This company is fraudulent. They served less than zero stars. I have never contracted with them and never received a bill or any services from them, yet today they mailed me a "termination letter" demanded 204.75 "balance due. They need to be prosecuted.

Thomas ** your technician came to my home today to address my low-battery issues with my system. He fixed the problem in the control panel and checked all sensors throughout the home to make sure everything was working properly. He was polite, professional and very knowledgeable and wanted to make sure he left me in tip-top shape. He worked efficiently and quickly. I highly recommend him and his services for Alert 360. I have been a customer of Alert 360 for years. I am the publisher of East Cobb Living and would love to recommend Alert 360 as the go to Security Experts for my community.

Only 1 star because none is not an option. I used this company in the past and was happy with them. This time is different. Customer service is horrible, Non-existent professionalism. 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 have to wait until the 10th of May to get someone out here or it will cost me a $125 additional fee. 8 more days to wait. The people on the phone are rude. Horrible. I wish I had never signed with these fools. The worst ever!

One star because negative ratings are not an option here! Upgraded our system last October and suddenly the payments sent via bank ACH were never recorded/ I kept getting emails that payment overdue, verified the payment address, account number, sent proof of payment and nothing happened! They have a new website/portal and I have to keep registering on it - every time I try to send a message to the support team! One rep told me their building in OK was affected by weather, next rep told me that was not true. They have an advanced billing center that probably God cannot reach!

IF I could give them 0 stars I would. I use to have Frontpoint security but ever since they merged with Alert360 when my alarm triggers, I get an automated message instead of an actual person calling me. I tried contacting someone at alert360 to address this issue but they just bounced me from one dept to another and nobody seems to have an answer to my issue. I don't recommend them for service.

My former spouse and I were told that in the event of exceptional circumstances (he knew he would be leaving) we could submit a letter and cancel our contract. Well, guess what - by "cancel" they mean the account is inactive - but I KEEP PAYING despite my not being able to transfer service due to living situation-- nor can I afford to keep paying for an expensive LUXURY service I can no longer use. I have called at least 6 times and have gotten the same answer. "Your account has been cancelled but you will continue to pay until the contract expires - 6 months of paying for a service I cannot use.

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.

I have been a customer for 9 years. I upgraded to a video door bell and integrated system when there was a special. I was unhappy to learn I would be locked in contract for 3 years and with an extended warranty of about $265 yearly on top of monitoring costs. Also $180 for cell phone use. Also this did not include fire alarm monitoring. My biannual bill is $ 529. This a ripoff and I cannot discontinue service for 3 years. Do not use this alarm monitoring service! Others are better.

If there was a way to put negative stars, I would. This company is a rip off. They have for the last 2 years taken their payment but my system has not worked for 2 to 3 years.

I've got my billing charged to a credit card I don't use for anything else. Now all of sudden I get 2 months behind, they say the card company is not letting the payment go thru. I've ordered another card and the 2 months was paid. Now, the issue is starting again. A payment gets paid, 2 months go by and another letter of nonpayment. I will get with another company when this contract is up.

We signed a 2 year contract with Central Security from May 2016 to May 2018 and gave them our bank information for automatic withdrawal. After our contract expired in 2018 we did not renew the contract when they called us. They kept withdrawing from our account with a different /new name Alert 360 without providing any service to us. They also kept increasing the charge every year. We had no clue on what is this charge. We disputed when we found out recently and requested reversal of all those illegal charges from 2018 to 2024. They only refunded 6 months and denied the rest of charges in spite of several calls and emails.

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. Please don't trust this people and their business practices, they will screw you up any chance they get and you won't see a penny if you are asking for money back!

We were hit by a massive hailstorm resulting in replacement of all our windows. Called Alert 360 to replace the sensors on new windows and were told that it was not possible to sensor the vinyl frame; thus none all 42 windows were no longer monitored. They refused to let us out of the contract with 1 month remaining. They continued to charge us for 5 months past the contract expiration and continue to harass by mail, email, phone calls. STAY AWAY from this company.

We’ve used Alert 360 for more than 3 years. We’ve had ongoing issues with cameras buffering and glitching. We’ve made multiple complaints and they’ve sent a tech to our home on multiple occasions and the issue is still not resolved. We pay well over $100 per month and the cameras are basically useless. 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. Would not recommend!!

Give me a break. Every time I deal with services for this house, I get people on the phone that are apathetic. This is Georgia, the back of my house faces the woods, and they drilled a hole for the back camera where the bugs find it all day every day. I don't have a ladder this high and wouldn't know what to fill the wall with anyway. This is a new house, I closed in October 2022, and I consider this damage installing the wire to the camera. They won't do anything about it which means I have to pay someone to do what they won't do. I'm so irritated by customer service reps who don't give a crap anymore. Post-pandemic has businesses lazier and more uncooperative than ever.

I called this company and asked them could they come and adjust the camera in the back of the house because I had installed a jacuzzi with a canopy and the canopy was blocking the view of the camera. So they told me they would charge me for adjusting the camera. That was last year so I had made up my mind then that when my contract was up I would not renew with them. So when I told them that I was cancelling when my contract was up all of a sudden they could move the camera but I would have to renew for three more years. I said no. Now my camera in front of the house is not working and they want to charge me to come out and see why. Do you think I want to be affiliated with a company like this. My contract ends next month.

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.

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.

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.

Thank you for your feedback Mr. Eric. At Alert 360 we pride ourselves on industry-leading customer service and clearly we did not live up to this standard in your case. We would like to offer our sincere apologies for any inconvenience we may have caused, and wish to thank you for speaking with us yesterday in order to resolve your concerns. Lolita has reported everything has in fact been resolved to your satisfaction and we trust we have exceeded your expectations with your account.

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.

We had our security through a provider that sold their accounts to Alert 360. They called and said they wanted to give us a free Nest thermostat since we were an established longtime customer to keep our service after they took over. They came and installed a thermostat and after they touched our existing service we have had continuous problems on a system that always worked before with the only change being the thermostat. Now, my driveway came, garage door, and other products never work. I cannot see my home on my app.
I have called them at least a dozen times. They come out and say it is fixed to have it go back to not working the very next day. They try to blame everything but themselves and the funny thing is that I never had one day's issue with the previous company that they bought out. I am sick of them debiting the payment for something that I am not getting. They breached their contract by not providing the promised service. I have contacted them to cancel my service three times and they say they have to get with someone and call me back which they never do. I am now convinced it is a scam. They get you in their contract and know that their service is crap. I am contacting an attorney as I am done paying for nothing and getting the run around. Do not use this service...you will regret it.
