    Our house got broken into so we got a home security system. One of my friends had Frontpoint so we went with them. The cost of their service in relation to its quality is fine. I’m happy with our system and I would recommend Frontpoint.

    I looked at the highly recommended security companies online and Frontpoint came up as one. It was the first I called and the rep was friendly, knowledgeable about the product and offered me a good deal for the products we were buying. It was a different set-up and we thought about it since we don’t make decisions based off a conversation. The rep gave me time to discuss it with the wife and she was in agreement. He told me that as long as I got back with him that evening, he could hold the deal. That worked because otherwise, I wouldn’t have gone with them. I don’t like the pressure-sale tactic and a lot of sales people do that. I am technologically challenged and the installation wasn’t as easy as I hoped. They said it was self-explanatory but it wasn’t. Once I contacted somebody and we started going through the steps, it started working. It made more sense and everything was good, but it didn’t go very well to begin with.

    One night, the alarm started going off and we went out there and turned it off. Then Frontpoint called us and asked if there was a fire. We said no and that we were not sure why it was going off. We reset it and then it happened three times that same night. If it happened on a night where I made a fire in the fireplace, I can understand maybe something happening, but it didn’t. They said that they run tests on the system automatically with their computer system every month. I’m hoping that meant there was nothing faulty and that they would come out and say they were having a problem with one of my sensors. However, I haven’t gotten a phone call. It would be nice to have a follow-up, to know that everything is okay and there’s little reason to be concerned but overall, we’re happy.

    We just bought a home, and we wanna keep ourselves and our house safe. My neighbor started working on Frontpoint. The system's very easy to integrate it with the cell phone app. But there are a lot of companies right now that are starting to work their way to lower the cost or price. There are companies like Ring that is doing very similar features like the app, sensors everywhere, and it's 10.99 in a month. I'm paying Frontpoint 43 a month and it's quadrupled price. Although I love Frontpoint, it is just a little overpriced. Nevertheless, the rep was great. The installation was straightforward. However, the system got mixed up. My neighbor came over and helped me set up some of the sensors and monitors. After that, it was pretty simple. The service and the app are both amazing. The features of the system are fine as well.

    But there was one situation that was frustrating. It was our first time using the app. One time, I accidentally hit the button where Frontpoint had to call me and verify if there was a break-in or if the alarm was active. I apologized and told them I might have accidentally pushed the wrong button. The rep made sure they won't dispatch the police to my house. But a police officer still came by and seemed very frustrated with me and told me that I shouldn’t be doing these false alarm claims. I told the police officer that I told Frontier not to send somebody and yet they did. And then I got a letter from the sheriff department saying that was my first warning. Even so, I don't have any problems with the Frontpoint system.

    Frontpoint is affordable and I like what I have with them. I picked and chose the package that I thought I needed. Also, I like the smartphone features because I travel a lot and I can see whenever family members go to my house. However, Frontpoint’s alarm beeps just every three seconds. If you have already left and closed the door, you don’t hear the second whether there was a beep. So, I had friends who stayed over and opened the door to go, get to their car and didn’t even realized that they set off the alarm. Nevertheless, I had a very positive interaction with their reps and I was happy that the equipment was self-install. I like doing that kind of stuff and I thought that was fun. It took me an hour and it was very easy. The quality of the system is good and I have no complaints. Since I had it, I feel good about things and I'm not worried.

    Frontpoint was rated one of the top class for a security system and they had great customer service. There was not a lot of upselling and I just looked at what I needed. Then, when I got started with them, it was an easy process. The installation process was easy too. I had some issues though with the glass break sensor and when I called the support, they were able to fix it within a minute. Also, I have not had a chance yet to install the doorbell camera as there is some wiring on our end that we have to fix. I have the standard package that has the windows and door alarms. I also wanted an outside camera which they were able to provide.

    I love the features offered in my system. The camera is nice and the programmable alerts that I can do are helpful. I also use the smartphone features and it functions really good. It is super easy and I am a big fan of it. However, it seems that a lot of their competitors are offering packages without a contract so it could be a hang-up that people are gonna see and that I would recommend to Frontpoint. Nevertheless, my experience with them has been great.

All the instructions were easy and I didn’t have problems putting anything together. Everything went together good and the system has been working good. I like the app too.

    I had a townhome built from bottom-up. I was a first time home buyer so I wanted to make sure I had security. I decided to go with them due to their reviews and how Consumer Reports gave them a higher rating last year. Overall for Frontpoint, it works off the cellular, cell towers as well, so it’s more consistent. Everything has been really great with their customer service department and their product works well so far.

    I did the installation of the system myself and it almost took me an hour, so it wasn’t that bad. I had to read the directions and get used to it, but it was detailed enough. I’m a computer and electronic savvy, so it wasn’t that hard for me. Having a smartphone made the installation a lot easier. I think anybody who didn’t have a smartphone, they would have a problem. Frontpoint's app helps you set everything up. But I also called them and reached out to them about one thing, and they were very helpful and handled it within five minutes.

    The features offered are great, especially being able to monitor on your cellphone because a lot of other companies charge a lot more to do so. The working of the cellular in case the Wi-Fi went down in the house was a big plus. Being able to just do it from your smartphone made it a big plus as well. The only thing I wanted to do is get the touchscreen one for the main system box, but the one that I have now is fine already because I can do most of it on my smartphone anyways. I’ve been noticing that I’ve been using my phone more often, as they suggested. So to spend that extra money on a touchscreen wasn’t really needed. Since the installation of the Frontpoint system, I’m more knowledgeable about what’s going on in the house and I know where everything is.

    I went on the internet and Frontpoint was rated high. Their representatives were pleasant too. The only drawback was they didn't mention stuff. We bought the system simply because we were leaving our house for three or four months at a time travelling and decided we wanted to be secure. We live in a very safe place. Our main concern was being gone for sometimes and our house was being unattended to. Because we bought it for that, I would have liked to have smoke detection for fire alert. I don’t know if by the time the alarm goes off, somebody calls you and you call the fire department. I don't know whether the house would probably be burned down or not. And I’ve had a problem with the security units that you put up on the wall. I’ve had it fall off the wall twice. The rest of the installation experience went nicely though. It took 20 minutes to do it. I ended up calling about something and I got a lady and she was very helpful.

    I’m starting to wonder, seeing all those doorbell ring things on TV, if that would be something good to have, or at least for the people to know that there are cameras and video. There have been times in here when people maybe are watching the house for me or watching the dog. It’d be nice to know if people are scooping through your stuff. I would almost like that.

    The other security system that we had was junk and they were terrible to deal with. It was impossible. I needed a new security alarm. I was hoping for a little bit better than what I had but really, I was expecting to talk to a human and what I got is a pretty good service. I’m pretty impressed with Frontpoint. They are leaps and bounds better with everything. Frontpoint's customer service blows them out of the water. You can get somebody on the phone and they help you while they’re on the phone. And they don’t get off the phone until you’re happy with it. We were going back sending emails while we were on the phone, trying to figure stuff out and taking pictures. They even do some kind of diagnostic while you’re there. They were really nice too. All the five people that I spoke with over there were the same.

    When you sign up, Frontpoint would send you the stuff. You hook up your stuff then you check everything through your app to make sure everything is working. If you have a problem, you hit a button on your phone and it brings you to talk to somebody over there. If there’s something wrong, they will walk you through how to get it right. I had a situation where they couldn't figure out if it was right or wrong but they figured out that it was an issue with the original part that they sent me. It wasn’t strong enough so they sent me a stronger version. They sent a mail and I got it two days later. I set it up and I was good to go. My experience so far is good. The system is sending me emails if something is going wrong or if something went offline. How I got it set up though is that if something goes down, I still have something else to protect it.

    I was in the process of rehabilitating a property and as I start to put stuff into the house, I figured I needed to secure the property. I have Protect America on another property and they’re among the top leaders on security systems, but Frontpoint offered me a 60-day trial period. Also, I didn’t have to have internet service at the house in order to secure it. That was definitely a plus to me. In addition, in case a property is sold, the system is transferable if the buyer wants to keep it. Working with their sales have been very engaging and informative. I also worked with customer service when I had a breach I didn’t get an email or a phone call right away. I did reach out to customer service wanting to know why. They said that it was set up like that. So, they went back and did some checking and tweaks and then that resolved the issue. It is a good service and I would recommend them.

    I just moved out of the city into a suburban area and thought that Frontpoint would be a good choice for a security system. I felt like it was the better company at the auctions I looked up online. Installing the system took less than 10 minutes and the system's quality as well as its features are great. I like being able to use the app when I’m outside the home.

    The only thing that wasn’t great is the contract because it’s expensive. I was gonna get the camera system with it, but I’m gonna stay with that because it is a little pricey. After moving here, I realized that the neighborhood is a comfortable neighborhood. I wanted to get a smaller package, something not as pricey, but it was already outside of my contract range, so I had a mistake with that. There should be a better variety of packaging. Other than that, I definitely feel safe with the system. I had a couple of incidents where I accidentally tripped the alarm by whether a company opening the door or forgetting to disarm it, and I like that it reacts fast.

    I have been a Frontpoint Customer for over a year after comparing them to Simplisafe and ADT because I could own the equipment and only signed a 1 year service contract. My contract which was up in November 2017, and I called to see if I could get a better rate on my service as I am now out of contract. I have been trying for more than two weeks to reach a customer service rep. I waited on hold for over 20 minutes, finally reached someone in Customer Service, and asked if he could help me. He put me on hold for another 20 minutes without helping me or getting back with me. I waited a few weeks, then called back, this time, choosing sales for new customers. I got through, but said she couldn't help me because I was an existing customer, and transferred me to Customer Service.

    I have been hold for Customer Service now for 25 minutes. I left a call back number. No call back! Tech support (not customer service) had been great, and I could reach them originally to set up my system and when I had a faulty sensor, however alarm our has gone off twice, and we were home to turn it off. We didn't get a call or notification to see why it had gone off or notifying us. Stay away from Frontpoint! Once they have you as a customer, and are charging your card monthly, they seem to be in no hurry to help you with your plan or service. This has been my experience. I have no idea how they are getting 5 star ratings from others.

    I've had Frontpoint for almost a year. I opted for the more expensive touch screen panel to control my home alarm. The Battery expanded after a few months of use. They sent me their lower panel as a replacement because the touch panel was discontinued by the manufacturer. The new panel they sent me didn't work, so I continued to use the touch panel. They sent me the new Hub control system, that was the touch panel replacement, which is NOT a touch panel, but rather a hub that's controlled by a number pad. The number pad provided had a faulty wire in it, so it didn't work either. I'm still using the touchpad with the expanded battery. I call them, they send me another replacement pad.

    While this is all happening, they charge me $428 for not returning the touchpad. I call them again, they tell me why I got charged and to send back all the hardware that didn't work. I send them the hardware, they receive it, 6 days later still no refund. I called AGAIN, they say the refund was not approved, and that it now has been approved. 9 days after the last call and still no refund.

    I call them AGAIN the day after Christmas, and they say the approval did not happen on the last call like the last rep said it was. I get transferred to an account manager who tells me the refund had been denied because it was requested in the wrong amount, by them! He says he could now expedite the refund. I tried to cancel my contract with them and he tells me that he can do that, but I am responsible for paying the entire term of the contract. UNREAL!!! Please learn from my mistake and go with another, more reputable alarm company. Horrible hardware, horrible customer service, horrible contract terms.

    When I moved into the house that I was in, it already had a home security system but it wasn’t active. I looked at ADT and the prices were okay, but they offered the ability to do stuff on the phone for a higher price. Frontpoint answered any question I had pretty quickly. I was under the impression that I was gonna get one of those LCD monitors, but it came with a regular punch-in code one. But the features are all pretty helpful and everything's good. The reps told me that my front door lock system would work with their system, but they were under the impression that I had something that was the same model. Mine might have been like a generation off. But it's one of those things like you just have to buy into their whole thing if you want to be fully secured through their thing.

    The equipment works great. I get a text message when there's a power outage. Otherwise I would have no idea that the power's out. For instance, I had somebody living with me for a month or two and one time the power went out, and I was like, "Hey, don’t open the fridge." It's pretty neat. There were a few times where I would open the door and forget that the system is on. But then Frontpoint would call and do that whole routine. If it was 25% cheaper than it is to do add-ons, I would snatch it up in a heartbeat. It's not that I don’t have the money to buy all the stuff that I would want, but it's just buying it all at once. I have a lock system which is not synched with my Frontpoint system but putting that altogether and then switching everything over to theirs is just the expensive part.

    I was gonna get a new home and I was using Frontpoint to be able to secure the building during the time we were doing construction and then have something to offer the individual who would be renting the premises afterwards. I chose Frontpoint after doing research. It seemed as though I would be able to place all of the components and activate the system with the support that was available without having to schedule any installation. I received the box that contained all of the components, went through the house, installed the components and using my cellphone, was able to ensure that the components were communicating with the hub. Then I made a phone call to Frontpoint to have them activate and verify that the system was functioning properly. For the most part, the installation was fairly straightforward.

    The instructions were fairly simple and the videos were really valuable. Essentially, once you've watched the video, you would have an idea of what you need to do. It was a cookbook type of going from A to B, C, D, and then let the system come online. However, there are some sensors that would require a little bit more finesse than others, depending on the type of door you have. I had to drill one into the door because the door was inset and it would not allow for any kind of adhesive attachment. But I’m a woodworker and there was no problem with that. I’ve also had a number of communications with Frontpoint and those have always been very positive and helpful.

    The features are fairly good for the value that you get for the package. One of the concerns that I had initially when I purchased the package was about the touchscreen display that was being offered at the time. This touchscreen display was really what I was looking for and it sold me on the Frontpoint system because it worked pretty much like an iPad. Unfortunately, with some of the construction we had there, the pad failed to communicate with the sensors at one point and went completely dead.

    When I spoke to Frontpoint, they did an evaluation but they said there was nothing that they could do. Unfortunately, they didn’t make that touchscreen display anymore. They were having some problems with it based on the battery that was being installed and some of them would overheat and melt. I was a little bit dismayed when they told me that I would have to set it back in and then get a non-touchscreen hub that would be utilized with a keypad.

    So what I did was I told them I would communicate with them later. I unplugged the unit and it completely drained for 24 hours. I re-plugged with an electrical spike arrester with a filter and as soon as I did that, it worked flawlessly. It hasn’t come back up with some other problems with me ever since either. So that was a bit of a diagnostic snafu. With the construction that was being done in the home, we may have had some kind of electrical charge which created a little burn that messed with it at first.

    I don’t know how Frontpoint would have known any better from a diagnostic standpoint. However, if I had gone to the non-touchscreen hub, they would have created a little bit of an issue with me because that’s not exactly the system that I wanted. If they had swapped it with a keypad and altered the subscription, I'd probably not do it. That’s how strongly I feel about the touchscreen display. On the other hand, I think that the system is hardening sufficiently to different types of electromagnetic interference that can be utilized from fusion. In other words, there is some kind of electric field on all of the other systems that you can pull into not sending an alarm. You basically send a carrier signal that tells the system that it didn’t activate and you open the door.

    I also like the security of knowing that with Frontpoint, you can be in bed and if you don't remember if you locked the front door, you can pick up your cellphone and do it. That’s a little bit more secure. If you have work and you have a kid coming home, you also get a signal that the door was opened and closed. You can even see if somebody kept the window open in the basement. So the system is really well-functioning. It’s ergonomically superior than other systems I’ve seen. It’s intuitive and also expandable. I also like the idea that if any of the sensors go bad, Frontpoint would replace them.

    I've always had a security system and initially, I looked up reviews online. Frontpoint's customer service stood out. There were no long wait times and they were helpful. I encountered a couple of small issues during the installation but Frontpoint was quick to answer the phone and they helped me through those. That aside, the installation went really easily. I use the smartphone features but I'd like a little bit more customization, like being able to set which sensors are working in the different arming modes. That would be awesome.

    We had an issue with ADT where an alarm would trigger after 24 hours of being away from the house, and that was never resolved. Plus they seemingly had nonstop price increases. We switched to Frontpoint and we've had no issues so far. My wife did everything as far as the setup and she had a good experience. We get notifications if we forget to turn the alarm, which is really nice to have. We might have been able to set that up with ADT, though we shouldn’t be the ones that have to dig for it. Also, the cost is fine relative to what we were paying with ADT. I'd recommend Frontpoint for sure.

    It’s good to have a security system. It brings your insurance down and when I surfed the web and compared companies, I found Frontpoint to be reasonable, cost-wise, and doable. The rep that I dealt with explained what had to happen, how it would work, when things would arrive, how to install things and set it all up for me. He was very good. The installation was fairly easy to do and people follow up too. When my credit card ran out, I had lots of notices that that was gonna happen. The quality of the equipment is fine as well. We had a power outage this year and it still ran.

    We wanted a security system as a preventative measure and when I did my research, Frontpoint came up as a good option. It's been about a year and a half now and it's been good thus far. The equipment is a little expensive so I don’t like that. But the installation was fairly easy although there is one thing that I wish was a little better. We've been having a running issue with our panel saying it has low battery. We had called about it and we were on the phone for quite some time with customer service. But they couldn't figure out what it is and the panel still does it. That's the only thing with the equipment that has not gone smoothly. But other than that, we've been really happy with it.

    On the other hand, the system has gone off but we have never gotten a call verifying that everything was okay. So that's a little concerning. Usually, it was like someone had put in the wrong code or it was delayed so it hasn’t gone off for a true emergency. But before I had signed up for the text alert, we had gotten email. That aside, our interactions with the representatives have all been positive. Our experience hasn’t been seamless overall but it's been good and I would recommend Frontpoint.

    We just moved into a new home and we needed to make sure that our belongings are protected. I shopped around and looked at what could be the best. Frontpoint was the cheaper and more reliable option to choose from. With the help of somebody who was over the line, I did the installation of the system myself. The instructions were clear and very precise. In the beginning, however, it was difficult because one of my sensors was not working. I had to talk to a technician, who was fantastic, and the issue was solved.

    Other than that, for what I'm paying, I'm expecting something like a video system. My neighbor, who has a home security system that is a competitor of Frontpoint is offering the video option for the same price that I am paying. It's like my friend can actually monitor from either work or through his phone on what is happening with the system. Also, an additional sensor to the three sensors that I received is good because you also need to make sure the garage entrance is safe. But overall, I'm happy with the service. It's great to know that if something happens, the people at Frontpoint would call and ask if everything is fine before calling the police.

    So I bought into the coolness of the wireless technology and the strong marketing behind Frontpoint. I will say their technology is good. It's not 'quite' as easy as they say to install, but after some frustration I got it figured out with the help of their phone technicians. Where things went bad is when I moved. And I knew I might be moving when I signed the contract. The sales guy 'assured' me that getting out of my contract wouldn't be a problem and I'd just need to explain the situation to the client support team. My bad for signing the contract anyway without this spelled out. I should know better. The system is portable and I could have taken it with me and set it up in my new location.

    However, there was already a built in system system and I had no need of Frontpoint's any longer. It was a very rational request, however the client support agent wouldn't budge at all - barely even acknowledged my plight. Just spouted the nearly $800 I was going to have to pay to get out of my contract. I even asked if they could listen to the recording of the sales call so we could all be on the same page on exactly what was said. He said they don't keep recordings past 6 months. Now, why would a company that sells 3-year contracts not keep recordings that long?? Seems to be they are re-enforcing if not actually encouraging the sales team behavior. That did it for me. It was worth the money to get away from a company that I couldn't trust and you shouldn't either.

    I was looking for an alarm system for our small company so I looked online. I personally have a Protect America on my own. But then, the price of Frontpoint, for the company, was cheaper than Protect America so I went that way. The sales reps were all really friendly. I had a little trouble with the order though. I said that it was a roll-up door, but they sent me the sensor for an overhead door. I was also expecting a little bit more steady glue for the sensor on the door. Other than those, everything is good.

    We installed everything first, and then we followed the instruction. It said to call the support line once everything was installed. We did that and then everything was smooth. It's working fine. The camera view and the on and off button of the system are good. The thing that I like about the system is I was able to give every technician their own code to get in, so I know exactly when and who is coming in with their own code without getting any trouble. It's also good to have a security system that would allow me to see inside my office if the alarm comes on.

But I had a power outage at home the other day and I thought they would call later in the day saying there was a power outage and maybe the alarm went off because of it. I would have appreciated a phone call, but I received an email. Maybe they understood it was an outage and not someone breaking in. I also have their app and I use it every day. It works great.

The app also has that, “Well, if this stuff didn’t work, go back and do it again,” which worked out really well.

All of the features were really good. There were a couple things like if you want to up it or wanted more things, you could. Also, the smartphone features are amazing. When I'm in a different state and somebody pushed my doorbell, I could talk to that person, which was the bomb. Plus, we had somebody mowing out lawn when we were away, so I could actually look out my front door, and I would be like, “Oh, he’s mowing the grass today.”

    Overall, the system is functional and everything is working out pretty good. When I’m already at the house I usually just arm and disarm it from my phone instead of doing things from the actual box. Before, I double check everything.

We didn’t get any window breakage sensors or any window opening sensors because those areas would be covered by the camera and motion sensors.

    The home security system that I had previously was too expensive. One of my friends’ son who was a sales rep up in Northern Virginia, DC area recommended Frontpoint. I did my research online and the cost was good so I thought I’d give it a try. The sales interaction we had was good, but I had a problem with the installation because the system was wireless to some extent and I didn’t have the expertise to drill holes and run wires through walls. I didn’t quite consider that I had to install it myself.

    It was advertised as a box that would come in the mail and I just set it up but I had to have some knowledge of what to do. And during sales, it wasn’t clearly identified that I had to have the installation done by a professional. The system is not something that you just put into the wall and walk away. You have to mount it. I had my friend do it. I didn’t know if there’s a company nearby or a third party that does the installation for the company. The installation wasn’t difficult but it wasn’t clear that I had to run wires myself because if I want it in a place where there was no outlet, I had to extend the cabling, which I had to do. I also wanted to test my motion detector to make sure it was working so I called customer service and they told me that if the light was blinking, then it was activated.

    Overall, I’m satisfied with what I have. The WiFi part of it where I used to scroll on the display screen about the weather was part of the 30-day trial but that should have been included with today’s technology. There’s no need to pay extra for that. Also, the alarm beeps like it’s supposed to but I haven’t had an opportunity to see what their response time is if there was a real live call. They should have some type of drill to see how fast the response is. Frontpoint should also do a routine service check to make sure everything is working properly before having to find out at the wrong time. I kept the old installation of my old system, so I have two of them as far as alerting me with door to windows or motion detection. Nonetheless, the Frontpoint system has enhanced my security level.

Their smartphone feature was good as well. Even my mom knows how to do it without understanding English. With Frontpoint, I feel safe when I go out especially long-term. If I have a long trip, I feel my home is protected. I can also sleep a little bit better because I know that the system is protecting me.

    I saw a lot of positive reviews online about Frontpoint so I went with that and my experience was easy and simple. I got the package to set up the devices and I had no trouble doing that and the interaction I had with their reps was professional and courteous. I have the automatic payments come out of my credit card so it's pretty easy every month and I don't have to worry about it.

    The system is doing a good job and being a homeowner, I feel secure with having it. The system has gone off and the response was good. It was something where I feel comfortable about Frontpoint and I never second-guessed looking at any other companies. Overall, it's a good experience and I've already recommended Frontpoint to other people.

    I had a home security system but my ex-husband had it under his name. The alarm company was gonna charge us for an account transfer fee and there was a whole bunch of red tape. The divorce was over and the alarm company couldn't come to terms with it so I Yelped who was a good alarm company. I just needed something really basic and Frontpoint's system covered our needs. Plus, a friend of mine has Frontpoint. The interactions with their reps were all positive. I installed the system and it was okay. The instructions were easy too.

    Frontpoint's features are great. I was surprised though because the motion detectors had to be so low to detect motion. I'm used to the ones that are tucked away in a corner but next to the ceiling. These needed to be at eye level and I wasn’t so impressed with that. I didn't really want these things in the middle of my walls. Other than that, everything else was good. The cost was very reasonable too. Plus, when one of the motion detectors came without batteries, they overnighted batteries to me. They were really good and took ownership of the situation.

    The house I'm living in has been broken into before so I got a security system. I got Frontpoint based on good reviews and I also had a good experience. I installed it myself and everything was easy, straightforward and quick. I just followed their simple direction. However, I was a little disappointed with the app, because one thing I wanna do is to be able to arm the system for no entry delay on system away, and you can't do that. So I actually have a rep go in and reset my stay settings to where it pretty much acts like in away setting, but that way I don't have any entry delay. And then, the only other problem I have with them is when my power goes out, the system doesn't wanna arm or disarm. I still need to call about it. But other than that, everything else was fine.

    Everything went smoothly when I signed up with Frontpoint. The alarm system was easy to put up and I like the features offered in our system. I like that every door and window that I have it on beeps, so I know when people are coming and going. It's a good alarm system. But I wish the alarm was a little louder to hear it upstairs as we can barely hear it when it goes off. One night, my little brother opened the door and he didn't know I set the alarm. We didn't hear it upstairs, so we got a phone call. Other than that, I like that I can leave the door open and set it. I also like the smartphone features because I can see what is open and not, and when a person left the house and what time, because I have to check my son to see how long he took the dog out for a walk. I would recommend Frontpoint.

    Frontpoint was new at the time, and they had good rates and a good package that covered our whole home. We’ve had our share of false alarms and a few mishaps where we got locked out. Their customer service was good at helping us figure things out and solving a couple of crazy problems that we caused ourselves. When I called, I always got to talk to somebody.

    The installation turned out a lot easier than I expected. I should have read the directions a little sooner but once I got the service department online to make the system go, it was easier than taking everything down just to keep running from floor to floor and sensor to sensor to make sure that everything was hooked up correctly. It would be nice to have an indoor or outdoor camera included without having to pay quite a bit of extra for them. Other than that, the motion sensors and window, door sensors and everything was easy to place and we never had problems with any of them.

    The residence we had with the Frontpoint system was just sold and we left the sensors and everything behind. It was nice to know when the realtors and prospective buyers were going in and out because we could see it on our phone every time somebody disarmed or rearmed. We had the camera where we could watch who was coming in and who was leaving. It has been four months that we were not living there and it was nice to have an alarm system so we didn’t have to worry about somebody going in and trashing things up.

    The monthly fee of Frontpoint is higher than most compared to systems that are out there and now that they are more successful, I would have expected it to come down. Instead, it’s going up. It’s not a good idea for marketing on their part. I had it on a vacation home and bought it to my current home and then, we were in between homes for eight months when we were renovating so, we kept Frontpoint there. I put a new system in where I’m at now because it was cheaper to bring it in and let Frontpoint go. If things were different, I would have kept Frontpoint because when I had it, I was very satisfied with it but they out-priced themselves.

My Husband and I both left work to drive home to see for ourselves what was going on. If I had had any inkling that this was the way they were going to monitor and notify me of a breach, I NEVER would have purchased. Pretty sure nothing in my contract had anything about a RECORDING notifying us, instead of an actual human being. Customer service had nothing but stupid and condescending excuses, like how a recording, and not a live person is acceptable. Suffice it to say, we are cancelling our service.

    We needed some kind of security on a location that we don't live at for peace of mind. I did a little bit of online internet research for different places. I saw positive reviews online on Frontpoint and the price point was good, so that was what I picked. There are two levels you can have. One is without the app and one is with the app. I've got it without the app, which basically if something happens, they can call you. But it would be nice with my service to know what particular sensor tripped off the alarm.

    Other than that, the experience is pretty good. It's monitored online, so when one of the sensors goes off, they call. And they're very good about calling and asking if I would like for the police to come out or not. It has worked for all the times that we've had issues. Also, our peace of mind and sense of security are a lot better. Without any security alarm, you have no idea what could be happening out there. Now, at least, I know if something's moving in the house or if a door is opening.

I heard about Frontpoint's price being good and when I saw them in the phone book, wanted to try them.

From what I learned from my cousin, I've been doing well with my system. I know the doors, such as the front door, and the windows are covered. She comes every day and she helps me out, so I know what to do. I know that I have to turn the system off in the morning when I get up. To be sure, I'd open the door. I feel safer having Frontpoint in the house. I'm satisfied with what I have and that's what I tell people who call and ask if I have a security system and if I want one.

Also, I didn't really have to pay a lot of money for a lot of equipment, and their online ratings were also very good.

    Signing up with Frontpoint was straightforward. I was already sold before I had even made the call, so I didn't really need to be coached up on their end. I already made the decision going in. We had a slight issue with what they recommended as far as the equipment. I had to purchase a few additional sensors because I didn't feel like what they recommended was adequate for my needs. But they were able to satisfy those additional needs without much issue. Our system's features were good. The mobile app works fine.

When I moved, the lady walked me through the process of how to disconnect the system from the old house and to bring it to the new house. The installation wasn’t difficult but when I called the customer service because the sensors required sticky tape so you can glue it to the windows or the doors, he wanted to charge me a good amount of money for it. With the exception of that guy that I talked to, everybody else has been nice.

    At the old house, I felt secure with the system. I would set it up and then when I would forget, the alarm would go off right away and I would get the call if I didn’t disarm it within the few seconds that they give you. The system is easy to set up but it is very outdated. SimpliSafe’s system is so much nicer, and the panel is slimmer and smaller.

    Finding that most of the other leading alarm system providers are priced in a similar range, it just came down to ease of use and I decided on getting Frontpoint.

    I was able to do the installation myself for the most part, and then I called in and someone assisted me in putting together the different parts of the alarm system. And then it was seamless once I had someone on the line. Though, even without them, it would have been just fine. The instructions that came with the equipment were fine, but I preferred to do it over the phone.

    My experience with their customer service team, however, has been a hit or miss. Some were really good, thorough and exceptional at their jobs, while others were probably just starting and weren’t really good at the whole customer service experience. I had an issue where I had to speak to a supervisor because one individual who I spoke to wasn’t too clear on the information he provided me. So, it was more about understanding the product they're selling, but nothing more than that. Everyone was certainly very pleasant over the phone.

    Frontpoint also has an incredibly useful app which I use everyday. I disarm the system through it. It prompts me when a door or window is left open for ample period of time. The app is fantastic. It's been the most beneficial part of the alarm aside from keeping the home safe. And it is a good alarm system, but I think the pricing scheme could be done better. The components that come with it, the door alarms, window break sensors, etc, are comparable to everyone else in the market and they can be priced a little bit better - except that Frontpoint offers video camcorder service that’s of high quality. Overall, the experience has been good. The system has worked well.

    As far as the capabilities of the system, everything seems to be working fine. It gives you an opportunity to automate the entire location. But I wish the cameras were a little more affordable. They were a little bit expensive, and they definitely rely on and react to your network and the capabilities of your network which is not always very clear.

I was receiving these alarms, and I had to open it up and connect the wire that got loose. Everything was set up good. The alarm went off twice and Frontpoint called. One time, my wife forgot to set the system and she left the house really quick. The cops came 10 minutes after she gave them the wrong name or password, but it was all good. They have done great. I got the fire monitor up so if anything happens while we’re gone, it's good to know as far as the house catching on fire or anything.

    I customized my Frontpoint package as much as I could. I got the glass break sensors but I haven't been able to test those out. I was told that with a light clap, it’d ring. I wish there was a way to be able to test those with the alarm systems for sure like if they would work as far as distance and all that goes from wherever a window is. That'd be nice. Also, Frontpoint doesn't do 24-7 as far as cameras go. That may not a big concern to me, but it may be for somebody else.

I like that it shows you pretty much right away the activity that is going on and if you've got stuff opened or closed.

Between the two of us, we got it sorted out. It was easy. The representatives there are amazing as well. From 1 to 10, they’re 10. In the summer, before I was spending too much time in that space, I didn’t run the air conditioner while I wasn’t there and it gets pretty warm in that building. It got so hot that the glue melted off of one of the glass break sensors. It fell and when it hit the floor, it actually triggered the alarm as if the glass had been broken. The company called me and said that the glass break sensor had gone off. They asked whether I was there and what I wanted them to do. I told them to call Willows PD and have them roll a car. It was a weird way to test it but it worked and I thought that was pretty cool.

    What Frontpoint is offering is the security aspect but they also have the ability to have the pendant. We had Life Alert for my mom several years ago when she was still alive and the customer service is very similar. The pricing is very similar as well and it seemed reasonable.

    I switched to Frontpoint from Vector as I was looking for a system that would cost less and give me the same level of security for the most part. I got a really basic system and it doesn’t have all the bells and whistles that I had but I'm making do without those. Opening my garage door is important to me so I have the keyless entry, and I use that because it only came with one panel.

    Setting the system up was really easy, though I was a little concerned if I still had the level of protection that I had with my previously hardwired system. With Frontpoint, everything was connected, so by putting in the glass shatter devices and putting them at my door, I felt that it wasn’t adequate for what I need. But I haven't encountered any problem, so I kept the service. I get the email notifications if I haven't set my alarm. But when the alarm has gone off I don’t get a call. With Vector, if I had a false alarm and it went off, they would still check with me to make sure everything was okay. So now I would really like to have notification when I could be under distress.

    I called Frontpoint when I had some problems with the equipment and picking up the sensors, and their reps were very knowledgeable. They took me through some diagnostic things to try to troubleshoot the issue. When we were not able to troubleshoot the issue, they sent a replacement device, and gave me the package to send the old device back. I really liked the level of customer service and how they quickly responded to my issue, and it was resolved very quickly. So, I really enjoyed that experience.

    I was gonna cancel my service because I didn’t think it was the level of security that I was comfortable with. But I spoke to one of the sales associates and that's how I ended up with that keyless device. So, my husband and I wouldn't have to keep running up and down the stairs if we needed to enter our code into the system or to turn it on. They were very helpful and gave me that device at a discounted price for me to try for an introductory period. I really like their sales and support area because that's what was missing with my previous provider and ultimately led me to no longer do business with that company. But as for Frontpoint, I have recommended them to a friend, so we now have the same system and she has had a positive experience as well.

    My family and I sold our house in November 2018 and before it sold, I spoke to a customer service representative at Frontpoint and told him that we wanted to cancel our service as we were moving out of our house and not sure when we would be moving into our next house. “Ryan” at Frontpoint tried to get me to put the account on hold until we reached our next house. I told him that we were pretty sure that we would be using Frontpoint again, but didn’t want to have our account on hold during that time - we would just begin a new account when we got into our next house. The conversation was left at that - the closing of our account. In early December, Frontpoint charged me for their services again...THREE TIMES. Not only did they charge me for services I had canceled, they triple-charged me! The company caught the error and refunded me 2 charges, but not the third.

    I called and spoke with a nice representative on a Saturday in early December and she said she understood my frustration, but was unable to help me get my money back that day. She asked me to call back again on Monday and a representative would be happy to help me with our issue. On Monday, I called back and (after a 22-minute wait) got an “account specialist” (Justin?) who did not help at all. He told me that “Ryan” had put my alarm on hold and was scheduled to call me back next week. I told the “specialist” that wasn’t the case at all. I asked how it made sense for me to do that and continue paying for an alarm company after I moved out of the property. This “specialist” kept coming back to saying that “Ryan” stated it differently in his notes.

    I asked for a supervisor and after another 5-minute hold, was told there was no supervisor available at that time, but he would call me back. The call ended when I finally hung up on the “specialist” as he continued to defend his associate’s (Ryan’s) act of not canceling my account. For a company that seems to pride itself on customer service, I found this incredibly surprising. All my interaction with FrontPoint customer service - aside from “Ryan” and “Justin” had been very positive up until I spoke with them. It is true that one bad experience with a CS representative can sour you on an entire company. Needless to say, Frontpoint will never be on any property that my family calls home again. And I’m still waiting for that callback from a supervisor...

    My previous home security providers' hardware and equipment were a lot better. I have a lot of difficulties with Frontpoint's, so I'm not necessarily satisfied with the actual master keypad and how it works. It was self-install kit, so I had to install all of it on my own. I had to call a few times to get assistance with the installation process. Then sometimes, it would go offline and lose power which is alarming. I've called for assistance and they told me to unplug and replug it. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

    I had a lot of issues and was never able to properly connect my motion sensor, so basically I don't have one inside my home. I also have a security camera that I wasn't able to connect to the system. They tried to assist me as best as they could, however I never had a technician or anyone physically come out to my residence. But other than that, their customer service was great. Any time that the alarm had gone off, they were very quick to call in.

    Nevertheless, Frontpoint should consider upgrading the type of software and hardware they're utilizing to better compete with other organizations or companies, 'cause I'm looking to switch because of that. And the pricing difference from others is not that much more than Frontpoint's. I wouldn't mind paying a few extra bucks if I had another hardware.

    I liked the cameras on Frontpoint's system as well as the fact that their system is self-installed and so I decided to get a system from them. Installing it was simple to do and if I needed help, I could call and a technician would help me through it. My internet froze when I was doing the installation and the guy I talked to was patient and took me through it step-by-step. What I really like about the system that I have is that if I'm gone and my daughter is in my house with the kids, I could go on the camera, talk to them and check in to make sure everything is okay. I could also look back on my camera if I'm not at home. I also liked the part where Frontpoint upgraded the system and it lets me know if a door is opened or closed even though I'm not there.

    We wanted a wireless system this time so that we could secure the detached garage that we had. I called and talked to all the major players that had wireless systems that fitted our needs and Frontpoint had the best answers to my questions. Their reps knew more technical specifications than the other people I talked to. I’m an ex-engineer, so I like hearing how things work and they were a lot better at answering those kind of questions for me. The three people that I dealt with were exceptional in their understanding. They really understood the system well. It took me about 20 minutes to install a dozen sensors and get it up and running. It was really easy. I knew what I needed in the system although I’m thinking about adding to it. I see a couple of things that might cause some holes that I didn’t anticipate before.

    So far, the quality of the equipment has been great. I’ve had it for a few months now and I haven’t had any failed sensors nor false readings. Every time something happens, they’re quick to get in touch with me and call the police and whatever else needs to be done. They’ve done everything that they advertised. The smartphone feature was one of the reasons I purchased Frontpoint so that when my wife leaves the house, I can arm it remotely. Everything works great and the detached garage is secured now.

    I can't have a security system hardwired in so I like that with Frontpoint I don't have to go through the walls. Anytime I've talked to their reps, it has also been really good. Everybody's nice and the system was really easy to put in. It took me 30 minutes and was very self-explanatory. I love the features of the system. I really enjoy how the smartphone feature is set up and how easy it is. The quality of the equipment is also very good. It's definitely worth the price. We're more secured since having the system. One of my neighbors have asked me about it because she doesn't like coming home by herself. So I told her to get a system like this because they will tell you when a door or a windows open and what time. That's usually how I set it. I would set it like stay at home or stay away. And then, whenever I'm inside, the only time I set it off is before I leave. Otherwise, it's all done from my phone.

    I researched a bit about home security system then I looked at the pricing. I saw what Frontpoint was offering and it was all positive for them. I reached out to them through the chat feature on their website then I scheduled a call with them to go over the few things that I needed. They provided me some consultation in terms of giving the house customizations, the configuration that I had, and what will work best. They sent me some extra sensors so that once I was comfortable with the installation, I know how to use it and I would have some extra if I need to use it. Their rep also walked me through the set up and once the set up was done, we did a couple of tests to make sure that the alarm we set would come on and they are getting the signal.

    Then, we had an accident when I was out of the house and the alarm tripped. I got a phone call right away and everything was taken care of. Moreover, I have the app that I can use. There are a few buttons to work through and I was able to set up my own codes. Also, I know that I have the smartphone features available where I can sync off two systems together. However, I have Frontpoint on both of my house locations and I suggest they have some way of dealing with multiple properties. I had to go through a bit of a set up there. I spoke to a person who told me that it is not straightforward and a few things had to done. I am happy though with the cost of the system in relation to its quality. I know I have it there and it gives me the insurance.

    I decided to get a home security system for the safety of my house and my family. I found Frontpoint through a website. I looked them up and felt like it was the easiest system to install. I called them up and their customer service is great. If there were any issues, they tried to fix the issue right away and if there was a device that they sent that was bad, they tried to replace that as soon as possible. And the instructions are very simplified. The installation was very basic. There is a department that guided me through the activation of the sensors on each door or each window. They could see it on their end and I could see it on my end. It was really easy to install and very simple. I really like the doorbell camera system, where I can access it anywhere I'm at.

    Our son has Frontpoint and he recommended we use it. He installed it for us. The first time the alarm went off, I wasn’t there fast enough to disarm it and the person I spoke to at that time was fairly abrupt. The alarm went off this morning because I went outside and my husband forgot to disarm it. I just closed the app on my computer and I was looking online on my app on my phone. Cameras seem pretty good. However, since they're plugged in, if anybody’s gonna come in, they could just unplug them from outside. That’s not a real good feature. I didn’t get the wireless cameras because we have issues with the wireless in our house but if I ever moved, I would get them. Cost-wise, it was comparable to what was out there and I’m not displeased with it. Since having the system, I feel much more comfortable being by myself when my husband is away. I would recommend it.

    Some people got robbed around my neighborhood. I looked on a site and it showed that Frontpoint was highly rated. I called the security company and I really liked the person that I talked to. I had help from a friend when I installed the system. I'm pretty satisfied with Frontpoint. When we open the door, it makes a sound. The only hiccup is we sometimes notice that when we don’t open the door, it makes a sound too and we don’t understand why.

    Other than that, Frontpoint is great and it's easy to use. It's cheaper too. I love the customer service. It's been great. I called them a couple of times and everybody was very patient. I also like how Frontpoint told me that I cannot get rid of the camera and that I cannot destroy the system. If somebody destroys it, the police would still come. But I would love to see what's outside my house with cameras. I was told that was gonna be more money. I'm not quite ready for it yet, but eventually, I'd like to have that. On the whole, Frontpoint gives us complete peace of mind if we go on a vacation or if we go to town.

    Frontpoint's alarm system is easy to install and it's a one-time purchase. It's exactly ours and we can move house to house. We just needed to monitor doors, making sure it's still locked and the alarm code goes on at night. When I was applying to get the system and get the account going, I talked to their reps and our interactions had been good. But I've noticed a couple of issues with the alarm system. When I set the alarm, it normally beeps twice but sometimes it will beep six times. There are also times where there is an open door then the alarm system will tell me which door it is, but I don’t understand why it sometimes randomly beeps. In the future, if they can come up with something else that sets it on a schedule where it always arms and disarms at a certain time period. They have a different package that we can do that from our phone, but we opted out of that. Other than that, Frontpoint's price is fair and with it, my wife sleeps a lot better.

    I previously lived in a condominium on a high-rise that didn't really require a home security service. But I moved to a house in an area that has a little bit more crime, so I decided to get one. Frontpoint had the best reviews online and they had no installation fees, so I went with them. I feel pretty good about Frontpoint. Thankfully, I hadn't had any issues where somebody has broken in but I feel confident that when I arm it and I'm not home, I'd be alerted if something were to happen.

    The guy that helped me out when I started with them was very honest and gave me his opinions on other security systems out there. He also told me why Frontpoint was superior and was really informative. I asked him about the cameras and he was giving me information about that and gave me my best options. Then, when I installed the equipment, it took under an hour to do. The features of the system are good as well but the control pad can't be professionally mounted on your own and it's not flushed with the wall. You have to plug that keypad in and hang it yourself with the cord dangling below it and it's not aesthetically pleasing as some of the other keypads I've seen.

    Aside from that, there's a downside about not having a Frontpoint technician come out to look at the actual house. You're going based off on verbal conversations and sometimes, it's hard to explain how the windows and rooms are situated in order to best apply a window breaking sensor or a motion sensor. To an extent, if you have a pretty relatively small house, it's easy to do. But if there's a floor plan complication, it's a little bit harder to explain where to put things. There's some disconnect between that versus somebody coming out and saying where your glass sensor breaker would be best put or that you're gonna need two or three to cover the amount of windows and space that you have. In my case, it seemed like there is some inconsistency, as far as how many were needed or where they needed to be placed in the house to be the most effective.

But, I was still a little disappointed that Frontpoint doesn't offer more integration with Google Home or Amazon’s features and other smart thermostats. That would be one drawback.

    I've had a home security system for 15 years, several different companies, and I was tired of paying somebody else to basically rent their equipment that wasn't reliably working. With Frontpoint, we own our own equipment and just pay for the monitoring. We can also add on or modify, do whatever we wanna do, and it's still cheaper than paying somebody else to rent old equipment. It's all mobile monitoring, so if somebody cuts our phone lines, we don't have to worry about the monitoring being ineffective. Frontpoint's customer service has always been excellent and the reps are extremely knowledgeable. They don't oversell you. They sell you exactly what you want, and you don't feel pressured.

    My seven-year-old son helped me install the system. It was that easy. We have an older home, and the system still worked on all of our old windows. When we got new windows, all we did was pop them off and pop them on the new ones, and it was no big deal. I was able to customize my package to the number of doors, and the number of fire alarms and window sensors that I wanted. Our house has an extreme number of exterior doors, so we were able to not have to pay extra to have the doors monitored. We were able to get everything we wanted. We added on an additional monitor since we got the original package. It was shipped, it arrived, and we installed it within five minutes.

    The quality of the security equipment is excellent and the cost is less than any of the big name brands that people think of off the top of their hat. We're still paying half of what we used to pay for extra monitoring and more equipment. We have three children, and I have a husband who works odd hours as a police officer. He's the ultimate skeptic, and he's very impressed with the Frontpoint system. We can monitor externally and we can unlock the door for my in-laws if they need to come over. The mobile monitoring is fantastic, up to date and it works. The GPS is also accurate. I can reach the end of the street and it'll alert me that I forgot to lock the house. It's great.

    We originally had a home security system when we bought the house and it sort of became obsolete. I could see that technology was advancing pretty rapidly and I did some research on Consumer Reports. Frontpoint was very highly rated and it seemed like it was the time to make the plunge. Their customer service has been great. We had some issues on bringing some sensors online and taking them off and they’ve been very helpful.

    One of the problems that I had was if I look at the window sensors and get certain windows that aren’t square. It sort of goes back to the fit in certain windows. There are two halves and there has to be a relationship between the two halves. It could be really hard to get a good relationship between the two halves. One of them went off so I would call that a false positive. I was a little hesitant to set the system, leave, and have it go off. Also, they replaced one of my motions sensors and it was a much newer model. I get the sense that they are upgrading their technology rapidly which leaves me with two years from now, I could have two-year-old technology. That bothers me a little bit. At some point, they need to say if there are any upgrades. Other than that, they let me customize the whole thing which is one thing I like about it.

    I find Frontpoint appealing as you're able to install it yourself and I thought that it was a better setup than the other company I was considering. Although I heard their service is lousy, I didn't mind trying to save some money if I could do the installation myself. It seemed like it fit some of the things I was looking for. The sales experience was fine and so was the service. The rep I worked with was helpful.

    While the installation of the system worked out, I was frustrated that the alarm itself is quiet, and it only goes off inside the house. There's no easy way to add an outside horn to it that lets all the neighbors know that somebody's breaking in your house or you're being robbed. I thought I might be able to buy another one and talk to it wirelessly since everything is wireless, but that isn't the case. They said I had to upgrade to the more expensive panel and to do that, I needed the more expensive service, and I'm already unhappy with the $45 a month that I pay.

    Still, when the alarm sets off, Frontpoint gets the notification and they call but it's just not that loud. It's an issue since my neighbors and I try to keep eyes on each other's houses if it looks like some commotion is going on. The cops take about 10 minutes for them to come over here. Other than that, Frontpoint gave me access to the mobile app, and I thought that was nice. What I didn't know is that it was only a temporary thing, a month later, it was cut off. They said that was an upgrade so it's like a little thing you have to pay more for. Plenty of irritation again. Still, Frontpoint's service is overall good.

ADT wanted to put window alarms on but the Frontpoint guy told me that I wouldn't need all that. They did me right and that saved me a ton of money. I also considered what I read on the internet. Plus Frontpoint's pricing was right. I got the doorbell camera, two glass breakage sensors and two motion detectors, and the installation was easy. It did not take long at all. I had to patch holes but other than that, I had the system up in about two hours.

    One thing that frustrates though is when we come down to the control panel in the morning. We turn the alarm system off but my phone tells me it’s still armed. But when we go outside, it’s fine. It doesn't sound the alarm. Does that mean the two aren’t communicating? But overall, the experience has been good so far.

Even though ADT could have came in and upgraded it, I wanted to try something new. I looked for the best system that's a little bit modern than ADT and Frontpoint gave me the best deal.

    The customer service rep that I spoke with put the package together. He counted out the windows and was very knowledgeable. We went through everything and were on the phone for about 45 minutes. As he was talking to me, I was looking online at the products that they had. I was gonna buy anyway, but he narrowed things down to give me what I needed versus what I wanted. It was easy to customize for the small type of space that I needed versus if I was doing a larger home with upstairs and downstairs. I didn’t need a lot of the gadgets they need for what I needed to secure.

    Installing the system was a piece of cake. The only thing I had to call them was just to do some activation and check some of the connectors. But everything worked like they said it would. It's a good system especially for the price point. One time, my contractor was working there and unplugged the system by accident. An alarm went off and Frontpoint called immediately.

The directions were very simple. It was just a matter of putting the things on and testing with them. Their security system is much better than my previous one. It’s simpler, easier to operate, and it’s worked better. I just press one button and the whole thing activates. I press one button and put it in a code and it’s off. If I have a guest staying at the house, Frontpoint can temporarily give them a password and that worked very well. I had somebody stay at the house to take care of the dog a few months ago.

    However, the garage is detached in the backyard and the transmitters that they sent me didn’t work. It’s supposed to work within 100 feet and they had to send me a heavier transmitter. I sent back the old ones and they sent me new ones which were more powerful because it was a distance away. Other than that, I'm very happy with the system. Our neighbors were broken into and I feel more secure with the system in place when we leave.

    The customer service reps from Frontpoint were consultative in learning what my needs and concerns were at the moment and they tried to hammer that down as opposed to selling me a product. They were also helpful if I had any questions. We've been going through renovations and I haven’t been using it much. I'd like to have that unit right by my door but I don’t have an outlet anywhere near there. So right now, I'm leaving it on the floor but it seems functional and straightforward. However, there was miscommunication with regards to the pricing. What I was told and what was on the agreement was $45 all-in and I'm being charged $61. I even confirmed if it was in Canadian since they're a US company and she said yes. I called to compare to other guys to the rest of the market and other guys are paying $30. For better service, I would pay for $50 worth.

    I had a different security system prior to Frontpoint and I wanted to upgrade my system to a touchpad and a cellular connection rather than a hardwired Wi-Fi connection. The provider that I had was going to charge me several hundred dollars to upgrade my system. But Frontpoint afforded me the opportunity to do it at a very reasonable cost. I checked references and referred them with ratings and saw that Frontpoint is well-rated. The system is quite good too and we're pleased with it.

    However, there's one issue though that I wish we could’ve avoided. I purchased the keychain remote hoping that we would be able to activate and deactivate the system from our driveway. But we have metal garage door openers. And even in the driveway, just outside the door with the door down, it wouldn’t work. We have to use the phone app in order to activate and deactivate the system. We’ve gotten used to it though. Other than that, when I've questions from time to time, I make a phone call and I’ve been able to get answers on the spot. There’s never been a delay or anything I perceived to be a confusing or incorrect answer. I recommend Frontpoint wholeheartedly.

After I reviewed the product I didn't like how they wanted me to set it up with motion sensors instead of window and door sensors. I also decided I wanted cameras instead after reviewing how they wanted their system installed. So after some debate I called Frontpoint to cancel. I called on a Sunday evening 30 days into my contract. No one answered, closed. So I called Monday but still no rep available due to high call volume. Finally received a call back on Tuesday and guess what, no return due to it being 30 days past even though my initial call was within 30 days.

    Frontpoint was a decent product until I moved. I couldn't remove the sensors because they were stuck on too tight. Frontpoint would not replace the sensors and expect you to keep paying for a service you can no longer use. You can repurchase the sensors, but at $32.99/ea it's not worth it. Frontpoint is alright, but I definitely recommend not doing the contract. They will not stand behind you if you have to move or have any issues.

Every interaction I had with their reps was not complicated and they made it easy. The installation took me a little while, but it was not that bad. I use the smartphone features to arm and disarm, check into the house and look in the video. I had to call in one time over the panel, but everything’s been good right now.

    I have multiple homes in multiple states so I needed to be able to track what's going on. We've always had a security system, so I just changed from one to another. I had to set Frontpoint's system into the phone but their reps were able to walk me through it very easily. Any time I had a question, they answered it. Any time I had a problem, they fixed it. They were all professional and have done a very good job. However, sometimes, the lights disconnect if they're on the edge or perimeter of where the signal sends. But I just have to have the right relays set up in the walls so it's a give and take learn system. All the their web features work and being mobile all the time is perfect for my situation. I've been able to let people in and out of my home, since mostly I'm not there. And when we're home, we're armed, so we're pretty secured no matter what. Overall, it's been a good experience.

    I always had a home security system. I was tired about the other company that I was with and switched to Frontpoint. It's been great so far. Every time I call, they answer my questions and everybody is very nice. I did the installation myself and it worked well. I just called customer service and they walked me through their whole process. It wasn't difficult and everything was very specific with the instructions. The installation was not even 15 minutes.

    I wished there were more features though. I thought the carbon monoxide was included but it turned out it wasn't. But for what I'm paying, the features are okay. Like with the company that I had before, I had the option to control the system from my cellphone and I was able to use my old pad. The equipment has been working fine and has been very responsive. With my previous company, it's been like nothing happened. Every time my alarm will go off, it seemed like I have questioned so many times they weren't even monitoring my system. And with Frontpoint, they immediately tried to call me and they called the police and even came to my house once. Even though it was a false alarm, the police showed up right away.

    Somebody forced the window open and reached inside my house. So, I went ahead and bought Frontpoint's system on the recommendation of a friend. I called them, let them know I was interested, and I was connected to a sales associate who pitched me a contract in exchange for a discount on their devices. And I went with the package that I thought made the most sense at the time. Then Frontpoint mailed me a box and walked me through the install via the phone. So the installation was easy and the system was up in a couple of minutes. The instructions also made sense to me and weren't too hard.

    I felt pretty good about how Frontpoint's reps handled my situation. They were pretty understanding and they have given me flexibility because at the time, I was in active duty in the military and I moved around a lot. So, they let me pause my subscription and canceled it at one point without paying any fees. Other than that, I like the features included in my package. I'm a renter and some of the features are best suited for homeowners because you can do a home automation. But all I'm really interested in is making sure that my home is safe from break-ins.

    The smartphone features of the Frontpoint system is critical as well because I often forget to set the alarm, or I want to set or disarm it remotely. So, that was part of the reason I went with Frontpoint. And initially, I felt much more secure since I got the system. Then it kinda became normal. Qualitatively, the system works well most of the time for me. I've seen the price go up since I first subscribed but it's less than $60 a month, so it's not a major expense for me. I travel sometimes and it's just hard to put a price on knowing that your home is safe.

    Frontpoint was rated the highest in customer support and that was important for us. Also, knowing that we'd be able to get their system set up, we ended up going with them. It took us about three calls to get it all set up. We talked to the same person through the whole process and that was nice. I also had to call to sort out the insurance deduction and they sent over that form almost immediately.

    The installation was self-service with them. We just used the app to do it and got the system set up in no more than 30 minutes. From start to finish, it was very easy. We had an issue, though, on figuring out why it wasn't initially connected, but it got solved on the first phone call. It turned out that it was because it went through a testing period.

    We have one of Frontpoint's higher packages and it definitely seemed that, at minimum, it matched what the other sites and services were offering at the same price. But, it would've been nice if Frontpoint kinda separated the need for the webcam from the other stuff because we don't use any of the video. Other than that, I have confidence in the product. The app is also extremely useful which I use more than the actual interface on the security system. We feel great that we have Frontpoint installed and we have it every night. We live in a good neighborhood, but it's still nice to have the reassurance of any bumps in the night that nothing's there. I have recommended them to my friends.

    I got a home security system for the house, and between Frontpoint and a different company, Frontpoint had better options. Every person I talked to was extremely helpful. Installing was extremely easy as well.
