    My wife and I were moving into Virginia from Washington, D.C. and we were having our first child. It was going to be our first home with a new baby and we wanna make sure that we were protected. We shopped around with different companies and Frontpoint was very well rated online from consumer websites. I like that the Frontpoint system is based on a cellular connection, so it's very hard to break in to and cut off the power supply of the system. My customer service experience was really good. I called a couple times to get some information and the people there were very polite and responsive.

    The rep told me that we could try their system in our home for a certain period of time, risk-free. It was nice to be able to have that time period. The rep also talked about the layout of the house, the windows, the doors, the point of entry, and then we came up with a good package to start with. I called a few weeks after and got a few more sensors that might add some more security to the different points of entries. They were able to provide those at no cost. It was part of the start-up plan. They sent us the structure of the house, and I was able to get the system all up and running. I called back their customer service to ask the rep a question about how to change a sensor or where to move it. I also asked a couple of other questions during the installation and they were able to help me out. My experience with that was fine. I consider myself to be a handy guy. It would be easy for anyone to set the system up.

    Everything with the equipment is well-made. At one point, my wife shut the sliding door too hard and one of the sticky sensors fell. I just pressed the sensor back there, and it hasn't come back off since. There were a couple of times where I tried to test the system in terms of opening the door to see if the alarm would go off on the phone using the app and it has all been straightforward and good.

    I tried Frontpoint using their free for 30 days offer. I live in a rural area and it turned out that my town does not allow for this kind of security system. You would need a special permit, and when I asked the town about it, they told me I could not get a permit for it. When I called Frontpoint about this they told me to take a few months of free service while I try to "sort this out with my town." I asked the town clerk again, and she told me they do not have the resources to handle a security system like Frontpoint. We have a volunteer fire and ambulance service and no local sheriff. The state responds to emergencies and they do not allow residents of our town special permits for this kind of security service.

    I called Frontpoint again to try and return the equipment. They told me essentially that I am under some contract and have to keep the service. I told them my town doesn't actually allow me to have it. Frontpoint then told me if I try and get out of this contract then I have to pay them over $800. I feel like I've been robbed and threatened by a security business. I still haven't received any reply from their customer service department regarding how to return the equipment they sent me. I expect they will threaten me with some kind of lawsuit... I wish I never fell for their free for 30-day deal.

    We just moved to Miami and we wanted to feel that sense of security and we got Frontpoint. My husband did the installation and he seemed to find it easy enough to do. Also, the system is doing what it's supposed to. I had an issue a couple of months back and the guy who handled it and who helped me through it was amazing. It's good value.

    I purchased a home security system for personal reasons. I researched for a long time, and Frontpoint gave me good information before I bought it. A large part of why I went with them had to do with their marketing pre-sales. They had the 30-day return policy, and the system was easy to set up. Their team was helpful and seemed to be very knowledgeable about the product to just help me figure it out. The installation process was easy. I knew where and how I needed to do it. Setting it up on the phone with them was the rest of the process. But I use their smartphone feature only when I have an alert. In terms of the cost in relation to its quality, it is industry standard, although I feel it’s a little bit expensive. The quality of the features seems to be okay so far, although I wish it was a little bit more flexible. They have two different setups, and I’d like to have more than that so I could customize the system a little bit more.

    I had been with ADT and I did not like them. Frontpoint's price was very comparable and they were highly rated. I also liked their wireless system and how I could do the installation myself. I chose to go with them instead and installing their system was easy. I had to call once but then if I had put more thought into it, I wouldn't have had to. However, I don't like the color and I'd gone through a lot of trouble to hide my window glass breakage device which is very large. It's hard to find a place to put it where it doesn't show. Still, I've been happy with my system thus far.

    We used to have ADT in our renter's home. ADT sent the mail to the address where the alarm is, whether or not that’s where the owner is. So, the renter was able to get the password and username and access the information that was associated with the account, including bank account information. So when I found that out, I switched. I called Frontpoint and they were fine. They were very knowledgeable, very helpful and friendly. I just installed the system with the directions that they sent along with it. I’ve had no issues with billing or with false alarms from the renter since using Frontpoint.

    I purchased Frontpoint as a business security system. I had them as a home security system and its ability to self-install prompted me to go with them. The interactions I had with their reps were good in terms of getting information. They were supposed to upgrade us to the new hub system. I was told as soon as it came out, we’d be upgraded to it but I haven’t heard a word from them so it’s annoying and I’m a little bothered. Still, the quality of the equipment and the overall process were good. While I got to call them about a couple of sensors that were not working right, getting the system installed was simple. It's a good system and I can also tell people they can't really go wrong with Frontpoint.

The reps were professional and the installation was easy. We had a backdoor sensor issue but that got resolved pretty quickly. It was repaired and it took 10 minutes. Also, I have a front doorbell camera and sometimes, it doesn’t record, even though it says so. It turns white that shows that it’s recording, but sometimes, that doesn’t show up. Other than that, I’ve had no issue and I like the service a lot. It’s easy to use and it has worked well, so far.

    I wanted the security when I'm at my place and when I'm gone. I've had ADT but the centers are cellular. They also have to have a landline and I don't have a landline. I went with Frontpoint and the sales was great. They explained everything to me. And every time I've called their customer service with a question, they’ve been right up front and cleared it up. Setting up the system was very easy. I was able to customize it because I wanted motion glass break and I have the smoke CO2 detector. I also have the video cameras that I really like, plus all the appropriate sensors, and they told me how many I needed and where to put them. There wasn’t an issue of overbuying or under-buying.

    The quality of the system is good. My video system works very well. I've only set the alarm off once and it's loud. I also like the idea that I can give different people codes if someone wants to get in around at my house. Also, I am able to use the smartphone features and it's easy. I just open it up and there it is. Sometimes I have a little delay in my video but that could be with the internet where I live.

    Since having the Frontpoint system, I feel better knowing that if I'm asleep, I'm gonna know if the door opens. I have one issue but it's not their fault. It's just the location of a building I'm monitoring. The alarm goes off and online. It could be due to the snow, which I am sure is covering it up. But the alarm is reliable, easy, not cumbersome and it has a long enough cord. I move it into my hallway if I leave town so that if someone comes in, it's right there under a line. Otherwise, I'm moving it around the corner and into the kitchen, out of the way.

The service is good but I'm not clear on how to work the panel. I use the app and I know how to disarm it from the panel but I'm not sure how to set it. Other than that, everything's great.

    Frontpoint had good ratings online so I chose them and their reps have been all good. I had an issue with one of the door sensors that wasn’t working when I first got it. They sent me a different one and this one is working fine. Also, the installation was simple and the instructions were easy to follow. The system works when it has to. But it was windy one day and the alarm went off. The police were dispatched and when it came on my app, I tried to cancel but I hit the wrong button. Now, I gotta pay them $50 and they say if I get another false alarm, I owe $500. I'm not too happy about that.

    Also, the smartphone features could improve. I have a single home and when the alarm is going off in the living room, which was at 3 o'clock in the morning the other day, I could not hear it in my bedroom. The reason I found out the alarm was going off was because they called. Even after I woke up, it's like a faint sound. It's not like I was in a deep sleep, I just couldn't hear it at all. I asked them if they had something like an extra speaker that we can add to the upstairs or the basement but they said no. And that was faulty. That's something very big because let's say somebody had broken into my house, by the time I realize that somebody was in the house, it would have been two or three minutes afterward. But overall, it's fine.

    I looked around and Frontpoint had a very high rating, so I went with them. The reps told me what I was gonna be getting. I was responsible for installing all the sensors and the system. They shipped it in a box. I took it out, peel the sticker away from the sensors, put them on the windows and I'm off. It was very helpful to have the instructions telling me to get online with one of their installation reps when I got the system so that I could finally get it configured, and it worked.

    I have the smartphone feature and I use it all the time. I travel quite a bit and sometimes I forget to turn the alarm on when I'm gone. Frontpoint have been very responsive. The reparative cost is a very important factor. In the end, they turned out to be, unfortunately, closer to what I was trying to keep away from because I was using the smartphone feature. But still the smartphone feature turned out to be beneficial for me and I'm happy with what I purchased.

    For more security, protection while we sleep, and protection for our belongings while we’re at work, we decided to purchase a home security system. My wife researched and Frontpoint seemed to have the best reviews. So, we went with them. The installation of the system was easy. I like that I didn’t have to drill into anything. I just set up the tabs and made sure to program the box. But I needed the instructions because we’ve never done anything like this, so I wasn’t sure exactly what steps to take. And the instructions were helpful.

    I like the quality of the features that we have in our home. When the system was brand new, we weren't sure how to use it and thought the alarm was going off. But the lady from Frontpoint who I spoke to about it was incredibly nice and courteous. Also, we didn’t test the glass breaking capabilities, but it seemed to work. It went off the other day when I let the dog out because I forgot it was on. But I quickly disarmed it and everything seemed to be fine.

    We used to live in a condo, so it was safe enough, and then when we moved to this new house, we decided that we needed to make it more safe for the kids, so we decided to look into home security systems. I read a few reviews about Frontpoint from other people who were happy and I liked the fact they are always connected. We can always reach the place and even if there's a power outage, it's somewhat connected or if someone gets in and he tries to take something out, the call will still go through. Those were some of the things that made me decide that it was good and it was the right decision to do.

    I went to the website and I put my email address in there. Then, I received a phone call from one of the representatives. He told me how to go from there and that he would send me the package with all the sensors. He asked me a whole bunch of questions on how many windows and how many doors and how many levels. From there, we decided how many sensors and other things that we needed for the house and we finished through. It was a great experience. We did the installation ourselves and it went well. It was pretty straightforward and pretty easy to follow through. My husband took care of it and he followed through on the app which tells when to do what and how to proceed.

    Also, I generally feel pretty safe with the features. We have three floors and we have two young children and I like the idea that every time our door opens, there is a beeping sound. So, I'm always alert on whether someone opens or closes the door. I really appreciate that. It's for peace of mind. And with the smartphone features, in case I forget to set the alarm on when I leave the house, I can arm it from outside or wherever I am and I can also disarm it before I actually get inside the house. That is pretty cool. And we are around $40 or something a month and it's pretty fair. The level of security is pretty good, so I feel safe. I'm still happy with the choice I made and I don’t see this changing any time soon. I would definitely recommend Frontpoint.

We signed up, but we thought that there were some other ones that we might want to look into. We liked the portability of Frontpoint. We could pick it up and take it to another house. We're in our second home and we wanted to have a little bit of peace of mind. Recently, there had been some break-ins on the street. With our security system, we are at least a step ahead of that.

    Frontpoint called me several times to check on our system because we didn’t get it installed right away. They were very nice about checking with us periodically to make sure it wasn't the system being too hard to set-up. The quality of the equipment is very good. We got the camera just hooked up the other day. We were very surprised by the clarity of that. Also, Frontpoint was very easy to get ahold of and was very helpful. We ordered the wrong camera and their rep got us the right one.

    But it might be nice to have the option to have the system installed ourselves or have a technician do it if we wanted to. We liked the fact that we could do the installation, but we didn’t realize how challenging it was gonna be. I had to wait for my husband and he wasn’t quite sure how to do a couple of things.

    I had a friend who was using Frontpoint and he was happy with the setup process where he just did it himself. He didn’t have to pay somebody to do it. Also, all his equipment was free and the monthly fee was well, so that was enough to sell me. He showed me the app and stuff, gave me his referral code and I went from there. When I called in, I spoke to someone and he assessed my specific situation. I wasn’t looking for a security system until I had some suspicious behavior outside of my home. He was able to get me a few pieces of free equipment that otherwise, I would’ve paid for since I brought that up. He was helpful in trying to get me the best deal I could possibly get on my equipment and the lowest rate. So, I was really pleased with working with him in the set up.

    The door and window alarms were incredibly easy to set up and then, it took me a couple of months to get my cameras set up because I didn’t feel like doing it. However, once I got into it, the set up was simple. I had to call in for support because I was having issues getting the camera connected to Wi-Fi but that was more user error than anything. So far, I’m happy with the system and I don’t have any complaints. We prefer using the manual arm and disarm, rather than setting a schedule or using geosensing because I’ve had problems with it on a couple of apps. I don’t trust my GPS so, we like that. Now that we have gotten used to it, it’s simple for us and that we can do everything remotely if we need to is great as well.

    After I bought my home, I had two separate companies come and harass me trying to get me to buy security systems. So, I was hesitant to even look into it and put it off after buying my home last January. The drill is, they would show up and show you how much crime is in your neighborhood. Then, they would try to get in your house to look at everything. I didn’t know who they were so I didn’t trust them. I decided I wasn’t gonna do it but the experience with Frontpoint changed my mind. It was a totally different business model that was geared more towards the consumer and not trying to strong arm people into dealing with more than they need to.

When you pay for it, have the stuff be working and not have to do a lot of back and forth. It always sucks when you gotta take time out of your own day to have problems.

It’s been 4 months and when finally I gave a call back the customer service states it’s not their problem and instead of touch screen I can use the app.

    The app itself keeps on shutting down every time I try to make a change. I asked them the option to return the equipment and they state I am still in agreement and have to deal with them.

    I have to work sometimes 24 hours at a time and I wanted my wife to feel comfortable in the house when I’m not there. So I decided to get home security. I looked at a lot of reviews online and got a quote from Vivint. It was really expensive. The rep kept kind of upgrading me on all sorts of features that he thought we would need. And then I had a call with Frontpoint, and the sales rep was like, “You know what? You really don’t need that. You really only need to do the first floor.” He was very straightforward with me and I appreciated that.

    I liked that with Frontpoint you could just purchase the equipment up front and that it was pretty interchangeable with other companies. So, if down the road we decided not to stick with Frontpoint, we could use the same equipment on someone else. The only thing that was a problem for me is I was thinking of buying cameras and it concerns me that the data gets stored on the Frontpoint servers. Even though it’s encrypted or protected it’s still accessible to people like if somebody were to hack in or view it.

    The system is self-install. At first, I wasn’t really all that excited about self-install, but it did save a little bit of money. I did the installation through my phone app so the drawings don’t really apply sometimes to the kinds of doors and doorframes that we have and stuff like that. It wasn’t terrible, but it was kinda tedious. It probably took me a couple of hours. But so far, everything has been great. We like the app. It’s pretty easy to use. We can very easily turn it on and off the system from there, or if like an alarm goes off and we wanna look at something, we can just scroll back through the history. My wife’s pretty happy. We like that when the door opens, we know somebody’s here because of the chime, when we wouldn’t have otherwise heard them. I have toddlers and if a door opens somewhere, they’ll ask, “Is daddy home?” or, “Is mommy home?”

    We found Frontpoint to be better when we looked through the online reviews and we compared between the other companies. Their sales agent was very helpful and informative. And he didn't try to upsell me. He wanted to give me what I wanted, so I trusted his opinion and suggestions completely. The system was very simple to install. I went online and used their YouTube tutorial. And when I had a couple of questions, I called them and they immediately helped me. Their customer service is really great and it's a very good system. They had every option that I was looking for. And the features and the app are great as well. It's a good deal and I am willing to pay the full monty for the highest security features. The equipment is working really well, so far. And I would recommend them.

    My wife and I were expecting and I felt more obligated having a security system in the house. In addition, it has been on our list of things to do. Through an internet search, I compared different options out there and I liked Frontpoint more since I like being able to set it up ourselves and not have a company come out and install everything. The reps I worked with were knowledgeable and helpful. The first time I talked to them on the phone, I could tailor what I needed. Also, I could help steer the ship in terms of what my package would look like depending on how many door and motion sensors I might need. My minor complaint though is that they did a hard sales pitch to make the commitment. In addition, the initial pricing was so high and so we decided later.

    Nevertheless, getting it all set up was a good experience. The thing worked well and there were a couple instances we had to call techs and have them verify if our motion sensors were working or getting tripped off by a dog. We have a dog that was right on the 40 to 45-pound threshold for setting off the motion sensors, and the people we talked to were helpful and we did a couple of tests in the different rooms. Overall the Frontpoint system works well for modern family needs as opposed to having to call and have somebody come out. I recommend it.

    I was told by the Frontpoint sales rep that I would have a cellular app where I can turn on and turn off my alarm from my cellphone. Two months later, it didn't work out like that. I called the customer service and spoke to the legal department. I told them that their sales rep was very smart with me. I am stuck right now. They said they advertise the cellular app on Google. It got the lowest price and so people fall in now. They also said that those things were to give a compliment to the following two months.

    They don’t put that stuff anywhere on the website anymore and they didn't even explain that. Instead, they're sending a whole bunch of document. God knows what the hell they point on that agreement on it. In fact, the document seems more like an apartment lease. It was an alarm agreement that is eight pages long. They also pushed me to do the cellphone sign up right away. When I asked to talk to the manager, the rep said, "I'm the last person you can talk to." Other than that, if they're getting our cell, the same way it took my name, number, address, and Social Security, this company should also provide us their federal tax ID number so we can go to the courts and put it up whatever we like it on their business credit profile number. What Frontpoint is doing is false advertisement. I had a very bad experience with them and I'm gonna cancel their service very soon.

    There are so many thefts here and we decided it was time to get a home security system to feel safer. Also, when we go out for vacation, at least, we are at ease. We have Xfinity before and we were really upset. Every time we would go out, we set the alarm and go away. To my great surprise, we were going out for a long vacation one time and I called them in to check everything and they said they didn’t get any signal. We were paying every month and they never told us. Then, one of my friends decided to go with Frontpoint and I tried to shift to that. The sales rep explained it well. But I gave the less number for the window sensors and I called back and the rep said that I had to pay quite a bit. I was a bit upset. The installation wasn’t very difficult. But one part of the window sensors fell down. It was lost so, the stickers are not that strong. Other than that, the features are good.

It took two of us to get through the installation. It’s not as easy as it seems. But between the two of us, we figured it out and the video support was great. We were able to watch that and kind of follow along. And the customer service in terms of signup, follow-up, and getting us up and running was fantastic. But I had a situation where we got a message on our phone that indicated that there was no support after hours. I was a little disappointed in that.

    For about three years, we had been with ADT. My parents have been with them since I was six so it was one of those things I just did. Then, we started looking and realizing that no one had really reached out to us to say that they have a new technology or discuss upgrades since I've been a member for so long. So, we started doing some research and found the current system and really kind of liked their spiel. With Frontpoint, I really liked the system and the protection they offered. The price was good, but they don’t advertise and I thought that was a really, really awesome thing because they're incredibly highly rated. There's a ton of reviews online, but you never see a commercial and that says a lot about a company.

    I filled out a thing online of, "I'm interested, give me a call," and within the hour, I was talking to somebody. I worked with the same guy the whole way through and it was very, very easy. It wasn’t pressured. Then, with the installation, everything was labeled and we just stuck it on the wall and it was good to go. The instructions were very comprehensive and super easy to follow. I think my grandmother could've followed it.

    The features are pretty consistent with anything else I've seen. We could have gone higher tech, but I don’t really think that we need it. We just need a general coverage and it has been really, really great. We have a little key fob that unlocks the house from outside which is awesome. It was a breeze to switch to Frontpoint and it feels very secure. I have recommended them many times.

    We lived in a different state before and used Protection 1. Since we moved and had the ability to try something new, I figured I would try three different options and Frontpoint was mentioned as a good one. The sales agents from Frontpoint were very nice and helpful. They explained everything to me and how it would work. They were clear about the process as far as billing and setting up. Frontpoint's cost was good and it was a bit cheaper than our previous service. However, I wasn't supposed to get charged for the first couple of months and I ended up getting charged. The agent had given me her email, so I emailed her and she fixed it right away.

    I had almost everything set up during the installation but for some reason, it wasn't recognizing all of the door sensors. I called Frontpoint's customer support. They took a little bit but ended up resetting it and we went through it together to get it to go. It took a couple of tries but we were able to get everything added correctly and for the most part, the installation of the system went fine. What we have in our system is very similar to what we had before. We originally had a camera along with our motion sensor at our previous place but having the experience of using that, it wasn't that helpful. So, I didn't opt to get it this time in this system. I use the Frontpoint app to arm the system and I haven't had a single problem with it. So far, the features offered in our system are good. I would recommend Frontpoint to other people.

    Frontpoint had excellent customer service. They were very helpful and told me how much stuff to add, they answered questions about things, and they made sure I got everything I ordered. The installation was fairly straightforward and I didn’t have any issues putting the stuff in. But my system didn’t quite come out the way I thought it would. They used to have the little LCD touchpad you could order or get upgraded. It's different from the regular one. They didn’t have it anymore and they still haven’t come up with that upgraded keypad. They told me that they would let me know when they get one, but that hasn’t happened yet.

    Also, they said you could add smart stuff to the system but it doesn’t seem to be very easy to do it yourself like their syncing control lights. It’s not obvious how to do it unless you call Frontpoint. My expectation was I would be good to go on some kind of an app. I have my Frontpoint hub and if I want to add my lights to it, I can just do it. But Frontpoint doesn't seem to be this open-ended as I thought. Other than that, I like Frontpoint so far and I will recommend it if friends need some other digital and fancier interface.

But I haven't tested the system yet. I could only tell one of the sensors went out and hasn’t been responding. And it’s the sensor that is the whole reason why I bought it. Their smartphone features are also limited and it's not very fast for timing. Also the stickers they gave for the system don’t work. Say somebody was to come and kick the door to where the sensor would fall off. So I secured the device myself.

    We moved, it was new construction, and we travel sometimes, so we wanted a security system. I did some research online and went with Frontpoint because of the cost and the ability that if I wanted to switch monitoring companies, I could switch using their equipment. I had a great call with the salesperson. We talked about a lower cost system from a competitor and he told me the pros and cons. I don’t think he was pushy, but he helped me make a decision by showing me his system was probably more superior. He gave me more features and then I agreed over the phone to purchase the system. The cost of the system was reasonable. Included in the evaluation is monitoring the monthly monitoring which has sorta been arranged of what everyone was charging, which is about $45 a month.

    The installation was very easy and the instructions were very good. It took about 15 or 20 minutes to set up and the packaging was very unique. When you unpackage everything, it sort of guides you as to what you’re doing and what the pieces you’re looking at and everything is sorta peel and stick. And the system has great features. It looks like everything is working well and meets my expectations. The only thing is there is a door alarm that announces when the door is open and closed. The app has a feature to silence that alarm and that didn’t work. When I called up Frontpoint, they said their app isn’t developed far enough for that feature to be turned on and off from the app and that they would do it for us remotely. That never happened either. So, when the door opens or closes, it’s a very loud announcement and there’s no way of muffling that or make that quieter. But the smartphone features are great. I could monitor people coming in and out of my house and if the door is left open, we get an alert. We haven’t had any false alarms and everything is good.

    We were replacing an existing home security system and we switched to Frontpoint because of the price. We've had the system for six months now and our experience with the company has been lousy. Originally, there was no mention of I was gonna have to pay for the app. I was given a monthly rate and to my understanding, it included the app. And basically, you pay for everything with them. They nickel and dime you to death. The first rep I interacted with was a super nice guy, but he was a complete liar. He should have been upfront that the app was an additional charge. There's no mention of it anywhere on their website that I could find. And when you call them, they do not say anything about that being extra and if you pay for the app, it doesn’t make it very cost-efficient at all. Also, we live in a 100 plus year-old house. The doors aren’t exactly perfectly square and I had to go buy a different adhesive for the doors during installation.

    I’ve contacted them on several occasions and they have told me that they would have somebody get back to me. That was another thing that really aggravated me. They said that you would have 24/7 access to someone. But if you call the 800 number, you get an answering service that knows nothing about their system. And then, you leave a message or you email the company but they never responded to the last email I sent them. It was a system question. As soon as my contract is up with them, I will be switching.

The customer service was always friendly, polite, and they were available. You can set it up yourself. They have the tutorials on there. It’s all set up pretty easily.

Furthermore, their system was a self-install type which was interesting and had cellular access so I didn't have to have the security equipment hardwired.

Still, that was very simple and the newer devices were better. The instructions for the motion detectors said that I had to have them down about 4 to 5 feet.

The quality is good too but the rep said we needed more door and window sensors than he said we needed because for a couple of rooms, he had us do motion instead of on the windows. But if you’re at home and set the alarm, that motion sensor doesn’t work. It only works if you’re away and the motion sensor is the one that the cat keeps setting off. We arm and disarm the alarm all the time from the smartphone. The other day, we set the alarm on away when we were upstairs at night and forgot it was on.

But one thing the first sales guy said to me that has stuck in my mind is it doesn’t matter what kind of security system you have, but if you don’t set it, it's no good to anybody. And that has always rang in my head because I'd leave the house with a bunch of kids running crazy and I do forget to set it.

    One time, we were robbed while my son was in the house. I had my phone set at that time where it would ding every time my door would open at home but when he left the house, my phone didn’t ding. So when it did, I just assumed it was him going back to the house. It turned out that somebody had come in the house. So the next day, I knew my son wasn’t there and I just set the alarm when I left. The guy didn’t know we had a security system because it didn’t go off the day before, so he came back for more that day. But we caught him and the police said they wanted to know who I was using for my security because when I told them how many minutes had passed, they said it was the quickest and most efficient one they had ever gotten. So that was really exciting.

    We also had an alarm go off in the middle of the night and my husband happened to be home that weekend. I had the smoke and the heat detector and Frontpoint called. I told them we haven't seen anything and they said we needed to look. So we spent an hour and a half sniffing and looking, and we saw smoke. I spent so much time to find out where this was coming from and I almost got frustrated because I didn’t know where it was. In the end, it was coming from the kitchen where there was the ballast in the light fixture. But that detector is so sensitive that it picked it up that much to where we didn’t even see where the smoke was coming from. When the fire marshal was here, he said that smoke detectors don’t go off in your home until it's too late for you to do anything, even to get yourself or your children out. And my smoke detectors never went off at my house, just my sensors.

    Here at my work, we had somebody film an immediate video upstairs and they were using a smoke machine. But after about three hours, it never set off the smoke detector. So I didn’t disarm it through Frontpoint. But eventually, the smoke set the alarm off and I didn’t know if it was the heat because it has a heat sensor. But by the time I walked down the stairs from upstairs to go out the front door to try to call and cancel it, the fire department was at my front door. That was around 40 seconds and it was great. Overall, I love everything about Frontpoint and I tell everybody about them. I've even gotten several people to sign up. I told them a little bit about everything that has happened to me and how much the system saved me.

    I feel comfortable having a security system at home, especially if we're away from the house, that it's being monitored at all times. I went with Frontpoint because of the affordability. In terms of out-of-pocket cost upfront, it was pretty cheap. In terms of ongoing monthly, it's in line with what I'd expect. The reps have also been easy to talk to. There was an upfront honesty in terms of what product I did or didn't need. Even though originally, I went in thinking I need the cameras, they said, "To be honest, it's not even something you really need. But if you want it, great." They weren't trying to oversell me on something.

    For what I get for what I'm paying, Frontpoint provides quality service. For home security, it has given me everything I need. Another thing I thought was good was that it's not linked to the incoming phone service. It's linked to a cell service. It's not like someone could just cut the power from an outside to disable the security system. The app is also great. The only thing I've had recently was one of the cameras was working great and all of a sudden, I've gotten an error message for the last couple of days, so I have to figure out what's going on, like if that's an internet thing or if that's a Frontpoint thing. Other than that, my wife definitely feels more comfortable at home when I'm not there since we've had the system.

    The initial salesperson from Frontpoint was a little arrogant. It was like he was dealing with a superior product and he was doing me the favor to buy it but it was fine. One of my sensors wasn’t reading right and they had to send a more powerful sensor and that resolved it. Their equipment appears a bit outdated and rustic compared to some of the modern technology but I’m happy with the way it’s working. I have to have that monitor plugged in on their counter. They didn’t have a nice trim line such as one with adhesive that you could put on a wall so it just seemed like it was a dinosaur-type equipment. I'm locked into Frontpoint now, so I'm stuck but I would tell friends to investigate and compare it with SimpliSafe.

    A big part of my decision going with Frontpoint is they provided their own online service. I live in rural Alberta so I am limited to internet connections. I’ve had ADT before and they weren’t able to provide me service due to slow internet. I also did some research online and it said that they’re one of the top-rated ones. I've dealt with Frontpoint people and my interaction with them has been positive. Every time I’ve had issues, I just call them and they’ve seemed quite friendly in helping me.

    Installing Frontpoint's system was simple after they helped me with some issues that I had. When I had ADT, they came and did it all because it was a hardwired system at the time. It was weird not having any written information of how to use the system so that was a little different. No one told me that you could go on and look for the information.

    When I first installed it, I didn’t even know how to set the alarm so I called them and they kinda gave me a quick run through. I knew the basics from having ADT but I didn’t know because they had said something about a trial period if it does set the alarm off, it won’t trigger the emergency responders at first. So I wasn’t sure exactly if I alarmed it. I was confused at first. Nevertheless, the actual system itself is pretty good. I don’t have any problems with it. I like the app feature that if I forget to set it, I could just quickly turn it on. I wasn’t sure I needed that at first, but I like that now because I don’t ever turn it on before I leave. I’ve already referred friends to look into Frontpoint.

    We talked to ADT about upgrading our system. Unfortunately, ADT set up an appointment with us, and they canceled it at the last minute. And then it was hard to get another appointment. It was really bad, so we were getting upset with ADT. We decided to see if there was something out there better than ADT. I went online and I found Frontpoint. I started researching them, and they’ve got pretty good reviews. So we talked to them. They might have been a little bit pushy because as soon as I clicked on ‘Contact us,’ they immediately contacted us. But they were very informative and the installation went pretty smoothly. The one thing that took a little more time was the panel, which we needed to put some anchors on our wall, but other than that, it was just peeling and sticking the various monitoring devices.

    Frontpoint seems to be a good system. if someone’s trying to destroy our system, the message is already out that someone’s breaking in. All the windows now have alarms if someone tries to open them, so we feel a bit more secure. We're not just relying on the glass break monitors. We had several windows with ADT that didn’t have the alarm that when we open it, it detects someone’s breaking in. And that was not enough. I've been really pleased with Frontpoint and my experience has been really good. When I call them and ask them for technical help, they're there for me as well. They're very patient and their rates are good too. I would recommend them.

    I did an online search and Frontpoint was number one with customer service and that was important. Moreover, the price wasn't really out of the range of the other competitors, so I went with them. I went online and then I got a phone call. It was a very comfortable call to go over what my needs were, how many doors and the logistics of it. I made a deal on the phone, gave a credit card and then subsequently I received the hardware in the mail.

    One Saturday my wife and I decided to set the system up. It was very self-explanatory. You open up the box and everything is easily labeled. As my wife read the directions, I installed the system. We had a little difficulty with the doorbell camera but we called a tech and she was very nice and talked us through it. The only issue I have is the adhesive for the motion sensors. Our walls are plaster and it falls off. I have to go out and buy different adhesives to get those to stay on the wall. I guess it's good for regular wallboard, but for plaster walls, it just doesn't stay.

    We were considering other camera options. I don't really want cameras in the house but outside, and I want ones that are attached to motion sensor lights. I didn't see that when I went on the app and looked at other things. So I'm gonna see what's their best buy. But I'll probably call Frontpoint first just to see if they're compatible with the system. We're not there yet because it's a financial commitment. There's a cost to the cameras, so we're not ready. We use the system more for security when we're away for a weekend. We know the house is secure and I'm a lot more comfortable.

    I like the upfront pricing on the Frontpoint equipment and the service where I couldn't get that from ADT. ADT said that they were gonna send out a rep, and could not give me a final price even when I told them exactly what sensors I needed. I had a very straightforward experience with Frontpoint. Everybody is well spoken, and usually are very helpful. I haven't had any issues at all. Also, the installation was simple enough. There were a couple of technical glitches like pre-configured stuff but that was still taken care of on the phone with customer service right away.

    One aspect that was a surprise to me is that the multiple tiers of Frontpoint's pricing model are pretty well documented but it was still not understood right from the beginning that their interactive plan was a trial. So basically upfront, you get a higher functionality and then after 30 days, it goes to a basic plan if you don't specifically sign up for it. And that aspect I must've dismissed on the initial sign up. I went with the basic for months but then I missed their interactive plan enough, and I just called back and I upgraded it. Also, the equipment works for the existing and everything works as is. All of the equipment is compatible because that was part of the trial.

    I also would like there to be a much tighter integration between the web, like the browser version of the control of the units and the app. Because it seems that some of the panel settings are not equally adjusted on the web versus the mobile app. And there are differences in options. I have a three-year commitment now for what I thought was a different function plan. That seems like almost like a bit of a bait-and-switch because there's a little bit of information that was missing up front. Now, it makes me feel like the functionality that I really want for the next three years is at a higher price point than I envisioned before.

    Before I knew that my initial trial was gonna expire, I recommended Frontpoint right away because it seemed like I'm getting the deal at a lower tier but that includes that the interactive plan was a very good value. However, now, that I've upgraded it to a middle tier, I don't think it's any better value than any other security system, and I have no way of knowing if they're any more effective than any of their competitors.

I also liked that I can add different things to the system if I need them.

    I put the system in myself and my experience with that was good. The person I talked to said that I had to move the motion sensor around until I got the right area. The living room and the kitchen are in one huge room and he said I could put it in the corner and start there. Then he worked his way around to see where the best area was coverage-wise. So, I did that and it worked out fine. When I had problems getting in on my phone on their app, I called them back three times and they were glad to talk to me. They helped me and I finally got in.

It wasn’t specifically mentioned that I needed to upgrade a package. I already had what I thought was the largest package they offered. When I ordered everything, the touch control panel was on backorder and they sent me one to use in the meantime. Once I got the touch after a month down the road, I returned the original one back. They ended up charging me money off my credit card. Since then, it’s been like a battle trying to get the refund back. They ended up somehow giving me the refund then taking it back, and then taking it out on my checking account a few weeks ago. And then, I just got the refund now on my credit card, which I don’t understand why they took it out of my checking account. And then they weren’t able to replace it with the same account.

    The installation was a little harder than I thought. Frontpoint says they’re wireless and they are, but you still have to hook it up to something. I had to do it myself, and I have yet to call an electrician to drop some wires. So, I have a couple cameras right now that are uninstalled. Also, the quality of everything is pretty shoddy. I have a pretty good connection at my house, but I could look at my camera images right now and everything seems like it’s being lagged. Still, the reps are all great.

    I was worried about break-ins and looked into getting a home security system. I got one from Frontpoint and their reps and I talked about different options and what I could get. Eventually, I had to switch out something as I found that one of the sensors put on the door wouldn't fit because of the molding around that door. So, I had to get new ones which cost a little more. Even so, Frontpoint was helpful with that. The system is working fine thus far. I like that they don't use a fixed line that a burglar can cut. I think I got a good deal.

    I was moving to a new house and then did some reviews. Frontpoint was the best on reviews and they had the best price point for me at the time. I used a different provider in the past and they are much better. The interactions with their customer service reps have all been good, too. The installation experience was easy and it took me 27 minutes. I had issues with the garage door opener but they were able to call it in and get it taken care of.

    We changed home security system companies as Frontpoint was rated number one in my market. Their rep answered all my questions and told me he would take care of the transfer over the phone. Thereafter, I did the installation of the system and it went very well. I downloaded the instructions via the phone and they were very clear. However, I would like outside cameras, a video doorbell and a remote to lock and unlock the front door but then those weren't offered or I wasn't willing to pay for them. Nevertheless, the cost was fine as Frontpoint charges less than what I was paying the other company.

    I prefer wireless technology because of its ease of use in terms of flexibility versus the hardwired systems of yesteryear. From that standpoint, the Frontpoint system is good. I have two systems - one is in Baltimore and the other is in Wisconsin. The system in Baltimore has been fine, but I have a very bad experience with the system in Wisconsin. It has been nothing but abysmal and completely different than my experiences in Baltimore. So, I’m very disappointed with how things are working for my Wisconsin house, which is important to me because it’s a lake house and it’s our vacation home. We’re not there all the time, so you need temperature control, and monitoring. The system is simply not working. It’s been pathetic.

    To make matters worse, I bought the system and made it quite clear what I was using it for. The folks at Frontpoint sent me a different system because they discontinued the one that they used to use but didn’t bother to tell me. I’ve been through four or five different units that didn’t work. So I’m not really happy. I’ve spent 14 hours on the phone with their customer support trying to get everything figured out over the last five months, and I don’t have time. Also, one feature that's missing and they should implement is their own Z-Wave thermostat device as opposed to relying on third-party providers to connect and pair to it. Their sales and customer support teams have been really good to work with, but I'd have to not recommend Frontpoint at this point.

    We have a remote site where we have been utilizing an actual security guard. Because it's remote, there are occasional vandalism and such, sometimes theft, so we wanted something that could watch it all the time and actually report when somebody is breaking in and do it at a less cost than having somebody posted out there. We use ADT for a warehouse in Irvine, but their costs were a lot higher. On the other hand, Frontpoint seemed like it was easy to install. We wanted something that was simple that we could do ourselves. It came with the correct sensors that we needed. We didn’t need much because it's a shed. It doesn’t have windows. It just had one door and needed a couple of security cameras. We needed something simple and that somebody would monitor at a fairly reasonable price and Frontpoint's was good and the lowest for us.

    When we set the order, I thought I was getting two different cameras and it only listed one, but the reps were willing to add the other. Since I had such a simple system, I didn’t have a bunch of other sensors. They were flexible and met my needs. Setting up the system was pretty easy, but our scenario was a little different. It wasn’t a typical home, and being remote, our internet is a lot more convoluted. We had a half-mile fiber-optic line that I readied. I had a connection to internet so I had a lot more to deal with than a normal person would have to. All you really need is a solid internet connection and Wi-Fi, and after that, the set-up is straightforward.

    The only thing that I spent more time than I wish in setting up was instructions on how to set up some of the cameras for notification. The step-wise approach, and how to do it, and what does it mean when you set it up in one fashion versus another, the information on how to set up the notification was lacking. Also, the instructions though could have been a little better. They weren’t terrible, but they weren’t super descriptive. As long as I followed it and it worked the first time, it was no problem. But when I had problems, I called them up and they were willing to walk through what I needed to do. I appreciated that.

    Our camera has been working really well. Also, I get a text message when our guy showed up in the field, which is great because I know when people are going out there. If I get a text message when they're not, and I know they're not out there, it's a trigger for me to take a look right away. I like that function of the system as well.

    I have ** people within my neighborhood. So, I decided to get a home security system. I did a search and I had some experience with a provider that my father-in-law had been dealing with. But they’ve switched owners five times in 10 years and I didn’t’ wanna deal with that. Instead, I went with Frontpoint. It seemed like their offer was a good value and I really liked that they were super affordable. I also liked the smart interactivity where I can check everything on my phone. Plus, the expandability of the system was something that I liked as well as I can add modules to the smoke detectors as I want to.

    Frontpoint's equipment was easy to install. You just follow instructions on a tablet or a phone and everything came out of the box ready to go, so you just peel and stick. But I needed to do a little bit of tweaking on the motion sensors because of their sensitivity and directionality. Then, I did a bunch of testing during the set up period of setting off the sensors and the sensors were very accurate.

    The only thing is, I’m Canadian and Frontpoint's salespeople were not as up to speed on jurisdictional requirements as they should be because there was a whole permitting process that I had to go through that I did not know of until I’ve actually entirely engaged in acquiring the system. If they’re selling in that jurisdiction, they should have that already in their frontline interactions with the customer. So it was an annoyance. It wouldn’t have deterred me from getting a security system but it’s one of the things that if I'd gone with somebody local or one of these installer-based security, they would have known that and they would have either acquired it for me or advised me of it.

    Another thing is, I did a bunch of my own research in terms of interactivity with other smart systems having doorbell cams, door locks, garage doors, and other sensor modules like smoke, fire, and CO2. And Frontpoint's system is very much set up in an Apple model of being very simple and easy to follow instructions. But I’m an IT guy so I started looking for more depth and expandability about how would I create a subnet and attach repeaters on there so I can control more stuff routed through the central control panel of the Frontpoint system. And that took a little bit more digging than I would have appreciated. There should be a little more variability in terms of whether you want an easy or advanced mode. But that’s not a complaint and that might only apply to me.

    Other than that, my interaction with Frontpoint's reps was fantastic and they were very knowledgeable. I was also super happy with the speed of delivery and the cost for me was totally reasonable compared to other providers that I researched. I like that with the system, if I get a warning that the door is not closed, I get that right away. So the fact that the system relies on cellular networks is really good. There's almost an instantaneous interactivity and it's a good value. All in all, I’d recommend Frontpoint to other people and the first thing I'd tell them is that they'd have to go to the city and get a permit.

    I called Frontpoint in October 2018 to inquire how to cancel my service. The initial customer service rep told me I could not cancel the service until January 2019 when the 3-year contract would end. When I called back in January 2019, I said I wanted to cancel my service. My call was passed off to an Account Manager who informed me the soonest the service could be canceled would be effective at the end of February, with an additional payment due for the month of February because they require a 30-day notice of cancellation.

    When I explained that my intention in calling in October was to learn the procedure for cancellation, the Account Manager said the notes on my file only indicated that I called to inquire about when the contract would end. Even though I had been a loyal customer for 3 years, the Account Manager said there was nothing he could do to cancel the service as of the end of January or waive the monthly fee for February. He said I had earned loyalty credits that could reduce my monthly payments but that they could not be applied for February. It was extremely frustrating to me that I followed the instructions of the customer service rep in October 2018 only to be told in January 2019 that those instructions were not effective in getting the service canceled when I wanted it canceled. I will not be recommending Frontpoint to anyone. The service wasn't that great to begin with.

    Frontpoint is a good option over some of the bigger companies. It is a more do-it-yourself system and it is easy. I purchased a security system to protect my home and I had a good experience in setting up the system. Everything went together quickly and didn’t have too many issues, except for the camera on the outside that I had to have someone come for it. The instructions that came with the system are very well put together. Everything in their package was customizable in terms of how many things we wanted. In terms of the cost in relation to the quality of the system, it was very fairly priced. It is cheaper and so much better than most of the other big companies for which can be done by yourself, instead of having someone come out. Frontpoint's smartphone app was very easy and we use it all the time.

    Frontpoint also has good customer service. Their rep was very friendly and knowledgeable. They get the problems fixed quickly. When I had an issue, they gave me some free months of service for some of the hassle I had. Our sense of security has been good in terms of having a security system. Their rating speaks for themselves. They’re one of the top-rated ones for price and usability. They’re very willing to work with us to set it up and it also doesn’t take too much time if we're willing to set it up ourselves. There are some challenges to setting it up and having to call people sometimes, but not having someone there to set it up can be a little frustrating. But once it got all set up, it works just the same as any other system would.

    Somebody pulled a trailer over into my next door neighbor's yard and it was right next to my house. They were pretty sketchy so I wasn't feeling comfortable with them that close to my house. I looked up for the number one home security system and it was Frontpoint. Their reps were good. They explained everything to me and told me exactly what I'd get, what services I'd have and they let me know about their other products. The installation instructions could be a little clearer, but other than that, installation was easy. So far, I have a motion detector that went bad within a couple of weeks and I still haven't gotten around to troubleshooting it with them and that's the only issue I've had with the system.

    I really wish they have an extra keypad for their smartphone feature because I have a three-story house and there's no staircase connecting the upper floors to the bottom floor. My daughter and her boyfriend live downstairs so any time they have to come in or out, they have to check through the app to see if it's armed or disarmed or whatever they have to do. They have no access to do it from inside the house because it's all in one panel. Overall, Frontpoint has good service but they're overpriced. I agreed to it before I figured out that SimpliSafe, who I was gonna go with originally, is only $15 a month instead of 50 for the exact same service. Now, I'm stuck in a three-year contract.

    Frontpoint is not what I thought it would be. I wish they had the security cameras, something like Comcast's ‘cause those are really nice. But we really wanted the Arlo which lets you know if someone is close to your door. And we were hoping that Frontpoint would be that contender, but it turned out it wasn’t. Also, Frontpoint's price was a little higher than what we’ve been paying. I have found out you have to pay $5 extra to have the app. We’re paying more and we’re getting fewer services. We were told that the app, where it notifies us if somebody opens our door or not, is $5 extra. But the person ended up giving it to us for free. But if we had known that was not free, I didn’t think we would’ve gone with Frontpoint ‘cause that would’ve cost even more than what we were paying with Comcast. But Frontpoint is still awesome. Now, we have it where we get notifications right away if somebody opens the door.

    Every single person I’ve spoken to at Frontpoint has been awesome. They just went out of their way to help me. Even if something went wrong, somebody would rectify the situation, instead of transferring me here and there. We thought somebody was gonna come and install the system, so we were waiting, but it was okay. It was hard to do on the window, but it was okay. Everything is pretty much good. I just wish there was like a live feed. We wanna make sure nobody’s coming in and out of the house, but we’d like to see who’s walking up to the house, too.

If you’re going to sign a contract I would suggest going with one of the more traditional companies as their installation and service is better and you end up paying the same amount for monitoring.

    We get a home security system as a matter of insurance and we had a different security system before. But they’re local over in Spokane and they suit the needs for that locale. Frontpoint, on the other hand, fits the needs we have here, being out in the country and not having a city around us for technical support. The two providers are completely different animals. I’d recommend Frontpoint to anyone though. In fact, I’d even recommend them to Spokane. Every once in a while, you run across a country that is fulfilling their role better than well. Frontpoint was kind of a standard for a service business that is involved in technology. So to whoever is putting this together, kudos. It’s nice to see.

    When we did the installation, the directions online weren’t enough such that we didn’t have to call up and get help over the phone. You try on your own because you don’t wanna be always running to the phone. But I don’t know if we could’ve gotten it done in an afternoon just using the online help. The phone help we got was perfect though, and once we got that help, the issue was resolved within ten minutes. It was made extremely simple and straightforward. Frontpoint's phone support is possibly the best phone support I’ve ever come across.

    I was in the service business for 42 years and I couldn’t ask or expect for more than I got from all the contacts that I’ve had with Frontpoint. It’s just fantastic. They have intelligent people on the phone who know their stuff and they are articulate and thoughtful. They listen to what the question might actually be since a lot of us aren’t professionals from the business. We don’t know the right words and the exact right questions to use. It was nice to be able to stumble through that without feeling like I’m stupid.

    We really like being able to keep track of things or set or undo the alarm system remotely. Especially during windstorms, it’s nice to be able to check the window sensors and see if a tree has banged to the house. Within a couple of weeks though, there was an upgrade in that portal to access it remotely. It was a little annoying because the upgrade seemed pointless. It probably accomplished many things from Frontpoint's point of view but from our point of view, it was kind of a pain. Their phone presence is perfect but they have a ways to go on their web service.

    But for now, the system is perfect. It’s doing everything that we want it to do and no more. It seems seamless and it's not obtrusive. You don’t really have to remember how to use it when you haven’t used it for a while. That’s all I can ask of – that sort of technology that's like an appliance. You just use it. It does everything it’s supposed to do and then you don’t have to sit there, stare at some directions and try to remember what it is you were supposed to do to get it to work.

I talked to their sales guy and he was easy to talk to and super helpful. Once I got the system, I got it mostly installed with no problem but it ran with a couple of hiccups. Then, I called another time for another setup issue that I was having with my smoke detector. We have asked the guy some questions and then realized that we never had a full thorough walkthrough on the control panel. It was a 45-minute call and he walked me through every single process I could do on the control panel, how it works, and helped me through everything. He was super helpful as well.

    The installation was super quick. I got nine different pieces of hardware to put in, but it was all simple and it took no time at all. Also, it took me half hour to get the app installed and everything was done with the exception of a hiccup where I had a problem with one of the pieces of the hardware being mislabeled. Other than that, everything was dead simple. I have the window and door sensors, a couple of motion detectors and smoke detector. I like the features in my system and it is strong. Frontpoint is a high-quality system but I feel like I'm paying more than that I want to. I was hoping the price range would hit more of a $25 but it is more of $45 a month. I'm not entirely happy about it but it is the tradeoff of having an actual sense of security. I can arm and disarm it and check notifications online via my phone and it is super helpful. Overall, I have had positive experiences with Frontpoint until this point and I would recommend the system to people.

    We had a couple of break-ins into our car so I got Frontpoint to kinda monitor my cars. I bought it five months ago and everything in the package was there. I also got to choose what I needed for my 6 big sliding doors. The set up was very simple to do. I went online and set it up. I have installed all the sensors on my door locks in the house but I have not used the alarm system and have not activated it when I leave the house. So, I’m paying $50 a month for nothing. I also have not done the monitoring of the car yet as my internet before was not strong enough. But I just got a new internet provider which might have it fixed now.

    Having the Frontpoint home security system now makes me feel a lot better. I got stereo equipment that's worth about $20,000 in my house and that's one of the main reasons I got the security system. I didn’t have quite a high enough score to get AT&T and when someone told me about Frontpoint, I called them up and found out some stuff about it. I liked the idea and I said it might work. The representatives were fairly good too. As a matter of fact, they tried to walk me through it really well. They showed and told me about it. Then when I had problems, I called them. Every day, I would forget to do something right and they would call and tell me what I need to do. Everybody was really friendly and they made sure that I knew what I was doing with it.

    The installation wasn’t difficult. I just wanted to make sure it was done right and a friend of mine is real good with all that. He came over and showed me how easy it was. We had it up in no time and the system works fine. I even have cats in the house but they don’t set the motion detectors off. So it seems to be working quite well. I'm pretty happy with the service.

    I have a new home and I wanna make sure that I have security at my place. I read some reviews and I thought that Frontpoint had good customer service. I spoke to ADT as well but they were more concerned about selling their stuff to me rather than explaining why I need it. When I spoke to the reps from Frontpoint, they also did it in a smart way of selling the thing to me, but they are more professional than the ADT guys. That's why I went with Frontpoint.

    My experience with Frontpoint was good. But the only thing that I don't like is they don't send any installation guys to install the equipment. I can install the sensors and I have an outside camera that I wanna install, but I'm not able to because I don't know how to do it. This is a new construction home and I don't wanna take a chance. I checked in my neighborhood and there other providers who do send technicians to install. If I knew that before, then I would certainly have not taken Frontpoint's service because I think it's the same across. But so far, I haven't had any issues with the features of the Frontpoint equipment. Also, the cost is competitive.

    I’ve read good reviews about Frontpoint and that they had top-notch customer service. When I was initially shopping around, they were very responsive. Then, they answered all the questions that I had. It was just very helpful. However, we had a few issues with some of the sensors, so we had to call them to help us and walk us through how to properly install them. But other than that, it was fine. It’s a good system and the features are great. I like that there’s an app where we could do everything from our phone remotely without having to go to the panel. We have a camera, an outdoor camera and we are able to view the camera feed from our phone. So, if we’re traveling and we'll be curious, we'll just look at this camera.

Compared to the other companies, Frontpoint's system was rather expensive but it was because I got a camera in addition to the other equipment. Setting up the system was fairly easy. I had to call Frontpoint once about something, but other than that, the instructions were detailed enough. The features that came with the system have worked out really well, too.

Also, my parents had Frontpoint when I was a kid. I had an interaction with a Frontpoint representative and it was super quick and easy. He walked me through the customizations on the package and I was able to pick what I wanted. I got it done within 30 minutes and I've had the system the next day or the day after. My husband was the one that installed it and he didn’t take long. He said that the installation instructions were easy and he only had a few issues trying to connect. But that was just for one split second and it was fine. Everything was self-explanatory. We've still got to install the smoke detector part and put our modem on the wall since we just have it on our table now.

    Everything’s good with the overall functionality and performance of the system as well as the quality. We like it. The smartphone features are convenient too. We like being able to check on the system and turn it on and off whenever we want. I can turn the alarm off before I get into the house or if I'm at a restaurant and forgot to turn it on, then I can turn it on right there. Everything works well.

    This is the worst security company. They lock you in a 3 year contract and when their products don’t work they blame you as a customer. Then they ask you to buy more products and if you want to cancel your contract because they don’t know what they are doing they tell you that you owe the 80% of the initial cost which was discounted which translates in hundreds of dollars. So you are stuck with a unsafe system which puts your life in danger!!! Stay Away!!

    I looked on the internet and did a bunch of searching and Frontpoint seemed to be the highest rated and easy to get along with people. They also were set up cellular, not through internet or any phone lines. The reps were great to work with. It was just like walking into a small-town hardware store and talking to somebody that has been doing it for 20 years and knew where all their stuff was. They had a series of questions that they asked and then they recommended a few things. And then, we talked about the different options that they had. I pretty much put it throughout the house. We live on an acreage. So, I'm still gonna put out everything outside as far as exterior doors and garage doors and all of that. They offered the largest array of possibilities to choose from.

    The equipment seems really well. The devices they sent for the outdoors wouldn't reach because of the distance between buildings, so we ended up going with long-range system on that. But as far as everything inside, the majority of everything is peel and stick, like 3M stuff on the back side. So, I put a stick 'em devices on the back and placed them where I needed to place them. I didn't have anything that didn't work as well as I had hoped and I was done in maybe an hour.

    With the smartphone features, I can arm and disarm everything from my phone. I can see what's open and what's closed. The smartphone app is very user-friendly. Once I forgot to disarm it before we all got home and my stepson walked in the house and it was literally seconds and they were calling me on the phone to find out if there was a home intrusion or somebody just didn't disarm it when they walked in. So, that was impressive. Also, the monthly cost is less than $50 a month. And since it's all cellular and I can check it from anywhere I'm at, arm and disarm, and do different things, I'm really happy with what I got. If you live on an acreage that doesn't have internet and doesn't have a landline phone, or even if you do have all those options, this is the ideal system.

    Frontpoint's reps misled on the cost of their system and what I would get for the amount I paid. It was advertised for $300 and by the time I got the windows covered, it was gonna run over $900. So, now, I’m having to go to a different company to get a system that will work with Frontpoint's system to cover my windows. Also, Frontpoint's reps were very firm on the fact that I couldn’t cancel it without paying for the whole thing, for the contract period. If I had known all of that when I got their system. I wouldn’t have gotten it.

    Also, the quality of the system can be improved. I have sensors on my doors so if someone breaks in through one of them, then I'm gonna be in good shape. However, what's supposed to cover me if someone broke in through a window? Who is going to turn on a motion sensor when they're home asleep? I might have to get up and go to the restroom and the sensor would go off. So, I'm not covered at night. It's ridiculous that they're putting out that I'm covered in this and that. I'm only covered as long as I don't move.

The wiring in the house is more of a cosmetic in and outside the house. We had some times when it was not available because of internet reasons and we couldn't see it sometimes. Also, since it is plugged into an outlet and you put that outside, it seems very unsecured and somebody can just unplug it and take it. In addition to that, we have a hard time with one of the window things. It keeps coming unglued and it comes off, so we keep having to attach it.

    We are living in a new neighborhood and I like the safety of having a home security system. We googled the top security systems and Frontpoint is one of the top. Oddly enough, we never saw any commercials for Frontpoint, so we were kinda curious. I called numerous others as well and got quotes but Frontpoint has the best customer service which is I’m all about. Plus, their price is cheaper, too. The gentleman we spoke to was amazing. He answered all of our questions. He was not pushy at all and he ended up giving us a couple of days to think it over and talk with my husband before confirming anything. He ended honoring a deal because it was a deal that was ending.

    I got everything for all my windows and it was easy to put on. Although, the volume of the actual unit that is plugged in is excruciatingly loud. It is an alarm system but sometimes, when a door or window is opening, I do not necessarily need to wake up every single person in the house so, we ended up turning the alarm off. I wish that there is a volume down or up so that I can still hear when a window or something is being opened, but not excruciating to my ears.

    I feel that the equipment is secure and the quality is great. But, we have had a couple of issues with the front camera one time that the volume would go out sometimes. I called Frontpoint and have them redo the system with me over the phone. But, I had to call back a few minutes later because it did not work out as I think the guy I talked to was new. Other than that, we are really happy with Frontpoint and we have had it for quite a few months now. Moreover, the app on our phone is crystal clear.

    It has been very good with Frontpoint's reps so far but it's a little expensive on the sensors. I’m already paying $20 a sensor and then $65 for a 20-foot-radius glass shattered sensors. So, I looked online and I was pricing it out and it just seems a little steep. But I like the system. I make sure when my wife is at home that she’s safe and that’s all that counts. Everything is going well. It has held up so far and hopefully, they keep monitoring my house. I will pass this on along to friends and family. It’s a very good system.

    My previous security company kept raising their prices even though I had a guaranteed contract, and I was irritated. Frontpoint seemed like a good system and their price was reasonable. All my questions were answered and everything was shipped on time. Installing the system was straightforward and easy and its features work for me. The quality seems good and everything seems to work. I downloaded the smartphone app and it works well too.

    I moved to a different neighborhood and I've been wanting the security system, but I just haven't had time to get one. Frontpoint knew what they were doing and they seemed more accurate on the information. I like that everything was done off of the satellite and not through the Internet. However, the communication with the customers was not great and the sales representatives were very quick to get off the phone. Maybe they wanna make more sales, so they are very rushy. They are rushing off the phone a lot and I don't really like that.

    The rep wouldn't tell me a lot about his products. I was more or less asking him what they have and he was telling me, "Yeah, yeah, we have that." I asked if they had an indoor camera and he said that they have that. I also asked what else they had and he said, "Well, indoor camera does this and does that."I asked if they had a sensor and he said, "Yeah, we have a sensor." I asked, "What about a window sensor?" He said, "Yeah, we have that." I asked, "How about door sensors?" He said, "Yeah, we have that." I didn't know that Frontpoint had an outdoor doorbell camera. That was what I was really wanting, but he didn't even tell me Frontpoint had that. I wouldn't have gotten the indoor camera if I knew they had the outdoor doorbell camera because I never use my indoor camera at all.

    I had difficulties installing the system. I'm very tech savvy and I know how to put a lot of stuff together. My family always asks me to hook up the electronic stuff, so I was thinking the installation was gonna be easy, but it wasn't easy at all. I downloaded the app on my phone and when I did the step-by-step process, it wouldn't let me do it, so I had to call customer service. They were the ones who walked me through the installation. I knew it was past the gentleman's time and he was wanting to leave, which I understood. He said it was late his time and past his time to leave. He kept bringing that up and he wanted to go, so the process was rushed.

    The Frontpoint system is great and I love it, however, the devices are not well-built. I had to send back my camera and my keypad. My sensors are not working. It kept saying certain doors are open when they are not, they are closed. Right now, the sensors are saying, "Back door open, laundy room door open." My husband and I get up and we look because we think someone's coming in our house, but there is nobody and the sensors are going off. I feel safe, but I'm not happy about the product and the customer service.

    I sent Frontpoint an initial inquiry and within three minutes, my phone was ringing and they were on the phone with me. They sent the equipment off to me in a box and it was up to me to put it together and figure out where I was gonna put everything. But their reps walked me through the whole installation and they were nice. The guy took all the time I needed to help me place these little doohickeys on the door and the windows. Then, every time I opened the door to let the dogs out, it was making this high-pitched ding. It drove my dogs crazy. So, I called right away and they walked me right through how to turn that chime off.

    Also, they sent me emails and they called me. I got all kinds of stuff on my refrigerator with their phone numbers if I ever need them. When the power went out a couple of times, it flashed on my phone. It’s all good and I like it. I’ve got them on my phone and they’re on the ball. It’s a pretty smooth and really well-run organization, according to my experience. If anyone asks, I would give them Frontpoint's number and tell them that Frontpoint is easy to work with and they will walk you through whatever questions or whatever situation you have. Call that phone number and they’ll take care of you.

    Frontpoint was the first to get back to me and they were very competitively priced. It was also wonderful dealing with their reps. We installed the system ourselves and it was very easy. I tend to be a little not so savvy with those things but they were very helpful. They were on the phone with me installing it, step by step, and they were super. The system is also excellent in terms of the cost versus the quality. Plus there's an app on my phone that I can look at everyday to see what's going on in the house. If there's anything, it always comes right to my phone, which is perfect. The property is a second home for us so we're not up there that often.

    I read about Frontpoint being a good system and it was being recommended so I checked into it. It is very similar to the other systems I had except that it's wireless. I installed it and it had been an easy experience. It did not take me more than a couple of hours. We’ve been working with it and it works fine. I like that we got a motion sensor and we also have a glass breakage sensor. It is a simple system to use and I like it. Since having Frontpoint, we have a sense of security that if anything happens or someone breaks in, at least someone will be notified hopefully in time. We trust that it will work and I have already recommended it to someone else.

    I looked things up on the web and Frontpoint was about the best company. The installation instructions and the quality of the equipment are both okay. But the installation experience wasn't the best. I had a little problem with it not reading from one of my doors and they kept wanting me to go back and forth, put it in a different spot and send them pictures of how I put it up. Then I came to find out in the end that they just needed to send me a different type of thing to go on the door. It is one that picks up a better signal. When you're paying their price, the equipment should be a little more simple to install. Still, it worked out.

    The other thing was that we put the system on test mode for the first day and even though it was on test mode the next day, they sent the police out and I got a bill. They promptly took care of it but I had to go through quite a bit. I had to pay the bill then they gave me an address to send the receipt to but they never received it. So I kept calling and they kept putting me with two or three different people. Everybody was telling me something different. The customer service was sloppy and bad. Finally, somebody told me they don't even have an address. They do everything through the email and they didn't know who I sent it to.

    My thing with the alarm and my past experience was that they would always send the police out then you keep getting a bill. But other than that first time, Frontpoint hasn't sent the police out to me for no reason. Whenever I don't get to the system in time, they've called me and the system is working so it's okay. I also like the feature where I can tell whoever goes and turns it on and off. It would take a picture and I can see them. That aside, the only feature I really use is using my cellphone to turn it on or off. I don't have to be there to do that and that feature really helped. Although I had a little problem at the beginning, my experience with Frontpoint has been good so far and I would recommend it.

    When we had a break-in at work, I did some research on the internet and liked the way Frontpoint looked, the things they offered, and the price they offered. Their sales and customer service were helpful. I got on the phone with them and they were able to talk me through the installation which was relatively easy. I'm satisfied with my system's features. It would be nice to have this thing that watches my front door when somebody rings the doorbell and to be able to turn on the lights before I get in the door, but both are not necessary. The smartphone features are very helpful because sometimes I leave and forget to turn on the alarm, and so I can go on my phone and turn it on. I'd love to pay less, but I'm okay with the price I'm paying.

    I was leaving my home unsecured while I had moved out of the area. I did some research and read some reviews about home security companies. And with all the reviews I read, the other ones were pretty bad, and Frontpoint seemed to be good at the time. Their reps were also good. I felt safe in what I was purchasing. They were able to answer all my questions, and they were very helpful in setting up my system.

    The system came in a box and it was a self set-up. It took me three hours to do the installation from start to finish. The hardest part was hooking up the cameras to my Wi-Fi. I looked at the instructions and it was a little hard to understand at first, especially for the camera and the hook up for the Wi-Fi. But I was able to figure it out by going on my computer and signing it on my Wi-Fi, and disconnecting my Wi-Fi, and reconnecting my Wi-Fi. I was able to connect that way.

    The smart features are easily accessible on my phone. It's really easy to arm and disarm my house on my phone. And I'm able to look at the camera feeds on my phone and take the history of when somebody had gone in my house and arm and not de-armed it. So far, the system is very easy to operate. It is very affordable as well. I feel that my house is now secured, and I'm not really worried about leaving it down in Arizona unsecured.

    We had just moved in to a new home so we decided to purchase a home security system. Prior to using Frontpoint, we had ADT. The two systems are pretty much the same except that ADT would not set up a security system for someone who’s renting a home. We were looking for a system that costs a little less than what we were paying per month. But while most places are anywhere around $30, Frontpoint is at $44 a month. Frontpoint does the extra nudge.

    The Frontpoint salesperson, Kevin, was really good. He promised us two more months free but that didn’t go through. The customer service person who I spoke to afterwards was very delightful and he explained everything. He said he would offer me the two months, but I would have to wait and try to find the information on the first one. Unfortunately, I couldn’t. I didn’t realize that I had deleted the email back to Kevin. But as far as Frontpoint's representatives and everything, they’ve been fine and very helpful.

    We did the installation of our system ourselves and it wasn’t difficult at all. We got the basics and they are very easy to use. They do what we need for them to do at this point, and working with the equipment everyday is very easily done. I had one that didn’t wanna stay up, but I think it was because the weather had been so crazy. My husband is the type of person who would use the app, and although I don’t see well, I use the system more so right now.
