I've been using Frontpoint for about a year. Being able to control the security device through the app is great. Their team is outstanding and I haven't had any problems with them. That's why I've already recommended Frontpoint.
We love to hear it when you describe our Support Team as "outstanding"!

Frontpoint had great reviews online so I signed up with them. Setting up the device and the wireless camera was easy. Now I get to control it using the app, which is simple to use. I'd recommend Frontpoint.
We're happy to see you're getting great use of that smartphone app and those cameras too! Let us know if you ever need anything else.

It's been almost a year since we had Frontpoint and it's been a great experience. We wanted our front and back doors protected but our main focus was our autos. We had moved into a new home and got the wired cameras right at the time when Frontpoint was changing over to the wireless cameras. However, we had not installed them at the time it happened and they've been broken into but it was not Frontpoint's fault.
The ability to be able to check in on my home when I'm away is one of the top features for me. I really like that. My sister and I do quite a bit of traveling. Our work schedules are weird, we seem to never be home. Having that ability gives us a sense of calm because we have immediate access to the system and what's happening around the house. It's also nice to be able to speak to someone because so many things are computer generated or someone has to go through 6 or 7 prompts in order to get to where they needed to get to. At times it can be time consuming and frustrating for the consumer. At Frontpoint, when I need to speak with someone, I'm always able to get technical assistance and that is really important to me.
A lot of our interactions with them was to become more familiar with the system itself. When setting up recording schedules, we found that we were reaching our upload limit rapidly. I called back and they were able to help me with what we could do to cut down on or eliminate some things that would lessen so many video clips on our upload limitations. The primary reason that we got our upload limits so rapidly is that where we live and where the cars are located, it tends to be a busy street. It was catching not only our street but the corner street as well. We narrowed that down which helped lessen the trigger of the cameras. I'm waiting to see where we are and if we reached the 16000 upload limit because we need to go back in and revisit that. The team has really been excellent working with us so we can fine tune the system to be workable for us. I have recommended them to my friends.
We're so happy to hear that you are enjoying your system. Thank you so much for sharing your awesome story with us and please let us know if there is anything we can ever do for you int he future!

Frontpoint is an excellent company. We've had them as a security provider for our barndominium, which is far out in the country and half away from our home, for three months now. Their device is easy to install and consumer friendly. When we ordered everything from them, we had a very good response and we were able to send back the little monitors we ordered because we can’t use them as we don’t have internet on that place. And so far, we don't have problems with any of the equipment. Also, everyone from their team has been helpful when we call. They were very good and able to answer my queries.
Since we can't visit our barn everyday, it's nice that we can look on our phone to see if Frontpoint system is still activated or not. It gives us a little bit of security and peace of mind to know that it is still armed and no one has opened a door to set it off. However, we wish that we could get internet service in that place so that we can do the wireless camera (and have video monitors) and use the system to its full potential, wherein we can go on the internet and do our updates that way. But other than that, we liked our experience with Frontpoint and we'd recommend them.
We're happy to hear that you are enjoying your system and that it is providing you with the peace of mind you deserve! Thanks so much for taking the time to share your experience wish us and always remember that we are just a phone call away if you ever need anything.

I’ve had Safeguard as my security provider before, but I switched to Frontpoint since I could install it myself and you can’t smash the console without a warning going on - It was a feature that the other competing company didn’t have. Their team has been good from follow up, to startup, to additional order, and to the reorder process, and it’s better knowing my house is secure. I connect and see everything live, and get notices on where I have the devices setup. Everything’s been easy with Frontpoint, and they’re unbelievably fast. The alarms were set off three times by the workers, and I get a call within 10 seconds which is amazing. I can’t judge what happens if there was an issue and how fast the police would be there, but the experience has been good and I’d recommend them.
We promised you quick response times, so that's exactly what you can come to expect from us at all times! Thanks for sharing your experience and please let us know if you ever need anything in the future.

It's been three months since we installed Frontpoint and everything is going smoothly so far. I like the mobile app. It's awesome. I always feel more secure when we leave the house. The last time, I had to leave the door open because the maid was going to come and I was able to see when the maid got there. It's nice to be able to track people going inside my house.

I’m very happy with Frontpoint, our first security provider. A family member have used them before and recommended them to us, and now we've had Frontpoint for 2 years. They have a very easy and user-friendly website. Their customer service is amazing. We've set up several things and every time we talked to them on the phone, they’re just phenomenal as far as walking you through anything. They’re really good.
We've had some issues in the beginning that was sorted out eventually because when they shipped our original system, the boxes have been cut open. They shipped another set but it was opened just the same. I got irritated that I wanted it cancelled instead. It’s good that they have a flawless customer service who we worked with and settled the problem. It turned out that they opened those boxes when they get them to check all the systems.
Once installed, it’s fantastic. I brag about them to everybody. We like our wireless cameras and we also have the automated door lock on the front door. We use our cameras through the app all the time. We use the system for our business. When my employers are here, I can open the door for them. It really helps with our daily activities. It has great value for what it costs so I am recommending them to a friend.
Wow, thank you for sharing your awesome experience with us! It's always great to hear when a customer is happy with their system and the customer service they have received. Thanks so much for being a part of our family and please let us know if you ever need anything at all!

I had my Frontpoint system up and running within an hour of getting it, and was able to use all of their smart home features, which were really good. I had to call them when I added a camera and some of the keyless door locks, and their team was helpful. Frontpoint had to help me several times, making sure that my system would connect back and forth with different devices, and it’s also good to have someone on the line with me who knew what they were doing. I feel safer with my alarm system around, and I also like to be able to look on my app to see if I locked my doors. I went with Frontpoint because of word of mouth and favorable reviews, and I had excellent experience, phenomenal customer service that is second to none.
Wow, that sounds like a fast setup! We're so glad to hear that you are enjoying your system and that you have always received excellent customer service each time you call in. Thanks so much for being a part of our family and please let us know if there is anything we can ever do for you!

Setting up Frontpoint is relatively simple. I have four wireless cameras and it's good that I am able to control them through an app. I had an issue at one time where my router on my computer system really couldn’t handle the extra traffic so I talked to them about that and they recommended upgrading my router. I've had them for six months and I recommend them.
Thanks for that recommendation! We really appreciate you sharing these thoughts with us.

Frontpoint had a better technology package than others in terms of access through mobile phone and it's been 90 days since I've started using them. I have cameras and locks through them which was very easy to set up. I was also really pleasantly surprised and pleased with how their staff assisted me. The manager definitely was working with me. I had a weird issue with my own house where I might have required two systems but they didn't try to push me to do that. They tried to figure out if there was a midway solution, so I thought that was great.

I have Frontpoint for about six months now. I've used its automated lights feature, but only when I'm not in the house. For instance, if I go on vacation, it'll be nice to control my lights. But that feature is one of those things for $50 that I thought I shouldn't have bought because I don't use it often and I can buy a $5 timer at Home Depot to do the same thing. On the other hand, the device is easy to set up and has the monitored smoke alarm, which is my top priority when it comes to protection. And the Frontpoint people have all been great.

We've had Frontpoint for 14 months. We liked the idea of owning our own system rather than renting the equipment. Setting it up has been quick and easy. We have the automated lights and it's great that we could control it with an app. Their people have been great as well. We called them and they helped us set the lights up when we got the new controller. Another time when we had an issue with the motion detector, they walked us through getting it to function correctly. Frontpoint has been incredible. We have recommended them to friends.

Frontpoint Home Automation's customer service is great. If you have any issues, they handle it right away. There are no problems sending stuff back if they're not working and they send a replacement back to you in advance of receiving the old one. That's the way their customer service works. I'm very happy and satisfied with them.

We have an extra home in Tennessee and we needed security while we're not there so we got Frontpoint. They've all been very helpful. When we set it off on purpose, the man on the phone was very adamant at the fact that I had to say over and over again that everything was okay. Even though I gave him the password, he kept saying, "Ma'am, are you sure everything is okay?" I was surprised that they asked many times which is a good thing. I said, "Yes, everything is fine. My husband set it off accidentally." I totally appreciated it and it wasn't annoying. If somebody was holding a gun to my head, I have to say yes many times as well. The only frustration was they didn't explain to us that we would need internet hook-up to use the cameras. We're not there so there's no sense paying for internet hook-up. Other than that, setting it up was relatively easy - hook it up, turn it on, and it's there.

We have Frontpoint for 3-4 months now, and I'm happy with the wireless camera in the sense that it works and I can see when packages come in. However, it's not as high resolution as I would like. When there are false alarms, which mostly have been my fault in forgetting to disarm when getting home, Frontpoint calls me.

I won't be happy with anybody else aside from Frontpoint because I don't like those hardwired systems that run all through my house. I hate them with passion. That's why I like the wireless technology of Frontpoint - that's number one in my books. The only glitch I had with them was regarding a promotional deal which was resolved in the end. When three parties are involved (Amazon, Angie's List and Frontpoint), things can get muddied. That's why the office that handles promotions needs to have more pep in their step because their communication with each other is broken. If you’re going to have promotions, make sure it’s solid and that the customer is aware of what delivery method is going to be used.
I purchased Frontpoint and was supposed to get a $100 Amazon card within a certain time frame. In my mind, I was going to get an Amazon card in the mail, but it was sent through email instead and beyond the time frame. I was to receive a code, but I didn't know that and never got any feedback. I wasn't happy with that but not to cancel Frontpoint if they weren't going to make this right - I understood that I have a three-year locked in contract with them. I gave them the benefit of the doubt because I was having alarms go off and getting called right away. Every time I’ve had questions, everybody’s been very professional. They also made it right by crediting my credit card which I was fine with. Those factors offset it.
Another thing is when you get the wireless system, you’re not penalized for having somebody come into your house and do an inspection. With that, the cost would be incurred by the consumer. I’m fine with that, but it would be nice to have somebody from the company at times come and look at the house and try to make suggestions after checking it. However, they do a good job of figuring out how to help those that may not be very eloquent and upfront with their words. - I’ve had a difficult time myself explaining the situation and what I’m experiencing. All in all, it's been good with Frontpoint. Interaction with them, isolating them from all other entities, has been very professional. I’ve had no issues and they’ve been responsive so I’m happy with them.

It's been a couple of months since I've started using Frontpoint as my home security service provider and I've recommended them already. We got a regular camera and the device was easy to set up. However, when I signed up, they said, "You're gonna get a $100 eBay or Amazon." But we never got anything. I can use that to purchase the automatic door that I wanted. So I was thinking if they are they just pulling my chain.
