    I used Frontpoint because of its convenience, you can arm or disarm it from your app or your computer. Installing the device was easy and the people at Frontpoint were very knowledgeable, helpful and nice. Having the device gives me peace of mind and a sense of security. It’s a little pricey and I wish that it was a little bit cheaper. Despite that, I would still recommend it to a friend.

    We have a new home and we've installed Frontpoint's security device. It's easy to install and everything is pretty much straightforward. I've had other home security provider before and Frontpoint is a much better system. I can easily control it through my phone and it's user-friendly.

    After reading all the reviews, I guess I am one of only a handful of new customers that is frustrated with the activation and installation of this security system. Frontpoint support team has been exceptional! No complaints there and I am sure the service is exceptional if only I could get it to work properly. My wife and I are being patient despite having ordered the product and service two weeks ago, getting it shipped snail mail and now experiencing connectivity problems with panel, panel experiencing glitch and doorbell camera not syncing with my WiFi.

    I am now having to purchase 12V extension cords for my two wireless cameras. I am purchasing a router extender because the signal strength to my door camera is weak. I am willing to do this because of threats I received from family members that have prompted me to invest in this home security system for my family's safety and evidence. I will probably keep this service despite these problems.

    Frontpoint has more security features to offer and what I need than my previous service was able to provide. At first, it seemed I was only going to invest approx. $240 because of what I was told that everything would be compatible with their system. Unfortunately for me, it wasn't and have now invested over $900 (including cameras). I wish they had on-site techs to come out and install, it would have made life easier for me and my wife. It has been two weeks and still don't have a fully functioning system. With all the positive reviews I see on here; if true, I wish that were me. If this consumer review site wants validity, please contact Frontpoint and use my contact information I have provided to look up the status of my work order because I was not given a work order number.

    I went with Frontpoint because of their price, service, quality, and reviews. Another reason was the interactive feature which I thought was necessary. I use it everyday. The security device was relatively easy to install and since then, I feel safer. However, the police gave me a ticket a couple of weeks after installing the device because they said it wasn’t registered with the county and I thought Frontpoint handled that.

    I found out about Frontpoint through the ConsumerAffairs website when I was doing research. I've had them for a little over a year now, and all of the people who I have had to contact have been pleasant, helpful, understanding, and have always managed to get back to me to make sure that everything was going well. I'm very happy with the way they respond when I need them because in the beginning there were a couple of times when I forgot that the alarm was on and they immediately called and made sure everything was okay. I canceled it, but they still called to make sure it was all okay. They were right on the ball. I now sleep a lot better and my grandkids too, when they visit me. I don't live in a bad neighborhood but I know nothing is secure.

    I used a different provider before and they were faster than Frontpoint in getting to responses with things. The alarm went off one time and it never registered correctly on their servers which was kind of a fluke. They freaked out about that when I explained it to them and they didn't believe me until I had them go to the log to find it. But I like the customization of Frontpoint more and their reps have been helpful. In the end it boils down to the wireless system. I'm not a fan and I'd love to have a wired version of Frontpoint but I don't know if that even exists. The biggest thing for me is that it helps my wife. I could care less if I have a German Shepherd that's trained to kill things. It doesn't bother me at all. But my wife can obviously sleep whenever I travel since we got Frontpoint.

    The installation of my Frontpoint system wasn't difficult. I did it, myself. However, the volume turns up and down by itself. I noticed that when I would set the volume on it, I won't know where it'd get very loud. So there were little issues and defects in the functionality of the volume, but other than that, I didn't notice anything. I wasn't aware though that I was locked into a three-year program. When I called and tried to decrease it, they said I wasn't allowed to do that.

    I found Frontpoint online, and as I compared products, it seemed that it was the one for the needs that we had. The installation was no problem. It was very easy. It took under an hour overall just to position the sensors and figure out how to initiate the system. So far, my experience has been good. The ease of use is the most remarkable bit about it. We've only had one false alarm, and they were very responsive. Their support has been good.

    We have a two-family unit. Our home is in a building that is two apartments; my mother-in-law lives in one and we live in the other. When I set the system up, I put it up to cover both units, but there's a door between the two which is open frequently. So we haven't been able to really use the system fully. We only use it when everybody is gone. And frequently my mother is home when we're not. When we're gone away, we feel more secure in leaving our home. When we go on vacation, we implement it and it has given us some peace of mind. It has given me confidence that our property is more protected than it was before.

    The main thing that we were looking for in a security service was something we could install ourselves and the security box that Frontpoint has is supposed to be effective even if it's smashed so that was a main factor for us as well. The device was very simple and easy to install and I set it up by myself. It only took me about 15 to 20 minutes. We have had a lot of their sensors that have fallen off or don't always trigger accurately so we had a little trouble with that over the past year. We only called a few times and their reps have always been very responsive, helpful and solved our issues right away.

    We do everything with our system from our phone and it's very convenient. We travel a lot so it's really nice. My mom will check on our plants or our trash sometimes and I can arm and disarm the system from another state or from wherever. We feel more secure since we got Frontpoint especially if we're not home. We don't always arm it during the day if we leave for short amounts of time but the overnight and the longer times away from home, it's been nice to have that ability to know that things are taken care of and secure.

    I had ADT before but we switched because they required that we have a landline with the system. At one point, our landline had been cut off and ADT wasn’t monitoring our home during that time. When we moved to a new house, we did a little research and a lot of our neighbors have the Frontpoint sign in front of their houses. Additionally, Frontpoint can work through your cellphone and you can install it yourself. That seemed a lot easier. During the installation, we couldn’t get the sensors to work because we have an oddly-shaped door. Their customer service line was really good. We called the number they gave us and the rep was happy to help us figure out a way to get the sensor to work. We haven’t had any problems with it and have been using the system for about a year.

    I've had Monitronics before, and I told them I moved and their system has hardwired so I couldn't take it with me, but they are still charging me up to this day. They are still giving me a bad time about it, so I wouldn't recommend them to anyone. And then I signed up when I moved here in July for XFINITY Homes Security, and it didn't work so I got rid of them before the time was up. So, I looked around and on internet ratings, and at that time, Frontpoint had the #1 rating. My grandson installed it. It took about 15 minutes and he had the whole house done. It was really easy and simple.

    So far, they haven't hassled me. The person I talked to was super nice. He doesn't call and bug me. And every once in a while, they see how I'm doing, and I haven't had any problems. With XFINITY, even though they installed the home security, they didn't give me a sign. I feel very safe with Frontpoint's sign out there and they let me pick my own windows which a lot of the times they tell you which ones to do. So I have three points of entry and feel real protected.

    Frontpoint is a different system altogether. My older system was a strictly wired environment, while Frontpoint has got other features to it and works wirelessly. So, in general, I like it better than what I had. The mobile thing is good too, if I ever pick myself up and want to move, I could take the system with me. Furthermore, the customer service has been very good thus far. We had a couple of problems with one of the display units that acted as another entrance and exit point to the garage. It was working fine initially, but then it became inoperable and wasn't communicating properly. So, we replaced it recently and it's been working perfectly.

    The system is fairly easy to install. Some of the adhesives were working, but a couple of times, I found some of the devices, especially the glass breakage, fell down and had to be replaced because it broke as it fell and hit the ground. If there was an alternative to have it screwed in some time more permanently to avoid that from happening. But the fact that it's a mobile thing is good too. If I ever wanna move, I could take the system with me.

    Installing Frontpoint's system was fine, however, the basic kit that I bought didn't contain enough units to cover the entire ground floor, so I had to buy more of them. The price that they charged for every additional unit was extremely high and I was stuck with that. And a couple of times, I had to deal with their reps, like when the system failed one time at two o'clock in the morning. There was nothing evidently wrong and it was never clear why the system had a fault, but it could have been somebody trying to get into the house. I was out of town that time and the police came but they didn't find anything. And when I got on and looked at it, I could never figure it out as there were no windows opened.

    I've been using Frontpoint for about a year and I use their mobile app to activate and to deactivate the system, which is a fine feature. We live in a very safe neighborhood but I turn on the system when I go out of town for a day or two. On the whole, I like Frontpoint and I'd recommend it, but I'd mention about the basic kit not containing enough units and the additional price of buying more.

    The team at Frontpoint is very pleasant. They get help to me very timely and pretty short wait. Having their mobile app is very important. I use it daily and can't live without it. I feel safer to have Frontpoint's protection and we haven't had any incident yet. I used to have two homes with two systems but about three months ago I sold one of my homes. I still had remaining terms in my fine contract with Frontpoint but they were able to transfer the remaining term to my second home which is nice. That was a very positive experience. Frontpoint has provided truly exceptional customer service.

    Frontpoint has been awesome. I installed it myself and it was seamless and didn't take long. Also, it's much easier to set the system from our smartphones and not worry about it being on instead of the house being unarmed while we’re out. If I forget to set it, I don’t have to run back to the house. It gives us a sense of relief. There were times we made a mistake and set it off and I found out that it has a fast response time, and Frontpoint quickly checks whether they need to call the police or not. Also, their team has been top notch. I’m thinking about adding one of the features to our system and they gave me all the information I needed and answered all of my questions.

    I've been very happy with Frontpoint so far. They had good reviews and I liked that I could install it myself which was as easy as advertised. The rates were very good as well. I went through Angie's List and they had a really good deal for them. I feel better and more secure since I've had it. Everyday, I use the disarm feature on the phone. And while I was on vacation, I was able to arm and disarm the system and it's been great and convenient. However, once or twice, I've had some equipment issues which has been surprising because I've only had them for a year. The sensor doesn't seem to be working at times but maybe that's an isolated incident. I've called them and it took a little bit longer than I expected, and then it just started working again. That's been a little bit painful but I would say they're good still, overall.

    We've been using Frontpoint for 14 months now. I was researching online before for home security systems and found them. I spoke to several different services and determined that Frontpoint was the one I wanted to go with. However, installation was terrible. I spent over a month working with a manager to try and resolve all the issues that I experienced in getting this thing set up. It must have been more than 50 emails and telephone calls trying to work out all the problems that I was having with the system.

    After a couple of calls, I reached a manager that I was referred to. He was a true professional, knowledgeable and patient and a wonderful person to work with. Obviously, it was a little disconcerting when it takes more than a month to finally replace at least half a dozen pieces of the equipment. Ultimately, two pieces of the equipment were never going to work.

    In today's society nobody wants to accept responsibility for problems but I never experienced that with Frontpoint. They were apologetic, professional and calm. When pieces of equipment had to be replaced, there was no shipping cost to me. They reacted to the problems and generally wanted to address my issues and I was impressed by that. That's a rare thing. I've been in business myself for 31 years and they provided extraordinary customer service. There was a point that I was going to return the system and go a different route but because the way they reacted to this and the steps they took to resolve the issue, I stuck it out.

    My wife was able to use their interactive features with her phone to check and arm things and she loves it. She loves the fact that she can be sitting 150 miles away and check if the alarm is on. Any security system adds an element of security so I'm happy. So far, I've been impressed with the professionalism of their customer service. They should be very proud of the customer service they deliver. However, the one thing that ultimately may make me consider something else is the fact that they do not have a remote monitor screen. My monitor has to be downstairs right inside the garage door. I need to have a monitor in my bedroom upstairs because we cannot hear the alarm upstairs. We had an incident where the police showed up banging on the door. The alarm had been going off for 30 minutes and I had no idea it was going off.

    We solved that problem with some add-ons that they suggested but what I need to be able to do is to see which alarm is going off. And because we're old, we can't get in the garage and upstairs to disarm the system before the police are called. I've mentioned this last year when I spoke to them and I've never known a security system where we couldn't have a monitor in two different locations in a home.

    I was told that they were looking into that over a year ago. I spoke to a customer service representative recently and there's no indication that they're doing that at all. So when an alarm goes off, I may hear it but I haven't a clue where that person is in the house or how they've entered the house. That's a huge frustration and may be the reason why I'd get rid of my Frontpoint system and get some other service because it's ridiculous. This is not the industry norm and I cannot believe that they cannot or are not actively pursuing the addition of remote monitors for multiple locations in the home.

Although during the installation, one of the things on the door kept on pulling off because the door and the door jamb were not flushed. There was about one inch gap and it was difficult to get going. It took us three tries. Also, the fire alarm went off today by accident but everything else is good. The customer service was fine, too. I like the system a lot, but it's very expensive. And at that price point, it's costing about $500 a year and I feel maybe it should cost $200 a year.

    I went looking for Frontpoint because I had a house in Ohio and we were moving out of state and we were gonna put it up for sale. I decided to go with them because they looked like the best deal. I said to Frontpoint that I didn’t want to be committed necessarily because I may sell this house. They said they'd work with me and they'd be able to take care of it. When they were selling me the deal, they were very friendly. They were good when it came to getting everything straightened around because there were some issues between my fiancé and I as far as everybody talking to different people. My fiancé installed the system without a problem. There was a realtor in the house a couple of times to show the house and I was never notified, so they evidently didn’t have any problems with it.

    I sold the house a year after and Frontpoint said I was responsible for the three-year contract. When I called to cancel it or to see if they would honor what they said, all of a sudden they were abrupt and not very nice. They didn’t care about what they said on the phone as to working with us and because it wasn’t written in the contract, there was nothing I could do about it. So I have a disabled security system that is not in the house because I sold the house. Obviously if it’s not written in concrete nobody’s gonna honor them. So I’m not happy with them. I had them for about nine months and I'm still paying for it because they can’t cancel it. It’s gonna be $900 to cancel the contract, but I’d rather spend $39 a month until it gets down to the point where I can afford to cancel the contract. I thought I did the research on the company enough but I didn’t run into this kind of an issue or I would have never contracted for the three years.

    I've been pleased with Frontpoint and we've been using them for a year. A friend told me about them and I decided to go with them because we wanted video. We considered SimpliSafe but video surveillance capabilities weren't part of their offering. Frontpoint installation was very simple and took about 20 minutes. We had a few hiccups later in the game but they were resolved. We had one sensor that failed to communicate with the control panel. At first, they thought it had to do with interference - maybe something sitting in front of the control panel or the location of the control panel and they sent us new door sensors a couple of times. On the third time, they decided to send us a more powerful door sensor and that did the trick.

    I love being able to access and control the system anytime, anywhere because we don't live in Washington, D.C. but that's where we're at now and we are able to monitor and look at our video camera. We have people staying over the weekend and we disarmed it while they were there, disarmed them arriving and armed it when they left and it was great. This is the first time now that we've had a security system that's actually monitored by a couple and we feel good because we live in a calm, quiet area, although not remote. We had a false alarm and the police responded right away so we feel secure.

    Frontpoint has been our home security service provider since right around last year. I thought the salesperson was quite pushy but then anybody else in between has been fine until we had a faulty sensor not too long ago. The little sensor just ruined about 45 minutes of a family get-together and it will be a story that everybody talks about for the rest of my family's history. A Frontpoint representative was trying to explain that there are only three ways the sensor would be going off right then. However the damn thing was blaring right by me and I would be on fire right then if there was a fire since I was holding the sensor in my hand. Eventually the alarm was turned off but only after talking with 3 different people and 45 minutes of an ear-piercing shrill while my whole family was here, which was not cool. They should be able to shut it off within 5 minutes.

    Frontpoint called when the alarm went off. I told them that there was no fire so they pushed me over to customer service to help figure out how to turn it off. The alarm continued to go off so they continued to get signals, and while I was talking to customer service, I was getting more phone calls from dispatch. It was ridiculous why I had to go through so many hoops to convince them that there was no fire. I'm sure its for liability purposes and they want to be assured. It was really not a cool process and I'm not interested in their services, ever.

    Frontpoint was simple to install although I had some problems with the equipment because I had some out buildings that the signal wasn’t strong enough to reach the panel, so I had to call and get stronger door and window sensors. But other than that, everything else was okay. I've used Frontpoint since last November after my son told me that he had a Frontpoint system put into his shop and liked it. Their price was good and I liked the way the equipment worked.

    Every time I called their team, I got satisfaction. I’ve got the interactive features on my cell phone and I really like it because I can disarm the system as I’m coming down my driveway. I feel a lot better having the system. But I would like to have an external horn, so that when I’m gone my neighbors can hear it. The only people who can hear one that’s in the panel are those standing in the room or the dogs. I had it where the dogs slept for a while and when it went off it was high pitched and it bugged them. Still, I’m satisfied with the way Frontpoint works and I'd recommend it to my friends.

    I reached out to Frontpoint and since the interaction was good, I continued getting the service. We didn't have much trouble installing the device except for one issue so we called back and they sent additional information or additional sensors required. We've had one false alarm and they called immediately. The mobile app was easy to use. It's very important to me that I'm able to use my phone to arm or disarm the system and that was one of the reasons I've picked them. It's really easy working with them from the beginning and never had an issue since. When I had an issue, it's been good so far. We feel safer and we always get that thing whenever a door opens so it really makes the difference.

    I've had Frontpoint for at least one year. I had a different provider before that and I prefer Frontpoint more. It's easier to use and to set up. I was able to set it up myself and didn't have to have somebody come in. But I did have to make a call because I missed one of the instructions. It was a very small piece, but they helped me set the entire thing up. Customer service has been extremely helpful and very nice.

    I've always liked having a security system as it makes me feel much better and if we're away for a vacation, somebody would be alerted if somebody broke in. We had thought of having a system that was hard-wired because it might be easier to disable, but then the wires may get clipped. We have used ADT before, which is hard-wired, at another location but we can't move the system with us. We wanted a system that we could take with us if we wanted to move and Frontpoint is wireless, so we could do that.

    With Frontpoint, I had to do the setup on my own while ADT did all the work then during installation which was easier. But Frontpoint has the installation process well-programmed. They sent instruction, talked to me on the phone and walked me through it though we didn't understand it when we first got it. When I put in the little pieces on the doors, I had to put the big piece on the door and a small piece on the jamb. However, I couldn't put it where we normally would because the piece was too big for the space where we want to put the jamb. We had to put them on four doors up which was in a very visible spot in order to fit. So, we had to paint them to match our doors and so they would look less noticeable. Also, we had to go to the police department to set the system up with them. There was a bit more work than we thought there would be and we're seniors and not as savvy as younger people are.

    With Frontpoint's wireless system, it is active even when the alarm is not "set". So, we could be doing nothing with the door and all of a sudden it chirps. We got used to it happening once a day or every other day but at least we knew it's working. Then the control box quit working so they sent us a new one. We went through the rigmarole to set the new one up as wireless systems are complicated, but since having it, the chirping had stopped, which was nice because I was tired of it.

    We also figured out that as Frontpoint was wireless, this also had some effect on the smoke alarms, which went off for no reason. That's because there is power coming to the Frontpoint system all the time unlike with ADT where I don't even know the alarm system is there unless I set it. But the smoke alarm issue hasn't happened for at least ten months now so I feel that's fixed as well. We're doing fine with the system now and everybody in the Frontpoint team has been polite and helpful. I'd recommend Frontpoint and would tell people that it's a good system though I would also mention that they need to do the work themselves.

    Frontpoint's initial cost was low but the monthly service is a little bit more than I was expecting. Also with that amount, I would expect the technology and the hardware to be a little bit more. But there’s definitely more sense of security that’s why we bought their alarm system. However, there was a point where we had a bunch of false alarms and I still think one of my motion detectors is faulty. Yet, everybody at Frontpoint kept telling me that it was fine. I still think there’s a problem with the master control panel. It hasn’t went off lately and the monitor keeps restarting by itself but it stays armed. I don’t think Frontpoint's overall hardware is the greatest technology. When it was going off frequently, I felt that there was no response from Frontpoint. We haven’t used the security system much this summer, but we’re starting to activate it more frequently.

    Installing the Frontpoint security device wasn’t bad at all but I wish there had been a little more support as far as clarity on how to actually get things set up. It wasn’t that hard but just a little bit of reading. We use the interactive features quite frequently, which is nice and convenient especially when I forget. Now we've had the system for about a year and we’re actually unhappy because two of our sensors don’t seem to work and it’s been an ongoing struggle. Half of the time, I don't know if the system is working. In addition, the sensors on the door have fallen off about four times and have had to be replaced in less than a year. The quality of the door sensors is really frustrating and it’s not like we slam our doors. When I shut the door, the sensor breaks and falls off the wall and then our dog tries to eat it and that’s caused a constant concern as well.

    UPDATED ON 10/10/2016: I have been a Frontpoint Security customer for approximately a year now and have had nothing but hassles and doubt when it comes to my home security system - and now I know it has been for good reason. I gave the company a "3 star" rating because I had the hardest time keeping the door sensors attached - my dogs tried to eat them 2 of the three times they fell from the door frame, once successfully. You can only imagine the vet bill on that incident.

    I also have had issues with the large motion sensors that are installed in the living room. Ever since we received and installed them, we have tested them and have not had any luck getting them to work. Between the quality issues on the door sensors and motion sensors, we pretty much gave up on our security system and joked that we hope the robbers come in through the back or front door because those were the only active working sensors. After a recent follow-up call from their customer service team, I now rate this company a "1 star" rating because "0 stars" wasn't an option.

    After my review was posted to the Consumer Affairs site, I received a call from a Frontpoint customer service representative named Nick. He was responding specifically to my comment regarding the failed motion sensors. Apparently after they are delivered and received you have to call and activate them. We were told by the customer care representative handling our initial request for new sensors that they were activated and ready to go and already added into our existing system - which was not the case. We received an email notification that our new equipment was shipped on March 16, 2016. We installed it right away and did not think to call customer service because as I mentioned, we were told everything was activated and ready to go upon installation.

    Today I learned from Nick, the customer service rep that followed up on my review, that we had to call and activate the replacement sensors. We received them in March 2016... 8 months ago. We have been paying for equipment for the past 8 months that wasn't even turned on, and nobody in the Frontpoint office thought to call and check-in or follow-up on the delivery or installation of our equipment after seeing that it was not even turned ON for 8 months. Mr. Nick told me that thy don't do that, they only call customers for activated alarms... and apparently also less than mediocre reviews. We did not even get into the discussion regarding the falling door sensors, which 1 of 3 still doesn't work.

    At that point, I was livid. I already work two jobs and am also planning and paying for a wedding. It's absurd that I have paid for a service I haven't even received over the past 8 months... and when I asked how much it would be to get out of my remaining contract - approximately $800. Absolutely absurd. Frontpoint - I urge you to take better care of your customers rather than take their money up front and allow them to fend for themselves, or at least get on the same page in regards to the instructions and information you are providing during your customer service calls. We would have been happy to call and activate our sensors had we known we were supposed to do so. Consumers - I urge you to look elsewhere for reliable home security and consistent customer service. I've had nothing but trouble with this company.

    I had ADT prior to Frontpoint and their services are comparable. They're essentially the same thing and perform the same service but the difference is with the level of customer service. Frontpoint is more proactive and is overall a better experience than ADT. Also, installation was incredibly easy, but since I design and manage very large security systems for air force assets, I'm probably not the typical consumer. I've set rules in the interactive features and home automation like command off and automatically come on if I disarm after a certain time so I've gotten deep into the features that are available. I've had the system for about nine months now and I have and would definitely recommend them.

    My insurance agent said I had to have a security system and so far with Frontpoint, nobody breaks into my office.

When it came in, they walked me through the package. The company let me set the system up myself which took 10 minutes. It was neat, easy and cheap installation. They charged it to my credit card and everything is wonderful. My insurance company is happy.

    The Frontpoint people were very professional and if I had a problem they straightened it right out. They've sent me a couple of emails about changing my password and I took care of that.

    I previously had signed up with a plan with another provider and then started to get a lot of negative feedback from their reviews, so I canceled that almost automatically. Frontpoint was able to work with me on a short notice. I knew their sales department seems to be in Virginia and that was pretty important to me because I’m not getting somewhere like that in the middle of nowhere.

    I had a few setup complications specifically that were listed in their initial setup. It was noted that if I have a steel door, the sensors may not work because they’re essentially a magnet and they’re just going off of an electromagnetic sensor and then the little steel sensors are essentially a little small bar magnet, so it magnetizes itself to the door and then it disrupts the connection. So they sent me a larger one and I was able to attach that. But as far as attaching it, the foam tape they sent took it, stuck it, and after about three weeks it fell off, hit the floor and broke. So they sent me some stronger tape and that solved the problem but I developed a fix around it, so it’s all good. It works out the way I got it fixed.

    The fellow that originally helped me with the contract constantly followed up with me and still periodically contacts me. The only thing that I would happen to see as a complaint is the endless need to contact them once we got the system, but that eventually fell off the face of the Earth once I got everything setup. Periodically, I just get an email from them and I had one call from them because one of the sensors farther back in the area went off. Luckily it was that one so I knew it was probably a false alarm. It turned out that the sticky tape gave out and fell off again. So they called me promptly and asked me if I wanted to call the police. They identified which sensor it was and I said, “No. That’s fine. We don’t need to have a false or anything like that.” So I went ahead and checked it and sure enough, there it was lying on the floor, so I fixed that problem as well.

    I don’t get any kind of transmissions for cell phones from where I work. It’s below ground and it’s lead-lined walls so unless they specifically call me on a specific number at a specific time, I’m not going to get any kind of signal. Worse is that it is useless using an app on my phone because it’s just not going anywhere. But I actually feel better that I have it considering a neighbor right next door shot and killed burglar within a space of three months after getting it installed. Technical service was good. They were able to ping all my sensors and get everything setup. Overall, they were very good.

While at ADT, it went around $140 a piece for the same type of equipment. I had a hard time installing my Frontpoint device, though. I had problems setting the name. I couldn't do it myself online. So I made a phone call and they fixed it for me. They didn't hassle me with a bunch of other stuff or tried to sell me anything. They answered what I needed and kept it quick. One thing I didn't like about is if I accidentally left an outdoor shed door open and when I arm the system using my phone, it doesn't tell me that I left it open. It just arms it anyway and discontinues that one place where it's open. I don't like that. Having said all that, I still have recommended them to several people and gave them the numbers.

My son installed it for me and he knew exactly what to do because of his system. I absolutely love it and in fact, I even got my grandson in Wisconsin on it. He’s happy with his service as far as I know since he told me it's really good, simple to install, and works properly, and that he really feels confident that he's secure now. Frontpoint also said I was gonna get a free month for referring him and I'm excited, but I haven’t seen it yet. When I first got the system, the fellow who told me about and gave all the details was very helpful and good. I was very happy with him. In fact, it was because of him that I ended up getting the system. He’s an asset to the company.

    Years ago in Florida we had ADT and it drove me crazy. They came into my house, wired all my windows, put the box top, and had metal and other bugs of all kind. Then any time something would go by, it would go off and I've had the police at my house. Finally my husband said that we cannot have them anymore and it's not working so we got rid of them. We never went to anything until when he passed away and I needed something because I'm really by myself and I don’t want to take any chances. Now I have Frontpoint in both my houses in Michigan and Florida and I’m very pleased with the service. I recommend it to people that talk to me about alarms and tell them I have the best.

    One time, I had left a door opened by mistake in my house in Florida and the police came at 2 o’clock in the morning and I felt like I was gonna die. The police told me not to be alarmed since it was the alarm service that went off. I said that I didn’t know that because I had my phone in the living room on the charger which is a distance from my bedroom so I never heard the alarm. They were there like jack rabbits, so fast and it was unbelievable. But I've not had any problems in Michigan.

    I’m doing good and very pleased with Frontpoint. Although, I need to check with somebody if the motion detector automatically puts on when I go away and put my security system on. I think it does because when I go to sleep at night and put the alarm on for the windows and doors, I don’t put the motion since my alarm goes off when I get up to go to the bathroom. It sounds funny but the motion detectors work well and are really good. Putting the alarm on makes me feel really secure. I'm one happy customer that's why I've already recommended them.

    I've tried different home security providers but I didn't really care for them. I'm partial to Frontpoint. Their website is really easy to manage. There is no comparison to the three companies that I have had. Before Frontpoint, I couldn't get on the web, I couldn't manage any of it, couldn't set any parameters myself. I had to go see a customer service person. I mainly use the system when I'm out of town. When the system was installed, it was awkward drawing big holes in the new walls and doors but it was okay. The Frontpoint team worked really well with me. We moved from one house to another and we were able to transfer everything over. They made sure everything was functioning properly and then the other people that bought my other house continued on with Frontpoint.

However, the alarm and the sensors are not as loud as what I had before so I'm worried that I'm not going to be able to hear it as well in the middle of the night. But Frontpoint's sensors are more reliable and I feel a little bit more confident now than I was with my old carrier. I also love the interactive features of the system.

    We have Frontpoint for the whole building and we've used it for about 18 months. Frontpoint is liked better because we’re able to do it digitally and remotely instead of having to be there in the shop. It’s fantastic. We live about 40 minutes from the shop and it’s easy for us to remotely look things over from the comfort of our home instead of having to run down in case there was a problem. We get notifications too.

    Frontpoint is a little too sensitive to some things, though. Our front window is completely glass. When light comes in the right way, it’ll trigger the alarm and have a false reading. However, it's great that we can look at it and not worry about coming in and know that it was triggered by light. We ended up turning off some of the notifications. There was one point we all kept getting messages every couple of minutes in the middle of the night. Because my husband and I both have the app as well as our lead technician who is also the one that opens the shop every morning, we were checking on each other and asking if anyone saw something.

    I went with Frontpoint based on their “smash and crash” protection that was described to me and that was different from other providers. The reps have all been pleasant. When I was getting the system set up, I put a call to the service department to help me figure out an issue and the rep was very nice. He helped me solve my problem. The couple of times I talked with the representatives they responded to an alarm from the security system and they were very nice. The interactive features of the system is an area for improvement, though. When I leave the house, I bypass one of the sensors. I leave the dog in so he doesn’t set off the motion detector. I can only bypass the sensors from the home panel but it would be a nice feature if I could do that from my phone.

    I've been using Frontpoint for about a year and it's nice to be able to know who is coming in and out and when they’re doing it. I live in an apartment complex and I don’t have the only key to my front door. It’s nice to be able to verify that I’m the only one coming in and out of it based off of the timeline that Frontpoint provides when doors are opened or closed, or when sensors are activated or deactivated.

    I like the convenience of Frontpoint and their app. It's in a property that we're not at a lot, so I can turn it on and off and I can monitor the alerts and everything else relatively easily. The experience with Frontpoint has been pretty good. I've also had the ADT system in another property for a little over 10 years. But I like the convenience of Frontpoint because of the technology which is now Bluetooth. And I can move the sensors anywhere I want, as opposed to everything having to be screwed in by ADT and still having to have a landline in the house in order to connect their monitoring station. So, Frontpoint is a lot more convenient.

    I got one of their window breaking monitors on a counter, one of the motion detectors by the front door, also on four other doors. Everything was installed in less than an hour. But working with Frontpoint on the phone to activate and test everything took longer than installing all the hardware. Other than when I had to set it up, the only other interaction I had was when I had trouble with accessing the site through my smartphone application because the site was down. Unfortunately, it's a third-party site and not theirs, but it was taken care of relatively easy. The website was just down for a couple of hours, and they took care of it via the phone. Then it was back up within six to eight hours. It was just a temporary outage.

    I do everything from my computer or my smartphone, and it's easy. In fact, I don't even know how to arm and disarm the Frontpoint security system from the panel in the house because I've never used it. I just do it from my phone. I was in Indiana last week and my son used the house. He said he was leaving, and asked if I could set it after he leaves. Then I did it from Indiana. It's easy. I shut off the alerts when we were there because I didn't want all of them going off. We just turn the alerts back on when we're away. Now I would like to have a more integrated system with the garage door, being able to close and secure the front door as well. I would like more extension on the types of capabilities I can do remotely.

The only time the motion detectors detect motion is if it's right in front of it. But if a person is far, they can go right past without it ever going off. I called and told them it was a waste of time. I'm stuck under contract and they know it, so they're not going to do anything. I pay $45 a month for nothing, and I feel like I'm just being robbed.

    We were moving and had the chance to look at different home security systems. I did some research on the top providers and Frontpoint was one of them. I wanted something that had mobile capabilities that I could check on from my phone, was reasonably priced and was something that was cellular, so it fits into all of those categories. The ADT system that we had was a lot more expensive than the system we have in our current home with Frontpoint. It's a pretty minimalistic system that only monitors the doors and then there's one motion detector where in the previous location we had all the windows and doors and a couple of motion detectors. Installing their devices was really easy. It's just sticking them on the doors and mounting the motion detector in the corner of our room.

    Upfront their team was very interested and pursued the sale. After the sale was made, the followup was not quite as robust. They ship the unit and be like "If you have any problems, let us know." There's been a couple of issues with us not being able to log into either our system or their website and they get around to addressing it, but they're not super responsive. But in contrast with ADT where we had a very robust system, if there was an issue we could call them and they would respond immediately.

    I haven’t had any alarms to know how the response rate is. I just had it for a year and pay for it every month. We've never had any kind of any alarm trip to know that if it did happen they would call us. With ADT if we trip the alarm, they would call right away. We do arm and disarm from the application. I travel for my job but I can still check the status of the system when I'm away, make sure my wife had set the alarm at night, all the doors are closed, and that there's no motion, and I'm very pleased with that. We're a satisfied customer.

    Installing the Frontpoint security device has been simple yet frustrating. Their reps told me to read the box, do this and do that. I'm not technically challenged so I did it at first. But the cameras were a pain in the neck. I don't rely on them too much because they're very erratic. Sometimes they work and recognize the system, but sometimes they don't. It's either a connection problem or a hardware issue because it's a plug and play device - just hook it up and it finds a signal. I'll look up and they're not on so I go on to a device to view one of the cameras and it doesn't show anything. And then a day later, it's on again without doing anything to it. I just gave up on it. But my wife's more worried about it than I am. She likes it since she uses it and feels safe when I'm gone. But overall, there's satisfaction knowing that if the door opens, we'll know, and if somebody breaks in, there's the alarm. With that, I'd recommend it.

    The installation of the Frontpoint device took about 45 minutes and it was pretty basic. I just peeled and taped it where I needed it to be put. Their team was really nice and helpful. They didn't try to sell me anything I didn't need, which I really liked. I called and told them I wanted to update my panel and I had no problem. Anytime a door or a window is open, I'll get a notification. It's nice to be able to arm it when I'm not home and turn the lights on and off. It lets me know who's home, who's not home and if someone's in my house that shouldn't be. I feel more secure now that I have a security system. They're a good company with a user-friendly product.

    With Frontpoint, we don't have false alarms and any concerns. Also, we've had very satisfactory responses with any questions we've had or alterations we've had to do. We recently added another sensor and we had no problems. I called and told them what I was interested in, and in five minutes we identified what was needed. I got the price, bought it online, took 15 minutes to install and it's working fine. Being wireless is one of the deciding factors for us switching from ADT. Also, accessing the system through our phone gives us more peace of mind. It's a good value. We recommended it to a friend and I went to him and helped him install the device. It's installation by the book for dummies and it worked out well. He's very pleased. I will continue recommending them.

    I live by myself and so security was among my number one concerns when I moved into my house. Being by myself was a little bit scary, so I wanted a security system that was going to be reliable for me. I googled for the most reliable and best security system, and chose Frontpoint over ADT because of that. I've used Frontpoint for a year. I called to set up and the rep was super-nice and explained everything. I got emails just like he said. It was super-easy. Right away, I got the package to set up everything. I only had one issue and I called, got right through, and they helped me with the problem that I had, so I was very happy with that. Nothing bad sticks out with installing the security device, so that was a good experience. It was really self-explanatory doing it. It was nice that it wasn't like rocket science.

    I tried disarming the security system from my phone and arming it when I had driven out of the driveway. I forgot to arm it and set it from my phone. I have also disarmed once from my computer. This interactive feature is very simple and easy, and user-friendly. I like it. Obviously, I can't do the Motion One anymore, even though I signed up for that, because now I have a big dog. He'll pretty much set off the alarm and that would be bad. The Frontpoint security system has been wonderful. I feel good knowing that I can arm it before I go to bed or before I go to work, and know that the animals inside will be safe and my belongings inside will be fine.

    I like Frontpoint a lot. I had the Vito before. They came by once before and their prices were so expensive. Frontpoint offers a lot better price for what you get. Their reps are pretty good too - friendly, professional and quick. They ask questions about my experience and my qualifications as far as being mechanical. That way they could help me because they have different options. I can get different equipment that is more intensified with the installation but I could also stick with the real easy stuff. If you're half way mechanically inclined, you can install the system yourself so it's really easy. I went with the door sensor that you do not see which was set inside the door, so it's a little bit more pleasing to me aesthetically. I've got the capability of installing that but some other people might need to go with the outside if they need a simple installation.

    I have used other security systems at other people's houses and I have not had my own before. Compared to those systems, Frontpoint's system is user-friendly and easy to program. I also like that it was a cellular system and it uses its own battery instead of direct power so the price was fire. I didn't get the package that I really wanted because it was a little bit more than what I wanted to spend, so I downgraded a little bit but I'm getting pretty good service from the package I got. With the smart home functions, I can control my air conditioning while I'm not at the house or turn it on an hour before I come home. I don't have to leave it on all the time or if I leave for the weekend and I forget to turn it off, I can turn it off. Sometimes I leave and forget if I had set the alarm or not. If somebody is coming over to my house, I can disable the alarm using the smartphone for them. I wish I also had cameras outside the front yard.

    Having Frontpoint makes me feel a lot more secure knowing that if somebody brakes into my house, that the alarm will go off and I'm going to be called. The situation could be addressed right away and not just come home to find the house vandalized. When I got a bunch of different things in the house, I know it doesn't take very long to take things out of the house because I used to work with the Police Department, so time is an issue. But if signals break into a house and there's no alarm, they can take their time and clear it out. They can be meticulous and go through everything. When there's an alarm, they will either get scared, run right away, or are they will just grab whatever they can see instantly within feet and then run.

    On the other hand, I wish the buttons were a little faster. If I had to sit, hit a key and then wait before hitting the next key, it would drag me a little nuts. I can't key in my number really quickly and I have to push it in a little slower otherwise, it doesn't register your touch on the screen. I have to take my time.

    Updated review: Sept. 21, 2016

    Front Point contacted me and refunded me a credit of $299.00 which is the amount to cover the balance they had placed with a collections company.

    I would have been more impressed with a refund closer to the $1,500 they charged me over the years for equipment and services I never activated.

    However, I feel it is necessary to add to my review that Front Point did refund me a small portion of that amount to an attempt to rectify this situation.

    I wish the first 2 FrontPoint representatives I spoke to about this matter just days before I wrote my negative review, had been this accommodating. Front Point could have avoided a negative review altogether. Unfortunately, it took a published negative review online for Front Point to attempt to reconcile.

    Original Review: Sept. 14, 2016

    Frontpoint charged me $49.99 a month during a course of 3 years equaling over $1,500 for a monitoring service I never used. In 2013 I purchased monitoring technology for approx $2,000 from Frontpoint. Due to working 2 jobs to care for a very ill mother I never activated the technology here at my home. To this day, it's still in the box. I just received a collections notice from Frontpoint stating them I owe them $149.00. I looked back on my bank statements and $49.99 had been taken out of my bank account since 2013 for a monitoring service I have never set up, or used. I have many auto-pay withdraws in my bank account which made life so much easier between my mother's affairs (who just passed away recently) and my own. I am finally now, after her passing, able to have time to look over all of my accounts more in detail.

    I called and spoke to a supervisor at Frontpoint today who explained to me there was a one year contract I had agreed to beginning in 2013 which entitled Frontpoint to charge me the monthly $49.99 even though I had not activated their monitoring service or even hooked up the cameras, and the $2,000 worth of technology I purchased from them. He continued explaining to me the following year of 2014 that I had spoken to Frontpoint and they agreed to credit me $149.00 towards activation when I choose to do so.

    Well, I never did activate the monitoring services however the course of the last 3 years Frontpoint (knowing I still had not connected the monitoring service) continued to withdraw $49.99 from my bank account and continued to do until recently equaling over $1,500.00 of my hard-earned money: 2013 Nov. and Dec. at $49.00/mth - $99.00, 2014 Jan. through Dec. at $49.99/mth - $599.88, 2015 Jan and Feb. $49.99/mth - $99.00, 2016 Mar. through May at $49.99/mth - $749.85 = $1,547.73 TOTAL.

    In conclusion, Frontpoint justifies charging me for almost 3 years for a monitoring service that seems to cost me $49.99 a month for doing what exactly? My equipment was never hooked up to it. They are also not willing to credit me the $149.00 they promised back in 2014 because they stated my account is in collections (affecting my credit score presently!).

    Frontpoint is also not willing to refund a dime of the over $1,500.00 of monitoring services I never used, or even offer me the option at this juncture a refund by accepting a return of any of the $2,000 in equipment that was never opened. I can see by the positive ratings online that Frontpoint offers excellent monitoring services. I wouldn't know because I never used the monitoring services for the almost 3 years I was charged for these same exact services. Sound like fair business to anyone out there?

    I inquired online and Frontpoint has the best reviews. The installation was different because everyone else that I know have had someone come in and do it for them. Even though it wasn't too difficult to do, it wasn't as easy as I thought it was gonna be. The sensors weren't working initially, but their team walked me through it and they were really good. It's my first security system and prior to that, I lived in an apartment. I tried to live upstairs 'cause that helped me with my sense of security, but when I lived downstairs, I always had that fear. My neighborhood is pretty good, but I still would have felt some sense of a security issue. Having Frontpoint gives me peace of mind. Anyone that doesn't have a security system should have one.

    We moved to our house where there was ADT already installed but it wasn't active. I had done a bit of research on the internet, read various reviews and found that Frontpoint has one of the best equipment and they're great. We've been using them for nearly one year. I contacted them twice for various reasons and they were very helpful. They answered all my questions and helped me to install additional sensors. Everyone in the family is using the Frontpoint on the phone and from day one we felt really secure. Even when we travel out we can check the halls, see the status and know what's happening. Also when I'm at work I know if the kids come home on time. So we started going out more and feeling more comfortable. Overall we are very happy with the experience

    I've been using Frontpoint for a year now. Their reps have been great so far and installation was easy. I use their interactive feature often and it's convenient. I've never really had an issue that required to have a security system but I got it because of the area that I'm in to prevent from having that issue ever occur. However, when the alarm goes off, they don't ever call even if it rings 30 seconds. I find that they don't follow through with that process and if someone actually did break into the house, we don't know what they'd do. I understand that it can be tedious to call every time it goes off for 30 seconds but they should, at least, call in or send an email that says they have noticed our alarm went off and that it was disarmed at 30 seconds, and ask us if everything's okay. At least I know that they are still monitoring and it's not a computer that is watching me.

    My home was broken into and that’s what prompted me to get a security system and I went with Frontpoint. I’m a research-oriented person and ADT was rated number one at the time. But when I did my research, I found that Frontpoint was going to give me more for less money and they were more toward what I wanted in a home security system. Installing it wasn't the easiest. I did it yourself and it was a little tricky. I wasn’t successful on the first go round with putting the devices on my doors and I was little frustrated with that. When I called them, though, they walked me through it. I wish I would’ve called in to do it in the first place, as opposed to watching a few YouTube videos. I looked at their install video but it didn’t look like the same things that I got in my box. But the gentleman from Frontpoint talked me through it on the phone and it went really well. They were super helpful.

    Frontpoint has exceptional customer service. Everybody that I ever spoke with was super friendly and really enthusiastic. I have not once had a negative customer service experience with the company. In today’s customer service market, that is really a huge plus. They were there 24/7 whenever I called for any kind of tech support or help. At one point when I decided to upgrade my system and get a couple of cameras, one of the cameras didn’t work. The reps were very apologetic and they sent a new one to me immediately. I shipped the old one back at their cost. As far as that kind of stuff goes, they’re an amazing company to work with and I would recommend them to anybody. It’s been a little more than a year now that I've had their system.

    I have their app on my phone too. I have a teenage son at home. When I’m at work in the afternoon, I open up my app and I check on him. I also get a daily reminder sent to me at home or when I’m out, to make sure that I have armed my system by a certain time every day. I’m really interactive with the system. I appreciate the control and access to the system. It’s fantastic and it gives me even more security. At any time that a person has a situation like a break-in, it takes time to recover and feel safe. But almost immediately after installing the system, I had the assurance that if anyone did break in, there would be more evidence to give to the police.

    Now, there’s certainly a totally different feeling. The police would be notified if anything happens when I leave the house. The possibility of someone breaking into my house and taking all my stuff right now is not on my mind anymore. Frontpoint is economical and they are trustworthy. They are the best bargain for the best security on the market today. I am really surprised that they are not the number one rated security company. At some point, they will be.

    I went to Las Vegas, and my wife didn't feel comfortable with me gone, so we got Frontpoint. Our security device came in the mail, and we installed it. We made a few phone calls to Frontpoint, which is typical for somebody who has never had a system like that. In the beginning, we were shocked that we can install our Frontpoint device ourselves. The people at Frontpoint were always friendly. They've been great. When our door frames got mashed up, they sent us some extra tape and other stuff, which was good.

    When we moved over to the new house, they didn't even transfer our security device. We unplugged the system and we thought that with unplugging a system and moving it to another house, they should have called us. It was strange for them not to notify us when there was a change in the system. It seems like a very simple way for a burglar to avoid a home alarm going off is just by unplugging it. If there's an alteration to a home security system, it is like something maybe going on, so I would recommend that they make a phone call with any alterations to the system. Ever since then, we haven't even turned it on. We pay the monthly fee because it's under contract, but we lost confidence in the system. I didn't want the home security system in the first place. It did the job while I was in Vegas, but now it's just a box that sits in our home.

    Frontpoint is more on top of ADT. When I call them, they're accommodating on figuring out over the phone if there's a problem or not while with ADT, they'll send someone out. Frontpoint is a bit more customer-service friendly. Installation was simple and easy. I was done in about 15 minutes. Some of the sensors were falling off at the doors and windows because they use a sticky tape to attach them. I called in and the solution was to send me out some new sticky tape and it works.

    I use the applications to arm and disarm the device, and I look at the recording when doors and windows were opened and closed. I check the house from my phone remotely. It's one of the reasons I selected Frontpoint. That and those mobile features hurt other competitors. I just recently installed the doorbell solution and I'm fine with it. I feel like my house is more secure. For the price that I pay for the monitoring service, it's competitive if not better than some of the other solutions.

The way it's set up is easier, we get feedback on our phones, and we can do a lot more on our phones with it, so it's a better product than what we had before. And also, the system is not wired toward a house where people can access or cut the wires from outside. That's very good. I love that I can access and control the system at anytime and anywhere. It gives me information right away. If any of the doors opened, it goes off right away versus counting down to 30 seconds.

I called them one time because I wanted a temperature sensor and a smoke detector but that was supposed to be part of the package and I never did get it originally, so they sent us one. Their reps were extremely friendly, very professional and quick. It's a very professional company to deal with. I'm also considering their video, but I haven’t decided yet which way to go because I have it in my other home in Florida and I'm away for months. Nonetheless, I activate and deactivate the system and monitor it when I'm in Florida by my smartphone. I could see when I had electrical failure for a couple of hours one time that was recorded. It's a great system.

    Since its installation, I got a big reduction in my homeowner’s insurance. It was almost enough to pay the monthly monitoring fee. State Farm wanted an affidavit, they got it and gave me a big reduction. I like that I can set the alarm and the whole house is protected. However, I'd like to see a little lower monitoring price. I pay $45 a month, but they give me a good service, so I guess I get what I pay for. And along with the monitoring, they're right on the ball. Overall, they're extremely helpful.

    This is a brand new home for us and needed a cellular service for it. Prior to buying the Frontpoint system, I called and asked about the system and they were very courteous and very helpful all the way along the line. Installing the device is tremendously easy. I called them to activate the service and they were knowledgeable and friendly. They went through each unit and sensing them at a time to make sure it was working. We have had a couple of false alarms so I switched from one type of door sensing unit to another and it's worked great since then. Controlling the system through the app is a very good feature, and it's comforting to know that the system works well. It's been 14 months since we've had it and I'm very secure with the community system.

    I've been using Frontpoint for a year, and I'm overall pleased. I continue to have good experience with them. The representatives were easy to work with. I got all my questions answered and I got my system quickly. It was all self-install and I figured it out relatively easy, and when I called to activate it, they walked me through everything to make sure it is working properly. I use their the interactive features, and in fact, I use the mobile alerts more than anything when doors open and close and I'm not home.

    I moved into the house, and Frontpoint is the one I went with. I did some research on the internet, and from what everybody had been saying, the reliability and the ease of use was much better than the others. The installation seemed to be easily handled. What I had a problem with was one of the receivers was sticking out about an inch from the door, and the two sensor bars for the door didn't make very good contact. They sent more padding to help with this problem, and it worked for about a month. From time to time, I'll still get it, but they told me the reason why. My router for the house interferes with the wireless system, and it doesn't get a clear contact with the receiver and the door itself, so it shows a malfunction. They told me that I needed to pick up the receiver, walk it close to the door away from my router so it would find contact to that door and show no malfunction.

    I access the system through my phone 90% of the time. It's much easier because sometimes the console itself will freeze, so putting in the passcode will get down to 10 seconds left, and I'm hurrying to put the last two digits in. I have had a couple of times where I forgot that to turn the system off and I had open doors. Fire alarms went off in my kitchen because I had no exhaust fan for my stove, and Frontpoint was very quick about calling me to say, "Hey, there's a fire alarm that has gone off at the house." They're very good about that. Since the installation, I know that nobody's going to be breaking in, at least through the points that I've got connected without me being notified. It is definitely a sense of security.

    I've been using Frontpoint for about a year now. I've had to call them a few times really early in the morning and nobody was available. But when I got to talk with them on the phone, they're very friendly and wholesome. I've used their phone app but there's an extra fee so I canceled it. With Frontpoint, my sense of security seems better, and I like its fire alarm part.

    Frontpoint's team was polite and did a good job. Installation went very well until I got to the camera. There has to be a WiFi system, which I don't have. I got to be hooked up for a year or so, so the camera did me no good at all. The monthly fee is also a little high, but the system does a good job and keeps people out. I'm satisfied with it.

    When I got the Frontpoint system, it came with directions on how to install it but I had to call in and ask the Frontpoint team to help me because I couldn't figure it out where everything needed to go. They were very polite and helpful and the whole installation process went fine. As for the system, I use the app on my phone and it's very convenient, but the overall system doesn't work well as they said it does. There was one time the alarm went off by the motion sensor so I rushed home. It turned out that one of my cats had triggered it, in which Frontpoint told me that my cats were too small to trigger it. So that was very upsetting. That's why I sent the motion sensor back and they sent me the glass breaking sensors. I had a little bit of trouble with that too because each person I talked to told me a different spot on which wall to put those on but it went fine after.

    I still set it when I would leave but I would still worry from then on that things wouldn't work properly after that incident. I'm not using the system anymore because I moved out of my apartment and stayed in with a family member, who has a security system. So, I'm paying for the Frontpoint system and not using it and I'm not happy that I have been locked into such a long contract.

    I was looking for a home security system and found Frontpoint through my company. A great thing about Frontpoint's system is that it’s internet-based. Setting it up wasn’t difficult at all and the only problem I have sometimes is if my Wi-Fi goes down, then my system doesn’t work. We've had Frontpoint for a little more than a year now and whenever there have been a couple of erroneous calls where we triggered the alarm, we received their call promptly, so I'm happy with the system. I also use the interactive features and I always arm and disarm the system through my phone. I like it and it's good and more convenient.

    I really liked the fact that there was a mobile that would allow me to access both my front door locks. The home automation and being able to access the alarm remotely was important. Frontpoint's technology was a little bit more reliable than some of the other companies that presented to me. Their monthly service fee was very competitive as well. The installation was easy, except the mechanics of drilling holes and some of the doors that I had didn't allow for the door frame monitors. I had to drill into the door frame itself, but that was relatively problem-free. Their customer service is very helpful. Early on when I was trying to make the decision, they were willing to work with tailoring certain offers to me to get the monthly cost down. The upfront cost of the equipment itself was pretty much on par with everyone else that I talked to.

    The only hiccup was after installation, I was told that I could order a second base unit that ended up not being compatible with the equipment that I had. My children don't have cellphones yet, so what I wanted was another base unit for them to turn on and off the alarm from upstairs because I frequently set the motion detectors on at night and they can't come downstairs until those are off. That's a little bit of a limitation in the technology.

    Another drawback would be that Frontpoint doesn't wanna have to install it themselves. I had a contractor come and do it for me. Even if Frontpoint doesn't do it themselves, if they had a local service representative that they could put their clients in contact with for the installation, that would motivate people to use them. Overall it's been really great. I feel really secure with the motion detectors involved and the ease of use. If I felt like the utility of the mobile application was deteriorating, I would switch.

    There was convenience of setup with Frontpoint, and my interactions with their team have all been nice. My sense of security has increased since installation. The interactive features are completely dependent on wireless signal for the most part, but it's good. However, their equipment is less than excellent. They need to work on their hardware. There's a lot of improvements they can make for it to be more sleek, nicely used, and faster. The software is slow and buggy too. I've had sensors replaced because they just stopped working. I've had my panel replaced twice. It's an ancient kind of touchscreen that isn't smooth and fast like an iPad, and is more like a car touchscreen.

Also, they do a great job getting you the system but once you have it, they don't follow up with emails. They could do better in reaching out to customers after the system is installed.

    I'm very dissatisfied with Frontpoint. The cameras don't work like they're supposed to and I'm wasting my money with them. If someone comes through the door, the alarm will go off but the cameras don't work continuously like I need them. They only come on for a couple of seconds. Frontpoint said that they will do up to two minutes of recording and then wait 30 seconds and then two more minutes. But I only get five seconds of recording and then I don't get anything for another hour. Their staff misrepresented because I don't have the 24-hour continuous coverage that I need. My store has been broken into three times and it's not on camera, and I've had two entries and my alarm never even went off. I called their customer service and their only suggestion was if I spend more money, they can upgrade my equipment, then it will be better. But I'm not spending any more money to do that. I'm done, but I can't get out of my two-year contract.

    We had ADT before, and Frontpoint had the advantage because we could update the system on our own and it does not require a landline. We installed the sensors on our own which I did last year and was relatively easy. Each of the door and window sensors takes about 10 minutes. The smoke detector wasn’t terribly difficult, probably about the same as any other standard non-central alarm type smoke detector. However, I am slow and I tire easily so since there was no rush, it took me a couple of days to install. Then one of the sensors turned out to be bad and we had to return it, and Frontpoint shipped us a replacement very expeditiously. In terms of installation of the helpline, customer service was very helpful.

    We had a couple of alarms during the past year and the people that I first spoke to on the phone didn’t have full access to my account. So when there was an alarm that went off and they said it was sensor number, I asked if they can look up for whom that was and they did not have the ability to do it. They did refer to customer service who took it from there and everything was fine. Ultimately, the information was available but the first contact person who called to make sure everything was okay didn’t have the ability to look up on their screen more information than they're allowed to.
