"I self installed our FrontPoint system. It went smoothly and my questions were answered efficiently and professionally by the FrontPoint staff. I would highly recommend FrontPoint as a home security system."

".After our home was broken into in January 2014, I was motivated to install a security system. I asked my family about the services they use, and several people warned me about the small print in most contracts, and how tough it is to get out of contracts. Angie's List was running a special with Security One/Safe Home Security systems; they are highly rated, so I bought the special. I am very pleased with the level of customer service: they responded quickly via email or phone to all of my questions. Their technician guided me on the doors & windows to select for motion sensors. I am able to track disarming of the security pad by user via email, which means an email pops up whenever my kids come home/disarm the system. I am also able to track arming/disarming via their mobile app, or use the mobile app to arm/disarm the house. The monthly payment plan is affordable & there are no contract surprises/changes written in. They also guide me on things I would have forgotten, like registering my alarm system with the local police. I appreciate their guidance and service.

"I responded to a flyer that I received from ADT as I had been thinking  about installing a security system for extra peace of mind as I am a single woman living alone.  It sounded like a deal that was too good to pass up.  I did not realize until I did some research later that ADT subcontracts all of their installation out to local providers so I am not sure which parts of this review should be directed at ADT vs Protect your Home...who provided the installation service but it is clear that their business practices have  common core and most of my interaction has been with Protect Your Home.  Apparently, after 3 months Protect your Home is no longer responsible for my system and after some research I am starting to wonder what will happen when ADT becomes responsible for addressing any issues with my system if there is no local service provider.
Here's an overview of my experience. It was easy to set up the appointment and the installers arrived right on time.  I want to state that my low grade has nothing to do with my overall experience with the installers who came out and installed my system.  They were friendly and courteous and very professional in completing the install. Nor am I dissatisfied (for the most part) with the system that has been installed. However, the reason that I would not recommend Protect your Home is that I  do have a problem with the sales tactics that they use which I have to believe come via ADT and then through the local installer Protect Your Home.  I was definitely oversold and my monthly premium is too high and much higher than I was initially quoted.  I am also locked in for 3 years which is  too long and should be unnecessary if your product is worth the cost. I believe there are better ways to set up business practices so that your salespeople are not so dependent on the commission they receive from a sale.
After evaluating my home my installer did some neat number tricks (this is sarcasm) to give me an estimate that was supposed to convince me that getting the highest upgrade was actually going to be the best deal for me after all of the credits had been applied.  I didn't really buy it but at that point I didn't completely understand all the components and the implications.  I was also prepared to invest in a security system and could also see the value in most of the parts of the system.  I ended up agreeing and the installation was completed that night.  I'm not sure what would have happened if I had asked to think about my options...my installer was a smooth talker and knew how to take advantage of me as a single woman.  Over the next few days as I reviewed the contract and started using my system I realized that I did not need the security camera or the supposedly handy clicker for disarming and arming the system that was supposed to be a bonus but was listed at $150 on my invoice.   The clicker is pretty much useless if you go with the Pulse system and can control the entire system from your iPhone. I also thought my monthly premium was higher than it should be.  I called ADT to inquire and the rep told me that I could return any equipment for a refund for 30 days.  I was also quoted a monthly rate that was lower if the camera was returned.  They set up an appointment for my installer to come out to collect the equipment that I did not want.   However, when the installer came back out he contradicted the information that I had received from ADT.  At that point I didn't argue and didn't want to deal with the frustration of navigating between all these parties so I kept my camera, my unused clicker, and have a higher monthly premium than I believe I should have.
As a customer I would be much more likely to recommend this company if you set up your practice so that your salespeople came out for an initial evaluation and clearly explained the options and pricing. THEN, gave the customer time to consider the options and choose the system that best suits their needs.  Yes, it takes more time but now that I have done some additional research I understand from first hand experience why ADT has lost credibility to other home security providers.  Until this changes I would recommend that anyone looking for home security system do their research before setting up an appointment with ADT based on their name value alone.
Finally, I also have yet to receive my $100 VISA gift card which required extra hoops to jump through in order to have it sent out.  I sincerely hope that both companies consider their business practices and make some changes or I definitely be considering another company when I move and/or at the end of my contract."

"How did it go?  Not very well.  Everything is great until there is a break-in or your equipment malfunctions.|Break-in Nov 2013 while I was on vacation 2,000 miles away.  I had them dispatch police.  They said they'd call back with status.  They never did.  I had to call them.  They had no record of who they spoke to in the PD but just assumed that since they heard nothing back that it was a false alarm.  Neighbor went to the house and found the garage door broken into.  I called the Protect America to find out who they spoke to in the PD.  They said "we don't keep that information,  call the Police Department."  Police department said they never got the call.  Filed a police report.  ||When the equipment malfunctions or goes off-line, they have an "oh well" attitude.  I've written to the CEO, Todd, about their attitude with "sorry about that" reply.  Recently called when equipment failed at 2AM on holiday.  Got the response that "we only respond during normal business hours" so call back then.  When I called back, they only had a limited staff on hand and promised they'd call me back in 1 - 2 hours.  They didn't call back.  I called the next day and was told they would "try" to connect me with level 2 support.  I insisted on waiting and finally got help.  Diagnostics took 1 hour over the phone (tech to my home costs 175 per hour) or "do it yourself" talk to tech.  Told me to go to Radio Shack to buy and install expensive batteries and see if that solves it.  If not call them back.  Sold me batteries w/3 to 5 business day delay.  They have no sense of urgency in helping me protect my home.  The attitude seems to be "oh well.  That's your problem."  Unresponsive, uncaring, do not keep promises.|I have a 3 year contract that must be paid in full to terminate.  Lesson learned.  All the ratings I read before I signed up said they were the best in customer service.  If they are the best, I hate to think what the others are. As I said, I've written to them and recently related my experience and dissatisfaction in my response to their survey.  They just don't seem to care."

"The reviews are right on point, the best security system for the ease of install and service after your system is up and online."

"LOVE this system!  Customer service was extremely nice and made my experience effortless.  Speaking of effortless, the self-installation was super easy.  It took me less than 30 minutes from start to finish to get my system up and running.  Highly recommended!"

"very helpful and friendly customer service. Professional work"

"My husband and I needed a home security system for our home, so after a little research we inquired with Safe Home Security. Frank promptly answered all questions we had and signed us up for service and installation. We were given an appointment the very next day. Two installation guys showed up in an ADT wrapped work vehicle, on time and they knew what they were doing. They were friendly and also quite efficient . They answered all our questions, installed the system and programmed it and helped set up the app on our phones as well. All in all great experience and It feels good to have the system working and our family and home now protected.â â"

"It was good work, but there was a problem with the Billing. It was cleared up by the company after a few calls. But help from you was so poor and no help. Could only chat on line and not with a person on phone. Found out the only to do that is to pay for it. That really sucks and got bad info from person on line. We love using this site services and have on many things, but to have to pay to talk to a person on phone is really BS."
