    I had AT&T but Frontpoint was cheaper and I installed the equipment myself. They didn't have a bunch of wires everywhere. All we had to do was plug the base into the wall and then hook the monitor up. Their customer service was also excellent. Their rep walked me through step-by-step when I had to set up the device. And if the kids tell me they'll be leaving the house and I'm at work, I arm the system from my job. Or if we forget to arm it when we leave, I can arm it wherever we go. I like that a lot. With Frontpoint, I don't have to worry about someone breaking into my house. I would recommend them.

    We bought the Frontpoint system and then we called them and they walked me through everything when we hooked it up ourselves and it was extremely easy. But the fact that Frontpoint had to send us three different control panels before one worked is a disappointment. We're probably at 75% satisfaction at all the times we've had to contact them because we've had to call four times. The dude we had before was great and he walked us through in upgrading whatever it is when something's updated, which is cool.

    One morning when leaving for work and the control panel won't set the alarm, I talked to the Frontpoint person and he told me to just leave it that way until I get home and then call them back, which is very aloof like "What does it matter?" attitude. I would have strangled him if he was in front of me. And then their solution was to give us a free month here and there which is all well and good. But I would have rather been invited in to watch that person fired than get a free month. He's a toolbag and I'm sure he's not there anymore.

    We use our phones with the system and it's great as long as it works. But when it doesn't work it puts me in a bad spot because I paid for the service to protect my work. When I have to leave my home knowing it's not working, it's a weird situation because ultimately their product is what I'm paying for to protect my home when I'm not there. Also, I really wish that when I'm coming home, every time I open a door, it could sense and disarm. I'm now going to hate this annoying lady who's telling me my doors are open. If only we could somehow make it quieter or just say ding-dong. It doesn't help at midnight when I'm rolling in from the bars and my wife says she knows what time I got home.

    I did a research then and Frontpoint had great reviews so we went with them. Their sales reps were great. Sometime last week, one of my friends went to my house and set the alarm off. Normally, I should’ve gotten a call from Frontpoint to see what was going on and be sent a PD unit out to the house to investigate but I don’t think they did that and nothing ever came about it. That’s why I have the security system but it didn’t seem to work that time and my friend ended up putting the code in. Installing their device was easy. I have not tried using their interactive features but would like to go through that with my phone. But I've never set up the app for it yet.

    Installing my Frontpoint device was super straightforward. I mostly got it because I wanted a security system around the house for my wife when I was going to be deployed. Everyone has been super helpful and awesome. A couple of situations came up on my wife when I was gone and she was able to get ahold of people and get everything figured out. The system gave me peace of mind when I was deployed overseas. Now we're heading to Hawaii and I'm taking the device with me over there. I've been very satisfied with the service.

    Initially, I accidentally signed up with Vivint and had them install their system at home but when I read reviews about the company, I found out they were a horrible one so I had them uninstall everything. They left huge holes in my walls which they filled with putty and I was pissed. After my nightmare with them, I started searching online to find a different company and then that's when I came across Frontpoint which had by far the best reviews out of everybody.

    It's super easy installing their device which took me about 15 minutes to do so myself. Their team members have been nice and answered any questions I had. Whenever I get home I use the app to arm or disarm the system from the driveway, which is nice because I don't have to run out of my house as fast as I can. When I changed the password, it was nice that I only had to call their team up. My only suggestion is that compared to what some of the other companies have out there, their main box is old school which works and is fine, but they should definitely have an option of upgrading to the more modern one.

Anytime we did anything wrong, the Frontpoint team was always on top of the problem and was able to resolve it immediately over the phone. We use the interactive feature on the phone all the time. It's critical to have it that way because if I didn't, the system would be really hard to use. We can correct situations whether we're at home or abroad.

    I have Frontpoint for a little over a year. I researched to find out which home security provider would be a good one where I was moving. The Frontpoint guys were helpful for the most part, but the last one who helped me install the security device wasn't very helpful. I'd like there to be more help with the installation process. Their reps told me to use adhesive, but the adhesive isn't very good, so there were times when I had to glue everything down. It wasn't the worst experience, but it could have been easier. But the interactive features are really awesome. Anytime I forget to set my alarm, the system notifies my mom, and she calls me. I feel more secure being that I have the alarm.

    The Frontpoint staff members were very helpful when I installed the security device. My only suggestion would be that the magnets that got put up there for the intrusion could be better marked. The arrows should be made more prominent - maybe have the arrows facing arrows and then we'll know it's installed correctly. That would've saved a ton of time. Also, it's a rough expense every month so I don't want anything additional. But with the system, it's good to know if someone's trying to break in even if we don't use it that much. The app is nice and very convenient to use as well.

    Frontpoint has provided good service but I've had trouble with the motion detectors and sort of regret having purchased them. They've been inconsistent and have resulted in false alarms a couple of times no matter where I put them, but the rest of the devices worked well. Installing the system was easy and I never ran into any issues though it would be nice if they had something visualized for guidance, like pictures of suggested configurations as opposed to just speaking with them. But their customer service has been great and so is their app. It's convenient and really helpful to select it to arm the system if I was working out of the house. It's nice to have the system as I need peace of mind. I'd recommend Frontpoint.

    A friend of mine told me about Frontpoint. He and his son had it. Then there was a break-in at my neighborhood and I thought I should get a security system. So I went and arranged for Frontpoint and it's been over a year since I started with them. I got two sensors in the main front of the house and the door sensors. Installing it was very simple and easy because I'm tech-challenged but I was able to do it all. The guy on the phone was awesome and walked me through it. He was also friendly and didn't yell at me. I've set it off by myself accidentally so I know it works. Fortunately, I haven't had to use it. However, I never got a door sign. I got the thing that sticks to the ground but I never got the sign. I called them about it but I didn't follow up on the procedure I had to do to get it.

    I have two dogs here and it's hard to have people come over and set up any kind of equipment because I got to put them in a crate, try to keep them calm, and take care of them so they'll not destroy my house when people are in here. With Frontpoint, it was pretty self-explanatory to set everything up. The online information is very easy to follow. Even if I don't have to physically pick up the phone and call, I can go online and it tells me enough there to know what to do and figure things out. The system is easy to use. Plus, their interactive features is nice, simple to do, and very convenient.

    Two years ago, we had a big thing and where I live, we had about four homes broken in around me, where intruders were kicking in the backdoor and coming in the house. I have double security - I have dogs and a security system, so most of the time, they're going to leave my house alone, but the intruders still scared me and made me nervous. Thank God, since then there hasn't been much action in terms of that way. Down the road, I'm eventually going to trade out and get the better box inside. I'm very happy with Frontpoint. Plus, the price was right. I could go cheaper, but I'm going to lose the ability to set up easily. I pay for convenience - it's worth the money.

    A friend of mine in the neighborhood has Frontpoint and recommended them. They are also quite well-reviewed online so I got them. I don't know if I'm a pretty handy, technically apt person but I found the installation challenging. The customer service folks are great, positive, helpful and patient. They've always been very pleasant and prompt. I have been particularly pleased and I appreciate that I'm transferred around. However, they aren't most intuitive. I wish that the customer service reps would ask more probing questions when it comes to the way the system can be used particularly the eMpower suite, the lighting stuff and alternate uses for motion sensors.

    I also wish that our main panel doesn't crap out every couple of months for unknown reasons. We've had a couple of components fail on us over the last year and so we've been through the installation process a couple of times. Frontpoint is attentive and very helpful in sending replacements incredibly promptly. We're just hoping that third time is the charm. I am a little concerned that it keeps happening and I wish that it was something specific like hardware durability or compatibility.

    I regularly use the interactive features of the device. It's awesome. I don't use the IQ Panel. I do almost everything from the mobile device and I have used some more settings through the web app. I love it. I don't think I would enjoy using Frontpoint as much as I have if it didn't have the app and if the app wasn't so user-friendly. Since the installation of the security device, I feel a lot better about our home security. I would recommend Frontpoint.

    Somebody tried to break into our house up in Maryland. They did not get in, but while the police were there doing fingerprints outside, I was on the site and looking for the best security system. Frontpoint security system came up as top notch. I ordered everything right there and then. It was very simple to put in. The main box shows us what was being opened at a time. It was excellent.

    Then, when we listed our house to sell, an agent showed up one day without letting us know. They tried to get in and the alarms went off. The security company was calling me at work and sending me text messages and they called the police. I had them shut the alarm off and my husband took care of the police. Everything went as it was supposed to and I was happy with that even though it's embarrassing for the agent and the prospective buyers. At one point, the system wasn’t showing one of the windows. My husband called and the rep said it was a little wiring problem. He walked my husband through the main box and it was working fine after that.

    Being able to turn the system on or off or check it from my phone is wonderful and very convenient. I would turn the alarm on before we leave for our three-mile walk and when we are a block from the house on our way back, I would take my phone out and turn it off. But sometimes it would get glitchy. I work about 10 miles from work and I could turn it off from there but sometimes if there will be a block from my house for some reason it would turn off right away. Other than that, I'm very pleased with Frontpoint and have every intention of keeping it even though we've moved down to Florida. As soon as we get these new windows and sliders installed, the security system will be hooked up and we'll call them and reset everything for down here. We've been very satisfied with them.

    Frontpoint doesn't give all the information about installing the panel prior to ordering it so when it arrived it was a little more complicated than what was expected but I'm pretty decent with tools, so the installation wasn't too bad. The reps were helpful as long as you were using the stuff they sent. A lot of the things they advertised that you can use with the system you have to get aftermarket. And when you start adding aftermarket stuff, that's where the system starts to lose points. But the interactive features are very good. The system works very well.

    Their app is great as well though I'd like a panic button on the app. We only have one panel and if it was in the kitchen for example and I need to use the panic button, I can't really press it from my bedroom. Also, I hope they can add more sensors for windows and doors as there's a limit on how many we can add. And the front door sensor will go offline if something is blocking it or if it's too far away so if they had a longer range for the sensors in the panel, that would be helpful.

    I did extensive research and came across Frontpoint. Installation was simple and straightforward. We had the touchscreen pad, which is great, and we put the security tabs on the doors. We also added one recently to our garage. The app makes it much easier because if I'm sitting in my car and I forgot to turn the alarm on, I can do it on my phone, as opposed to running in the home and doing it. It's been great.

    Their team has been very helpful and easy to talk with. When we were installing it, they had told us to register it with our county or our city to let them know that we have an alarm system. They told us the first one has probably no charge, but after that we have to be cautious. We've been very pleased and relaxed knowing that Frontpoint can call us. It alerts them instead of us having to look at it on our phone. We also got the life alert and use it for the upstairs. If I'm upstairs and home alone, I can use that. The guy set it up too, which was so nice. He set it up to call the police, so when I click it, it alerts the police instead of the ambulance system.

    I had used Protection 1 before for our home security and I like Frontpoint better especially from the standpoint of being able to install it myself and add things to it. Also, it's more involved than the previous. What I had was just a monitoring system that had some hired-wired smoke detectors, but Frontpoint has got everything. I get the locks, cameras and the fire detectors everywhere. It has a lot more features and my kids can do it from their apps so I know when they’re home. I also got it setup so if my wife leaves and forgets to set the alarm, it reminds her. Another one was, I got a call from Frontpoint when I was in Barcelona that there was a fire and my mother-in-law was there. I was able to shut it down so I use the system pretty much full to the hill.

    Their team has been nothing but great when I called to add cameras and locks. Usually when I call them and I add the first one, then I can do it myself afterwards. I’ve also had plenty of false alarms - kids opening stuff in the middle of the night. I did have one false fire alarm because my kid was cooking a grilled cheese. They’ve been very helpful and the police were dispatched properly. I've recommended Frontpoint to quite a few other people.

    I used Becker Security before however, I prefer Frontpoint's flexibility. It took a bit of time to install their system because there were quite a few entry points but it was not difficult at all. I was able to talk to their rep to get a different front door sensor. The distance between the front door and the home base was too great for the sensor that it came with. It was then sent and installed. I also like Frontpoint's ability to set and unset the system when needed and that’s my favorite feature. I always have my phone and I always need to check my everyday settings. So if I’d forgotten to set the alarm or if I left the house and thought I’d be back sooner than later, I set it.

    The installation of our Frontpoint security device was very easy. I didn’t install it properly at first, and one tape was a little loose so they sent another piece. The reps were very friendly and patient in explaining everything. There were a few cases when the alarms went off and they got on the phone very promptly. One time, the smoke alarm went off, and I wasn't able to answer the phone so they had the fire brigade dispatched immediately. We use the app all the time to arm and disarm the system. It’s a great advantage, and very user-friendly and convenient. In fact, it is so easy to manage the system through the app. I was a new homeowner so it was very important to get the security device in place. It’s a good product, although expensive. I’m in a relatively safe area, so $45 per month is a lot and it’s a three-year contract as well. Other than that, I’m very happy with them so far.

    I checked for top-rated systems online and Frontpoint was one of them. So far, I'm satisfied with their service though I had less issues with my previous security system. As soon as I got the Frontpoint device, it didn't work right so they had to send another one. Frontpoint needs to inspect their product a lot more. When putting the sensors on metal window frames, they're not working properly. Their poeple need to research and develop a better sensor. I still have sensors that bypass every time because I've had time to fool with them. Then, my wife said she couldn't put the code number in the touchpad and shut the alarm off. But installing the device was easy and their team takes care of me every time I have an issue. Their app works fine as well though they could add a couple of features, like changing or adding the code from the app. Overall, I worry less since having the system.

    The service that Frontpoint provides is the exact type of service I was looking for, including the self-installation, the network capable cellular but still connected to a central alarm facility. We’ve been using it for about a year now and it’s pretty much done what it’s supposed to do. It’s worked pretty reasonably well. My biggest complaint is the response time for the one time when we needed it. The response time from our local police has been slow. But I don’t think that was due to Frontpoint. I think it’s been fairly easy to use since that happened.

    Also, Alarm.com is still not partnering with IFTTT in a way that makes it really usable in home automation. That would be a simple thing that Alarm.com has got to do or Frontpoint has to find another service provider so that we can connect with IFTTT. There are some workarounds but not good ones to make that work. They need IFTTT integration. Other than that, I’ve recommended Frontpoint to other people.

As I went past that salesperson to the next level, I had a great experience and got a lot of support. We have a home in Florida and we've used other systems there. Then, we decided to put Frontpoint in our house here in Virginia. Both systems allow me to watch my home on my cell phone when we're not there. It's hard to get a security company come in and install something here but Frontpoint is the easiest system to install and it's for someone who lives in a rural area and doesn’t have a local installer.

    I love the fact that I can watch my home when we're not here. The internet-based security system antenna is wonderful and they're able to adjust our thermostat. For the most part, the only problem I've had is not with Frontpoint but the internet service.

I then wanted to change some of the configurations based on opening door and closing sensors. I called their customer service and asked a couple of questions and they answered it. I also tried their interactive features in which they set you up with a higher tiered account when you initially install the system and then you have a certain amount of time to check that out and then you can downgrade. I didn’t think it was worth the money and I downgraded it. Since I've had the system, I'm comfortable with my security. I get what I paid for.

    Frontpoint's generally pretty good. Installing the device was much easier than I anticipated. When I was trying to find out how to disconnect and reconnect it, I talked to customer service about what to do in a false alarm and with trying to hook up those “geosensors” for the lights and they were very helpful. They were also great and I didn’t have to call about where would I put it. I had it in my old house then I moved it to the new house that I’m in where I’m doing electrical work and so I was also able to switch it from one house to the other very easily, just un-stick it then re-stick it and the system picks it up no matter where I set it.

    I’ve added three extra door sensors and then I've also added the light adjusters; it’ll turn the lights on and off. And I haven’t yet been able to connect the system up yet. I’ve also had it disconnected for the past two months because of electrical wiring I've had to do in the house and so I haven’t been able to plug it in anywhere. But up until that point, it’s worked well.

    I also like that I know everything is connected and working with their interactive feature. In the very beginning when I checked on the phone, it said that a door was open before I left the house. I went back and realized that I placed the sensors too far apart so they weren’t connecting, and I had to reconnect them. Once that got settled, it worked really well. Also, when I have gone grocery shopping, I turned on my phone before I left the grocery store and unlocked the doors because I knew my hands would be full coming back to the house. The last thing I needed to do was try and turn off the alarm system when I walked in with my arms filled with grocery. I definitely feel more secure with Frontpoint, it’s reassuring. I've talked to other people and for asking somebody else to use Frontpoint, I've gotten two months of free rental or something. So I find it’s a very effective system.

    Frontpoint is a lot better compared to ADT which I used at our previous house. I like its features a lot better. I like its cellular connection and that it’s wireless. However, the camera is a little bit iffy because sometimes it goes offline. That's my biggest complaint. But since I’ve traded out the camera, it’s gotten better and it’s working most of the time now. I also use its interactive features which I didn’t have with ADT before. I like this new technology. I feel good to arm and disarm remotely. Frontpoint's reps were extremely helpful whenever I needed some guidance on setting the camera or if I had any problems with it. We have less worries now and we always have it on when we’re here at night and while we’re gone.

    The Frontpoint reps were really friendly and helpful in trying to figure out what was best for my house. The installation of their system was really easy for the most part. There’s a couple of the sensors that didn’t go exactly with how our doors are set up but we figured it out. It wasn’t too bad. Their interactive features are very convenient. Frontpoint makes me feel much better now. One time, our tenant downstairs went crazy when we’re on vacation in December. The alarm system saved our life because we weren’t in the city and they were able to get the fire department and the police.

    Aside from that, just being able to go online and see the history of all of the sensors that were activated and at what time was really helpful to us not being able to go to the house. I get a sense of what happened and when it happened which was very helpful. It saves the history for a day or two. However, sometimes our garage door sensor is finicky. It’ll say it is open or it’s closed when it’s not and it happens fairly regularly. But that’s the only one that has sort of failure. They had us re-position it and it helped a lot. But still sometimes in the house, it will say it’s okay but when we go online, it will say it’s open even though it’s closed.

    Installing Frontpoint was easy. However, I had some issues with the control panel at first. But it got resolved and it works now, although there's still difficulty with it where it doesn't keep the right time, and they were never able to diagnose it. But other than that, it's been pretty good. I use the interactive features all the time and it's great and convenient. It's what you would expect nowadays, to be able to do anything from an app and it's reassuring to know that it's there.

    Most of the people there that I've dealt with on the phone have been knowledgeable. But there was one instance in particular where they weren't helpful. They were supposed to get back to me on changing out my control panel, but they never did. I had to follow up on it. I had some difficulty in the beginning, but generally speaking, I'm happy with it. I would definitely recommend them to a friend, especially if they want to do one of those do-it-on-your-own wireless systems.

    I'm very happy with Frontpoint. I tried ADT through an independent provider, and they were terrible. We were unhappy with ADT and looked it up online after having it and canceled it because it also had terrible reviews online. We went online again to find the one with the best reviews and Frontpoint happened to be that. When we were getting the system, a specific salesman gave me all the information and helped me with the ordering. He was on top of it the whole time and it made a difference.

    We live in an area that is not the best, and I feel safer since having our security system. I installed the security device myself, and it was easy. I use the app, and it's good as a backup. I prefer using the key chain overall because it's easier to get to than turning your phone on every single time, but if I were to forget the key, it's good to have that. The only thing that I wasn't happy about is the cost to get the extras that I want. I have to buy all of the features such as the windows, doors, and motion sensors separately, so it gets a little expensive. Other than that, everything has been good so far.

    I've been using Frontpoint for my business for over a year. I had no problems getting the system installed, calling them up and getting everything activated. However, the back door sensor had an issue and the rep said it’s only rated for 75ft as far as the radio communication for the system. So it was showing some errors occasionally. Frontpoint sent me out a new one with the longer range right away and I sent the old one back. It's not been a problem since. They were very quick at getting the solution out to me.

    Then, the motion sensor at the back of the warehouse fell off the wall. The double-sided sticky didn’t hold. I got a notification on my phone right away and got a phone call right after that. However, I found out that the City of Fremont will not send out the police unless you confirm there’s somebody in your facility. So what they would do is call a security company in the area to come out to confirm, but I beat them by an hour and I live 28 miles away. If I was getting robbed, half of the place would have been empty by the time they got here. So, that wasn’t a great thing, but it’s not Frontpoint’s fault.

    As of right now, I’ve had no problems with Frontpoint as a company. The system’s working good. It’s always comforting to look on the app and find out if I did set the alarm before I left instead of driving all the way back to work. It's a good feature to have. I look at it occasionally to see if there’s anything that’s going on and I could see that no sensors have been tripped. It gives me peace of mind. The security system works as described and billing has been consistent.

Their features are useful but occasionally, we're getting text messages that we don’t think we should get especially false ones. We have it set up that if both of our phones are away without the alarm being set that we should get a text message and very occasionally, we’ll get it when just one phone is away and the other is actually at home. Also, we have a three-year contract and seeing all these things on television of $9.99 or $19.99 monitoring, paying Frontpoint $45 a month for monitoring seems excessive.

    I lived in Georgia where I used to have a contract with Protection Concepts. Then I moved down to Florida intending to sell the Georgia house. I installed Frontpoint in the Florida house because it was portable and it had good reviews. It was really easy to install because whoever lived there previously had the same alarm panel as what I was installing. So it was easy to switch out.

    However, I had to call customer service for a tad of help to make sure I was doing it right and the customer service for Frontpoint has been a 10. I called to tell them that I had used up all the adhesive strips because I had a lot of door alarms and glass breaks. They gladly switched out equipment whenever I needed it because I wasn't quite sure what I would need. One time, I was trying to install the alarm panel after painting and mistakenly crossed some wires so it blew out. I called and asked them what to do about it and they said it was fine and sent me a new one soon after. I also love the app because at night, I would go get in bed and remember that I forgot to set the alarm and I would just do it from my app. Then when I wake up in the morning, a lot of times I would disable it before I got out of bed and go about my day.

    Soon after, I left Florida and took the security system with me. Now it's sitting in a closet and I am going to give it to my daughter whenever she moves into her apartment next month. I call it a hibernation status for the Frontpoint system and because of that, they lowered the price to $10 as a maintenance fee for three months and that's something that's appreciated.

    Frontpoint was rated number one among home security system providers on the internet, and they offered the kind of services I was looking for. It was extremely simple, very easy to install the security device, set it up, and get it going. It comes with instructions. I have armed and disarmed the system mostly from my phone and it's very beneficial. On a few occasions I couldn't get a sensor to read correctly, so I called Frontpoint and the reps gave me some instructions on how to fix it.

    However, I have a negative experience with them. I was in a rental home at the time when I bought and set up the system. However, I was forced, through no fault of Frontpoint, to move from that location and temporarily reside at someone else's residence. I asked Frontpoint if they would suspend service until I could get a place of my own again. The best they could do was offer me three months suspension, provided I pay $10 per month during those three months, and then attach the three months on to the end of the contract. In essence saving me nothing and giving me no benefit. I told them I wasn't interested in doing that. If I was forced to continue to pay the contractual amount for the 36 months that it was set up for, I will do that. As soon as those 36 months are up, I would terminate any ongoing use of Frontpoint, whether it was their system and/or monitoring service.

    They did send me a moving box, which is basically a box that has all the smaller boxes for all the pieces and parts to go into, so I was able to store everything in an organized way. That was very helpful and I did appreciate that. But they can clearly see online that I was not arming the system since the day I left because I continuously get text messages every 48 hours telling me that my system hasn't been armed since then. They could have offered a better option for that situation.

    I wasn't asking them to hold my contract for the next 18 months or two years. But I felt like I was put into one of those gym memberships, where to get out of the membership and break your contract, you have to wait so long, and then you've got to email, write letters, and submit documentation. It's crazy and horrible, and that's how I felt I was treated.But overall, I love the service.

There have been a couple of times when the alarm goes off and we don't get a phone call so I’m not sure what the situation is. I’ve been meaning to try it out by putting the alarm on, opening up the doors, and letting the alarms go off then see how long it takes for someone to call. I expect that at least the noise would chase people away when they hear the alarm go off. I really don’t feel safe but unless somebody calls my number or calls the house when the alarm goes off, I’m gonna see what happens.

    I'm using Frontpoint security system in my house. It's more affordable than other companies and I like the different stuff that it came with for the price. Installing the security device took about 15 minutes and it was easy. I use the app on my phone all the time and I like it. It’s good. Also, I like that it exactly tells you the minute that a door opens or closes, when the alarm is set. One time, someone broke in and my door wasn’t locked but the security system was on and the people at Frontpoint called me within a minute, so I was able to get home and it was good.

    I had another home security service before and I prefer Frontpoint since the touchpad is a little more updated. Other than that, it's pretty comparable although the customer service has been good. The system was mostly already installed using the equipment from my prior provider so we had to make one or two minor changes and then program the keypad myself which was easy. I had an issue with one of the door contacts, so they sent me a replacement after we tested it and couldn’t get it to work. I also had an issue with the control panel, touchpad and a phone call but we were able to get that fixed. I like that the system is easy to use and very handy. It can be armed and disarmed, checked remotely and it's been a reliable system. I'm confident that we have good protection.

There have been a few issues with the main interface screen and their team has been very good about replacing that when their over-the-phone support wasn’t successful. The second unit also had issues. But, we are still using that as it’s working and one of the software updates has improved that over time.

    I ordered this system yesterday, so at the moment I can't comment on ease of installation or features/value. I had a decent experience with the salesperson. He gave me a price I was comfortable with so I made the order. I made it clear I wanted overnight shipping, as I've already had an attempted break-in at the property I'm trying to secure and I need the system in place ASAP. Had this expedited shipping not been available I would not have placed an order. The salesperson assured me that I could contact him directly if there were issues or I had questions. I sent an email to him this morning asking for tracking information, but almost four hours later I have had no response. A follow-up phone call went to voicemail.

    Even more annoying, I just received an automated email with this same salesperson's signature on it trying to sell me again. I don't believe it's an unusual or unreasonable request to ask for tracking information on an expedited shipment. I've heard such great things about Frontpoint that I'm a bit disappointed and I'm also concerned that another night is going to go by without a security system in place.

    I requested a quote online, because I read good reviews, and my wife and I are thinking about a home security system. Be warned, be prepared for spam calling until you answer, and even that might not stop them. They called me at: 8:02 AM (didn't answer because I didn't know the number). 8:17 AM (didn't answer). 8:33 AM (answered, said I was interested but asked if I could call back at my convenience). 9:07 AM (didn't answer). 9:37 AM (didn't answer). 10:38 AM (didn't answer). 11:38 AM (answered, told them, "I said I'd call back, this is the 7th call in 3 hours, I will not be doing business with your company" and then I hung up and blocked the number). Unbelievable, even car dealerships don't spam call you this much when you request a quote. I will never use this company based solely on their over aggressive calling strategy.

    Frontpoint installed our security system. I just had to buy the panel but I had to buy a few new sensors to replace previous ones that didn’t activate and it was very easy to set. The system is working very well and it doesn’t have too many issues. I have it on my phone, so I sometimes find it easier to do it outside and on the way (I walk a mile from setting it and it works fine). If I have somebody that I let in to work the house and I don’t want anything to code to, I can set up when they call me and tell me they left.

    When we had ADT in our previous home, we could pay for in-home service. It would be nice if Frontpoint also had that option because I have 11-foot ceilings in my living room and I'm 64, so it's a nuisance to have to climb up and change batteries and check the device, or if I get a new sensor I want installed, etc. It made things easier. But, Frontpoint's team was as helpful as they can be. They guided me through changing the battery for a specific smoke alarm that they provide. I'd rather have somebody come out to the house than me being on a ladder, but they stayed on the phone and talked me through it.

    The previous owner of the business was using Frontpoint before I took over and had told me really good feedback about it, so I wanted to try it instead of looking around for something else. So, far I've had a great experience. The communication with the company has been great. A couple of small incidents had happened, like low battery, but they took care of it for us. The only challenge with customer service is that if something happens after hours on the weekends, which I've had before. I was not sure what to do then so I called them, but their phone lines were down as well. Besides that, though, I've had peace of mind since having the system. Also, I'm really happy about the app that I use online. It's fantastic and the best. If anything happens, my employees are set up.

    Whenever my alarm goes off, I get a phone call from Frontpoint, which is great. I also like the price point of their system for what it does. But my complaint is that they don't have a package deal where I could buy a whole bunch of their devices at once for a loan. I have a lot of windows so if I wanted to buy the sound door chime, it would be $60 per window. They need to provide some type of payment plans for people to be able to pay for their devices.

    When I looked up Frontpoint on ConsumerAffairs, my assumption was that they were ahead of the pack. I like the company, but for me to renew my service with them when my contract is up, they need to start integrating more smart devices into their system. They don't have auto-locking doors where I can lock the doors from anywhere, unlike AT&T that's got that. When I go to Frontpoint's website, they don’t say what devices work well with their system, too. Frontpoint is still in front, but is on the verge of falling behind massively unless they start integrating more smart devices into their system.

Installation was very easy and we didn’t actually have to pay for the installation, which we were really happy about. I’ve had a few interactions with their team about some billing and technical questions, and every single person I’ve spoken to has had the best customer service I have ever experienced. I’m a manager at a technical support call center and I was just blown away by the customer service I received. I had an issue with our motion detector and I called them and they’ll fit me out a new one. It took us a little while to send the defective one back and I was past the deadline that they would bill me. They didn’t bill actually me for it. I was really appreciative of that.

    The only feedback that I could give is it would be great if Frontpoint could offer something besides the automatic bill payment. They could require people to make the payment on their own even if the people are in good standing as far as the automatic bill payment goes ‘cause there are some months where I would like a few extra days to pay the bill.

We’ve had a number of issues with our system and their equipment is junk, plain and simple. The equipment is not very flexible, very rigid, and unreliable. It’s difficult to continue using the service with their hardware.

    Despite how crappy some of the hardware is, their customer service is second to none. Other than a couple of instances, the Frontpoint team has been very courteous and usually willing to help. It's one thing that kept me from dumping them. I talk to a lot of companies and I actually can’t remember a company that’s got customer service as good as theirs.

    I've had Frontpoint for over a year. The thing I don't like about it is that there are no technicians to help me out. I have a problem right now that two of my doors don't buzz when I open it. I called this morning and I explained to the guy. He told me what to check. I told him "I am four and a half feet tall and I'm 79 years old. That calls for me to get on an eight-foot ladder which I do not like to do. I do have children but you know what it's like to ask children to do something for you." Frontpoint really doesn't have any service. I had used ADT before and with them, I call them and the technician comes out. With Frontpoint, I have to do everything by telephone and it's hard to hold the telephone in one ear and get my hands moving with the other.

    Also, installation was a little difficult. We had to get the things to glue on the right direction and we didn't know really how to check if it was right or wrong until we tried the doors. I feel good that I have a security system, but the fact that some of the doors don't work is the only thing.

    Frontpoint could do better with regards to the installation of their sensors. With the sensors that we're supposed to be able to install, they give this little bit of adhesive that’s just barely enough. If everything works out okay, I'm good. But if not, I have to run out and get some more, which is absurd. They should give extra, but they don’t. I felt more secure with ADT than I did with them as the adhesive that ADT uses is a little bit more solid. What Frontpoint gives is the double sided tape used to hang pictures of on the wall. I know that anybody can break in if they want to but this thing is really not as sturdy.

    Frontpoint is comparable to ADT in that there have been a couple of situations where the alarm didn't work. This happened with ADT also where I wasn’t getting electric through and they didn’t tell me anything. That's why I didn't renew with ADT. The alarm is just something that looks good in the window. $40 a month is quite a bit for not actually being monitored. I didn't get a call and nobody emailed to say there was a disconnect.

    Our house gets a lot of traffic so we got a security system and Frontpoint was extremely easy to install. Everything is pointed out step-by-step. They also have a great service center if anything comes up and I have to call and talk to someone. The Frontpoint guys were friendly, and answered every question that I had. I even had personal emails for the people that I was dealing with during the purchasing who were always quick to answer. We're very happy with that.

    Also, using the smartphone app is mainly the way we arm and disarm our security system. It's been great. We've got the geo tracking deal as well where if we get two miles away from the house and forget to arm the system, we get notifications that we didn't and we can arm then. It helps us as we're forgetful. There's a lot of new stuff they're now offering and I found out they offer beta testing so, hopefully, we get the opportunity to test some of their new gadgets. But we highly recommend them to everybody we talk to.

    Frontpoint is one of the better companies out there. Guardian had previously monitored my house here but they're very expensive to put up. SimpliSafe is so basic. With Frontpoint, I can take the system from my Maryland location and install it down in another house we're buying. I can just call Frontpoint and say that I'm deactivating the alarm, install it again, and call them up and say that it's my new location. The system is wireless with double adhesive scotch tape. They can be mounted on doors and windows and are very easy to take off with W40 or Goof Off and a screwdriver to peel them off.

    My wife did the install because it's so darn easy. We only have two doors, two windows and a motion sensor. She was able to put it up without any problem in 30 minutes. I absolutely love Alarm.com which they use and it's awesome. I found out that the app was what the CIA was using for their monitoring service so I thought that it was a no-brainer. The alarm system is great because it uses little lithium batteries that last for up to five years. Moreover, they have a thing called smash and grab. If some people see the console and decide they're going to break it, the alarm goes off and still alerts the police so I'm notified and nobody can just take it.

    I feel comfortable and much better since I installed our Frontpoint security device. We have a detached garage, and I don’t go out there every day, but now, I know if somebody opens the door. My son also has the system and I relied on him for the installation, which was really simple. When we called to install the system, the Frontpoint reps were very amenable and helpful.

    I prefer to use my smartphone to arm and disarm our system. It feels nice. It also allows me to check and see if there’s a door that is open. In fact, it's how I discovered I had a problem with the bathroom window. I checked the system and it said that the bathroom window was open, but it's closed. The sticky glue had pulled loose away from the magnet. The repair I did was simple, I just had to get some double sticky side tape. I’ve fixed it, and I’m quite happy with it now.

    I have Frontpoint for almost a year now and I am happy with it. I had Brink's before but I prefer the setup didn't need to be hardwired in. Installation was pretty easy. A lot of it is just a peel and stick kind of installation. Their customer service has been really good. Calls are answered quickly. People seemed to be pretty knowledgeable, and I've had a couple of sensors replaced quickly. I use my smartphone almost exclusively to arm the system. It's one of the features that I like the most. Oddly enough, usually I get in bed and then arm it from bed. The other feature I use a lot is the home automation piece of it. So one of the things that I've done is if the alarm goes off, it kind of turns on all the lights in the house and outside, and I like that as well.

    There is one concern that I do have with the system. It seems to me that there's often a sensor down. I'll often get an alert that one window is not responding, or that one of my sensors is not working or it has to be bypassed. I had one that kept going out and they sent me a replacement, a long range sensor. Seemed to do the job, but every once in awhile, it'll say that sensors not working for no particular reason and then it'll start working again for no particular reason. But all in all, Frontpoint is a simple security made easy.

Installation was fairly easy, but I had difficulties with the motion sensors. Plus,I don't really like that when I turn the device on, it beeps a lot - it's a series of 36 beeps. It carries on for 24 of those, and then it starts a triple beep sequence that goes on for 12 of those. All that beeping is really irritating when I arm my system. Nevertheless, controlling my system is a huge plus for me, and that's one of my favorite features. With Frontpoint, I feel much safer. It's been great.

    I've used Frontpoint for about a year. Compared to Time Warner Cable they have ten times better customer service and quality product. The installation process was really simple, quick and easy. There were a couple of different times where I got some bad pieces that I had to send back but it was very easy to send it back and get new ones out. Everything has worked perfectly. For the most part, I only use the panel when I get home. I do everything through my phone and have zero issues. The customer service has been awesome. I called them a few times for some questions that I had and they’ve always been very friendly and nice.

    If only Frontpoint didn’t have a contract that was so long and if their prices went down just a little bit more then that would be good. I’m locked in with my contract and I can’t renegotiate without removing the interactive part of it in order to get the price to go down at all when some of their competitors are coming out with very similar products and a lot less price tag on it. Theirs are still kind of sitting the same so when the contract comes up I’m going to look at them from a pricing perspective.
