    My wife and I bought a place and we have never had any security service in the past. And so she was interested in me looking into them, so I started looking into a whole bunch of different options and then I eventually settled on Frontpoint. However, setting up their device was not as easy as I was expecting it to be. They’re little battery powered things that we stick around the house but they’re quite sensitive to how they’re positioned. And because people like door frames or walls, it just might not always be laid out in a way that’s easy. It was very hard for me to find spots where these things fit properly. I’ve had many interactions with their reps on the phone and they're always very friendly, not always super knowledgeable though.

    Unexpectedly, the thing that I liked about it was we had a whole bunch of renovations done on our place over the summer and it was cool to use the system to know when the guys arrived, when they were on the second floor and when they were leaving. It was nice to keep an eye on our house without being there. So that was fun and that’s outside of the security function which I like. It’s nice to have. On the other hand, I’ve experienced numerous problems with the system and it’s very hard for me to reach anybody who doesn’t just want to troubleshoot the problems with me. However, to their credit, I like that they’re trying to fix it, but some things are not fixable. There are things I’d like them to change and it’s very hard to relay that feedback to them.

    I had a panel go bad and the new one doesn’t do well in my area going through the cell towers. I might have to switch to Comcast just because they can keep it going. I go on seasonal and whenever I do, I don’t have internet. If I go with Comcast, they’ll keep the internet on so the system can still work. The only thing I use with Frontpoint is their thermostats. The interactive feature is good when it works but it's giving me a problem. Customer service got my issue all squared away for now because the internet’s back on right now.

    It was pretty easy to install my Frontpoint system, except that I don't have flat door frames or a window frame, so putting on those little sticker things don't apply if I have groove or neat door jambs. Right now I have a $0.26 sticker that keeps falling off because I can't just glue it to a flat surface next to the door, so I have to get a new one and call them.

    I like the price-point, equipment, and ease of installation of Frontpoint. Their team was quick to call us the other day when our alarm went off. We didn't realize that there was a door ajar when we set the alarm. The device gives me more peace of mind. However, I need to be able to record the camera on a network drive when it's activated because otherwise, I know who's coming and going except for what gets recorded up on the website.

    I first heard about Frontpoint through my son, then I did a little research. It looked like a decent program so I decided to go with them. The installation went very well. When the alarm was set off one time, I was able to talk their customer service and they were good. It was a false alarm, since it was my son who came in and didn’t know the code.

    Frontpoint's price was decent and I could set their system myself. Installation was easy-peasy. Everybody I've talked to with the company has been wonderful. Anytime I've needed something, somebody has always taken care of me and helped me. And I really appreciate everybody's kindness and hard work. My only complaint is their response time. When the alarm goes off, I don't like how long somebody waits before they call the department. I'm not a big fan of the delay in between the time the alarm is tripped and the time it gets called to somebody. I understand it's there to try and get rid of false alarms but in the heat of the moment and something going on, there needs to be a faster response. Apart from that, everything's good to go with Frontpoint. I've been satisfied and it's been excellent though they may wanna lower that bill somehow. But I've recommended it to my co-workers.

    I went with Frontpoint Home Automation because I saw online that it was rated top amongst everybody. Also, I liked the idea that I could do the install myself. Installing it was easy to do. I feel easy knowing that there's an alarm on the house for when I'm away. There was a time when our credit cards were caught up in some fraud number so we had to get new ones, and their customer service reps were courteous and kind calling to ask for our new credit card numbers.

    It would be great for somebody that kicks in the door and they hear an alarm. They'd go, “Oh, God. I better get out of here.” But it doesn’t sound the alarm to anybody more than somebody from the first floor. It's not very loud. I quite like it if I stand next to the device, but in the middle of the night, I want something that’s gonna wake me up too. Like one day, I was doing some work on the door jamb in the house. I popped the molding off. After we set the alarm, the molding again fell off and we're in our bedroom and were like, “What is that sound?” We could hear something but it wasn’t very loud.

    I did some research online and Frontpoint was one of the top rated companies so I looked into it a little bit more and I liked everything that they had to offer. I've been using them since summer and their people have been really nice and helpful every time I talk to them. Every call has been really great and they were really professional and always helped me to feel like I was important. My spouse installed the system and he said it was fairly easy but he had a little bit of a hard time trying to mount the magnetic pieces on the door frame because there was some unevenness there. Then on July 4th, somebody broke into my home and it was nice to have the system because it scared the burglar off. I appreciated that because I didn't have money to pay my bill that month but they kept it running. I would recommend Fronpoint.

    Frontpoint got consistently high ratings from every source I could find and none of the other security providers were anywhere near as good. I've had them for almost a year at one place and less than a year at the other. I'm very satisfied with them so I repeated. One error that I remember making during my first installation was my own. I stuck my little magnet things up in the corner diagonally because that’s the only way they would fit on the molding in my door. Frontpoint sent me some replacements, so I put the replacements up.

    The other minor glitch that I've had is so minor, I haven't even fixed it at my end. I had trouble with one of my receivers at an entry point not getting its signal to the central control unit, so Frontpoint sent me a long range transponder and I still haven't put it up. I just moved the whole unit to a more potential spot and I’m fine with that. They're vastly superior to anyone else I've ever dealt with in both technological and service respects and I've recommended them repeatedly to other people.

    Frontpoint has been easy to work with and talk to. I enjoy the website and I’m happy with the arrangement. Installing it was quite easy, just follow the directions. I was really impressed with how quick everything went and how foolproof it was. I had some change of directory information and I spoke with someone about 11 months ago and that went very well.

    I feel more secure since setting up the Frontpoint security device. However, the contacts don't want to stick. I called them about it and they sent us some new strips and told us to use some glue. So, if we ever move, I don't know how we'll get them off.

    A friend of mine told me about Frontpoint and I've been using them for about a year and a half now on my second home. I feel secure because I’m not there very much. I’ve had a couple alarms go off and it’s because the batteries were low. The only thing is that I would like some type of notification once the police are sent out and let me know that there was no incident or issue or that they caught somebody. I had an alarm over the weekend and it was really early in the morning. They sent the police but there was no follow up so I couldn’t fall back to sleep and I was worried to death. Other than that, I’m satisfied with it.

    I've been with Frontpoint for a year. The Frontpoint team helped me get everything set up, and then helped me when I was having some issues with the door sensors that are not recognizing that the door was shut. It would say it was open when it was shut. We got that resolved. They sent some new sensors. And then, I’ve had to have my system rebooted a few times. When I called them, they helped me go through it.

    I check the system a lot with the app on the phone. Since having the system installed, I feel safer for my kids when I’m not at home and they are. Overall, my experience has been very good. The only negative is that the hardware isn’t the greatest. I’ve had to reboot it, and the last time I rebooted it, two wires came unattached and I can’t get them back together. I’m very sure it’s the glass breakage sensor but it seems like everything else is working.

    I wanted a wireless security service so I got Frontpoint. Some of the doors were easy to set up but I had a couple of steel doors that meant extra cushion between the door and the device, but they sent that to me and I haven't had any problem. In this whole process, I left a door out because I was getting a new door. So, when the new door came, that's when it wasn't showing that it was connecting correctly and they had to send me sticker cushion. It all happened very quickly and they were always friendly and able to walk me through anything I needed to have done.

    I like that there's a phone app that notifies me if something isn't right or that I can check, and that if I'm away from the setup box and I had forgotten to set it at night that I can just use my phone to set it up. I called them once to ask if I could paint our white devices and they said I could and that's been great because now I don't see those white things on the brown woodwork.

    We've had Frontpoint as our home security service provider for a year and we had alarms going off, whether it be a door opening or one of the kids not knowing how to turn the alarm off or on. And the Frontpoint team contacted us immediately, so that was good. Also, at first, we had a keypad that was very analog-ish, old then they gave me a digital touchscreen keypad with no charge and it’s better than the first one. I would recommend Frontpoint to other people as far as with my interaction with them and them helping me with the equipment. But they should try to work something out to where I could get two to four cameras set up around my perimeter of my home, to help better secure my place, and maybe even have it interacting with the cellphones and tablets, where we could access the cameras from wherever we are.

    We had a home security provider a few years ago and I wasn’t crazy about it. Then we went a few years without any security before having Frontpoint and we've had them close to a year to date. The old system doesn’t compare very well to Frontpoint. My husband set up the system and he didn't scream and cuss so it wasn't too bad. We have our own camera security and we paid $600 for the entire system. We had looked into getting wireless cameras but the price was ridiculous and made no sense, so we went and got our own system.

    I searched for home alarm systems and I looked for reviews online and found out about Frontpoint. I've been using them for a year and a half now and there wasn't a big installation process. I didn't need to have somebody come in there to install it. I did it myself. I have the monthly contract and their equipment is like a simple cell. The rep that sold it to me was a super nice girl. Though there wasn't enough explanation surrounding the size of the property and how the initial monthly fees only covers 10 different segments of the property as opposed to more. So I got a lot more that I need to monitor, but I haven't done it because of the additional cost. But other than that, I did not have any problems with the installation and I've never called them back.

    I got a lot of cameras around the house, but I use Nest in the kids rooms so I can interact with them in another room. Then I use a link hub for the automation on my lights which I can connect through Frontpoint if I want it to. Their response time is great whenever we trip it ourselves and the alarm goes off. It's also nice to know if you hear a bump through the night, you can throw in all the cameras on your phone and see whats going on. Overall, it's a good service and I always recommend it to people who are looking for alarm systems. They'd just go online and talk to one of their sales reps. The whole process is straightforward and they got to do the installation themselves.

    Setting up the Frontpoint security device was very easy. I've been using them for a year and the team at Frontpoint has been very courteous and friendly.

    I had ADT before and they use a phone line and the internet. When we were fixing our kitchen one time and the phone line got disconnected. Technically it went out a month and we didn’t even know they weren’t getting a signal and they never checked back. That’s what made me change security system because if they’re robbing the house and they cut the phone lines, their security system won’t even sound so it’s no good if one lives in the country like we do. With Frontpoint, their system installation was easy. I called their reps up when I had a couple of questions, they helped me out through the phone and they fixed them up right away. I like them a lot better and I’m real happy.

    My experience with Frontpoint has been great. I wanted to change the systems I had, so I looked it up and saw the reviews. The people at Frontpoint are great to work with. We had some dust that set the fire alarm off and they were right on it.

    Installing Frontpoint devices was simple and easy. I called them and they walked me through it. I use the app a lot and it's very helpful. Recently, I had one accidental false alarm and they quickly called me. They’re excellent. My experience with Frontpoint has been fine to this point.

    Setting up the Frontpoint security device was easy. When the alarm goes off, we get a phone call from them. I have the system for a year now and it gives me more peace of mind.

    I was looking up different security systems when I was moving into my home and saw that Frontpoint was in my area. The reps walked me through setting up the security device over the phone and it didn’t take too long. It had a few hiccups, but as far as the assistance that I received, it was exceptional. The system has worked fine and I haven’t had any problems.

    The house came with a system, but I never really interacted with the company that installed it 30 years ago. Once I began searching, Frontpoint was a new vendor for me, and a new experience with a security system. My experience with them was good. They were responsive, and they deal almost strictly by the telephone. There wasn't anybody coming into our house, but they were very good in terms of customer support. The system was easy technically to do, but to really think out the system on my own, I need to do some reading and thinking. That's the case with almost any of these. They have standard configurations, and some of these configurations aren't really very good solutions, per se.

    For example, I buy it for a double-sized window. Unless I buy two for the window, I'm not really protected. Or I can put one on the window, but I know if I put one in the middle, it's visible. Somebody actually sees it, and that could be a deterrent. So that means if I put one on, I got to have a second kind of detector to back it up. I need to have a glass break or a motion detector inside the house. The whole industry does that, and it was much the same way.

    One of their pieces of equipment is to budget and other people offer better. Their motion detector is not what you call a look down detector, which means to be effective it has to be mounted at chest height as opposed to in a corner of a room, and good quality commercial systems, or so many of the other private vendors offer one with two sensors; one that looks out and one that looks down. The result is if you use a Frontpoint motion detector, unless you stick it in a bookcase, it's going to stand out like a sore thumb. The smart home feature is good, but that's not unusual. I don't know if there's a vendor that doesn't provide that. I use Frontpoint's app for very simple things, like checking on the status of the system and arming it occasionally. I don't use it a lot, but I do use it when I'm on vacation.
