Using Frontpoint's home security service provides an additional sense of security and safety. I have had it since December of 2014. It's not difficult to install but it did require a phone call to customer service.

I’m very happy with Frontpoint. I get to use it when we leave home to go on vacations a couple of times a year. It was very easy to understand the whole process. It was very straightforward. I called a couple of times and their people were very nice and I had a good level of comfort dealing with them.

I had Vivint for a very short amount of time, but it was a rental house so it wasn’t my contract. At the rental house, I didn’t have the capability to arm and disarm the house from my phone. But now with Frontpoint, I can do that. It was like having different levels of service, and Frontpoint is cheaper than the other service provider was and you get more for the cheaper. I decided to go with Frontpoint because I could access and control my system at a much cheaper rate than the other companies. It's $23 less so it's a lot. Installation was very easy and it didn’t take very long so I’m very satisfied with it.
We're sorry to hear about your negative experience with your previous security provider, but we're thrilled to see you now have system you enjoy and can rely on!

The Frontpoint customer service was fantastic. I spoke to several of the security system folks and I felt that Frontpoint had better customer service program. Installing the device was very simple, very intuitive instructions and it was easy to do. I also tried their mobile app and that's the only way we arm and disarm our home system other than when we get up and when we went in to leave. When we initially installed it, I had one sensor that didn't get initialized properly and a couple of false alarms. I spoke with a young man who was able to identify what the issue was and got it fixed quickly and we've had no issues since. It was a great experience.
We're glad to hear that you were able to get your system up and running in no time and that one of our Support Specialists was able to help you with that sensor and make sure that everything was working properly!

Prior to using Frontpoint, we had another home security provider and compared to them, Frontpoint is cheaper and it's effective. Frontpoint was touted as being either number one or close to being number one in home protection, that's why I decided to use it over other security service providers. Installing the device was simple. I would strongly recommend them but would advise people to do due diligence on their cost compared to other security systems.

Initially a friend of mine gave me a name of the company and I typed it in as Frontpoint in Google and it came up and I got calling around and I noticed online the ratings for them were really well. Frontpoint does everything they said it was going to do. During the set up, one of the end points was not synchronized so I called in for service and they helped me. I have jobs that put me in a little bit of a travel mode so I have to go away every once in a while. Frontpoint's mobile app allows me to remotely look at it, and make sure I remember to turn it on. I'm cautious when I'm leaving and so far I don't have issues.

They're always there to answer the call and to help me. The individual that sold me the product helped me think through where and how to set it up. And then when I called Frontpoint to replace the sticky from the back of the monitors I got them within a couple of days. I think the outstanding service is what really would keep me going with them. I sound like I’m paid, don’t I, the spokesperson? Well, they were pretty darn good. I had a wired security system before I got Frontpoint and comparing the service between the two, it's night and day. Frontpoint is really great. Installing the device myself did make me nervous as we’d never done one where we had to set it up before, but it was a lot easier than I thought it was going to be.

It took 6 hours to install the device. I had 45 sensors to install and I couldn't get somebody to come out and do it. I'll pay for somebody to come do it, and they were like “We don't have people who do that.” which I thought was a little odd. But still I recommended it to my neighbor. She went to do it and she had the same experience so she ended up going with ADT instead because they wouldn't do the installation. So I think they are losing business on that front.
Michael, we understand that getting the right system for your specific needs takes time and a lot of consideration. If your home needs over 39 sensors, you might want to look elsewhere as that is the largest amount of sensors we can support in one home. We wish you the best of luck with your security needs going forward and we appreciate your recommendation to your neighbor.

It's been 4 years now that Frontpoint has been our home security provider. We chose them primarily because of the reviews people had of them. Their system was very easy to install. I use the mobile app everyday as it is absolutely essential for me to access and control the system on the go. I actually had several false alarms and I think the technical support finally did resolve that. They lowered the sensitivity on one of the motion sensors.
However, I've had some situations where Frontpoint called me to report that the alarm was off but they did not clearly identify themselves as Frontpoint. I didn't speak about it to them but I found that funny - they always follow-up after an event. The password issue has also burned me at least once. I confuse my actual password and the one for the web app and they ended up notifying the police. I was told you only got one shot with the password then they'll call the police. Despite these, I would still recommend Frontpoint.
That mobile app is very useful isn't it? We also understand the "password" and "pass-code" confusion, so if you ever need to reference which is which let us know and we can email you those details so if you need to you can look them up on a later date!

Frontpoint has been our home security provider for a little over two years. We received the equipment and my husband was able to install it all. No problem - it was very easy and user-friendly.

It took me about 30 minutes to install the system. There was no problem at all. I had one unit that had some problems when I got it.

Frontpoint is wonderful. I have zero complaints. Every time we had to move we bought new equipment and stuff.

The only thing that comes to mind is that they want me to sign a new contract but I'm really busy and I haven't gotten through it yet. But when the guy called me, he said "You'll get $150 and new sensors for signing another contract" but then I didn't see that on the contract that he sent.

We've been fairly happy with Frontpoint but it has been a little bit disappointing that all the little add-ons for each device cost so much money. It's a shame that we can't just pay a little bit extra as opposed to like a $30 to $40 charge to have a device hooked up to a lamp. Also, I would suggest or could hope for Frontpoint's alarm system to just seamlessly integrate with Nest. But right now, we're not going to go buy a different brand now that we already have the Nest and it seems to be compatible with way more devices anyway.

It was pretty simple and I could install it myself. I thought the installation was going to take a whole day but it only took about an hour tops. I have the app on my phone and I like it especially if we're on vacation. I can kind of keep an eye on things. Every year I just kind of get new stuff with it and you can keep adding a little bit. Last year we added and installed the flood sensor and the CO2. Then maybe next year I'll go to the video and go up to the next level.
The toughest thing with having Frontpoint is training yourself to shut the alarm off when you can't get home. This just happened to us, we were doing some construction and I shut the system off but I forgot about the fire alarm and the CO2 while they were doing drywall work and it sent the alarm off. Frontpoint might want to make a note about this that there should probably be a warning (or maybe I missed it) that the fire alarm will go off because of the dust if they are doing some renovation in a house that got the system. My construction workers couldn't get it to shut off and then the fire department came out and scared them some more. But that's just something I did overlook. I should have taken the batteries out but I didn't. But other than that, it works and I have recommended it to a lot of people.

I came across Frontpoint from doing an internet search and I came to the conclusion that it was probably the best choice after reading about its capabilities and what the experience had been for others. I have used it since the late fall of 2012. Our old one was fine but I needed something that was of a different service configuration, more internet and smartphone-based. I use it all the time on my Blackberry and that is a big time thing. It allows me to arm and disarm my system remotely before I get back to the house. It's a much cleaner system and I don't have to do as much monitoring. I'll get an email to my cellphone and desktop telling me if something does happen.
Their staff was very helpful during the initial setup. They helped me decide what configuration I needed here that would work well, what cameras I needed, what kind of alarms and motion detectors. Periodically we run into some small issues that we had to work out but they have always been very good in trying to work that through. The only issue we probably haven't quite gotten resolved is looking at the live video on desktop. Generally it's been pretty good. For people who need a fairly comprehensive setup with cameras, motion detector, door and window alarms, remote access, and video, Frontpoint has always been a very good system. I would recommend them.

Frontpoint is superior and less expensive than our previous provider.

It's a little harder but once you're logged in, it's simple. We have a cabin that's two hours away and it allows me to control the alarm for other people coming to the house. Before that, I could not do it so Frontpoint helped out a lot. There was a time I called them because one of the sensors malfunctioned and they took care of it and taught me what to do.

I did some research on the Internet looking for a cost-effective way for me to put in a home security system on a second home that I'm usually at and Frontpoint was one of those that came up. I chose to go with them because of the reviews I read on the Internet, the helpfulness of the people I spoke to, and their package price which I felt was the best. It was pretty easy to install the device. I just mounted all the devices and called up tech support, and everything's been fine since. It was the most painless setup that anyone could imagine. It went very, very easily, just like it said it would in the papers and the tech support was great.
It's also very useful to have the mobile app and being able to access the system on the go. I had to do it the other day to let a neighbor in to reset a router and fix the networking problem I was having. I just disarmed the system and told him it was okay then I rearmed it when they left. I certainly don't have worries now that I have Frontpoint. I had to put a system in because my insurance company insisted on it, so my hand was forced in that respect but I'm glad that I have it.

I decided to use it because its online review was very good and because of the ability to control it from our smartphones. They have a mobile app that I use quite often. I've recommended it to a couple of my friends because of how easy it was for a do-it-yourself installation. Regarding our interactions with them, they're always very positive and helpful. I walk away from any of those request for help with a very positive feeling. When we first got it, we were out three or four times a week together for four or five hours at a time. We would regularly use our mobile phones to arm it after we left the house and disarm it just as we're coming home. We have since got into a habit of not arming it as often when we're away but it's also because we're not as regularly quite away as a couple. One of us is usually home or coming shortly after we leave. But it's been very good and reliable.

The Frontpoint people have been great. I haven't had any problems whatsoever with them. I had a lot of incidences but have been very lucky that I haven't had to use it other than turning it on and off. I've only had one time ever that somebody was going to come, watch my house, and keep the dog and the code went off. They called and I've had to say what my code was.
That sounds like the kind of service you deserve!

I've had Frontpoint for about two years. It's better than my old system that was pretty good. I set it when I leave and unset it when I come home so I don't have much need to access it on the go. But the few times that I have realized that I left it unset or something it's been nice to be able to set it remotely through the mobile app. Early on when one of my motion sensors wasn't functioning properly the team at Frontpoint helped me work through that. They helped me test it and figured out what the problem was. I got a new one and got it all set up and everything has been fine ever since. It's a good system and the service has been good. It's fairly priced. It's been a pleasant experience and system the does what it needs to do.

My experience has been very good with Frontpoint and I would recommend them to anyone. It was very easy installing their security device, but I'm a do-it-yourself type of person. I have their mobile app and I like it a lot, I'm more aware of what's going on in the house. We have other people living here besides my wife and myself so we're more aware because we hear the front door, the back door and the sliding door open. What I like is I get a warning when we lose power in the middle of the night or when I'm away from the home. I get a mobile alert that the house is without power and I like that feature a lot. Frontpoint provides the service as advertised and I've enjoyed being their customer.

There was no problem installing the Frontpoint security device. We use its mobile app all the time. One thing I do like about it is when we leave the house, if we forget to set the alarm, it reminds us a couple of times. As a matter of fact it's rather insistent that we didn't do it. The only thing that I called in about is there's not a sensor available that lets you know there's a problem on that particular line. I was told there's no such thing available. We have a freezer in the garage and one time the power went off and we didn't know it and lost everything.
I had inquired a couple of times about some door locks that would operate within the system. But everything is so do-it yourself and this may or may not work. That's a lot of bothersome. But one thing that's very positive is we've had this since the fall of 12, going on three years, and most of the sensors have their original batteries. I find it remarkable.
Thanks for the feedback, and we try to make sure all the batteries we use last anywhere from 3-5 years. Also, you can set up a notification on your myfrontpoint.com to alert you if there is a power failure via text/email. Please call us at your earliest convenience and we can easily walk you through setting this up!

I went to this security system in the first place is I had a long term partner who died. And so all of a sudden, my house is going to be alone more than it had been. So I needed some kind of security because I travel once in a while. I've been using Frontpoint for two years. I have never had a single complaint with what Frontpoint is doing for me now. It's been easy to use and install. I've called three time and the first one was when I accidentally activated the alarm and I want to make sure they turn it off, which they did. The second time was because I was going on a trip, so I wanted them to test the system because I haven't had an alarm. It was apparently fine. And the third time, I asked about the batteries in the devices because they said, there was going to come a time when we need to replace the batteries. They said they will tell me when to do that and how to do it. Overall, I'd recommend them because whatever they promise, they deliver.

Our neighborhood has a block watch and we meet with our police department once a month. I missed a meeting and one of the girls who went to the meeting called me afterwards and she said one of the discussions was on home security. I had ADT at the time. It was built into my condo and she mentioned that a few people she had talked to in the neighborhood had switched to Frontpoint because it was wireless and they thought that the price was better. The service was just as good as ADT, if not better. So I looked into it and I stopped ADT and purchased what I needed from Frontpoint. My son-in-law stuck it in the walls for me. Then I got the alarm.com app and one of the things you can put on your keychain so you can stand outside your door and lock or unlock it.
I have no complaints at all. I haven't had to call for anything but a couple of times when my cats got a little frisky and I was using the "away" button when I left. I finally had to stop using that. So now when I leave the house, I put it on "stay" only because I have these huge cats. They're Maine Coon and they jump from chair to chair. They were setting off the motion detector. I got a call from Frontpoint and they say, "Your motion sensor went off."
The first time this happened, I was 15 minutes away at my daughter's and I came flying home. I called my neighbor upstairs in the meantime and said, "Could you go down and just make sure nobody broke in? Just look and see if the door is open." It didn't look like anybody had broken in. So when I got there, I thought maybe the alarm just tripped. But about 3 days later, I got another call and that's when I started to think, "I wonder if it's the crazy cats because when I'm gone, I'm sure they're flying around all over the house." So I stopped using the "away" button and use the "stay" one. I haven't had any problems since then. Customer service has always been delightful. The young lady who sold me the system was very, very nice and fully explained everything so I'm very happy with Frontpoint. It's easy, they're responsive, and their equipment works just fine.

I looked online for security systems and checked ratings and overall customer experience and went with Frontpoint. Installing it was super easy, like plug and play. I use the app everyday. I have other systems even that like my employer has a system for their office and I use it for that so I use it literally multiple times a day everyday. I'm not as concerned about my house since installing it. I know that if there's a problem that I can be notified and I can go back quickly. Even like accidentally leaving my garage door open, I don't have to worry about because I have a sensor on there so it's kind of peace of mind to just leave the house and not be concerned.

My brother is a Frontpoint customer and when I moved to this house, we were talking about alarms one day and he told me about the Frontpoint security system and recommended it. I was looking for an alarm system so I signed up with them based on his recommendation, and it has been about three years now since using them.
Installing the device is easy and straightforward. And I have the mobile app on my phone so that when I'm away, I could monitor things a bit. I use that app pretty much almost every day. From time to time I've interacted with the Frontpoint reps. I call them because when I first got the system compared to now, it has grown a lot in terms of more sensors. When I first got it, I had a few of my windows covered and the main front and back door. But then as time went on, I did my house two stories so I had more sensors on my upstairs windows, and each time I had to deal with the Frontpoint folks.
There was only one time when I dealt with a frontline person that really upset me due to the way he handled the call. But that was only one person out of probably 10 to 15 people I've talked with over the years. That's why this one stood out a bit because I was so surprised the way he was behaving on the phone and, in fact, I interrupted the call and hung up on him.

The Frontpoint system is far more reliable compared to the wired security system we have in our home in England. I never get false alarms with Frontpoint and it's just much easier to operate. We travel a lot so I find the the mobile app handy as it allows me to check on what's going on at home. I had to call their team for advice on a couple of things when we were first setting it up and they were very helpful. I feel more secure having this system around. When you live in an urban area you're always a little concerned about safety so I think Frontpoint has been very helpful. I just think the monthly fee for the monitoring services is too high so it would be better if it were lower, but I guess that comes with the territory.

I spent hours on the phone with them and they found out that they didn't give their tech people the versions of door lock that would work with our unit. Now they do. They now have a list and have the firmware version of what works with their system.
Exactly! We now send out a list of the locks, lights, and additional equipment we can support with their exact model numbers so there will never be any confusion.

So far my experience with Frontpoint is good and I am satisfied with them. The only critique I have is for a specific device. Its panel is not the main one, it's separated from it and I did have issues with it like losing connection and the overall entity seems to be a little clunky. But I don't really do much with it so it's okay. There were some really silly things where you should be able to put in announcements and words, example it would say "back door" or "front door" and have it say it out when it happens. But there's some limitations on what it could do like you have to compromise and just come up with words that would seem to mean something but it's not the actual thing so you couldn't really specify what you wanted to say when something opens up. That's the only weird thing, it's just a little unfinished.
I think Frontpoint just works with what's available. And I don't think they designed that part, the manufacturer makes it and they just provide the service which was excellent. Whenever I have issues, they quickly resolved it. I don't have any issues with Frontpoint in terms of support or technical advice or how it works. It's been very smooth. Better than other companies I have to deal with and the devices are very good except for that one panel -- it's just poorly designed.

We decided to use Frontpoint because everything's online. It's pretty easy to do and we didn't have to have someone come in our house and have the pressure on us like we had before. ADC is a little more high pressure. So we got something on our own. We've had Frontpoint as our security device going on 3 years now. It was very simple to set up. However, I keep getting a message error on one of my windows and part of it is because we just moved into this house. It's a new house and we transferred our system here so we don't have everything hooked up yet. So it was just a matter of a few sensors that the system was used to. We haven't contacted customer service yet about that...it's just a matter of me getting the time to do that.
Since installing the security device, I actually don't worry as much about our home's security. We were broken into at our other house and we did have Frontpoint then. However, the robbers broke into a bathroom window that wasn't monitored and since then, we made sure those windows are locked. Frontpoint did call to alert us because the robbers opened the door to leave. But earlier in the week the door had blown open so we said, "No, it's just a false alarm," and then when we got home we found out that we did get robbed. The alarm worked fine and it was more of an error on our part. We really learned from that experience. Everything's good so far, knock on wood. Once I get the system up here dialed in, it would be smooth sailing from here.
We're very sorry to hear that you were robbed previously and thought it was just a false alarm at first. We are however, happy to hear you got those bathroom windows covered and you're planning on calling us when you're ready to setup the system in your new home.

I was looking for non-intrusive security system and Frontpoint was simple that I can do it myself without having someone come and wire it up. I am using the alarm app it is linked to and it is good as long as it doesn't fall in the wrong hands. I think it's pretty cool. I got in touch with their team a couple of times when I had trouble with one of my sensors. They were very helpful, very courteous and very professional. I can say that Frontpoint gives us a sense of security when we travel outside and it's good to know that if there's anything that happens then there's someone that's watching it or it's the system that's watching it. Two years ago it looks like Frontpoint was of leading edge but I hear now other companies are coming up with similar products so I don't know where the technology is going but it will be good to know whether Frontpoint continues to stay with the trends, giving more wireless access and giving more on-the-go access.

I did my own research on alarm systems online. Through reviews and other sources, I came to the conclusion that Frontpoint is the right choice for me. I like that I could self-install and that it's a wireless device. That means if I moved I could take it with me. Some of the home automation features that they have built-in were intriguing for me too. But most of all, their app control feature was a critical factor for me to decide to go with them because I really like the idea that I can control the system from my phone. It’s probably the most important thing to me, or at least the thing I enjoy the most.
I had a couple of technical issues sure but with Frontpoint I definitely feel safer. Our first false alarm was a couple of months ago and they helped me troubleshoot it. When I did the install, I got some help with the automation lights to get it to work correctly as well. I just like knowing that my home is secure. The lighting automation enables me to setup lights to turn on at random times while we're on vacation so it looks like someone's home. The system also allows me to give guest codes to relatives so if they need to come into our house they have their own code so I can enable and disable that as needed. We've just been really happy with the service, and the app seems to have improved so that's been great. I recommend them to people all the time.

I have been a loyal ADT customer. When we first moved into our house, we had ADT wire up our house in September of 2000. When times got tough, in 2004-2005, we cancelled our ADT use to save money. In Jan/Feb 2015, we started to see what would be involved to restart our ADT system back up. ADT was our first choice. The rep from ADT came out and sold us on upgrading our "apparently" older wired system, and we were sold, until they talked price! That's when I started to research the best home alarm systems out there. Frontpoint kept coming up as the best in most reviews. I spoke with a rep from Frontpoint and was never pressured to use them. That impressed me. Then after researching more and more, and price shopping with other systems out there, I wanted to try them out.
Frontpoint also gave me a 2-month trial, versus a 1-month. That impressed me as well. I installed the system myself. VERY EASY. Please keep in mind, there are many variables that cause sensors to NOT WORK the way described. So distance from there main controller needs to be kept in mind. Ours worked flawlessly right out of the box! We have had Frontpoint for only 1 1/2 months mind you, but so far so good! Customer service is great! Their support people are great!

I called Frontpoint to inquire on a system and felt pressured into "a no risk trial". In going through all the details, I was advised that I would be charged $42.99 for the month of February (even though there would only be couple days left in the month). When I asked about that, the salesperson told me he would expedite the system to me at no extra charge. (No extra charge is key here!). He did not tell us that if we returned the system that they would take the $25 out of our refund!!! ("No Extra Charge" to me means the balance of what I am paying would be for the system!!!) Once I received the system, I changed my mind because I did not like the bulkiness of the keypad and didn't want it always sitting on our kitchen counter. I didn't even take anything out the the box, and returned the system the next day. When Frontpoint credited my credit card back, it was $64.99 less than what I had paid.
I called to inquire and after waiting a day (so they could look into it), I was told they would credit me an additional $39.99, but not the $25 expedited shipping. Normally, I understand that I would pay the shipping, but in this case, I feel that Frontpoint should have made more of an effort in customer service. I did not ask for the expedited shipping - nor did I need it!!! I was not in a hurry to receive the system. I feel the original salesperson should have suggested shipping the system on March 1st, thus beginning the monthly charge at that time. I feel that in an effort to make a sale (or for whatever reason), he was trying to push to get me to sign the contract that day. I understand that Frontpoint (as well as other business do not refund shipping), but in the instance they should've made an exception because I'm not the one who asked for expedited shipping!!! And they told me it was "no extra charge"!
They finally offered to refund the $8 (standard shipping) to me, but when I said I felt it should be reversed... that they should refund the $17 (for the expedited) and I should pay the $8, there was no give. I know this argument is over pennies, but it is the principle and how it all came about. I feel like I was taken advantage of and I am so thankful that I did not stay with this company. We ended going with another company, which by the way, the salesperson was very helpful and there was absolutely no pressure. We are very pleased with our choice. I recommend that you take into consideration how a company treats its customers and potential customers when making your decision.

I didn't want go with the commercial brands that everybody is using and wanted something that uses good technology behind the scenes and is really scalable as far as if I want to add or take away equipment so I went with Frontpoint. It was easy to install the device - at par with the topnotch. I use the mobile app to make sure the dogs are okay. Frontpoint is perfect.

I just got home from being gone for the winter and had problems with the camera system while I was gone. But I found out mainly it was my DSL router. All in all, I've had a very good experience with Frontpoint. I did recommend them to my son and his partner and they are waiting for the equipment to arrive.
Wow, thanks for the recommendation and we're looking forward to getting your son all set up!

Frontpoint has been excellent. They have been so patient with me in explaining what I or they needed to do during the few times I had to call them. It’s been really great so I would recommend them.

Spoke to rep who followed written spiel and determined equipment needed for my home. I had to convince him I needed a motion detector for the master bedroom which is in a separate area and able to be accessed by a window off the front porch. The package was to contain control panel, 4 door, 4 motion and 2 smoke detectors. He gave me a price of $367 for equipment. Told him I would discuss with my husband after gathering info. Within 15 min "sales mgr" called me and said price would be 99.95. So I decided to try it. When box was opened no smoke detectors. When I called I was told they were not included due to the lower price. I told them to review the recording -- nothing was said about reducing the equipment pkg. Then I offered 1 "free" smoke detector and I would need to purchase a second one. I told them I was cancelling them as I do not deal with that type of business practice.
So then I was told they would send the 2 smoke detectors and extend the trial period 15 days. Okay with reservations. Then my brother-in-law and I started the installation. We tried the motion detector in every room in various spots and found they were not responding very well. I could walk all over the room and not get picked up. Called customer service and received advice to install the 4-5 ft from floor. We did and spent literally hours determining the best spot to pick up movement. It was really apparent they were not anywhere as responsive as the sensors in our old system which responded immediately whenever someone entered the room.
Then we did trials with the alarm system on. I made loops around the house entering and crossing every room in front of the motion sensors.The response was erratic at best. Of the four motion sensors sometimes 1 would work sometimes 2, almost never all four and sometimes none of them responded. I am 5 feet tall. They would pick up my brother-in-law who is 6'5" if he was standing up. But he could go all around the house on his hands and knees and never get picked up. I have been burgled once and they can grab a lot of stuff and be long gone before the cops get anywhere near. So I am returning everything. Those motion sensors are crap. And their business practices questionable.
Thank you for bringing this experience to our attention. We do not take our customer's dissatisfaction lightly.

I have some items in my house that I value quite a bit and the Frontpoint security system is giving me a level of comfort - I have fewer worries. I went with them because of class, the equipment that they had, and that it was internet based. And talking to their people is just flawless. I'm very happy with Frontpoint.

I had this alarm company for three weeks now. So far everything is AWESOME! THEIR customer service is 5++++++! All of them are so courteous and polite. How this company managed to find SUCH A GROUP, that manifest so much patience and love for their job, just by talking on the phone is commendable. Barely new customer, I had called dozens, dozens times for questions, and never had I experience BUT SUPERB SERVICE. Well, I enjoy FP so much, esp the phone apps, great. I had brinks turned Adt for 16 yrs, NO COMPARISON...I'm really looking forward for a bright future with FP. Oh, their people that follows up survey is ALSO PHENOMENAL, THANKS to HER!
Wow, we're blushing from all your kind words! Thank you for your feedback and we hope to keep helping you for years to come.

We are gone quite often so we put Frontpoint system in. It works quite well, especially the video access for those that we need to have come in when we're not there, because they're able to get in to do work. I can set up the alarms for that on the mobile app. Our home is in the colder climate so we have things in there to protect it from frost and from freezing the pipes and for also letting us know if there's any water leaks or anything like that. It notified me a couple of times when it detected some moisture and I had someone check the house. The person who was checking my house had a little bit of snow and their hat fell near the detector and it went off. That's how good it works!
Wow, well it sounds like you're got yourself all setup and prepared for anything! Glad to hear you're getting use out of those environmental sensors, while also using those interactive features. Please let us know if you ever need anything else.

My wife and I switched to Frontpoint from ADT and we've been with them for a year and a half since. When we first bought it, they sent the stuff, I set it up, and it worked. Their mobile app works just as well and we both like it. Absolutely recommended.
It sounds like you made the right switch and we're more than happy to have you as a part of our Frontpoint family!

It is crucial that we are able to access and control the system on the go so we use the Frontpoint mobile app all the time. Adding to that, I’ve been very impressed with their support service. When we had a module failure, they very quickly got a new module sent out and walked me through reinstalling it, so I was very impressed with the whole process.
We're happy to hear we've impressed you with our responsiveness to your safety! You deserve the best and we're happy to give it to you.

We were looking for a wireless security system and found that Frontpoint had a lot of good reviews online so we had them out to talk about their product. We decided to sign up. Installing it was very easy and they were very open to calls if we had questions for tech support. Sometimes we’ll open our garage door and forget that we had alarm on so the people at Frontpoint will call and they call within a minute while the alarm is going on. It’s just really quick and incredible that someone would respond that quickly. My husband also uses the Frontpoint mobile app and it is very nice that we can access our system and disarm it for our son on the go. It doesn’t matter where we are. We also like the online newsletter because it keeps us updated about things.
Glad to hear the system is working perfectly for your family! Let us know if you ever need any other assistance.

So far so good. I've been with them for over a year now and they've been very knowledgeable; they walk me through everything and just generally help me out. I like the security feature which beeps when anybody opens the door. It works great. There was one time though when there was a faulty unit at a window that would always say that the window was closed even if it was actually open. Frontpoint sent a new one out and it's fine now.
That’s great! It’s our top priority to make sure you are always taken care of so we’re happy to hear that one of our Support Specialists was able to help you with that door sensor and get a new one sent out to you. Thanks so much for sharing your experience and please let us know if you ever need anything in the future.

The Frontpoint rep says (over the phone and email) they will honor a free month of service for me and anyone I referred to Frontpoint. Also I will get a $100 Amazon gift card for every customer I refer. I so referred two new customers to Frontpoint and the headache began. The initial install for the first referral customer went bad as they shipped us missing parts for the installation. The antenna was missing from the wireless camera and there was no battery in one of the glass break sensor. We expressed the urgency of getting a security system up ASAP and this happened. This caused a delay in getting our house "fully and completely" secured because we had to wait for the missing parts to arrive.
For the Amazon gift card, you would have to make repeated calls to ask for it. And when you do, they will say they have no record of promising the gift card. So I have to forward all the emails from the Frontpoint rep with proof in writing so they can put it into their system in order to honor it. You would think all this should have been entered into the system from the start of the initiation (account setup) process. So after multiple calls and emails to follow up on my gift card, finally after a few months, I received it.
And for the free month of service that I and my two referrals should have gotten? Till this day (5 months after), we still have NOT received the free month of service. After many calls explaining the situation and expressing my concern, Frontpoint has NOT made any effort into the what is called “Bait and switch” scheme and has not corrected the issue.

I was investigating what sort of security systems were good and what discount I’d get. My insurance man said he had just put one on in himself and it was Frontpoint Security. He had read in some kind of consumer reports that it was rated number one so I went with it too. It's easy to install. I set it up and then they checked it out. I ordered a couple of extra room, detectors, and they got them right out to me and set them up. I have a little bit more peace of mind.
