Our editor’s take on Alert 360

Alert 360 could be ideal for protecting commercial properties. Unlike a lot of home alarm companies, Alert 360 offers specialized security solutions for small and medium-sized businesses.

Business security solutions include 24/7 monitoring, reporting and insights, adaptive learning and smart integrations. Devices like cameras, control panels, thermostats and motion sensors are available. But, it’s worth noting that Alert 360 doesn't provide warranties or money-back guarantees on products.

Alert 360 packages

Alert 360 offers four home security packages. All come with a touchscreen control panel, smartphone app, yard sign and window decals. Additional wireless equipment per package:

  • Smart Door Lock Package: Includes a keyless door lock, motion sensor and three door/window sensors.
  • Smart Home Video Package: Adds an indoor camera, motion sensor and three door/window sensors.
  • Door Command Package: Comes with a keyless door lock, doorbell camera, motion sensor and three door/window sensors.

The company also lets you build your own system with additional equipment, including a garage door control, outdoor cameras, smart lighting and automation, smart thermostats and a network video recorder.

Additional services from Alert 360

Alert 360 offers several other options to protect your home and car, such as the Connected Car plan and the Flex 360 remote security sensor.

The Connected Car plan, which costs $8 a month, is an on-board diagnostic GPS tracker that monitors your vehicle’s location, shows diagnostic information and maintenance alerts, and sends alerts for excessive speeding, sudden acceleration, hard braking and other signs of unsafe driving.

Connected Car integrates with your Alert 360 system to help you create automated actions, such as having the lights turn on when your car parks in the driveway.

The Flex 360 remote security is a battery-powered sensor that provides real-time alerts for your property. Alert 360 states the sensor has an expected battery life of more than two years, and it only requires LTE cellular coverage — Wi-Fi is not required. The sensor lets you know instantly if someone is on your property and sends alerts if doors, windows or gates are opened or closed.

      Before I get to the actual review, a little background. We originally had Frontpoint Security, beginning in 2009. The monitoring was done by Frontpoint, but for some reason we never understood, the billing was done by Alert 360. We had an occasional issue, but nothing that wasn’t quickly resolved. We had a series of three-year contracts with Frontpoint, but since 2022, we have been on a month-to-month basis. In 2023, Alert 360 took over the monitoring. Frontpoint was now out of the picture as Alert 360 now did both the monitoring and billing. Things were not as user-friendly as with Frontpoint, but any issues were quickly rectified.

      Now for my review of Alert 360. Things were fine until February 2026, when we moved. We contacted Alert 360 via phone and email, alerting them that we were moving. According to both their website and people we talked to, someone from Alert 360 would contact us in a day or so. Sadly, we never received a call back. We send numerous messages via their website and called at least 6 times. Always the same response…someone will call in a day or so. Finally, after almost three weeks of trying, we just cancelled the service. Interestingly, after cancelling, someone did call to try to make amends, but it was too late.

      But the worst part was that I cancelled with an effective date of February 28, 2026. The next week, I noticed that we were charged for monitoring service for March, even though we no longer had service. I called and talked to several people while trying to keep my anger under control. I was told that the contract contained a cancellation clause that required a 30-day notice. I explained repeatedly that our last Frontpoint contract expired in 2022 and we had been on month-to-month service since. Therefore, we never had a contract with Alert 360. Sadly, it was like talking to a brick wall. I was irate that after treating us so poorly in attempting to move our service, we were now being penalized for something we thought was totally unfair based on a non-existent contract.

      In retrospect, this may have been the best thing to happen. We now have service with a very responsive company who seems to genuinely care. That company is ICU Protection. As for Alert 360, if I could give negative stars, I would, as the last couple of months of service with them were awful. Obviously, they do not care about retaining a long-time customer, as we experienced some of the worst customer service we have ever seen.

      On day one, there was a breach of contract on the behalf of the Alert 360 company. I was quoted an installation price of 130.00 less than what was originally quoted, and also a monthly charge of 33.00 less. After the fact that the sales rep helped me to cut cost by not securing some of the windows and doors I originally wanted to, so I could stay within my budget. That was the beginning of a red flag! After me making several calls, attempts/several workers who stated that they were supervisors and can get this problem resolved, have all pretended to review the original phone quoted conversation, stating that the lower price was not quoted to me. That was the red flag letting me know of the security company's integrity!

      For the next few days, I told several employees there has been a mistake. But to no avail, no one from the company was interested in resolving this issue. I have not used the service, I have not been monitored, because I don't use any of the equipment. I am requesting the company to please remove all equipment from my home. Please if anyone that reads this review, can give advise on how to resolve/report or this issue to upper management. Please contact me. Alert 360 you have all my personal information.

      Had been with them for years when a technician bypassed a sensor without our knowledge. Some months later we were broken into and because the sensor was not operational the thieves were allowed to operate undetected. Some 5,000$ in damaged. Management said not their problem. When I asked for additional sensors to offset I was told I would need to sign a new contract at a higher rate because of additional monitoring. That is simply not true. Tried to profit off their error. A few good people but management in Wichita is a joke.

      It seems the company trains his representatives to lie when talking about the contract. They do not explain at detail clauses such as the contract length. Mr Paul ** here in El Paso just said that one can cancel at any time if you are not satisfied but never explain about a three years contract and its consequences while trying to cancel that horrible service.

      Alert 360 took over from a previous company I was with. I was notified that there are no changes for the takeover. Months later one of my sensors battery was low. Alert 360 does not use the same senor that is already installed in my home. Next the main hub battery was low, I had to purchase the battery from them. Then a few months later, I get a bill from Alert 360 for about $16/17 more than I was paying. Wasn't notified that there will be an increase. I'm basically using outdated equipment. So, I'm on a new alarm service search.

I had a new system installed earlier in the week. This morning, I woke up and tried to turn off the alarm, but I could not because my password DID NOT WORK. I called them. "Ma'am, you don't have service with us. Ma'am, you are calling the wrong company."

      This went on for 20 minutes before someone said, "Oh yeah, you do," but it hasn't transferred over yet. NONE of it makes any sense. There is a problem with the entire system, the pad and the washing machine that share the same electrical plug. It is a royal mess. But guess what, it gets better....

      I regret the day I left ADT/Ring and received Alert 360. I literally hate this system! I informed the salesman specifically what I needed in this system which was a doorbell that would alert me when someone is approaching on my property before they get to the front door. I needed to see this on my phone and this salesman assured me that would be no problem. So, I got the system. Well, I don't get any alerts at ALL! And when someone rings the doorbell, it sounds like an out of tune very short version of a quiet instrument that is not loud enough to hear if I'm in another room. The doorbell on the Adams Family is better! I even asked if that's the only sound of this doorbell and the technician said yes. I don't like the security panel because I can barely hear the voice when I opened my back door.

      I would have to increase the volume super loud. I also informed this salesman that was not satisfied with this system and this was after a few days, but he said, I couldn't get out of the contract unless I paid it in full which is over $1K. So, my plans are to pay this contract off and go back to ADT. I would not recommend Alert 360 to anyone.

      Their customer service is the worst! I had no problems whatsoever when it was FrontPoint but as soon as it changed to Alert360 things went down the hill. FrontPoint always provided the panel's battery replacement and new sensors for free, forget about it with Alert360. Whenever I tried to contact them to get assistance or to talk to a representative it took me about 30 minutes to be able to find a phone number to call them. Once I had them on the phone their assistance was of no help, some of the agents were even curt and didn't see to care about my issue.

      For financial reasons I had to cancel the service, last thing I remembered I was told with FrontPoint that there were no contracts and could cancel at any time without problems. Well, since moving to Alert360 it seems that one is under a contract since you have to give them 30 days notice to cancel or else you will be charged.

      Since I cancelled at the beginning of September they charged me for the month, ok that's fine, but I gave them my notification before October and guess what?! They went ahead and charged me for the month with no service! Ha! I called them twice to get the charge refunded (the woman that answered was pretty rude by the way), last agent I spoke to told me the refund should've been made right away on my first call! He said the refund would be posted in my back account within 5-7 days...it's already half month and no amount has been refunded so I had to dispute the charge which is still in process.

The cameras they use are provided by Alarm Co and the the Alert 360 tech spent 2 days on the phone with Alarm Co trying to resolve the issue and they are still not working properly. Both Alarm Co and Alert 360 have blamed our issues on our ISP and have stated the distance between our ISP router and our cameras are the issue, which makes absolute ZERO sense because our doorbell and front camera also glitch and they are literally 10 feet from the router.

      We contacted Alert 360 to restart security monitoring services and repair the system in place. The agent never told us that as part of the signed service request we were signing a non-terminable 3 year agreement. Alert 360 is now trying to bill us for 3 years of service despite the system still not being fully operational. Beware of this company.

      I had service for 7 years at my office building. No real issues with service during that time. I sold the building and went about cancelling all services at it (utilities, internet, security, etc...). I was not under any contract with this company, but their "policy" is they charge for the month of cancellation (get it, it's prepaid and they will not refund) and then an additional month (no monitoring during this additional month). What company with good business ethics charges when they are not going to provide service.

      With every other service cancelled, charges ended at that point with the exception of this one. Ethical companies don't charge for services they are not providing. Unethical business practices cost companies far more than the extra month of charges they get for doing nothing. I made sure to tell the purchaser of the building to use any company but this one as well as I will go out of my way to share this experience with others. They got 1 extra month from me, but I will do everything I can to make sure that cost them more than the extra month

      I apologize for your dissatisfaction, Bill. We never want a customer to have a negative experience. What you've described is not reflective of the policies we have in place. We would never charge a customer without offering an option to provide security services for them. Unfortunately, I am unable to locate an account based on the information provided by Consumer Affairs. Please respond via private message w/the phone # or address on your account, so I may further research and work to resolve.

      I was able to get to the right person within the company and a fair outcome was achieved.

      Original Review: March 22, 2023

      I gave them ample notice about termination. I had it on my calendar and called and informed with 30 days before the end of my contract. Somehow, how "their records" indicated that I did not do so, and so they hit me with a $24.95 "buyout fee". If you do not pay this fee, then supposedly they reactivate your account and start billing you again. An honest company does not need this sort of income or tactics to trap / nickel & dime customers. Furthermore, they kept jacking my rates annually. If you like fine print, price increases and hidden fees, they may be a good fit. Otherwise, Stay away from Alert360/AMSA.

      Do not use this company! I lived in one state, got news my dad had terminal cancer in another state. Had to sell my house, move in with my mom and take care of dad. They were not very empathetic when I told them the situation and that I had to move out of state. They hounded me to keep paying. When I would not pay for services I was not using. They sent a collection agency after me. No one at Alert 360 was empathetic at all. I cannot reach the collection agency. All I get is voice-mail. THINK TWICE before using this company. Not to mention the amount of false alarms and times my window break alarm would go off for no reason. I would love to work out an arrangement but every time I call they say there is nothing they can do, I signed a contract and they have no termination clause. So DO NOT USE this company. All they care about is money.

      Alert 360 is always willing to work with our valued customers who may be going through a hardship. We have made every reasonable effort to resolve this matter amicably with this customer. Options were presented without any immediate out-of-pocket costs.

      This customer will need to reach out to the company that is currently managing their account, and correspond with them for any further information.

      So, after 3 properties broken into a whopping total of 6 times, I moved my family out of Lawton, Oklahoma and got rid of any association to this town. The sheriff did catch some involved, but LPD has even gone far enough to tell my alarm service they would not dispatch. No previous alarms at that location. The Last time I was there someone had broke into the house and went through mom's stuff and opened all the blinds, and the alarm system failed to operate again, (I believe Alert 360 is compromised more to that in a minute), as it was supposed to. I figured out how they got in and blocked the entry. They had joggled the garage door open.. and nobody saw nothing apparently. I barred it, and did not see anything missing. Went there today, and I guess I pissed them off by blocking their access. They apparently put their butt against the garage door and literally took a dump on it and let it fall to the floor.

      Literal human crap. They crapped on the garage door!!! And no one saw anything again?!? The literal insanity that has to be present in a person that could do such a thing is mind-numbing, but the garage door faces the street!!!! Seriously, and pardon my french, but wtf!!! LPD has been completely inept and outright useless in all of these. It is to the point why even call them. You have to do the paperwork yourself and there is never any follow though or as in the case of the most recent and one time in 2 to 3 years alarm system alert at this location, they just refuse to dispatch. The last two property break-ins have had functioning and one had top on the line upgrade within the last year.

      At one location caught on hidden camera the perps entered and exited for 3 hours a total of 6 people and alarm system with motion detectors did not go off until they were through, some 3 hrs after the initial break in. The latest is the same thing, a fully functional high end alarm system through the same company Alert360 with motion detectors fails to detect movement right in front of the detector where boxes were opened, rifled through, and blinds opened through the house.

      Several things going on here.

      I think the alarm systems are compromised and that means yours too if you are with Alert 360. 2. the police in Lawton have no serious interest in assisting homeowners in protecting their property. 3. when offenses do occur it is to bothersome for them to do the reports or even make a slight attempt at any follow-through. My best advice is to get out of Lawton as fast as you can because there is some serious funny business going on there. I also warn all Alert 360 customers, based on my experience through all of this I believe that company has been compromised.

      The Sheriff there did arrest some based on my own camera footage captured. I did get follow-through from them. Thank you. I have lost 10's of thousands at this point. Get out and avoid Alert 360. The only time their system worked is when police refuse to dispatch. I have went round and round with this company and all I get is cognitive dissonance. Either inept, or aware and not protecting their customers for whatever reason you can guess at.

      Alert 360 prides itself on industry-leading customer service and state-of-the-art equipment, and we never want a customer to have a negative experience. We have researched this claim based on the limited information received and have requested evidence of a loss such as an inventory list of items stolen, a police report, an insurance claim or any other form of documentation substantiating a loss. To date this information has been provided. We look forward to resolving this once we receive this.

      After years with this company and being elderly senior. They tried to push and force me to sign their 36 month long term contract! Tried to call and cancel but agents did nothing to help me with this, only to keep pushing the 36 month contract! Agent keep putting me on hold 10 minutes, then 15 minute, and another 5 minutes. After all that finally I said, "We just want to cancel service!" Then agent said we have to can't write them a cancellation letter? Plus allow them 24 to 48 hours for whatever reason? If you're with them now good luck trying to cancel with them! Very bad customer service and pushy agents! Going to report to BBB.

      Do yourself a favor and stay away from this company. I should have trusted my gut from the beginning. The installation process was horrible, the gentleman was at my house 'til about midnight trying to figure out what he messed up with our AC when we first moved into our new home. He was trying to install a smart thermometer but it seems to have outsmarted him so we opted out of that part. The house already had 2 touch pads and sensors on the doors and windows from the previous owner so there wasn't much that needed to be done. Finally, he's done and we can get some rest after a long day...wrong, the alarm went off on 3 different occasions in the middle of the night. Called them the next day to fix the issue and they sent the same installer back out. Well this happened for about a week straight until they finally got it fixed and we were almost delirious from lack of sleep just waiting for the alarm to go off.

      From there, we did keep the system for 2 years and it seemed to work ok. We moved homes and considered bringing the security system with us but had a horrible experience with a sales rep named Julie **. She had no idea what she was talking about and went back and forth on pricing compared to what I was already paying and basically was only trying to increase her commissions from what I could tell. When I asked her to send me the breakdown of what I was currently paying compared to what she was trying to charge me, she stopped responding for over a week. I called her and she pretty much treated me like garbage so I decided to end this horrible experience.

      I then reached out to a billing supervisor who I believe was named Lolita and she was extremely nice but informed me we could not terminate entirely but she would take 4 months off my contract to assist with the situation. Well, I should have gotten that in writing because with those 4 months discounted they should have stopped charging me last month. I got charged again today so I reached out to billing and got transferred to Sofie who pretty much called me a liar and said there was no way to transfer me to Lolita so we can get her side of things. I offered her the chance to at least discount these last two months and she told me to kick rocks.

      Don't waste your time with this company. Do the smart thing and go with a non-contract company like COVE or SIMPLI SAFE. They will do you so much better. I have now been with Cove for 8 months and don't have a single complaint and their customer service has been great. Alert 360 just tries to hold you by the throat and make you pay for your mistake of choosing them in the first place.

      Installed for 2 years with few problems. The APP can some time be a little confusing to navigate but all-in-all the service has been totally adequate. Occasionally we do have Z-wave communication problems due to the fact that all walls in our house are insulated with aluminum backed fiberglass. To fix this, they installed two Z-wave repeaters in two parts of the 2 story house.

      This company always quickly responded to our many false alarms. The actual alarm system is easy to navigate through and also has a nice appearance in our living room. The alarm matches with our decor. We also have a Ring doorbell and having both does really help us feel safe.
