I did a cost analysis and feature comparison and I found out that Frontpoint's features are better than its competition, so I went with them. The installation of our security device was easy. The built in mobile control is great. So far, my experience has been good. I have recommended them, and friends have joined because of it.
We thank you for great rating and the recommendations!

I had an awesome experience in installing the Frontpoint security device. It was reasonably easy and the customer service is excellent. But the installation process is not fast. I had to make an appointment with somebody, sit on the phone with them for a couple of hours and go through each process and make sure each piece is working properly. But it's very well organized and the reps took it slowly because they want it to be right which is good. I also use the app online and on my phone to do various things with the system. Frontpoint has been excellent from beginning to end. Their service is awesome and every person I talked to was top-notch. It's been a really great experience.
We believe that you deserve the best customer service and we are happy to provide you with just that! Thanks for being a part of our family and please don't hesitate to give us a call if you ever need anything in the future.

My husband did some investigating, looked online for different security systems and how they're rated. My Frontpoint device is portable so I can install it myself and if I move, I can take it with me. The sales rep was very good, and the customer service is excellent. The only time that I ever had a problem was that the actual home screen had to be updated which I'm assuming any computer generated device has to do that. So the problem was setting off the alarm when it shouldn't have but that only happened once, I quickly called customer service and they figured the problem out.

We had something stolen off the property and we were afraid that somebody could break in just as easily. That's why we installed the Frontpoint. We feel a little bit better about it. It was simple to install, but I did have some problems getting the sensors to stick on the doors and the door frame. So I had to re-order more sticky material to make it work. There should be a little bit more of that tape in there to make it a little easier to do and a little more dependable. These things and even the house is depending on these sensors so they ought to be a way so that they don't fall or drop because if it drops a little bit and the gap is too big then it won't work.
The team has been pleasant, friendly and helpful. I just called the number and gave them the password. There's been a few times when there was a little bit of a wait time but all in all it was good. Their interactive features using the phone seems to work. It's a nice feature to be able to do. If I forget to arm it, I can do it while away and I can look into the phone and tell me if it's armed. Though I'm not sure if it's a safe way to do it.
There's a lot of security systems out there and some of them are a lot more elaborate but a lot more expensive cost to turn on it. We did have a couple of other motion sensors that we bought and places inside the house but we don't always activate them. We have cats roaming around inside the house so it's kind of tricky about that. We have a two storey house and the pets sometimes go up and down the steps. So when they get up off the ground, on the steps the sensor might catch their motion and trigger it.
We haven't had a lot of problems and it's been going for several months in a row without any glitches. I like to have cameras that would take pictures of people if they were coming around the house, but it's costly. Other than that, it's a good and affordable system that will at least give you some peace of mind that's fairly simple to operate.
Glad to hear that our Support Team was able to assist you when you needed them and that the smartphone app makes the system easier to use! Thank you for your feedback and let us know if you need anything in future!

Frontpoint provides wonderful home protection and peace of mind, especially these days when people are crazy. Installation was really easy. We called them if we had any issues and they troubleshoot it over the phone. I also love having access to the system anytime anywhere. It makes things so much easier like an extra security layer because I know I can set it to when a door or window opens it tells me. If someone tried to enter our home without our permission we'll know about it. I feel a lot better knowing that I have extra protection like if I'm by myself before my husband gets home or when we're away from the house. Overall, Fronpoint is a really great company. The service is tailored to where I can pick and choose what I want. They really are more than willing to help me with anything I need. The price point is spot on and a good value.

Frontpoint seems like a user-friendly system. Installation was easy. Instructions came with the box and I called the lady over the phone and she walked me through a few issues. She was absolutely friendly. The mobile app is a great feature. When I pull in the driveway, I can disarm the alarm without having to run into the house and push buttons. Having the system gives me a little more peace of mind when I'm away. It's been a pleasant and painless experience. I put it in and it works.

I was doing some home automation and everything that I was doing related to my home automation had Frontpoint as the leading provider so I chose them. However, I didn’t like doing the installation all by myself. It's not really difficult, but I just wish there was some help offered. Nevertheless, I had excellent interactions with their reps and I definitely feel more secure now. I use their interactive feature regularly and it’s awesome. I just wish somebody could come to my home and give me a tutorial. If it was possible, there are more products that I want, but I'd like somebody to come to my home and help me with them.

The Frontpoint device was easy to install. We've set the alarm off a couple of times but those weren't a big deal. Arming and disarming through my smartphone is primarily how I use the system. I wouldn't have gotten Frontpoint if I couldn't use my phone to do so. We travel a lot and the security system is more for when we're away than when we're home. But everything's been as advertised and as expected. Frontpoint's been fine for us.

I've used Frontpoint for over a year. Before I got them, I used Vector Security. Of those two services, I prefer Vector because it was cheaper. I'm sure I can find cheaper security services available right now. Nevertheless, I've had a good experience overall with Frontpoint. It was easy installing my security device. Since installing it, I feel way safer. I use Frontpoint's interactive features all the time, like being able to arm or disarm my system using my phone or computer. This feature is okay and works fine. However, sometimes when the alarm sets off, nobody calls. I hope it's just because the Frontpoint guys see in the monitor that everything's okay. But with another security company, whenever the alarm would set off, they would always call just to verify that everything is okay.

I was doing a search for different security providers in our area. It had been so long since we had had a security, we thought we might want to put one back on. And Frontpoint had the best rating. Installing Frontpoint was very easy. They sent us the stuff that was already preprogrammed. And once we put it in, we had one sensor that malfunctioned. They took it back immediately and then sent us another one. The team has always been extremely helpful in any of my needs whenever I call them. We also have armed and disarmed the system using their app and it’s extremely important to my husband and me because we are on the road most of the time.

I googled the best security system and the first one was Frontpoint popped up. I called their customer service and their guys were so kind. They took care of me with all the equipment. My money was tight but they gave me a good deal, discounts. Then the next thing I like about them is that nobody had to come in my house and set up the equipment. That's because I never know what the people coming from outside and into my house are gonna do.
I did the installation on my own which was so easy, like a 2-year can do it. I just had to pay and inspect the system. No wires and nothing I had to drill. Then they call and activate it remotely. The guy I talked to through the whole process was so professional. We were on the phone for an hour or so as I had many questions and he answered all of them. He also took the time to go to every single thing we would need. The process was very fast. In my job, I do a lot of customer service and the Frontpoint guys were way more polite than myself. They have a lot of patience, took the time to walk me through the stuff and always addressed me by sir.
I had Comcast before and they suck. Comcast's signal is not that great. The only way I can get service with them is if I have the cable in the house with the internet. If the cable line's cut, that's it. That's when I tried to get my alarm off. It went up for 20 minutes and no one called me. They don't have a backup cellular network unlike Frontpoint wherein it's wireless. And only Frontpoint has got that service. That's why I changed to Frontpoint. And with them, when my brother accidentally opened the door and the alarm went off, within two or three minutes, Frontpoint called. Nobody answered and so they sent a fire truck. Frontpoint is really fast in responding to a call which is what I like.
I have their app on my phone which is what I use to control the system. I had my wife use hers, too, on the phone, like when she comes home to arm it. When I leave, I arm it and if I open the door, I can disarm in from my phone. I love that feature because it's so much better and nowadays, everywhere I go, I always have the phone with me. And with the app, I can also take snapshots. I have the image sensor on the front of my door and sometimes, I take a picture of the door to see what's going on in the house. Then I can send that picture which is a feature I love. I had a camera outside of my house, too, because I like to have eyes outside, too as it's not peaceful anymore. Frontpoint has been awesome. The company is number one in my list for customer service. They're the best.

Installation of the Frontpoint system was fine but we've had to change some of the equipment already in the first year so we were not happy with that. The main control panel we had to swap out, as well as a couple of sensors. What also worries me is the fact that the control panel is still all electric and if the power goes out, the whole thing is disarmed. But the fact that there's a phone app is good. Having that access to the system is fantastic.

I have Frontpoint for about a year now. Both of my daughters installed it for me and it worked fine. Everybody at Frontpoint was very helpful. In the beginning, we discovered that the app for the phone was very slow. They recommended that I call AT&T, my phone provider. AT&T recommended that I download the app through the app store which I did and it made all the difference.

Installing our Frontpoint system wasn't easy so we had to hire someone to do it for us. They sent us a door sensor where it has to be put on the door frame and the door but it wouldn't stick, they kept falling off. So, they sent us the kind that has to be drilled into the door and the door frame but we didn't have the tools to be able to do that. So, we hired someone to do the drilling. Also, we couldn't get our camera to stick on the wall. So we had the same guy drill the screws into the wall for the camera. We've tried their interactive features and so far it's fine but it's standard with all security systems, so I don't think it's anything groundbreaking.

I had a dilemma when I was putting in my Frontpoint system as the sensors wouldn't stick on the wall but after that, everything was fine. Their team has been fine too, except for one time that my alarm went off in the middle of the night because the sensor fell off the wall. The rep seemed half asleep and irritated that I kept him on the phone. I explained how I needed to find out if somebody was at my house and if they should call the cops or not, and he told me he'll wait, but he seemed annoyed.

I've been with Frontpoint for 12 months now. It was easy to install the security device. I already knew where they needed to be, so it was very simple. The people at Frontpoint have been really nice. I called a couple of times because the alarms fell off, and I had to make sure that the police weren't called. They've always been responsive. The only thing is that the security system itself is a little more sensitive than my previous provider, and also, anytime the alarm was tripped, the previous provider immediately contacted me which I have not experienced with Frontpoint. It takes a bit longer to get through to somebody.
In addition, I walked in the other day after the alarm system have already been set, and I noticed that my motion sensors didn't trigger anything at all. I'm going to go back today and test them because I'm a little concerned that it's an issue and if it is, I would assume that Frontpoint would have seen that and gotten a hold of me but it hasn't happened. Realistically, the alarm systems are designed to scare people away because we know that the police aren't going to respond that quick. I wish they were more quick to respond, but overall it's okay. My experience has been average.

The only concern I have is if something happens and the house is broken into and how quickly they would respond to getting police out here. I don't know what would happen if the alarm triggers off because I haven't had anything happen. The service is also pretty expensive because I had to buy all the equipment.

I decided to go with Frontpoint given the price-point, the reviews and what they said about the customer service. The installation was simple. I mounted the adhesive of the sensors over my doors and windows and I called Frontpoint once they were up then tey activated it and it was done. The features on the device and the system are well-designed. It's nice having a feature on my phone so that I can arm, disarm, and check who's coming in and out or when effective when any sensor is open. I recently got the remote controls for a bit more ease of use in terms of arming and disarming, but also because of the panic feature.
Having the alarm system makes me feel much more secure. It’s good to know that I have the motion sensors as well so I know that when anything happens, it’ll go off. They’ve been triggered unintentionally by my mother-in-law or my wife and Frontpoint calls immediately every time to check in. So, I am reassured that if something were to happen, the system will work properly and that they would be on top of it. They have great and responsive customer service.

I've been extremely happy with Frontpoint. I was looking for a security company and they were rated the best everywhere I looked so I used them. I've loved everybody I had to speak to there. I have moved now and I've brought the system with me but I haven't called Frontpoint yet to tell them that I've moved and set it up, but I always used the arming and disarming app with my phone and computer. They explained everything to me really well where I can go in and change the names of the devices if I want to.
I was under the impression that I didn't have to pay for the monthly service fee of $45 a month. One day I called Frontpoint and asked if I could stop paying it for a little while because I needed to find ways to save some money, and they said I couldn't. They explained to me that I was wrong about that, but they said, "What we can do for you since you're trying to look for ways to save money is we can knock your payment down for six months from $45 to $10." That postponed my contract agreement with them for six months but I was able to pay $10 a month for six months which made me extremely happy, too. They've been wonderful and I feel a lot safer having them. Even just putting the sign in the yard and stickers on the windows and doors up made me feel a lot better.

I used Vector Security before being with Frontpoint but I like Frontpoint better. With them, I can control my alarm from my phone and I think it's an amazing feature. It feels secure because I don't have to wonder if I set the alarm when I walk out of the house. I can simply check it on my phone. My interactions with their team have been great as well. They're always helpful.
However, I don't like my alarm kit sitting on my table. I would much rather for it to be mounted and for someone to actually come out and do it versus me doing it myself. I do wish that Frontpoint actually did the installation since doing it myself has been difficult. It was hard to get everything put up because I still had an alarm system set up at my house. The last time I had it done, the previous company removed everything so it was easier to put the system up. It has also been a problem trying to replace the batteries of Frontpoint's device.

What's good about Frontpoint is when something was wrong with the sensor, they told me exactly which one and where it was wrong, like when the battery went low.

Frontpoint's device was also easy to install and they were very helpful when I had trouble with part of the installation. I had a question about setting up the console and I called someone and he walked me through it. I didn't have to wait on hold which was a good thing.
The arming and disarming app works fine too. It's nice to be able to look at the system and turn it on or off remotely. I forget to turn it on when we leave, so it's good to remember. One time the cleaning service we used set off the alarm and they had forgotten their code. The police came and we got a warning that there shouldn't be any more false alarms, but I was very glad they came because the system actually works. Overall, Frontpoint is competitive with other products out there although they have nothing particularly innovative.

During the installation, we got some parts mixed up, and had to put it again. They don’t send extra glue to put on the wall. And I was running out of tape to put on the wall because they didn’t send any extra tapes. So now, the sensor keeps falling because the tape that they send is not very good. Also, one sensor went off while I was working. I was getting calls from Frontpoint saying that my sensor is on. And when I got here, nothing happened. But the app on my phone works how it’s supposed to do and it's good. Overall, my experience has been not so great but okay.

I originally got the Frontpoint system so I'd be sure the house was safe and if there's a patch of people here when I'm not here that they'd be safe. Right now it's not doing that. The alarm in the basement kept going off and there was no fire down there. They called and we told them I was all right. The machine is pretty loud and it's really hard on my ear. I couldn't make it be quiet so I just took the batteries out of it. We get charged $40 every month around the contract but right now I can't even use it because every time we do, it keeps going off. I'm on a fixed income and it's a notable expense. I'm also not thrilled that it's a contract deal. It's hard to get out of this contract but I'm stuck.
My son is a mechanical engineer and he got frustrated with Frontpoint too so I'm not the only one. He called them back and he was trying to get it straightened out and Frontpoint said somebody from the technical department is gonna have to talk him. He's talked to people on the phone a couple of times and it's still not straightened out. He's coming home for Thanksgiving and I'll have to go without or just stay close to home until then for safety purposes. I hate to go too far because I know the system isn't working.

We've used our Frontpoint security system for about a year. It may not be great, but it's okay. I don't use it as often as I might, since my wife works from home, so she's here a lot. In the more distant past, we used another home security service, but not immediately before we went with Frontpoint. We had ADT's security system once before. Likewise, it wasn't great, but it was okay. Our interaction with the team at Frontpoint was set off one time when we first got the security system, and they were fine.
It was easy enough to use our Frontpoint system, which is a minimal security system. Overall, it's adequate. I don't see anybody with any ingenuity get right around it, but it will monitor the doors. The online portion of the system or the onto your device equipment isn't particularly friendly and can be improved, but the system works. My wife can use the phone and turn the alarms on and off from the driveway with relative success. I'm not anywhere near having a satisfactory remote experience with the alarm system. I can turn it on and run back in the door quickly, and get it off before it calls the cops. But the ability to monitor and see things from a distance would be useful. I know who robbed us right before we got our security system, but that person has moved away, and our system hasn't been put to any test since then.

We were with a home security provider before. Then we decided to replace it so I researched to find commentary on different security systems. The main things I looked for was customer support, responsiveness to incidents and also the richness of the product portfolio. And Frontpoint seemed to come out ahead in the research I had. Installation went well. A good job was done with the packaging so it was very easy to unpack the boxes. The different components were very clearly marked. They also provided some extras that a less thoughtful company might not have thought of, like the sticky stuff to make things easier to attach. We called customer support a few times either for questions or problems and they were always very helpful. Customer support experience was one of the primary criteria I used in selecting and Frontpoint really got good marks for that.
We’ve got the iPhone app on all of our different phones and iPads. That’s my primary means of communicating with the system because the console is a very clunky interface. And there's one main problem with the app. Apple has a framework called HomeKit that allows one to integrate home devices more deeply into the iOs operating system. I work in the tech industry and have shared this feedback with Frontpoint's CEO about a year ago that they really need to support Homekit because it would be such a better experience for Apple users. Apple tends to have the more affluent consumers so there would be a high overlap between people who buy expensive security systems and people who use iPhones and iPads. It's really annoying that that hasn't been done yet.
I even mentioned on the forum that when the contract's over, if Frontpoint hasn't adopted HomeKit and there's somebody else with comparable customer service who has, I'll switch because that's important to me. That's a dealbreaker even if we're happy with Frontpoint at the moment. Frontpoint has great customer service but their system needs HomeKit.
We really appreciate your great suggestions and will definitely pass your feedback along to our Product Team!

Frontpoint has been my home security service provider for a year now. I built a new house, 4,630 square feet, that has a lot of molding and crown. Thus those Frontpoint sensors aren't sticking well on molding of the door or windows. In fact, Frontpoint had to send me a larger sensor for the master slider since it's so far away from my main terminal. It won't stay on the wall so finally, I just bought some two-sided Velcro which sticks better.
We live on the river, in a pretty good neighborhood and we just use Frontpoint if we're out of town. We've never had to use it so it's just like insurance. I don't know whether I like Frontpoint or not though. There have only been a couple of times that we accidentally opened the door.

When I changed house though, I had a very challenging situation because they left me with no security for several days. They were supposed to send me a free camera but what ended up happening was they sent me a whole new system startup kit. Now, here I am with two systems but no camera. It was really screwy.
When I finally got hold of a manager, he went back through all the emails of the guy that placed the order for me and messed it up. But they fixed it and were very cordial and apologetic. I understand people make mistakes but they left me with no security for several days and I was a little upset about that, because it was in the middle of a move. A lot of people get targeted when moving into a house so I had to change my plans.
I also had a bad camera, but Frontpoint sent me another one and I sent the other one back. I haven't hooked up the new one yet because it's kind of a pain. But I feel like the technology that I'm using is old, maybe a five or six-year old technology. There's other stuff out there that's newer. I feel like at some point I'm gonna make a decision to either keep them on or upgrade. It just seems very difficult to get a camera to work. I have to unplug it, plug it into the router, then wait for something, then go back to get this other thing, then wait. Also, a lot of times the camera lose connection and they don't work.

If not the individual, I would call back and find someone else who would be able to give me a better answer.
Being able to access and control the system anytime, anywhere's good. However our house builder put a liner on the roof that’s like a tinfoil. From what I heard people say, it interferes with cell phone reception. So when I access the system and I arm or disarm it in my home, I’m always using Wi-Fi reception, not my cellphone's. Then coming out of my house, the cellphone carrier that I use is not as great, so sometimes there would be a delay when I'm trying to arm the system. But other than that, it’s easy and simple to use. I can control the temperature in the house as I set it up with one of those thermostats that can remotely access the cellphone app and that’s convenient.
I have one of those smart locks where I put in a code and open the door instead of using a key. And so that’s tied in to the system where I put in the code and where it will disarm the system once the code for the door is put in and the alarm would disarm. Sometimes with some of the individuals who have access to the door, the system wouldn’t recognize that they came in and then it would alarm. And I wonder sometimes if Frontpoint get the alarm, are they always supposed to call and say, “Hey. Is everything all right?” Or is that just based on how long the alarm goes off? That’s the only thing I would have to get clarified because sometimes they would call and sometimes they wouldn’t.

Some of my friends who use Frontpoint recommended them to me. Their phone app is functional, and installation of the security device was easy. It’s efficient and simple to use, though it made too much noise at 3 or 4 AM early this year. I think that’s because of the weather since maybe there was a storm or it's raining outside.

Everything went well during the installation. I ordered the wrong door part so I ended up having to return those and it was pretty easy. They sent me a new one with no extra cost. I use the interactive feature daily and it's great. The only downfall is I'm in Canada and the pricing is in American dollars so it changes from month to month. It would have been a little better if it's a Canadian price. Nevertheless, everything has been pretty straightforward and they're helpful so I'd recommend them for sure.

Frontpoint is a great company to deal with. They're top notch and the best customer service I've ever dealt with. I had a house break in and at that point, I decided to get a home security system. When I was doing my research Frontpoint jumped out at me as being a leader. They sell cameras to go with that system but I went ahead and bought the cameras and installed those myself. I have not armed Frontpoint for glass break or door entry, but have cameras around that I monitor. The sensors are unobtrusive.
I bought a sensor and as I was about to arm the system my screen froze. I spoke with Damian, and he did a system update, and it went quick and flawlessly. Damian determined that one of the motion sensors or image sensors failed. I might have one on my doorsteps soon. I've never had any better customer service in my life. Their people know their product, they're succinct, and professional. I can reach a person and I don't have to go through a thousand phone prompts. I feel safer in having the system. I feel good with my ten cameras getting images, but I also feared getting a false alarm, walking in and forgetting to disarm it. I've been hassled to even go through the motions. Everyone in Frontpoint has been a great player.

With me being alone, I wanted to make sure that I wasn't going to have to worry about somebody breaking in on me and not knowing it, and I feel a lot better with Frontpoint. I'm not having any problems. I like Frontpoint better than my previous security provider. The installation was pretty quick. I don't have to wire it by my door or anything. I just plug it in. However, I had to talk to the supervisor one time because of a negative experience, but he fixed it. They charged me for something that they shouldn't have charged me for, and in return, he gave me a refund plus two months free monitoring. He was very nice.
My alarm went off one time and I wasn't home. I didn't understand why it went off. I talked to one of their reps and I said, "Are you telling me somebody's in my house?" The rep said, "Well, I can't tell you if somebody is in your house. I'm just telling you that it went off." But when I'm home I have set it off myself a couple of times because I forget the motion sensors on and I walk in my kitchen and it goes off. I try to pay more attention to that.

The installation process was fine, but we've had some issues with some of the sensors since then, and their resolution to that was less than satisfactory. I had a sensor that failed and was constantly raising a false alarm which I was then being charged for by Frontpoint because of the responder service that they had to send out. They offered to replace the sensor which we did, but that did not resolve the issue, and I continue to have the issue today. The team is courteous and friendly, but they were never able to fully diagnose the issue that I've had.
In terms of the price that they're offering, one thing that Frontpoint doesn't make very clear is that depending on where I live, they may not be able to offer monitoring service. So, they have to have somebody come out and anytime somebody has to come out, it's an additional fee whereas in most security services that fee is built into the price. I wasn't too happy with Frontpoint's service, they are over-promised and under-delivered, and I don't use the service because it's not working for us.

I came home and wanted to open the door, but it was locked from inside.

Frontpoint was the worst company I’ve ever dealt with in my life. It’s a really crappy deal. When we started the ball rolling, they gave us a price but before you know it, they’re already trying to lower the pricing to get us down to be competitive. They should give us a solid price at the get-go instead of trying to beat somebody up only to find out later that they can do it for a cheaper price which they did. They kept dropping until they could get down to the price where the competitors were. I wish that I just went somewhere else.
I have a contract with them so I can’t get out of it. I could’ve pushed the issue a little bit because I had some legality with them. But they sent me this kit that we have to install ourselves while the competitors come out and install the kit with a person that has some workmanship. Although I can do anything that anybody else can do, I thought it was no big deal. I found out that they sent the wrong stuff because my doors won’t close and they never checked to find out about what kind of door I had. They just sent some random kit that they thought would fit. So, I called them and I told them that I had problems. They didn’t call back until all of a sudden, they’re wanting my payment. I told them that I’m not giving them payment until they figured out what I needed to get my alarm set up.
So, after six months, they said they were going to turn me in to a collection agency when in fact their system don't work! I got tired of calling but somebody finally called to fix my problem. They sent me all these stuff that was supposed to repair my problems, which didn’t. A year later, I’m still dealing with the same crap. I just got it resolved about two months ago. And, even now, I’m a little frustrated because I don’t have the stuff that I really should’ve had for the windows.

It’s easy to do. The sensors all work but we had one that ended up being replaced, which they did quickly.
We arm and disarm the system on our app. In fact, today we have a family member who's leaving. She'll let us know when she leaves, locks the door, and then, one of us will turn it on. It’s great.

So, we use the electronic service more often and then only at night do we really set it from the main monitor.
Every single time the fire alarm goes off, they’ve called within minutes. And once when my phone was dead and we didn’t answer the other phone, they sent the fire department within 10 minutes of the alarm going off. They're really responsive and always polite.

I did some research and Frontpoint came as number one. I like their mobile feature which I didn't have before. The app is really nice and I don’t have any issues with it so far. Everything is pretty straightforward and works as designed. The team is also really helpful. They are very, very friendly people. However, my previous home security provider was available anytime 24/7 but Frontpoint isn't. They only have emergency that is available. If I ask for support, they only work Monday through Friday, 9:00 to 5:00, and that’s a little bad to me. For a security system, I’m expecting they have support 24/7. And though the installation was quite easy, their adhesive on back of the fire alarm is really bad. It has fallen off a few days back and it’s tampered the system so I need to call them for a replacement. They can improve those two areas. Nevertheless, I recommend Frontpoint to my friends.

I was traveling for work so I needed to get a home security service. I used ConsumerAffairs and a couple of other sites to get a feel of how people felt about Frontpoint. The system was a breeze to set up, no issues or difficulties doing it. The people at Frontpoint are fantastic to work with. I called them a couple of times, mostly with questions. I called them during the initial set up and everyone was very pleasant, easy to work with, always in a good mood, always helpful.
One of the primary reasons I went with Frontpoint was the ability to access and control it anytime and anywhere. I use the app to arm and disarm my system more than I do it from the console. If they didn’t have it, I’d probably end up switching to a company that did. My family, in general, felt more secure having the system. I wanted to expand my system, but their pricing tends to make me think twice about it so I haven’t added as much as I would normally. Add-on services and devices are a little cost-prohibitive at times. If you do tell them that, sometimes they’ll come up with discounts for you. That's the only complaint about the system, other than that, I love everything about it. Overall, it was a reliable and pleasant experience.

We had ADT for close to 17 years. It was okay, but it was becoming obsolete because it was not wireless. When we needed to upgrade and we were having problems, they were so extremely busy that they cut us off for a week. That was the deal breaker so we decided to change to Frontpoint. My husband did the installation and it was relatively easy and did not take him too long.
I like being able to access the system from my phone. If I have to have the neighbor come over, I can easily disarm the system and it’s more convenient that way. Recently there’s been a few times where the app has been difficult from my phone and I’m not sure why. I’ll have to try to rearm and a lot of times it won’t go quickly, but that was the only problem. There's been a couple of times where the alarm has gone off and their team has been quick to call.

Frontpoint fits our needs in terms of accessibility, being able to activate it on the phone which was really important. It has quick alert which every system has and also the price point was reasonable. The installation wasn't straightforward as my husband who did the installation was on the phone for quite some time. But other than that we know that the system works and their response was very quick. We had an instance where a smoke alarm went off and my mother didn't know how to turn off the alarm, and the fire station showed up right away.

With my previous service provider, it was a lot more cumbersome to put in the code because I had to push a whole bunch of buttons whenever I left. When I come back, it's the same way. But with Frontpoint, everything was a lot more technologically advanced and a lot easier using it. I don't have all these wires running on the walls. It just has the blocks plugged in like the telephones. When I leave, I only have to push one button to arm and it’s very easy to disarm it when I come back. I had a couple of problems during the installation though. The little things wouldn't stick when I put them up on the doors. Sometimes one would pop off when I open the door because it's pointing in toward the door. And once, a little magnet piece popped off and went through the deck. So I called. They were very nice and they just sent another one out here. But overall, Frontpoint is so much simpler and it's all more automatic.

Our Frontpoint experience so far has been very good. We have all kinds of different services here on the block, but we decided to go with Frontpoint because their features are better and the pricing was fair. The installation was very quick. If you follow the instructions, no problem at all. The only tricky thing has been the motion alarm because it’s so sensitive that I have to be careful about our cats. We have four cats and we’re concerned that they’re going to set off the motion alarm downstairs so we’re playing with that, but I’m very happy with the service right now. We’re growing into it rather than the other way around. This is our first system so we’re kinda lucky to hear those beeps when the cats come in.
Having Frontpoint has cut down on the number of people that hang around the house that shouldn’t be, which I really like. We have a lot of teenagers on the block and they have nowhere to go to play and therefore they select people’s yards. I turn on the back porch light and if one of them tries to break the glass or come through a window, I’ll know it. I've also called Frontpoint once and they were very helpful. Everybody seems to have a pretty good attitude which I like. I get somebody on the end of the line that actually knows what they’re doing. We were a little surprised to find out that we were live already because we never called in and said we were live, but we’re working around that. But overall my first attempt with a security system has been successful and I’ve found the right company in Frontpoint.

We are generally happy with Frontpoint. We've used their security system for over a year now, and it's a good system. The only part we don't like is that it's a little bit on the expensive side. We installed our security device ourselves, and it was pretty straightforward and easy to do. The only problem we had in the installation was that we tried several devices, and the device on one of the doors with a camera doesn't work, so that door was unprotected, but we put a camera sensor on there, which solved the problem. We've tried arming and disarming our system from our app or computer, and we do that all the time. We definitely feel safer, especially after last month when several houses in a row on our street were burglarized and the houses with security systems were skipped. Thanks to Frontpoint for their promptness in calling us and making sure that everything is okay when the alarm goes off. That is a good feature.

We've been pleased with Frontpoint. We have them for a year now. It was a quick installation but my preference would be not to have to install anything myself. We had to make a couple of calls before everything was working properly. They were patient in making sure that all of the sensors were set appropriately. We had to get a replacement sensor because the adhesive wasn't working properly but that was not a problem.
Then one time, one of the sensors triggered an error because it wasn't aligned properly. They were courteous and patient in talking us through and testing to make sure that it was working. It was a good experience talking with them. They were knowledgeable and always able to answer all my questions. Frontpoint has been a cost-effective, straightforward means of securing our home.

It’s been a peace of mind for me to have Frontpoint as my security system. We installed it in December of last year and I just had to make a call to the tech support to activate all the sensors. I also had a couple of other calls with Frontpoint and everyone has been nice. The system is easy to use and any layman can use it. It's simple and my wife and I love it.
I'm a techie guy so I use all the online features and everything Frontpoint has. What has resonated well is the integration, especially sensor integrations with other home hubs. There's only one thing that I had been requesting: I'm using their app now and I cannot do any scheduled remote log in/log off so I cannot arm it automatically at this time. I have to get up or pick up the phone to arm it. If they can actually integrate the Frontpoint system into one of those universal hubs, then that will be amazing. That I can activate it from anywhere in the world is an added advantage for me.
