A waste of money and time. I've had nothing but issues with the system. I have paid the city of Phoenix 3 separate times for false alarms and they have never been able to figure out the problem. Sensor malfunctions, sensors falling off the walls and the cameras have a 10 second delay! The high tech keypad sounded like my old Commodore VIC twenty and was just as useful. (It takes a pic of whoever disarms). A great idea but so slow that you typically caught the back of the head of the person who disarmed HAHA. You could be out of my house with my laptop before my cameras notice. The picture quality was awful. The last false alarm was 5 minutes before U2 was supposed to take the stage.
I'm yelling in the phone "dont send police!" so naturally they sent the police. I'm watching them hop my fence (ten second delay of course) while The Edge is standing in front of me. I call to cancel and am told I'll have to pay out my contract for the last 6 months or so. I ask for a supervisor who waives the remaining fees after my concert story. This morning I wake up and notice they are still charging me. I call again and their excuse? I'm supposed to cancel in writing... they sent me an email, yup it's in my junk. I've since set up another system and not one problem. Frontpoint sold their product claiming ease and security and functionality. Total crap.

I ordered system after a small break in. We discussed monthly fees but not long term contracts. I decided not to install, I called after several months to cancel only to be told I had a 3 year contract that would have to be paid over one thousand dollars. Had this been discussed during the first call I never would have ordered. Buyer beware. Very dissatisfied with this company.

Frontpoint has been a nightmare for my family. We recently moved into a 110 year old home and after 2 months at our first house with Frontpoint, I brought my system with me. When we tried to install the system, it was quickly apparent that the door sensor would not work in a recessed door to the back of the house. Frontpoint offered a few solutions, but none were practical (drilling into a 110-year old door frame to cut a space out for a sensor, drilling into a steel door, motion sensors despite large dogs, etc.).
I asked instead to cancel as the system is not practical and no longer meets our needs for security. I was told I had to pay 80% of the remaining balance because it costs Frontpoint some absurd made-up number, like $3500) to activate each system. Quite frankly, it is an insult to the intelligence of Frontpoint's customers to tell them this. There are month-to-month security systems available; how could they possibly stay in business with those costs?! Not to mention that the systems are installed and set up by the customers themselves, supposedly to save money.
In addition, when I first received the system, I got a doorbell camera that wasn't able to be installed with my current doorbell. At no time did the tech I called tell me I could send it back for a refund. I was given alternative solutions, like call an electrician, or try some other camera. Months later when I mentioned the unusable doorbell camera again, I was told there was nothing Frontpoint could do, as I should've called when I received the camera. I had done that!!! Yet again, there was nothing they could do. I have a friend stuck in the same Frontpoint hell I am in, where she is paying monthly for a system that is collecting dust in a drawer. Apparently this is how Frontpoint makes their money. I strongly advise you to look into a month-to-month company instead.

A Frontpoint customer support supervisor reached out to me via phone, and I'm glad to report the issue has been completely resolved.
Original Review: Nov. 7, 2017
I was a good customer for over three years. I paid my bill on time every single month. When I had to move and no longer needed the service, I opted not to cancel because I would have been hit with a huge early cancellation fee. My contract was due to expire in August 2017. In November 2016, I was told by customer support that I could leave the system disconnected and my contract would end automatically in August 2017.
It's now November, and it turns out I've been automatically charged for four months of service AFTER my contract expired! Frontpoint will not refund the automatic charges, even though the system has been disconnected for many months. This is a terrible way to treat a longtime customer, especially when Frontpoint boasts about its supposedly high-quality service. I own multiple properties and would have considered using Frontpoint again if it weren't for this incident. Now I will be contacting my bank, as I did not authorize automatic charges from Frontpoint for August thru November.

I spoke to the customer service rep, who was polite, to ask how much it would cost to cancel my service. I am selling my house and taking a traveling position with my company. If the buyers don't want to take over the 36 month contract I have to pay 80% of the balance left on, not only the equipment, but the 36 months that they claim to have paid Verizon and Security.com in advance to monitor the system. Why would you pay 3 years in advance, that is the stupidest business model I have ever heard of. What if people just stop paying them? They're out all the money they paid upfront.

I recently purchased a DIY Frontpoint security system. While discussing - negotiating - reviewing my specific needs, specific home security system set up etc, I was told many many times by the salespeople that I definitely could add an external alarm siren to my system. I made this very clear up front to the Frrontpoint sales team. They gave me a make - model # for an external siren & advised me to simply call back in when ready to order/install and it would be no problem to add an external alarm siren. Then, when I called back in a couple weeks later - the Frontpoint people - all of them - started looking, and looking and looking and discovered - just as I have - that Frontpoint offers no such external alarm option!!! So, like it or not - or whether Frontpoint wants to admit it or not - their "highly trained sales and customer service people" are flat out lying to new customers!!!
Frontpoint will not even issue a couple months credit towards my alarm monitoring service for all the time/trouble I've had with this issue! By the way - the reason I want an external alarm siren is that if someone does set off my alarm and the panel speaker starts sounding the alarm - it's quite easy for the perpetrator to smash the panel if they can get to it. And if they do not smash the alarm panel speaker and it continues sounding - guess what??? You really cannot even hear it outside the house!!! So, what good is it really? I mean it may scare the perp but the perps know they have 2-3 minutes to grab laptops, guns cash or just anything they see lying around... Perps know this and they also know it typically takes police 10-15 minutes to even make it to the house!!! It's a major metro area! So - guess what again? Your alarm may not be up on the top of the local police dispatch list!!!
Therefore - I discussed all this upfront with the sales people who all wholeheartedly agreed and pointed out how accurate that is... And agreed that an external siren - along with the panel speaker and even a couple more internal sirens are a huge deterrent for the perp to "hang out for even one more second"!!! However - it seems loud sirens both inside and outside are not something Frontpoint is the least bit concerned about nor that their "product team" cares about... Even though it's a proven fact a blaringly loud sirens or better yet multiple blaringly loud sirens that go off instantly the door or window or sensor is breached are the #1 deterrent to get the perp to run away as fast as they can and not waste one more second in your home.
IE - when the perp hears an external alarm siren and the internal sirens all going off screaming out across the neighborhood - they are much more likely to run away as fast as they can without disturbing any belongings!!! But most people are oblivious or simply don't care about an external siren. Well this customer does care. The Frontpoint system does have a "smash protection feature" - which is good and it does dial out to the police on the cellular network that's independent from the house wifi.
I'm very disappointed with my Frontpoint customer experience... I was lied to. Again and again and again and again. Overall - the system is "ok" but for me I want that external siren! And that is something that is such an easy thing to offer/fix/resolve that I'm shocked, appalled and mystified that Frontpoint does not care even slightly about resolving my issue.

I had this alarm company for almost 3 years, almost close to renewal. I was very happy and satisfied customer till this last 2 weeks. They sent me a replacement sensor, however, it was broken and some part needs to replaced. Promised to send expedite overnight shipment, after this wait, they have not even processed and shipment didn't go thru. I have no alarm for almost a week they said there is nothing they can do but just wait. Abby was not very verify helpful. The other two rep I spoke with were nice and friendly.

Wishing we had never ever heard of this company. We have had nothing but problems since day one. This system is installed at our vacation home in Florida. In August the alarm panel went out again - 4th time in a year. With hurricane Irma approaching our area we are left with no security, no cameras, no flood sensor - leaving our home unprotected - UNACCEPTABLE. We have called the past year numerous times and are told the same thing over and over: "If you aren't physically at the panel we can't help you." Kind of defeats the purpose of having an alarm system.
Please don't misunderstand. Their staff is very courteous and have tried to help - it's the equipment that sucks. The equipment is expensive, the cameras are crappy quality, flood sensors don't work, image sensors don't work and the answer for everything is "We need to send you a new panel". We have been given credit after credit, which we appreciate but it doesn't make anything right - our property is still unprotected and vulnerable. We cannot wait until the Is contract expires and we can get a reliable security system.

I had paid this company for 6 straight months while not even having the service activated (build out on the house ran much longer than was told) but still paid them. I then had fraud on my account that was attached for the automatic payment each month and they stopped receive payment. I called them and they stated that my balance was just over $300 and if I call by the 8th of September I would not be sent to collections. Here I am on the 6th and I call to make the payment and was told that I was sent to collections with a new balance of over $1239.75. I obviously had to pay it or my credit would get crushed with a collection on there. Their customer service is garbage. Stay as far away as possible.

Many people will not believe this, but it actually happened. On three separate occasions, while ordering a different product from Frontpoint, instead of mailing us what we ordered, they mailed us a completely different product. And... Get this... They did it three times. I don't know whether to be suspicious (I am not poignantly naive) or to be angry. Even given this bizarre event, I do feel, -in general-, Frontpoint is a good company.

We purchased this system for our business before we opened. After repeated attempts to install, and repeated conversations with "customer support" I finally gave up because I was so frustrated with trying to install this system on our doors. We have graduated door frames and the little sensors wouldn't line up properly. Then after we opened, we got so busy that I didn't realize how much time had passed and we apparently went past their allowed time to cancel. However, we NEVER ACTIVATED THE SYSTEM. They continued to charge for the monthly monitoring fee (FOR WHAT?) and when I tried to speak to someone about sending the system back and obtaining a refund, I got the runaround and no one will return my calls or emails. I would not recommend this company – never mind their rating.

Frontpoint stepped up and resolved the issue.
Original Review: July 31, 2017
I arrived at ConsumerAffairs.com after searching to see if other customers were having similar experiences with Frontpoint, and based on recent reviews, it sure seems that they are. I was a victim of the widespread fraud perpetrated by Wells Fargo Bank. I opened a credit line, and later learned the salesperson opened multiple accounts in my name. Accounts that had monthly charges and minimum balance requirements. In trying to fix this and close the fraudulent accounts, I was given the run-around, told that I had opened the accounts, told that there was nothing they could do etc. etc. We all saw how that practice ended for Wells Fargo. What has been bothering me about Frontpoint is that what they are doing to me--and others apparently--makes me feel exactly like I felt as a victim of Wells Fargo.
Here is what happened. I was an early Frontpoint customer in 2009 when I bought a house that did not have an alarm system. I wanted a wireless system and I wanted to control it on my phone. Frontpoint was the only service I could find that would do it. I purchased my own system, installed it, and then connected it to Frontpoint. Everything worked. I put the Frontpoint signs up and even told some neighbors about it. Other Frontpoint signs pop up around the neighborhood.
Fast forward EIGHT years. There are two-midday burglaries within a few doors of our house. My wife and kids are home many days when I am at work. My self-installed system does not have full perimeter monitoring and expanding it that level was outside my abilities. I called Frontpoint to ask about having an expert come enhance the system. They told me they no longer offered that service. Security first. Since Frontpoint won't enhance my system, I have a local Alarm company come out to design and price a full new system. They do, they install it and I also asked them to remove the old system (which I want destroyed as it has codes). The new system works perfectly. Everyone feels secure.
A few days later, I call to cancel my Frontpoint monitoring. This is where things take a bad turn. First, I get connected to a service rep that says they can't help me and since there is a wait time, they will call me back. No one calls back. I call again, and they say the same thing, so I ask to hold and was transferred nearly instantly. I explain that my system is removed and that I need to cancel monitoring. He says, I can't, I am in a contract period. I explain that he is wrong and he was rude so I ask for a manager. The manager then says I signed a contract in 2015. I say please send it to me, I have no recollection of ever signing any contract.
She emails a contract a day later. It is signed by my wife. Apparently a sales rep convinced her that we needed some sort of new transmitter, and she thought she was signing for that. In any event, he emailed the document with my name and signature block to my wife. Who e-signs it. Now, the contract furthers says if the system is removed or destroyed for any reason whatsoever, the monitoring stops.
I email the rep back and explain all this. I get a response that although "I feel" that the signature is not mine their customers are satisfied with e-sign. I tell her I don't "feel" that the signature is not mine, I know that it is my wife's and they know that they sent the document to her. She goes on to say that in any event they "assume" that "whoever signs" is "taking ownership" of the account. I point out that this is absurd. Under no situation can anyone "take ownership" to amend my account. Not even my wife. And spouses do not have any power of attorney.
Frontpoint further has no option for you to remove payment methods. I've never experienced this (not with Netflix, Amazon or any reputable online service). So they plan to just keep stealing from me while making it impossible to stop them. Just like Wells Fargo did. Here is the problem: The sales agent was likely compensated for the fraudulent contract that he generated. The customer service reps are either compensated for keeping the contracts or punished for releasing them. This amounts to no less than the fraudulent conspiracy committed by Wells Fargo.
If Frontpoint takes my money or charges some absurd contract termination fee, I will take them to court and win. They have no contract with my signature. Further, the contract they say they have has a termination provision if the system is destroyed like mine was. If any lawyer wants to aggregate a Class Action, I will gladly join. I would highly advise anyone against doing business with Frontpoint, they clearly have lost their way.

We were behind on our bill and emailed the customer service to let them know when the bill would be paid. Frontpoint then enabled our system to beep/sound off randomly so that we were forced to call them and tell them that our system is going off for no reason. They told us that they intentionally enable the system to go off randomly so that we are forced to call them to make payment arrangements. Unbelievable! We have a baby and Frontpoint intentionally enabled our security system to work against to make us call them. DISGUSTING company. Shame, shame, shame on you.

I recently moved and canceled my service for home security. I moved into a house with someone else who has their own system. I called and gave explicit instructions to "STOP" the automatic withdrawals from my bank account. The representative told me that normally they would request the directive in writing, but he would make an exception and terminate the account. He sent me an email confirming this.
I advised him that the bank account was not being closed, but the account would not have money in it. He understood and said the bank would no longer make withdraws from that account. Unfortunately, Frontpoint continued to make withdraws for 3 months. Every month, I was hit with a $38 "insufficient funds" charge. Every month I would call to Frontpoint and inquire about this blunder. The first excuse was that it takes 30 days to process everything. The excuse for the next two months was that they use a third party and the third party did not implement the required changes. My agreement is with you, not the third party.
Now, they owe me reimbursement for the bank charges. It has been weeks of back and forth and they have not paid the charges. They claimed to have credited my card. I do not have a card and never paid my monthly fee by card. They pulled it from my account, so credit my account. Their Customer Support Manager (Randall**) claims that they have to credit a debit card. I do not have and never had a debit card. He said that is the only way they can credit me. I left him a message and asked him to call me about refunding the fee by check... He has never responded and ignores my calls. Isn't that convenient?
Think about this. It is only $38, but would you open your car window, while driving, and throw $38 out the window? The charges from my bank were a result of Frontpoint's inability to follow directions and implement the necessary changes. They caused the bank charges and now they refuse to reconcile the account. They resolved the first two charges but have not made a sincere effort to resolve the last charge. Frontpoint will not have me as a future customer. I used them for approximately 4 years. When I move again, which will be within the next year, Frontpoint is out. I have been in sales my entire career and you do not treat your customers that way...
Phillip, thank you for bringing this refund to our attention. Due to the time and respecting your privacy, we will have an Account Manager reach out to you tomorrow. We want to make sure you are taken care of fully moving forward. Thank you again and we look forward to speaking with you soon!

There was numerous failures to respond to inquiries from us as the customer. The biggest is when the alarm was sounded and our phones were never called. They claimed "our logs show we called all three phones" yet ALL THREE smartphones had no missed calls. Later I confirmed that Verizon could prove they never called any of the numbers. They say they didn't send the police because the alarm was "eventually disarmed" but what if a burglar had put a gun to my wife's head to disarm the alarm? Frontpoint put my family's lives in danger. Then on MULTIPLE attempts to call and ask why they didn't call, they seldom (2 out of 8 emails/voicemails) responded because their service hours are limited. Perhaps they've got too big to handle their customers as I read all these good reviews yet we have 5-6 major failures of their service in just a few months with them.

I was quoted over $300 to install the system. When I said it was too much he went to talk to his "boss" and came back to tell me they could give it to me for $99.95 which was the price listed on the internet. Before they send you the contract so you are able to read it or terms they ask to charge your account the $95.99. I made the mistake of saying yes, then after reading the contract and the deception about the price I decided against it. The charge is still on my account 6 days later. The sales person emailed me about my decision and called to ask why I didn't want it. I thought that was excessive. So my advice is to not give them permission to charge your account until you read the contract.

If you activate your system on Day 1, this means you have 365 days of protection. If you do not activate your system you have no protection. But you pay exactly the same amount as if you had activated your system. So option #1 (activate) gives you all the protections that Frontpoint has to offer, vs. option #2 (don't activate) which gives you absolutely no protection. Frontpoint charges the same amount, regardless of whether you choose option #1 or option #2. And you're stuck in a 1-year min contract.
The bigger issue, for me, is that Frontpoint does not seem to have any actual customer relations people. All they have is salespeople. So if you have a legitimate complaint, do not expect it to be addressed. Expect the "customer service rep" (a salesperson) to sidestep all your questions. Do not expect direct answers to direct questions (e.g., "What is 2+2?" Response: "You have to understand that our suppliers..."). Never before have I encountered a "customer service" chain that consisted of nothing but salespeople. Frontpoint might provide good protection, but they do not provide good customer support. (And I have to wonder how many people they have screwed over by charging for services they weren't actually providing.)

I called Frontpoint for an estimate on my home security needs and was very happy when I found their price for equipment almost $800 less than competitors. The representative promised me that the equipment will be overnighted and at the end of our conversation he said that I could not be overnighted after I already agreed to the contract. When I did finally receive my equipment it was very difficult to put in, unlike the way it was described by the representative as "easy as putting on a refrigerator magnet." After I finally got the equipment installed, the doorbell camera is not working. There is no technical support after hours only in answering service. I am very unhappy about this as I am trying to secure a home with thousands of dollars worth of furniture in it That I have not yet fully moved into.

After receiving a call from a Frontpoint representative I have to say I'm impressed. Their concern in resolving my issue was greatly welcomed. We discussed the service and how to better utilize the modules and tools at hand. I learned that 24 tech support is available through their Alarm center after hours. In the end it's all good and now I'm moving the review up to 5 stars. Frontpoint proved to me that it not only values their customers but will work with them to find a solution. Way to go a Frontpoint!

Consider waking up at 5 am and trying to use the app to disarm your system. The app doesn't work. You have to go to the panel and shut it off there. Then try the app on another device... fail. Try to logon to Frontpoint... fail. Try to get technical assistance but you can't because, THEY ARE CLOSED. I believe I should've stayed with an ADT system over these guys. At least I would get support. We relied on the app due to the house layout. Now it's useless thus rendering the system useless. Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere. Lack of 24 hr tech support should be enough to kill this deal.
Updated on 05/17/2017: I just want to make it clear that Frontpoint contacted me as they said they would. We went over the issue and found a solution to a possible future problem. Everything is running perfectly and I even have a ready fallback. Problem resolved. Thanks Frontpoint.

The system itself works fine are a joke. I have been in IT for 20+ years and have never seen customer service like this. Promise one thing then immediately turn around and do another. Even under contract. Also the deceitfulness when you have a rep on the phone. Just to get another customer trapped into the 3yr contract. What is really sad is that I did not see this site for reviews prior to signing up. Seems that the past few months have been getting worse. Fix your issues before you end up at the bottom of the list.
Bill, it is never our goal to have a customer see us as deceitful and we apologize if this is how any interactions have made you feel. Frontpoint prides itself on being a 100% transparent on all accounts and work hard to maintain this standard. As we want to ensure that we are upholding those standards, we will have one of our Support Supervisors reach out to you to discuss your specific situation. Thank you for bringing this to our attention and we look forward to speaking with you soon.

First when I called this agents was supposed to help set up the camera but he was just insulting my English skill the whole time. He didn't asked me the right question by saying to look for WSP on my Wi-Fi router instead he just asked me for the router model number so I didn't know which one he referred to the security system or the router. So as time goes on this agent requested me to sent him the picture of the router and he finally mentioned the Wi-Fi router so he asked me to go on browser to open up their page.
He talked so fast that I can't hear what he said. Finally this is the insult part he said cullin cullin I don't even know what it means. So I asked him to spell it. He literally laughing in the background and exhale as if he's stupid I was so we go on again try to lock into the computer. This agents while he was waiting he literally changed up on me and never called back although he got my number because is on the account. This person Alba ** whatever the hell he was just plain down Rude FRONTPOINT.
IF your company allowing your agents to treated customer like this then I go somewhere else when my contract is up and on the previous agents I called about changing the batteries also rude as this agent he asked me to remove the battery to replace a new one, so I tried my very best and in the process my nail got flip and go backward and I was bleeding. The agents didn't even care bit and just want me to keep going and made a comment about it only normally takes 5 min to replaced the battery so my system is apart.
Then this agent just tell me he'll send me a new one and didn't even make sure my system it's fine when it arm and didn't even bother to confirm the address to send the new system to then of course it went to the wrong place and I have to go pick it up and my place was not armed for 3 days. STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY. It's good product but they will have no sympathy to your safety and compassion towards people with English difficulties. Very, very bad customer services.

This is a DIY security system with phone installation support. The door sensors are a pair of flimsy, foam stickers that stick to the outside of the door and the frame. They protrude out, are quite visibly noticeable, and are easily detached. The glass break sensor did not detect clapping unless standing within 5 feet of it. So if you need this to work, you will need to buy several for your doors and windows.
The first false alarm that was activated was simply that (an alarm), Frontpoint did not notify police and there is no live person coming on over the main box to ask the person to identify themselves. I'm pointing this out because CPI does have a live person immediately speaking through the box asking for identification and the password. With CPI if you are unable to identity yourself and give the password, a second series of even louder alarms is sent off with authorities called to the scene.
The second false alarm, Frontpoint called my cell phone and asked for the password. I gave them both passwords. The genius on the other end told me it was the wrong password because I was combining the two together and would not cancel the alarm. The police were called, and were very upset with me that my alarm system was not registered with the city. At no point during the sales pitch or installation did Frontpoint tell me I needed to register the system with the police department. Seems like an important point to go over with the customer. Frontpoint seems like a cheap, unsophisticated security system with my experience so far.

Let me start by saying, anywhere that requires you to write a letter to cancel your service is a SCAM. I have now learned this valuable lesson. Another telltale sign is a long contract. Frontpoint has a minimum contract length of 3 years! That's ludicrous considering there is absolutely no reason why there should be a contract. Why shouldn't I be able to discontinue my service if I'm not happy? Anyway, the reason I'm writing this complaint is I wrote my cancellation letter and they wrote back saying my formatting wasn't correct and because of that I have to rewrite my letter. I'm not sure if this was some kind of prank, but I'd like my money refunded for the 2 months after my original cancellation letter was sent.

They only know if there is a problem with your home monitor station if 24 hours goes by and they don't receive communication from your home monitor. What this means is that if for some reason communication is lost (weak satellite signal, or cell tower problem) you could be unmonitored for up to 24 hours for break-in or fire. They have no way of knowing if your system is working for up to 24 hours between the last time your system notified them. They don't tell you this when they sell you the system. So if you think your family is protected in case of a fire, and for some reason they lost communication with your station, it could be 24 hours before you are notified. That's supposed to make you feel safe if there is a fire?
If you call and ask a customer support person about this, they will tell you this exact thing, but if you don't know to ask, then they won't tell you. And almost nobody knows to ask. And if they tell you that it is very rare to lose communication with your station, don't believe it. They lost communication with our station twice in one week, 3 times in two months. And although they claimed they sent us an email, we NEVER got any notification. No email, message or phone call. This is a joke! They sell you false peace of mind. You are taking a chance that you will never lose service, and if you do, that nothing will happen between the 24 hour window when they wait to hear from your station. Very misleading sales pitch! It's like buying insurance that sometimes works, and sometimes doesn't.

I was actually considering Frontpoint, however, the salesman tried to make me feel uncomfortable with my "manhood" when I said I wanted to speak with my wife regarding the financial commitment we would be making for this service.

I know that you should always read the fine print but everything has a military clause, for the sole reason of supporting the military lifestyle we move A LOT! Well not FRONTPOINT nope. They've looped their contract a million different ways. We as military earn the right to a lot one being a home loan. Being a specialist I took advantage of that. I bought my first home and TRUSTED the person on the other end because of the whole we understand military pitch. Turns out now that I'm having to sell my home to move back home until I get on my feet as tied to a 24month contract with these guys that want 800! For ending the contract early. So they pitch to me, "Hey you can transfer your security system which is just a toy of a security system anyway."
It's been saying ración not responding meaning the system is dead for like 3 months and no one's called, verified everything is okay or nothing. I could be rotting and they wouldn't notice as long as that monthly payment which is mandatory on auto pay goes through and I only got it to reduce my home owner's insurance policy so I didn't care that it didn't really do anything. But all the homes even rentals have security systems already not to mention who wants to take on more bills. So I ask for a copy of the contract. Turns out their military accommodations is just them saying "we'll do a temp pause on your monthly payment but we'll add that pause to your end of contract date so we're still gonna hold you to it." Forget that you were deployed or are out of the military and had to sell your home and feed three children. STAY AWAY! Gonna keep posting this until it helps someone.

After I had been home for 5 minutes, I received a text stating a possible break in at my house. I called Frontpoint to see what was going on. I realized that when I entered my house and turned off my alarm, through some faulty error it came across to Frontpoint dispatch as a possible break in (even though it was just me entering my home as usual). Although during my original agreement, Frontpoint said they would make 3 separate calls before they dispatched the police, they did not try to contact me; I know because I was in my house and my phone nor my cell phone rang. The Police were dispatched. I asked them to cancel the call to the Police since this is the 3rd false alarm in the past 12 months.
When I went to call them back to find out about fixing my faulty system, they said they would have someone call me back immediately. That was two hours ago and I am still waiting for the call. It is 10:30 PM at night. Two different emergency reps said they would call me right back. Neither has. I am more worried about the Police filing a report against me for too many false alarms than I am against having a burglar. I gave Frontpoint a 4 star because they used to have really great customer service but now they have left me in the lurch. This is my 4th year with them. I think as the systems get older they start having issues.

My ex husband and I purchased the Frontpoint system over 2.5 years ago. The account was always paid up to date. When I ended my 31 year marriage due to extreme emotional abuse, I was extremely traumatized, and in deep grieving. My alarm system went off, and instead of calling my daughter, they called my ex. Triggering a terrible reaction. I called them, explained the situation, and asked them to please remove his name from the contact list.
The alarm went off again. They once again called my ex husband and I, through tears, pleaded with them to "Please remove his name. Call my daughter. Let me give you one of my son's names." Frontpoint said he would remain a contact if the alarm went off until the contract was up in July of 2017. This was the summer of 2016. I have great credit. I always pay my bills. That's how I was raised. I keep my word. This is how Frontpoint operates. It should have been an easy fix. They preferred to traumatize a good customer. DO NOT GET FRONTPOINT.

I got Frontpoint for a home we were listing for sale because of so many good reviews. When I contacted frontpoint and explained we might sell the house during the year of service that frontpoint required we sign up for, I was assured by the frontpoint salesman on the phone that if we sold the house the year long monitoring agreement could be easily transitioned to the new owner, and was never told there was any cost associated with this. House sold. New owner wants the monitoring service, we contact Frontpoint and it takes nearly 3 weeks for them to get us the electronic signed paperwork to transition the account over to the new owner. I get confirmation we both signed and am charged a $69 service fee for transitioning the service.
Alright, I was stupid enough to believe the salesman... I contacted Frontpoint and they told me my $69 transfer fee would be refunded. 3 weeks later that still hasn't happened. Worse yet, I am STILL BEING BILLED MONTHLY for the monitoring service by frontpoint. What the **! It is impossible to remove my automatic credit card payment from my frontpoint account, even though the name of the new owner has been added to it. None of his information is in the account other than his email address. Wow! What a SCAM Frontpoint is!
Trying to contact the service representative is hit or miss, it usually takes DAYS for him to get back to me. When he does, he promises things will be fixed and so far he has been 100% wrong. No refund on the $69 transfer fee, no actual transfer of the account (although I have it in writing in email from the esignature document) and ongoing automatic billing that I cannot stop to my credit card. If I had known it would be this much hassle, take so much of my time to try to get the account transferred, and I would be charged extra fees and continue to be charged after the service was ended, I never would have gone with Frontpoint. I strongly recommend to anyone not to use Frontpoint.

My wife read some good reviews about Frontpoint on the internet and we got them for our home security system. When I first started the service, I felt that the customer service representative was a little young and not quite sure how to interact with me. She was asking me how many services I wanted or how many windows there were. This is the first home security system that we put in place so I wasn’t sure on the details and I was looking for her directions to see how many sensors or what kind of devices Frontpoint would recommended. So that was a little bit of a problem but we got through it and it was no problem after that.
The installation took almost an hour, but the person helping me did a good job and showed me how to do it so it was relatively painless. We’ve been satisfied with Frontpoint. I have used their interactive features and I like it. It could be helpful in an emergency and though I haven’t used it very much recently, it’s a great feature. The website is also well thought out and designed well.

I've been using Frontpoint for my business' security for close to a year now. After being broken into twice, I got cameras. And then after getting broke into the third time, I got the alarm. We had challenges during the installation, but they were not that hard. The seals on the door didn't quite fit right and we improvised by adding a little foam to make them connect better.
Interactions with the Frontpoint team have always been real good. I have three big garage doors, and I talked to the Frontpoint team because we had a big windstorm, and when the wind gets up real strong, there'd be a false alarm. We've had some signals come through, and Frontpoint had to call the sheriff's office, and the people from the sheriff's office arrived before I did. I also like being able to access and control the system from anywhere. I routinely disarm the system with my phone, check to make sure everything's intact. I'm just looking to try not to get broken into again and I feel better with it. Overall, I've been real satisfied with Frontpoint.

There are a couple of things that I was hoping they could change. One is where the alarm has gone off and they said that they are going to dispatch the police because I was not home. I didn't know why it was going off. I had to call the police dispatcher later to see what had happened because there was never any follow-up. And then if there was a way to make it where you could set it up and not worry about your pets setting it off because I've had my cat set it off. It says that a cat is not supposed to be able to set it off. Also when I'm leaving, I can't arm it with my sensors when my bigger dog is left out because she will set it off as well.

The installation process was a breeze and the Frontpoint team has always been very friendly when I've called and very patient when we've had the odd false alarm. The only thing is one of the last software updates was a bit strange. The way when you armed the system, the lights are completely different to the way it used to be so it's a bit confusing. I gave that feedback to Frontpoint and at least I felt like I was heard.
The mobile app is very important because sometimes when you leave your house, you don't really remember to put the alarm on and then you can remember in the car and do it. We've been traveling sometimes and it's really handy to be able to turn on the alarm or turn on the lights or off. So being able to control things on the phone is absolutely a critical part of why I like Frontpoint.

We purchased the Frontpoint system about a month before we moved into the house because we were trying to take advantage of a promotion that they were offering. The initial sales rep that I dealt with was very friendly and knowledgeable and their team called me every few weeks to see if we were ready to set up the system. They were really proactive with making sure that we had all the help we needed in order to set it up.
The installation was also very simple and foolproof. The only thing that we had a little bit of trouble with was we have a molding around our doors, so Frontpoint sent us more stickers to help the sensors align properly. Other than that, it was extremely easy. We use the cellphone app when we’re arming and disarming, and we’ve never had any issues with it. We get alerts sent to our phones if the system’s ever triggered. If a certain amount of time goes by and we haven’t set the system to alarm, it will send us a message reminding us to do that.
Overall we feel very safe and don’t have to necessarily worry if something were to happen. On the control panel itself, there's an emergency services button so if anything happened, we push that and it’s like a panic button for us. It’s a nice little peace of mind to have.

The Frontpoint system needs very easy installation. They also have good customer support and good response time. I called at the beginning about some sensors and a motion detector which were too sensitive and they were dealt with pretty good so I'm happy with that. I use my mobile to control the system quite a lot and that one's easy, too. I don't have any issues with it. The only concern I have is the noise level. It seems not very loud if we stay on the second level and I think it can be louder. Other than that, Frontpoint is good and I'm happy with it. I feel much better when I am away because I have it.

Installing the Frontpoint system was very easy. I called them and they walked me through sensor by sensor and the activation. They made sure it was registering on their end and we kept the system going. I didn't have any issues ever since. The app on the phone is decent and I use it all the time. It has most of the controls that you would expect a phone app to have. I can't get to pulling the notification settings on the app but I can easily access that on the web portal.
The only downfall I've noticed is the appearance of the home panel that we have when it runs. We have a touchscreen so it's nice but it does have a lot of lag in the interface between touching it and the actual function. I need to put in my disarm codes and it shows up on the keypad. Then I hit the numbers and there's some lag in between and takes some time to catch up. But disarming through the app on my phone is almost instantaneous because my phone's doing all the computing. So the touchscreen needs to have more capacity and more processing power.

I got Frontpoint for my business and it was easy to install. However, my experience with them has been a little frustrating. They have the devices stuck on the wall, but one didn't stick and fell off so I had to glue them on. Then when the alarm went off, they called me and said, "Is everything okay there?" like I'm at home, but I was on a midnight run when that happened. They didn't seem to know what was going on, but they are fine when asking for help with setting up new devices. Although Frontpoint is definitely cheaper, my previous service from ADT is better because they were more towards businesses unlike Frontpoint, which is more for home use.

The Frontpoint device is easy to install. Just take the tape off the back, put the sensor next to the other sensor, go to the next door and it programs itself. So when I put it all up it's ready to go, then I turn on the other thing and it runs through a systems check and tests everything to make sure all those sensors that I put up are there. Then I start naming them so that the surveillance has the right name and that's it. If I need more stuff, I can order it. Customer service is more than willing to help. At first though, they were hyperactive on any alarms that I get like if I don’t turn the alarm off in a minute, they're calling the police. I had to calm them down and tell them to not call the police that fast because first of all, I don’t know what's going on. I got a teenager at home and it could be very much that he just walked out the door and didn’t turn the alarm off. Other than that, they have been really nice.
I feel more secure at night. My biggest fear was people trying to get in the house and sneak up on me before I knew they were there and now that’s not going to happen. If people break in the house, I'll know it. My wife and I have the app on our phones so we could both turn the system off and on whenever we need to. It works really well and has been useful, though I have to remember to do it. If I set the alarm for no delay, forget that I did that and walk in the door, the alarm would go off.
My experience has been good. The equipment works as advertised and the service is diligent. What I don't like is that I had to sign a three-year contract with them. I did it anyway but now I got bothered more so I wish I hadn't. I have to buy the contract out if I want to get out of it. There's another company called SimpliSafe which has the same kind of cellphone technology and doesn’t make me sign a contract. So if I had to do it all over again, I would probably go with that and am not gonna be signing a contract.

I didn’t want a system that was connected to a telephone line. I did internet research and based on the cost of cellular-based security systems, Frontpoint was rated number one under Google. Installation was really cool and went like a breeze. Frontpoint gave all the sticky stuff to make the two fire alarms, motion sensor, and all the door sensors stick to the wall. Everything is still held up there.
It's always been a great service. I can count three times where it’s been 4:00 in the morning and I’ve accidentally set the alarm off and nobody’s held it against me. I also had a toaster oven issue where a taco caught on fire and I couldn’t get to the phone in time. My girlfriend is second on the list, so Frontpoint called her. I appreciated the severity of the situation but I also appreciated that they immediately didn’t call the fire department and called us first so that the situation didn’t get any more embarrassing than it had to be.

The guys at Frontpoint are pretty easy going. When I've called, they actually took care of me. They bend over backwards to take care of the customer. I haven't really installed it yet because doing the installation myself is not my cup of tea. I found Frontpoint online and they had higher rating than what ADT was getting. Frontpoint gave me an indoor camera. I hooked it up for a while, and it has night vision and records which is nice to have. I got online and it works as far as getting online and looking in the house. They’re a topnotch company in my book.
But I couldn’t really leave the system on because the little dogs would set it off in the hallways. I got Frontpoint because of my dogs, to know that they are safe. I don’t care if people would steal anything in the house, but I don’t want them to kill my dogs. Frontpoint seems to work, because I watch a lot of movies and those shatter things really go off quite a bit. The glass shatter works because I got it right around the TV and when there's some loud noise, it will say, “Sensors going off.” But I never hooked it up because it has to be pretty close to the door. If I would install it, it’d probably be a great product.They're a very good company.

After reviewing a large number of home alarm companies, I had decided to go with Frontpoint based on ratings and overwhelming, positive reviews. We were in the process of purchasing a new home and had ordered the system a few weeks from closing. I had asked the sales rep if this would be an issue. He confidently responded that this would not be an issue. He would set up a reminder to mail out the security system a few days prior to the closing. This didn't happen as I received an email while I was out of country traveling stating that the system had been delivered (2 weeks early). I had to email our realtor to make a special trip out to pick up the system on the front porch. Really, this was no big issue more than just inconvenient...
The next part is the part we are frustrated with. I was told that the way to go was with glass breakage units in the home. This sounded very reasonable. I even sent the sales rep photos of the layout of the home to get the right amount of monitors. He assured me that two would be sufficient. Alas, we would actually need eight to cover all the areas in the home since the glass breakage monitor only covers about 20 ft (line of sight) for the covered area. After reviewing the increased costs, I made the decision to change up to motion detectors as I could do the same thing with only three.
I shipped the glass breakage sensors back and received the new motion detectors. I had surveyed the areas that we would need them in and placed the first one at about eight feet up and had my wife start to walk down the hallway to see if the monitor would catch her movement. It didn't! So I called Frontpoint to get some assistance. It was then I was told that their motion sensors had to be set between 4-5 ft up to work properly. First of all, at that height, they could easily be bumped and knocked down. Secondly, they are not exactly aesthetically pleasing to look at.
I asked the gentleman that was helping me why other motion detectors are set up at a height that was unobtrusive. He stated that this was how Frontpoint's works. It is frustrating that the cost of the equipment and the fact that the customer service (they were always very pleasant to speak with) could not assist made my decision easy. I am going with another alarm company and getting a full refund from Frontpoint.

We live in a fairly stable neighborhood, but a family that bought a house across from ours had a break-in in the midst of their move. I thought it was time to do something and it was more for the fire protection than security itself that I wanted to get a system. I did an online search of security systems and looked at reviews. In our area, Frontpoint had very high reviews. Of 10 companies that were reviewed, it was number nine.
I got the stuff for the system and installed it. I had to do a couple of things extra, though, because my house is older and there were some issues with the tightness of doors. The biggest problem was that some of the doors did not allow for the adhesive to keep it on because they were old aluminum doors. I had to drill and put them in with screws. Their reps have all been really good. Every time I called for whatever reason, they were very helpful and they sent me stuff to try to mount the things before we had to say we needed to use the screws to put the system in.
I've been using Frontpoint for almost a year now. If I forget to set the alarm when I go out, I use the internet to set it from my cell phone. I have several notifications set up for it and I get various ones when it’s disarmed if I’m out, like if my wife disarms it. I like that access and control to the system.

I got Frontpoint at the beginning of this year. I called in when I was installing the system and the gentleman helped me with the whole process and after we were done, he tested each area to make sure the system's working and it was. I was out of town and before I left, I turned the security system on but the back door never activated then some weird flag code came up. I was already out of town for several days when I decided to look at it and noticed the weird wording. The security system was registering an event that should've required a phone call to me and it didn't. The alarm never triggered. If I had known within five minutes that the backdoor didn't execute the way it should have, I would've gone home and tried to figure out the problem.
I called Frontpoint and they said, "That means that the alarm for your backdoor, it has so much time to activate". They didn't have any additional explanation. If it can't activate, the house was vulnerable for that whole time and the system was being bypassed. I sent the incident to them and they didn't call me. That happened twice, so I'm not happy with the service and I unplugged everything. I don’t feel like the system is securing me. It’s not doing me any good right now. I keep getting emails that the system hasn't been active but no one has called me. I'm still paying my three-year contract, but I don't feel confident in their service at all.

We also have an older home and we had to pull out an old security system and all the holes and stuff on the wall were very intrusive. So, we went for something that was less invasive to the home structure. Additionally, even with the organizational discount with ADT, Frontpoint is still less expensive. We also paid ADT a sizeable amount to get out of our contract with them while with Frontpoint, there's no contract.
With ADT some of the services they have with municipalities that we were living in, they were not very responsive. My alarm system would go off and I was not getting a response from the city police or fire. I'm not sure if that had to do with ADT's side of things or if that was a consumer side of things, but I was never notified that that wasn't happening until I had a situation where my home needed police assistance and then they never came. We were not interested in going back to ADT.
The Frontpoint devices are very easy to install. The devices are kind of like 3M stick on's. For the most part in calling and working with their personnel, and their response call center has been very good. As we make adjustments to our call list based on our activities, they're pretty good with customer service in-house and then their response team is very good as well when you have an alarm go off.
The only challenge we've had is the motion sensors did not quite work the way that we had hoped they would work. We have cats jumping around and we were clearly told that the motion sensors would not react to like pet-sized objects moving around. So, it's a little bit different than working with like a dog in the home. We have found that the motion sensors being very responsive, our average-sized cats do set them off. So, that was disappointing but other than that, the installation and use of the device have been very good.
I have a much greater sense of security having Frontpoint in our house. We're believers in all of the components that are included in the security system, including the signs in our front yard, the secret on the door, and then setting our security system. If someone comes in this house, we have the chimes on the door so we know someone's entered the home. If someone's entered the home and they are not supposed to, we will know about that very quickly as well. We've been really happy with Frontpoint so far and I have recommended them to friends.

I looked up about Frontpoint online and they seemed like the right fit. The system was real easy to install and self-explanatory. The app is also easy to use and pretty simple. We use it all the time. Overall, it's been a positive experience. Unfortunately, we can't upgrade. They require us to purchase our cameras upfront and they don’t have a payment plan. The other companies we've looked at were all willing to take payments and put it over the first couple of months. Frontpoint is the only company that requires that we make a full payment for their cameras or they’ll add it to our plan. We didn’t like that, so we'll probably go to another company in the future.

I had a good experience talking to everybody. I also like being able to arm and disarm the device using the phone. However, when I sometimes do it from the main console, it's laggy. I prefer an improvement on that. Other than that, everything else is great.
Thank you for sharing your experience Laura! We're happy that your system is making you feel safer as we always aim to provide greater peace of mind. We appreciate the great rating and let us know if you need anything in the future!

We have had a little addition to our family about six months ago and my wife wanted to feel a little safer because there was one break-in up the street. We're in a safe neighborhood, but that still shook her. So now, my wife feels safer since having Frontpoint, though I'd be happier if they could make my rates cheaper. I use the app every day. I set my alarm while in bed at night and I'm also able to do it if I'm at work and forgot to set it. That was one of the selling points. It's everything we've looked for. I've seen the other signs from different companies out there, but Frontpoint is the new wave and we're satisfied with what they provide.
We're so happy to hear that you and your family now have the peace of mind you deserve knowing you and your home are protected! Thanks for being a part of our family and please let us know if there is anything we can ever do for you going forward.

We've been with Frontpoint for 3 years. The system on the first house that we got it on was fine, but we're not really happy with our current one. Our alarm keeps going off at all hours of the night for no apparent reason, and we can't seem to get it fixed. Every time we turn it on, it wakes us up in the middle of the night, so we just don’t even turn it on anymore. We've called tech support four times now, and it just isn’t working for us. They can't figure out what's wrong with it, and we can't either.
Cole, thank you for bringing this to our attention! It is important to us that your system work exactly how you need it to which is why we are happy to see that you were able to speak with one of our Support Supervisors and that they were able to address your concerns. Thanks again and please let us know if you ever need anything else going forward!

The touchscreen monitor which was the brain of the operation was freezing. I called Frontpoint and their guy did an update to the machine. They didn't roll out the update and that was my only issue which was minor. I had to call in to get my system updated. Other than that, I’ve been pleased with Frontpoint. I use their app on my phone all the time and it's awesome. I’m also pretty pleased with the thermostat. It’s been a good experience with them.

Frontpoint was one of the best recommended security systems as per my husband's research and we're having a really good experience with them. Once when we didn't get the alarm shut off in time, they've been very courteous and very kind. Also, we both like their mobile app. It's great. If we leave the house and forget to turn the alarm on, we could do it from wherever we are. And it also alerts us if the alarm goes off. We get a text and an email. I would recommend this security system.
We're so happy to hear that you are enjoying your system and that smartphone app!

I've been using Frontpoint for two years now and the experience installing the device was good. I use the app daily and the only downside to it is the time that it takes for the app to update from an activity on the camera for the app to give notification.
Thank your feedback and let us know if you need anything the future.

I had Monitronics before but I had to put new windows in the house and I needed new window stickers. They said they'd ship this for $14.95. That really upset me. I said that I was only asking for half a dozen new window stickers. So, I went looking and found Frontpoint and I've been pleased with them. We arm and disarm our system when we go in and out the door and we have the mobile one that's on the key chain but we don't use it. We'd just gotten in the habit of using it right at the door.
So far, I get a quick phone call from them if it went off. It went off one time inadvertently but they called to know if everything was okay and wanted to know my password. And then one time I went in and twisted the key and started to open the door, and thought I had to do something else and didn't realize I'd set it off. I got the police department calling and I said I pulled a dummy move. I like that they don't hesitate and I've been very satisfied with the service.
Thank you for your feedback Tom! Don't hesitate to reach out to us if you need anything in the future!
