How do Frontpoint security systems work?
The Frontpoint Hub and Keypad act as the system’s command center, with cellular connection to 24/7 professional monitoring. You control a Frontpoint system using the company app, Google Home or Alexa. The company gives you the option to choose one of its home security packages, or you can design your own system with add-ons like cameras and sensors.
Systems are easy to install, according to reviewers: “The products are the easiest to install and the company backs their products,” a customer in California told us. “We recently ordered three HD indoor cameras and they were a breeze to install.”
Even though Frontpoint tries to make installation as easy as possible, some people still need help. If you have any issues installing a system, reach out to Frontpoint customer service for guidance.

After the trial period is over, early termination of the 36-month contract may result in Frontpoint charging a fee of 80% of the monthly charges for the remainder of the contract term.
According to a reviewer in Colorado, you have to call during weekday business hours to cancel. After the call, Frontpoint sends a link to complete the cancellation online.

Still have questions?
Is Frontpoint worth it?
Frontpoint reviews are mixed, but the system could be worth it if you want easy DIY installation and reliable professional monitoring. Many customers say the setup process is straightforward and often praise Frontpoint’s customer service for being helpful, patient and responsive.
A reviewer in New Jersey told us they switched to Frontpoint from ADT because “they had good reviews… and although ADT had better pricing, you can turn some parts of the system on and off at different times with Frontpoint, which was what I was looking for.”
Some users report issues with sensors, cameras and occasional false alarms, and a few said it was hard to reach customer service during busy times. If you aren’t sure Frontpoint is right for you, compare Frontpoint vs. ADT or Simplisafe vs. Frontpoint.
