long it takes from now on I’m gone put my glasses on and sit and read everything word for word or you won’t be getting my signature. DON’T LET THESE SALES REPS RUSH YOU THROUGH THE PROCESS READ EVERYTHING SO YOU DON’T GET TAKEN BY COMPANIES LIKE THIS PERIOD!!

The customer service is a joke. I should've made my research before signing with them again. I was a customer for 7 prior yrs and never had an issue. They changed their phone carrier and all of a sudden they can call my number because is considered an international number. And nobody communicated this with me. It took that the system got activated and the cops came to my house and knock on my door. When I contacted customer service they said "oh you have to wait until Monday because it is Friday and nobody works on Friday's...Oh and by the way apparently it is my fault.....no lady it is your company's fault that changed their phone company....HELLO...… Oh and BTW you are in contract. I don't care, you changed the rules not me....either fix the issue with your phone carrier or return me my money. I use to think they were a good company, obviously not anymore. Will not recommend them to anybody.....ever.

BEWARE 1st time HOMEOWNERS DO NOT USE THEM!! We have used them for over 10 years and decided to buy a home in another state due to life changes. Well little did I know that when your in Contract NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS IN LIFE they SAFE TOUCH will still charge you for the monthly service. All they care about is there money and NOT people and what is going on in there lives. They have a statement in the contract that states that pretty much THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT THE PEOPLE BUT WANT TO TAKE THEIR MONEY!! So if your in contract DO NOT RENEW GET OUT WHEN YOU CAN !!! Safe Touch stated it not there fault I decided to move and I should get in touch with the new owner to get an account with them then I will be released PRETTY SNEAKY cause they want to get the new homeowner and she is military locked in with their contract!! READ RESEARCH OTHER COMPANIES OR INSTALL YOUR OWN!!!

If I could choose no stars I would.
Buyer beware. If you buy the equipment outright, Safetouch will change the master code (they call this their “programming”). This will then prevent you from using the equipment with any other company because they refuse to give the customers the master access code for your own equipment. This is not the code for setting and turning off your system, but another code. No one else can access your system without this code unless you want to go thru a bit of IT witchery and purchase another device to “read” the code. The cost is not $30.00 per month but a bit over $ 40.00

I started working with SafeTouch in March 2019 everything was good but unorganized. However I spoke to Management and let them know I was moving and they said it was ok as long as I was in the office by 7 so it was a relief for me to know I wouldn’t be homeless, a week later A new manager Carlos comes in to replace the manager that’s there, I also let him know I was moving and that I was given permission before I wrote a 2,000.00 check for my house, Thursday I was in his office speaking to him about it he said it was fine because someone else travels an hr and 45 min which is a longer drive than mine, and also I was fine because he was told I was a good Technician, Because of his attitude 3 technicians gave their 2 week notice he told me that in his office and asked me if I was leaving I said no I’m not going anywhere I have bills to pay he said ok great I’m gonna make it worth your while and I said ok no problem. While we were standing in the warehouse he asks me if i’m Puerto Rican I said no I’m Italian so he said oh so you don’t speak it, I said no i’m White (Italian) I don’t speak it or understand it, mean while everyone in the office speaks it in front of me making me very uncomfortable ! So Friday goes by and we are off the weekends come monday I was terminated supposedly because I was moving but this new manager who is a US Army Reserve terminated myself and another white Technician and hired another spanish Technician, However I never had a warning for anything at all and I am the first one at the office everyday.
I’m thinking I was terminated for being white and not hispanic, because he terminated two white techs for 1 spanish Tech 🤔. At this point I may speak to someone about this, it could be an attorney or it could go to the news.

Safe Touch is very popular in my are and I can see why. I would recommend this service to someone who wants something more reliable than the online DIY home security systems that are available today. It may be more pricey but you get what you pay for. The crooks motto is stay away from safe touch houses!

I have been a SafeTouch customer for nearly 20 years. There service has always been 10+.
I just called for service because a fire sensor is constantly chirping. The repair person said to remove the cover the see if it stops. It set the alarm off because it thinks the system is being tampered with.
The first available appointment is not for another week.
What happened to me being a “valued customer”?
This is UNACCEPTABLE.

This company has the worst customer service. I have been trying to get them to shut off my equipment immediately and terminate my service since yesterday. My system has been beeping since Friday. I followed the termination directions given to me. My system still beeps and my account has not been terminated. I have tried calling all of the SafeTouch numbers I could find, to no avail. I just want to terminate my service!!!! And the system continues to beep. I will absolutely recommend to others to NEVER use SafeTouch.

Having a live person from anywhere in your home to talk to is very reassuring. If you are unable to call for help they can. Within 90 seconds average.

They were very efficient when it came time to sign the contract or set up the equipment and even worked with me on evenings and weekends. However, when time came for them to come by to replace the low battery in the display or find out why the internet connection was faulty, they only had hours during the work week, which I initially was told they are flexible, plus they try hard as hell to walk you through fixing issues yourself over the phone, instead of sending a technician out. Ummm. what am I paying you people for?? Horrible company.

I just bought security cameras that I pay $6.00 a month. It only offers 1000 clips then shuts down til the next month. The clips only last less then 24 hours. I paid 259.00 a piece for them and have called them to complain that they are useless. They have said the cameras are mine now and they really don't care how useless they are. If I want another system I can pay 2300.00 and they will not take my cameras back I am stuck with them.

Be Aware!!!!.. Be Aware of this company and find somewhere else that value their customers. All they care about is charge you every month and keep you stuck with contract. Do not worry! They will find tricky ways to keep you pay even your contract end. Very rude managemnt

DO NOT USE. Not a trustworthy company.
SafeTouch is not a company that tells you the truth. I had asked for one year and wound up with three but wasn’t aware until I called to disconnect. I thought all was good then they billed again. I called and that’s when I found out it was for 3 years.
