    We've had Guardian Protection Services since 9 years ago and we haven't had any issues. I would be happy if I could get all their features but I can't because we couldn't get an internet provider that has strong wifi where we live. Still, they did a great job for installation both the first and second time when we moved to the new house. If I've ever had a question, they handled it.

    I was building my home when Guardian Protection Services had a special going on, where the SkyBell, which is like a glass break that has a couple of sensors, was included. So, I got their services, and the sales rep, as well as the gentleman who came up to do the installation were good. The installer was very professional, and he knew his job.

    The system has great features. However, sometimes, the apps aren’t as proficient as I would like it to be. For instance, if somebody rings the doorbell and I go to the app on the phone to view the SkyBell, a lot of time, it doesn’t load. Though it might be an internet issue. Other than that, everything else works great. I get an alert through text message if someone’s at the door. If I have to turn the system off before I open the door, it lets me know if something’s wrong. The system works, and I’m satisfied with the overall service. From what I’ve experienced so far, they have a stellar customer service, and I’m pretty happy with them.

    I had ADT before and I switched over to Guardian since it was available at the time of my house purchase.They sent somebody to the house to take a look at what was needed, and they provided me a quote. It was very straightforward and simple. The sales rep explained what was offered in the package and provided details on what the sensors were. The installer came in, replaced what he needed to replaced, explained the commands and the codes, finalized the setup and it was done the way it should be. The system is doing what it’s supposed to do and I’m happy with it. Having an alarm definitely makes me feel safer than not having one.

    We learned about Guardian through our builder. We had a very good experience with them and they were informative, but since everything was happening when we were moving in we really don't have a full understanding of the system, so we're trying to learn it on our own. That's why today, I'm like, "Why is our day saying it's open when it is not?" So far, the equipment is very nice, and the smartphone feature is very interesting and convenient. I'm here by myself a lot, so having it is very good. I'm very pleased.

    The system that we purchased from Guardian Protection Services was a part of a brand new residence that was being built. I met their representative at the model home and he was pretty nice. The guy on site who set up our system was very pleasant as well, and he really connected with my husband. When the installer came out to install the system, it was already hardwired in. He just had to key in some codes and have us set up the app via online.

    However, we also have ADT home security system but not in this home. And from our initial assessment, ADT is way better. I like the way the alarm talks to let you know if the system is armed or disarmed. Guardian’s system doesn't do that. And when I left yesterday, I typed in my code and hit away but my Guardian did not arm.

    The only way I knew it didn't arm was because I didn't get the text message that said it was. So, I went into the phone app to arm it. However, had I not checked or looked for that text message, it would have been disarmed. Now, ADT does not have the text message feature that Guardian has. And I like that about Guardian. But it's way more important to make sure our home is armed than to get a text message. I will call them about this when I have the time. I haven’t had Guardian long enough to give it a fair assessment, but for now, if someone asks about Guardian, I'd say get ADT.

    Whenever you put a security system, you sleep better at night. So, we got Guardian Protection’s services, and we had a good experience. We bought a new home and they did some of our wiring for our internet, as well. We got the upgraded version of their system, so we have their app on our phones, and we use that a bit to arm and disarm the system distantly using our smartphones. So, when we leave home, we don’t have to turn the alarm on using the touchpad before we leave. We like that function. Their system has neat features, and is easy to use. They have a good service, and we’d use it again.

    My installation experience with Guardian Protection was very good. The installer was a nice fellow and was very friendly. And he put the job in very good. I got motion sensors in the hallway and the room. I also got the doors covered. However, I had this trouble when I got a phone call from some man. He told me I had a weak battery or a loose connection on the cable. I couldn't say anything to him 'cause it was a recording. Again, I got about eight calls a few days later so I called different areas of Guardian and each one was more or less, pushing me around.

    Finally, I called service and I told them everything about this man telling me about the battery. And the rep said, "We're in Virginia. We can't be there until the 29th." So, what I'm doing is wait until the 29th, and find out if they'll come to repair it. I'm just hoping that they get here the 29th. If not, then, I'm going to complain to somebody about it. I'm not completely satisfied with Guardian Protection. I just had it put in, and I've had nothing but trouble since.

    I used a different home security provider prior to using Guardian Protection Services and Guardian has more features. My interaction with the sales reps at Guardian was relatively trouble-free and it was a good experience. The customer service people were pleasant, but it took a couple of times for the problem in the system to be solved. The tech was very informative and very knowledgeable but we had to have him come back twice to get some of the glitches out. I also wasn’t happy about not being told that we needed a certain speed of Wi-Fi in order to make some of the tasks work well. The doorbell video doesn’t always work and it's because of our internet speed, but we weren't told that ahead of time.

    We like the features that we have but I wish we could use them and that they were more reliable. They don’t always integrate with the lock, which has been offline several times. It has had issues arming and disarming because of the amount of time that it takes. When our Wi-Fi is off or not working for some reason or if we have a slow connection, none of the remote features will work, which is inconvenient, to say the least. I wish I had been informed about the Wi-Fi speed issue beforehand. So, I'd tell a friend who asks about Guardian to check on the Wi-Fi speed and make sure the features are all going to work.

    Reviewed Oct. 12, 2017

    I have been with Guardian for over 10 years. However, there was a miscommunication from my initial order of transferring my services from my old home into this new one. The rep left off something to secure my windows on the basement level which was the most important thing. Then, I waited a month later to get it taken care of. I would have been a bit more pleased if they could have expedited my services, but they did get to complete it. It just took too long to get my stuff connected but the rep I interacted with was very fast and very knowledgeable of everything that was going on in my house. I sat down and watched him, and he was very thorough.

    So far, I haven't had a reason to use Guardian and I hope that I don't ever have to use it, but in the event that something happens, I don't know how fast everything would be reported to the police. But they did a test run and said that if the alarm went off, they wouldn't get the alert. So by them telling me that, I thought there might have been something they might want to expedite. But they just put that issue on the same service order that I had with the tech coming out to put the sensors on that was missed previously.

    When the tech came, I told him about what happened about the test, and he did the test. Apparently, the tester alarm system had different wires that were connected and it was like a burning smell when he tested it. So, he took it off the wall and replaced it altogether. That's why they didn't get the correct reading when they did the initial test because the alarm or the sensor wasn't registering to them. But it was corrected. Nevertheless, I feel safe now that my windows are secure. Guardian adds a sense of security. Tracy was a good representative for following through on things. She did a great job. And since they gave me a good deal, I stuck with their service. They're a good company and I would recommend them.

    I moved to a new residence, and the previous tenant had Guardian, so I decided to go with them. I called them initially about the service, and once the salesperson called me, he gave me some quotes and explained everything in detail. He also worked with me a little in reference to a doorbell I purchased that didn’t work. On the other hand, the installation crew took several hours to complete the installation. Since the system was already pre-installed, they didn’t have to do any wiring. However, because their system was down internally at the time, we had to wait about 3 hours before the system came up. But, besides that, everything was okay.

    I got the doorbell camera, and I don’t like the fact that it is too sensitive. I’d put the setting as low as possible, but it sets off all the time, and I get emails and text messages all day, anytime there’s any sort of motion anywhere around my home even though I don’t live in a crowded street. Then when I playback the video, there was no motion there. I also don’t appreciate where the keypad is located. I requested that I get a little chime each time my door opens. But since the keypad is located in the basement, I can’t hear it up in my bedroom. I asked the technician at the time if there was a way that they can install another keypad or some sort of speaker so that I can hear the door when they open, but he said that it was not an option.

    Subsequently, I talked to other people and they are saying that that was an option because my siren, as well as other stuff with the alarm is up in my bedroom. So, the chime should work the same way. So, I had to put in a request to have a technician come out. This was a little less than I anticipated. But overall, Guardian Protection Services is okay. In fact, I wanted to get an alarm system installed at my mother in law’s home too, since I recently had it and I know that they service the area as well. So, I told the technician at the time, and he said that there would be a salesperson calling. But I haven’t heard from anyone. So, I think my mother in law is ready to call AT&T.

    Our builder has a contract with Guardian, and that's how we found out about them. We went to their showroom and picked out what they said we were supposed to pick out. Installation was all great except for the cameras.The features on the device are nice, but the cameras don't get a very wide angle view. They are very narrowly focused. I had asked for some different cameras and they said, "No, those were the standard". If I wanted the upgrades or the other cameras, then I would have to pay a lot of money to get those. The technician we dealt with was good, and the quality of the system we got was pretty good as well -- they are about equal as the other security systems I have had. I love the smartphone features and I use them all the time. Guardian was adequate and it covers the need.

Now they have reported it to collection for the bills. What kind of system is this? You can't even get out of the service that you don't want? Are they really concerned about the service or the money they can get from the people by lying and making them sign with a trick. This is the first review of my life.

I got the cameras outside, and I could turn my lights on and off remotely, which I really like. I used to have ADT, which was okay but Guardian offered me more amenities.

    The installation was fine, but once in a while, I had to call their helpdesk and ask how to do things because the installer really did not explain in depth how the alarm works, and they would walk me through it. But then when he had to come back for service calls to fix the problems I was having, he went back with more detail to tell me about it.

    ADT was going to charge me $500 for the installation and the unit but Guardian called me up and pretty much gave me free installation and unit so I went with them. It would have been nice if they also offered their customers a free doorbell camera for signing up. It's the latest and greatest in technology today and they might close some more deals. But the reps were excellent all of the time. We added smoke detectors because the ones we had didn't work anymore. The technician knew his stuff and did a good job putting the system in. We've had it for a few months and my son doesn't like it because it goes off when he comes home at night. It was very loud so we definitely heard it.

Guardian is simple, but it's a little difficult sometimes to customize. Sometimes it acts like the motion sensors are always on when it is not. Definitely, having the device makes you feel more secure especially when I'm gone. I know nothing is going to happen, and if it does I'll know about it immediately.

    When our new house was built, I called Guardian Protection Services and told them exactly what I wanted, and the representative gave me the price for everything. He was very professional and didn’t try to upsell me stuff. They worked seamlessly. With Guardian’s system, we can move around the house once it’s set, unlike our previous system where we would set it and go right to bed. I sleep better knowing that we have Guardian’s system because we have every door and window on our lower level, and porches in the upper level. So, if somebody hops and tries to get in that window, we have all these sensors, and if I hear it in my room upstairs, I have time to be proactive.

    My husband travels a lot for work. So, I’m home alone with my son a lot. So, I feel like once I hear the alarm, I can get my firearm. I also like that, when I open front door, it says “front door.” I have a two-year-old, and so, if he opens the door, I know right away that he’s heading out. We love our security system from Guardian, and I feel 10 times more secure knowing I have it. We are 100% satisfied, and so happy with the service.

    Some of my friends said that they’re very pleased with Guardian and explained that a lot of their customer base was built around customer service. I also did a little bit of research and some of my friends that had ADT had complaints that if they had problems, ADT would take a day or a few days before somebody comes out to check the system. But it was different with Guardian per what I thought to be some reliable resources so I went with them.

    A gentleman came to install the system and he was pleasant to deal with. He was quick, very professional and knew what he was doing. He explained different things or options that I could do, whether it be in motion or just the wireless sensors that are on the doors and windows. It felt easy and very comfortable dealing with him. Also, there was a solar eclipse on the day that he installed the system and my wife and son happened to be home. They kept going outside to see if there was some drastic change while the installer was working and trying to set up the system. They kept opening and closing one of the doors that had a sensor on it but he handled it.

    There’s also a drastic change in our sense of security since we started having Guardian. I worked as a fireman and I need to make sure that my family's safe when I'm home or not. My free time should be spent with my family and Guardian made that easy and seamless. One time, the alarm had gone off when I opened the door and it’s the assurance that if the alarm’s going to go off on me, it will go off too to any kind of prowlers that will try to come through.

    I've told a couple of friends about Guardian. I raved about their system especially from it being wireless and that I’m able to set it from a phone especially when I’m not home. We have a one-year-old and he wants to run in and out. My wife sometimes has her hands full so when she's at home, she's able to shut off the alarm and do everything prior to unloading him from the car. That’s super convenient and that's one of the features that I also boast about Guardian when I let my friends and family know about them.

    Guardian was connected to our builder and we had experience with them. We had them in Texas for six years before we moved to Ohio. The salesperson was very knowledgeable and he took us through all the features that were available and made himself available if we had a question. The installation though was a little strange but it went okay. It worked but it wasn't quite right.

    The system features are great but we don't use it extensively. We set it at night and sometimes when we leave. We used it more in Texas than we do in Ohio as there's a little more crime in Texas. Back in Texas when we needed to troubleshoot, we always got prompt service and they seemed to know what they were talking about because they fixed our problem. We feel pretty secure with Guardian and I'd recommend them.

    When I bought this house, they have a system that wasn’t working and I didn't sign up. I was wondering about installing a security system and one day, one of the guys from Guardian Protection Services showed up at my door and explained to me how that works and the prices of the system. I agreed with what they showed me. I’m very satisfied until now, I see no problem and everything is working fine. The technicians were very courteous and they explained the item that they were installing and showed me it works. I can see from my phone what’s going on outside or in my living room so I like it and that’s something that I enjoy. The security equipment is great. I use the smartphone feature to see the videos on the camera and it works well, although sometimes there’s a lag. Yesterday, I tried to set up the alarm and it took a while to respond.

    I wanted this is for my 87-year-old mom because sometimes we have to leave the house to do different chores and she doesn’t want to get out with us, so she’s by herself. So, I feel more comfortable now that she’s at home with the system that can help us if something happened. I hope the community sees what I have and hopefully, they’ll get more clients because I'm very happy with the system. I will love to recommend to everybody. In fact, I talk to my neighbors and explain that I have this system and hopefully, somebody becomes interested.

    Guardian Protection Services is great. I had them in my other house, and I just transferred the service and added a new system to the new house. And because my daughter was staying at that other house, Guardian transferred the system there over to their name. Setting up service with Guardian is easy. I told the lady who I spoke with on the phone the equipment that I wanted and she sent the tech out with the equipment that I asked for. The tech came in and installed the equipment all in the exact locations that I asked for it and it was a good experience.

    I like the features that we have in our home security system. Guardian had it pretty much all covered. Since having our system, we have the ease of mind that we can leave the house and put the system on, and our house is guarded. We can watch our cameras through online. So, if anyone is to go in or try to break in, we’ve got something that’s going to deter them, alert authorities and let us know somebody’s trying to get into our house. I would recommend Guardian to my friends.

    I used a utility concierge when we bought our house to set up the initial stuff through Guardian and the pricing, options, technology were more in line with what we wanted. The installation went smoothly and the tech who came to my house was very knowledgeable and friendly. We discussed where I wanted the control panel put in and from there on the tech installed it. He would bring things to my attention if he thought of it and answered any questions so it was painless. He seemed to care about doing his job and making sure I understood everything the system could do for me.

    I like how I can control everything from my cellphone but when I set the alarm to stay mode I would like for the doors to be instant at that point. The system seems like a good deal to me and it makes me feel more secure. My husband leaves before I do in the morning for work so I can set the alarm to stay mode, go about my business and not worry about whether or not I heard something. Guardian is easy to use and I would highly recommend it.

    The Guardian Protection installers were very professional, and everything was good with the sales and customer service teams. But my dog does not like all the noises coming from the system. When I set it at night and it counts down for 60 seconds, she is petrified. I already talked to Guardian Protection about it and lowering the volume was the only solution they came up with.

    When my husband opened the door and didn’t think to disarm it, we didn’t hear Guardian Protection call because I turned the volume all the way down. The system beeps more the closer it gets to 60 seconds being done and even though I lowered the volume, my dog is still afraid of it because she knows that’s where the sound is coming from. She still freaks out when the system is counting down, but not quite as bad. The alarms my kids have don’t do this countdown. They arm it, there’s a beep and that’s it, so it would be nice if that’s all our system has.

    I thought Guardian Protection Services was something I was going to be happy with, but things aren't working the way that I thought they were going to work. I thought it was a monthly bill that I was going to have and that was okay. But as soon as I had it, I had to call the company to come and work on it because the equipment is messed up. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes we get it fast and sometimes we don't. They called me a week ago because they want to charge me for the first month. They never told me that I was going to be charged for the first month. It's not right. If it is something that I got to pay monthly, they should at least let me have the first month. The equipment was installed on the 14th last month so it hasn't been a month yet. And why I should I pay for it when the equipment hasn't been working right?

    They have sent people three times to my house trying to make it work right. The last time, they told me that I had to buy this piece on my own because they didn't supply that piece. It was to give more space for the camera. I went to a store to buy this piece and it cost me $300. I get a little more speed out of the system but it cost me $300 when the company should have supplied me with it. The customer service reps have not been bad though. They do what they have to do. So far, the system is working okay, just a little slow. But I won't recommend Guardian. I'm not happy with them.

But they’re coming today because I had some workers here to paint and they were taping up everything.

    They tore the doorbell off somehow, knocked it down and try to put it back up and they couldn’t. We looked at it, just little tiny screws to put it in the front and I wasn’t happy about that and they’re coming back today to replace it. But I should have told them I want it recessed inside the plaster because if a robber wanted to enter really bad, they can just knock it off. Besides that, since having them I feel a lot safer.

I've called Guardian and someone came out last week but I’m still having the same issue. As soon as they left, the issue started all over again. I’m not too pleased with that. The only thing I really like is the doorbell camera.

    Also, they only gave me one pad, and with ADT, I had one in the front and one in the back. They told me that they could only give one pad and if I want another pad, they told me it was going to be $600 dollars more. It’s not that loud so I can’t really hear it, and it’s in on my cellphone. I don’t want a system basically dependent on my cellphone. They should give more than one pad, but I guess it’s a blessing because if I had one in my bedroom and it was going off too, I would have smashed it at the wall and threw it out the window.

    I wanted the one-man installation I saw at the state fair that's why I went with Guardian Protection Services. Both the sales and customer service reps were considerate and nice. The installer did a good job and was really nice as well. He walked me through it all. The system works fine and got plenty of options too if I want to buy them later on. We usually don't set the system every night but it's good when we're gone.

    I’ve had Guardian for more than 10 years now and so far, everything has been fine. We’ve had issues with the billing but it gets resolved. The first home that we bought was pre-wired with Guardian. We had a couple of new things installed later. Several times, installers had to come out and do upgrades. But the recent one, he came out and did a partial install. We have the door keypad and smoke alarm. But he was unable to put up the cameras that we have from our previous address. I've still been waiting on a phone call from customer service about swapping out one of our cameras for a doorbell camera. I called I think a week ago, Friday and I haven't heard anything yet from customer service.

    I enjoy the system and I like that I can control it from my phone. Before, when I had the cameras, I was able to look and see who was coming to my house. I get a notification anytime somebody walked up to the doorstep. It gives us a good feeling as far as sense of security. We rest easier at night knowing that if something happens, we're going to be woken up by a loud noise. Guardian a good company, trustworthy, and I would recommend them.

    A Guardian salesperson was canvassing our neighborhood and I had already been looking into programs. So, he came on the right day and offered me a deal. I'm happy with the doorbell cam, the fact that I can unlock the door remotely is nice and I like being able to see when someone's at my front door though I'm not using all of system’s fullest potential yet. I would recommend Guardian Protection Services. They were very easy to work with.

    The sales rep from Guardian Protection Services walked up to my house, knocked on the door and started asking me if I’d be interested in a home security system. I sat down with him, went over my options and decided to get it. But I had a problem with one of the doors that was lining up and I expected them to come here and refix the center. Then I had to call the people who repair equipment and their stuff because there has been a little bit of an irritation when the sensors were not working right and another one should have been put in one area that I missed. Also, when I’m getting a bunch of kids into another car and I haven't set the alarm and left, I would figure I can do it on my phone since they had me put the app on my phone. But when I get down the road and try arming it, it’s not arming so somebody could still get in. Then Guardian will not pay my deductible because the alarm never armed.

    The installation team came back and solved the problems but anytime something is resolved, I feel that I find another error. Since they told me that I could cancel within three days, I almost wished I called them and told them to just get their stuff after that third day. As it is, I also tried finding out if there was any way to reduce the price because it is out of our budget, and if it’s not working at 100%, it’s a frustration for me. It's also not a necessity for us since we’re not in a very dangerous neighborhood and we have other safety security features in our home. We have all new windows and doors, so they have all new locks. We also put out light sensors outside all our doors. We have a whole lot of safety features so the risk isn’t that high.

    We had a few things happen around our home that made it a good idea to get a security system. Guardian Protection Services were offering a good promotion at the time. The people at Guardian have always been helpful. The salesperson tried to get us every deal that he could. I've even been able to get a hold of salesperson after. Like when I had to get a letter for my insurance company and they were really good about helping me get that and make few corrections. Then, we bought a house and we were able to move our security system from one house to another. The technician who came and helped us installed it into our second house was very conscientious about making it so that it would work best for the design of the house and the way we were set up. So, he was very good about being meticulous and making sure our system was set up so that we were covered well.

    During the system’s installation on the first and second time, they were both pretty good about explaining how the break would work on the windows and how all of it would alert us. It was very nice to have the app on the phone. When we were on vacation, we had something happened where Guardian responded quickly. Nothing was wrong and the police came quickly. So, it all just worked out very well. We haven't had any problems. They seem to know what they were talking about and I really appreciate the professionalism that they had. The system has good features, anything more would be like complicated and more elaborate. I also like the smart phone feature, though sometimes, it takes a little too long to load. Overall, they have done well for us.

    The remote that Guardian Protection Services gave me when they came and put my new system in was a piece of junk. They sent me one a while back which started to blink. Sometimes it might work and sometimes it might not. Then the boy came here 45 minutes ago, pre-programmed a new one and it’s okay now. Also, a lot of times, the security equipment goes off on its own. The boy who came here and sold the new remote to me said it might be from the remote getting hit in my pocket but I didn’t buy that. It just started alarming with nothing going on and it has done that for a while now since I got this new remote.

    So there’s been some hassles in their service and we’re trying to get them worked out. But everybody who’s been here has been nice including the kid. Their customer service rep was good too but I got a bill yesterday and saw on my checking account that they took $47 instead of $29.99. I called and they told me to prove this, that and the other. Then they said they’re going to leave it the way it was, so I told them that on the next screw up I will quit. They should also throw that automated phone system away. When I call them, I want to talk to a human and not a machine.

    I wouldn't have chosen Guardian had I known what it would be like. Whoever presents the system should be more thorough and upfront before they go ahead and start installing. There wasn't a full explanation of the contract. I didn't know that I was in a contract for five years and the cost wasn't explained until after everything was installed. It is way too high compared to other systems. I also didn't get a full explanation on how to use the system.

    My alarm goes off on its own every week even though I'm just sitting here. I have to keep calling them because they don't fix the problem. They installed the system but I don't know that it was installed correctly since I'm continuing to have problems with it. The technicians who come to do repairs or maintenance of the system should know exactly what they're doing because I had to have them here about four times already since I've gotten the system in. It's too costly. The features offered in my system are okay but the wireless system is not as good. My son has Guardian which has the wired system for a while and it seemed to work much better than this wireless deal. I also quit using the key fobs because every time I use them the system would go off on its own.

    Nevertheless, since having Guardian Protection Services, I feel more secure in knowing that when I leave and I get back home, if it has tripped, I'm okay. The techs who installed the system were friendly too. Since I don't use that key fob that they gave me, I use my phone a lot to set the alarm when I leave. I also like the doorbell camera. I check on it all the time.

    My husband likes to have security systems and it seemed like a good idea to pre-wire our house. Guardian Protection Services was the package offered by the company that built our home so we switched to them from ADT. We have three functioning systems: the security system, the smart central system, and a sound system. It was the best all-inclusive package and the security system was the best connected. The security service has been good overall but the customer service wasn't great.

    The sales representative gave us misleading and confusing information. It was also a long sales meeting. I had to stop him after two hours, which is part of the reason it went slow. There was a lot of misinformation about what was included and they don't set up everything for the customer. I spent half an hour being walked through about how to set up the complicated internet system on the phone. Also, they don't bring all the cables that are needed. It's a no-brainer that they should offer it all if they're offering that kind of fancy, expensive service. They explained that it was company policy, which is fine, but their competitors are going to offer it all. With that, I'd tell a friend to be careful of the sales representatives in our area and the information they're giving them. Also, I'd tell them to get the basic package if they'll be doing what I'm doing.

    With the smart central thing, it was confusing to figure out which cable goes to the main one while reading the labeled cables and a crumpled-up spec sheet. It's now working but I can't figure out why Guardian haven't connected that on their own because it's like including $10 worth of cables more than they include. It could have been set up and ready to go but instead it wasn't. I had to do it over the phone with a guy because he refused to send someone else out. And everybody was condescending about it. My husband is from a foreign country and I felt like they were trying to place the blame on him and his English, but his English is very good.

    Ironically, after I got the system working, the guy asked me to give him a good review. And I didn't say anything. He thought he was offering good customer service because he got on the cell phone with me and taught me how to connect it myself instead of sending someone out. It was far from what is good customer service to me. I wasn't demanding and mean to him, but I'm sure I could have gotten him to send someone to come out had I been mean.

    And then, we had a problem with the surround sound because they don't offer the receiver. The sales rep explained that the surround sound system comes ready-to-use but it was not true. It's $500 away from being ready to be used because the receiver had to be bought separately and no one told us that. It was written on one of the papers but there was no explanation of it. And once I got a receiver, Guardian wouldn't touch it. We were stuck with trying to figure out how to make their system speak to other technology and that was a huge confusion challenge for us. In the end, the sound system works but we were unhappy with the process to get there and it was more expensive than we had anticipated. All of our systems are working and we're happy. But I would not want to go through that experience again and I can't recommend for somebody else to get the same service we did unless Guardian offers to take care of it all.

    Our old system promised us everything and then, they ended up not being able to keep up with their claims. We also wanted to go wireless and they wanted $1,000. We got Guardian and it has been okay. I'm really excited about it being wireless. We have smoke detectors and also, a heat sensor plus the fire alarm, which is a huge plus. We have a glass breakage sensor, too, which our old system did not have and for them to put it in was going to cost us an arm and a leg. Plus, the phone app is kinda nice. Although, for an older person, who isn't tech savvy, an app can be very frightening. I use it just fine but I have to make sure I'm the first one home so everybody else doesn't set off the alarm.

    Everybody from Guardian has been really nice, so far. The fellow who installed the system was as sweet as he could be. He was very cordial and polite. The only problem I had was after he had been in my crawlspace, he came in the house and asked if I wanted him to take his shoes off. It has been raining so shoe covers are something that should have been a given.

    The instructions given could have been a little bit more detailed on the operation only because it's totally different than what we were used to. Their customer service reps have been helpful but I'm an older woman so my brain cells don't operate on a young woman's scale. It's not really user-friendly and I wish that it came with a picture book. You would think that all you would have to do is press a button that says, "arm" and one that says, "disarm" and it's not the case. But it has been just a slight issue.

    We were researching security systems back at our old house and I heard good things about Guardian. I went to talk to one of their representatives and he explained how we can use it, what the services were, and what services we could take advantage of. He wasn’t pushy if I wanted certain things. He explained what the cost would be and the cost efficiency. It was the fact that they weren't going to charge me a ton of money to put it in that I initially went with them. I had a good experience, so when we moved, we kept them.

    We have the CO2, the fire, the burglary, all the breaking stuff features. Installing it the first time was great and the second time was a little confusing because it was a new construction. The gentleman who came to put this online all of a sudden wasn’t sure where anything was. So somebody else had to come back and finish it up but we didn’t get all the services we were supposed to get. It turned out they couldn’t give us the cell phone service where it'd come on like a two-way regular system because there weren't enough lines.

    Nevertheless, Guardian allows me to relax. We have the ability to check the alarm system on our phone, which I love, and also shut it and unarm it. At night when we put it on and go to bed, we know that no matter what, if something goes wrong, we will know about it. That’s a very good feeling when you're in my age. I have set off the alarm a couple of times and right away, within minutes, they’d call. It's a good service. They provide what they say and they stand behind their product.

    We were with Monitronics before we changed over to Guardian. A Guardian rep came over and said that they would take care of whatever is left in the balance of our contract with Monitronics when we switched, but the problem has been dragging on. Monitronics is still calling us and telling us that since we’re paying Guardian and not them, they're going to send collection soon. They're not canceling our system until the balance is paid up. So I called Guardian and they told us to take care of it. We told Guardian that if we're going into collections, then we have to go back to Monitronics who is right now having us on the hook. We just want to be with one system and be done.

    Other than that, I'd tell a friend that he'd get a good system for a good price with Guardian. We like their sales reps and the improvements and upgrade on the quality of service. That was a big part of why we switched over. The tech who installed the system showed us how to use it, as well as the ins and outs of some of the accessories we didn’t have before. We also like that we get notifications of when the alarm is set and disarmed when I’m not home so I know when my wife has left in the morning and my wife knows when I get home for the night because we have different shifts.

    The installation of my Guardian system was good. The technician was really nice and he explained everything to me. He answered all my questions. Everything that I would want is there. However, I keep getting that something with my front door and window is malfunctioning. When I open the door it’ll keep saying, “Front door open.” It’s like the door’s been open all day. And it’ll keep going on and on and on. Yesterday it did it three times. They told me maybe it could’ve been because they were old sensors, but I’ve never had a problem with it. They said they were going to come out on Saturday and they never came out. I’m going to call them and ask them.

    It’s hard to get a hold of them though. They told me that since they’re local, it’s easier to get a hold of them and they won’t charge me. But I haven’t even been able to get a hold of them. The only time I got a hold of them was when I talked to somebody telling me that there’s a sensor malfunction. Also, the Guardian rep said he was going to pay my bill because my contract wasn’t up yet, so I’m still waiting for that to happen. Other than that, everything’s okay. I’m trying to get my mom to go to them, but she has a bad experience with her other system, so she doesn’t want it anymore.

    We bought a house this summer and took over the Guardian system that the previous owner had used. I had an alarm go off last weekend because my mom went in the house and she didn’t realize the alarm was armed. Guardian Protection called in less than a minute. I felt like it was super quick and they went through the steps of securing the house and made sure that everything was okay. My husband is deployed and I got two babies so the system makes me feel a lot better with him not being home. I feel a lot safer with having the security system because before having the security system, I was more hesitant to look into it myself when I hear something. I would invite anyone who is looking into getting a system to check Guardian Protection Services.

    I had problems with both of the home security system that I have. Guardian told me that whatever the device was on the phone that burned the unit that I had, they tried to upgrade it. That was the feel that I got. I still had some difficulty and they had to come out two or three different times. Something's still wrong but I didn't know what it is. Someone who knows more about the operation of the unit needs to look at it and tell me what's going on. The service people that came out were unable to do anything right then. They called the one who installed it. He came out and reprogrammed it and he got it working fairly well.

    The features looked very good. I wished I could see some of the things that I saw before because there's a little difference in the way that I can get back to the unit. There was a bell before and all I had to do was touch the bell but I don't see it anymore. However, if somebody rings my doorbell, it lets me know that somebody is there. The unit before enables me to speak to whoever was at the door. I don’t see that feature now with the smartphone. There’s still a little bit more to be desired.

    I've used ADT previously and, so far, I like the Guardian really well. The newer tech with the phone and the key fob is nice. The rep who sold it to me was really good. He contacted me again to make sure we were happy with it and if we had any questions. We had a little issue at the very beginning with our motion detectors. They were, for some reason, setting off. He promptly took care of it for us. He placed the different stuff in there so that it wouldn't do that. I got along great with him. The installer did a good job too. He was in and out very fast. Calling back up to the actual monitoring service, they contacted us so I didn’t have any issues with them.

    We live out in the country, so it's very much sense of security for my wife and family when they're there too. Definitely knowing that I can know if anything’s wrong gives a sense of safety at home. We definitely are feeling pleased with it. I definitely have no regrets at this point going with Guardian.

    I took over the alarm monitoring system when I purchased our home. The system was already 7 plus years old and we had to recently switch to a cellular device add on due to eliminating a landline. We were customers... Paying customers since 2010 prior to this. Ever since the "upgrade" we have had an extreme amount of false alarms. The alarm goes off indicating a door has been opened. We immediately punch in our code and several minutes they call to obtain the password. Unfortunately we can't always answer so they call the police.

    I understand if we did not immediately enter our disarm code within seconds but they still call us and send the police. I have tried relentlessly to fix this problem. They send a test signal and say everything is ok. Well obviously not. Now we are trying to cancel our alarm and they want over $1000. As a retired police officer and a local realtor I highly recommend you contract with another company who offers month to month so that when problems arise, they don't charge you to stop the bleeding. Guardian is highly overrated and several companies offer better service at a better rate.

Then I have the intercom system which I like and it all ties in with the doorbell. I also plan on adding some features like another camera.

    So far, it’s been a great experience and I’m very pleased with Guardian. We currently have a lot of construction workers around since my neighborhood is under construction but the security system makes me feel more secure. We’re also very comfortable with our safety at night. I will be the best spokesperson for Guardian right now because I praise them.

    I've had few security systems in the past. We moved and chose Guardian as our security system provider. Their sales rep came to the door, I spoke to them for a little while and it was good. The installation went smooth. But there were a couple of equipment mix-ups in terms of what I was supposed to get. And then they put it in another truck. They had to get with the tech and bring the stuff to my house but it wasn't a big deal.

    The system's features are pretty good but I would like the box itself to look a little more modern. It's a little bulky and ugly. I don't like the look of it. It needs to be just smaller, sleeker. It looks like it's from the 90's or early 2000's where the last one I had was more sleek-looking and looked like I mounted a mini-iPad to my wall which is really cool. But it all functions just fine and the price is good. If you don't care about the look of the box, then they work just fine. I have the panel hooked up where it notifies me when it's armed or disarmed or if anything happens. I definitely feel better that if any of the doors open, I will be woken up and it'll call to dispatch somebody to come over to the speaker to see if it was a false alarm.

    We met with somebody from Guardian to go over the features and choose what we wanted. They were very knowledgeable and it was a good interaction. Then I called customer service because I had an issue and they scheduled an appointment for a technician to come and check it out. Customer service handled that situation in an appropriate way. They were prompt and they said what they needed to say on the phone.

    The installation was fine. The installer came and there were big noises like the alarm going off, which was annoying, but that was fine. They were testing it. He walked me through on how to set the security pass and then he went to test the front door camera but it was frozen. He said that if that continues then we should have somebody come out. The problem is that every time somebody would ding the doorbell, I could not get the video or be able to speak in time and the person would be gone. So I called customer service and told them that the front door camera is not working at all so there's no point in having that doorbell there.

    We have just tied their product into our mortgage and it was a big mistake doing that. We have to figure out how to get this off of our mortgage. The technician came back, he did something but it's still not working. This has been going on for two weeks that the cameras don't work. I haven't heard anything about anyone coming and fixing it. The technician told me he was going to come by Friday. I saw him across the street at that day but he didn’t come by. There are so many things we're dealing with our house. I don't have time to call and then arrange when I can be here for the technician so it's very challenging. This is something that was supposed to be easy and seamless with no issue.

    We wouldn't recommend Guardian to anybody. It doesn't matter that the customer service and the installation were fine and the sales people were good. The actual product isn't good and the technician never resolved the problem. There was no follow through on their end. We do not care about this service anymore since it's not working the way we want it and it's inconvenient. We needed the doorbell so that we could receive packages. I'm missing work because I have to stay home to receive packages. If we had this doorbell working, I wouldn't have to do that. We don't even set the alarm because we don't know and we don't use it so it's pointless. We would prefer to have someone come and uninstall everything. So, I'm not very happy with Guardian.

    I was with Vivint initially and I was very happy with them. However, a representative from AMP Smart called for Guardian Protection Services and he gave me a price that was less than what I was paying Vivint at that time. That was a consideration for me being at my age and on social security. Also, I'm 90 years old and legally blind. I have a hard time even working with that small control system that Vivint had and the representative from AMP Smart showed me a control system and he said there would be no charge to install it.

    Afterwards, I called Vivint and they told me what they would do the same system for me and give me a much bigger reduction from the original price which was a lot better for me. I called AMP Smart and told them I wanted to stay with Vivint and cancel with Guardian. However, they told me that I had a three-day cancellation period and it was the morning of the 4th. I didn't know anything about that though and I didn't have a contract with them. It was never mentioned to me either and I thought it was a 30 days cancellation period. In the process, I called Vivint to get a buyout. Then the next thing I knew, I got a call the next day that AMP Smart was honoring my cancellation. Maybe the buyout was a little bit too much for them and they decided to honor the four days. I immediately called Vivint and they came out and installed an equivalent control system, which was even a little larger.

    I did not have a long-time experience with Guardian. It was just about three days but their people were okay. My interactions with the installers were very good. However, I had two bedroom windows which I saw on the street that were not hooked up. That was partially because we had stuff stored in that room and the installer couldn't get to the windows to check them. I told them we would clear out that room and that I needed those windows hooked up. He said they would come back and do that, but I never got to call him back and Vivint corrected that. They went back there and checked the two sensors. They were working and everything is hooked up. I was satisfied with Guardian and the only thing I was dissatisfied with is I paid $39.90 for that month, which was only for three days, but they told me I would get it returned to the bank. I would still recommend Guardian to anyone else.

I asked him for some suggestions about what other people did. After he was finished, he showed me how the online system works and get the app working on my phone. All features were good and I can access everything on the phone. I need to change the alert on my phone so I won’t get so many. It doesn’t go off every time I get it, only when I go in and check. The outside camera works well. It also helps since I have a teenage daughter and having an experience with delivery that I did not get, I could use the camera to tell if they actually sent it or not.

    The customer representative was straightforward. Every time I called them, they took the time to take care of everything I needed. I called because one of the sensors went offline and the person who came here took his time and figured out what the problem was. I thought it was one door and he figured out the code, fixed it and put it back online. I called the third time because the doorbell video was not working. He took his time to fix it. It’s definitely reassuring especially being in a townhouse. If anything happens, you got that alert. The thing will go off once you get in the house.

    My husband and I were with Guardian from April 2014 until recently selling our home in June 2017. Prior to selling, my husband contacted Guardian to remove the auto bill pay and make them aware of our situation in moving and not continuing the service. They asked for the new homeowner's information in an attempt to continue the 5 year contract. We did not have the new homeowner's contact information, so we referred them to our Realtor, who in return gave them the contact information. The new homeowner never received a call from Guardian and opted with ADT for the services. As a result, my husband and I were stuck with a bill for $884 due on September 2nd to satisfy the remaining five year agreement.

    My husband spoke to Rep. Michael ** originally around June 19th and signed the disable agreement effective June 30th. He then spoke to Supervisor Anne ** around August 1st and agreed to the 30% reduction for the buyout of the agreement, bringing the amount to the aforementioned $884. This morning, 8/18/17, my husband received an email from Guardian indicating that they will be drafting the monthly rate of $54.95 from our checking account that is evidently still on file (which was removed back in mid-June). We were never told this by Michael ** or Anne ** that a payment would be taken.

    We find this to be very unsettling and unprofessional. There should be no reason to take payment when documentation was signed and agreed to remove service.

    I previously had the Protection 1 security system for a couple of years, then Guardian Protection Services came by and offered to take over. The security service of Guardian was a little cheaper and the sales rep answered all my questions. But when I called Protection 1 to confirm that I had written them a letter, they found out what Guardian was charging and they said that they could have done it cheaper. So, I called Guardian back and told them what Protection 1 had said.

    The customer service rep of Guardian handled that situation very well. She got in touch with the sales rep through email while I stayed on the line, and the sales rep told her to give the service to me at the same price as Protection 1, so I kept Guardian's service. The installers that came were very clean and they were very good in what they did. They went around and changed all the batteries. Right now, Guardian's system is working well. On the whole, our experience with Guardian worked out very nicely and I would tell other people to get Guardian if they don't have an alarm system.

    Two guys came to my front door unannounced and said they need to switch out the box on the wall. My other company, Monitronics, has supposedly gone out of business but I found out later that it wasn’t true after all the damage was done. The two installation reps took the other equipment from Monitronics out and left it with me. I let them do it because they knew what they were doing.

    Thinking that Monitronics went out of business, I didn't talk to them, but when I did, they said they aren't out of business. So I didn't know that I was being charged for both prices. Somebody should have notified me, either from Monitronics or Guardian or AMP Smart, the ones that manufacture the equipment. So I'm in the process of switching back to Monitronics and I want to cancel my contract with Guardian Protection Services. I never had a problem with Monitronics and they're $20 less a month than Guardian. That will save me some money. For the same stuff, I've already got equipment and everything.

    Guardian's got great sales people. I loved Monica and Josh on getting set up and getting the guy to the house and the business to set them up. I liked my experience with the reps on the phone and when they answered my questions to convince me to end up with one of their security systems. When it was installed, the guy from Security Force was very quick and thorough. But he wanted to be left alone, wasn't quite the bubbly personality the whole company has and was not what I expected to show up.

    I'm completely satisfied with the system's features though I wish it included a key fob for my house to give to my mother. She watches my kids so in case she needed to get in my house while I was at work, she could disarm the alarm. I also love the smart phone features. But I wish my husband would learn to set the alarm when we go to bed and quit getting up when it goes out in the middle of the night. I have to run to the Fox when it starts chirping, too. Other than that, I'm pretty good and if I'm going to choose a security system, I'm going with Guardian. I would refer them from the whole standpoint of the installation, who they worked with for that and the ease of use of the equipment. The system goes off of cell phones and I don't have to have a landline so I wouldn't go anywhere else.

    I've used ADT in the past and Guardian is much more sophisticated. What they offered in terms of security, sound, speakers and things of that nature, weren't offered by ADT. I had a home built and it was a new construction. Guardian met with us at the model home. I had a one-on-one sit at the table type of discussion with their reps. They went through the entire process and spent a couple of hours with me. Then everything went as planned based on the builder. Guardian's customer service stayed in constant contact with me. They emailed or phoned to check on the status even when my delivery date of the home was not kept. They would call to make sure that we don't forget to schedule and were always on top of it.

    Even when they scheduled for the service to come out to be installed, they made sure they called the day before. During the installation, they were here half a day for the first part. I had to do it in two separate parts because of an internet issue with Verizon. Guardian was very flexible and they installed the security system which didn't require the internet on Monday. They did that in three to four hours and when they came back to do the cameras, it took an hour. The installation was clean, quick and easy. The technicians were all very friendly and explained the features thoroughly. Then we had another issue with a leak in the home, all the water came through and messed up one of the speakers, and the technicians had to come back out last week to replace that.

    I use the phone to operate the sound system, the garage doors and turning the alarm on and off. The remote access is great. It works and I can set it up as to how many notifications I want. It gives me a sense of comfort having Guardian Protection Services in my home and so far, I had a wonderful experience with them. They are reputable, user-friendly and professional.

Also, a good addition to the smart phone feature is that I could put the alarm on the front door and keep the other two doors open if I went in the backyard.

    Also, their rep was friendly, answered every question I might have and walked me through, and there was no confusion. The installer was good and didn't spend long, which was around 20 minutes.

    This is the second security company we have experience with, the first one being at our old house. Our new house is newly constructed and the company who built that house made it mandatory to go with Guardian for a minimum amount of time before we could switch, which was disappointing, but not enough to not have a security system in place. Just take this with a grain of salt since we're comparing Guardian to our previous security company. Also, it's important to note that we've been living in our house for roughly three months now, so we haven't had an extensive amount of time with the system and, fortunately, have not had a scenario where we needed to use it.

    Con - We opted for wired connections to all of our entry doors and first floor windows. We were informed that the wiring would go through the window and be hidden. We discovered that a tiny part of the wire is exposed at each location. Not a huge deal, but we were misinformed. Pro - During the initial planning phases, our security system came with a motion detector for inside of the house that we didn't want. They gave us a credit for that which we put towards our window sensors, which was nice.

    Pro - The keypad is easier to use than our previous security system. Con - The keypad doesn't seem to always register when a specific door and window are opened or closed and there doesn't seem to be a consistent pattern to why this is the case. It also doesn't seem to affect arming the system, which is something we're currently monitoring to see if we need to reach out and have it fixed.

    Pro - The mobile app that comes with the security system is worlds better than the third party app that our previous security system utilized. It's much more intuitive, it's faster, and I know exactly what is going on when I'm interacting with it. Con - Since this was included with the house that we built, they pre wire everything before the drywall goes up. This is also in conjunction with planning whatever tv / phone / internet hookups you desire, meaning they know exactly what needs to be installed for everything to function. The issue, at least with our house, is that they didn't plan for enough power outlets near box that houses our security and internet. I didn't discover this until after our internet was hooked up but no internet was going to our room ports.

    It turns out this was because the internet installer didn't have enough outlets to plug in the ethernet switch to all of my rooms and just left the power supply to the ethernet switch hanging. I had to put a power strip in the remaining outlet (since the other outlet has the security system power supply screwed into the wall) in order to provide all of the necessary power for my internet. The internet installer should have told us this, but, ultimately, Guardian should have anticipated my setup needing more power outlets.

    Pro - one feature that is nice about Guardian (that we thankfully haven't had to utilize yet) is their speaker system that basically allows someone to automatically start talk to you through a speaker in your house if you cannot answer your phone right away or reach your keypad. Additionally, if they don't get a response in a short amount of time, they send the police. Overall, there are some complaints but there are also some nice features, so I think it would just come down to better communication when planning the setup.

    Guardian Protection Services is a reputable company. Their customer service rep was very good, and so was this one guy who installed the system. He explained the system very thoroughly and when he left, I was very comfortable with it. It’s a good system and I’m very happy about it. It’s a brand new home so I feel more secure with the security system.

    Guardian Protection Services is cheaper than everybody else and that’s what appealed most to me. They gave me a day they were going to install and the installer showed up when they said he was going to. The gentleman was funny, friendly, respectful and everything I would expect in someone who's coming into my home and working with me on this type of deal. He asked me where I would like things to be placed so that he wasn’t just throwing it wherever and he worked with me to make sure that I was happy with everything before he made any holes or did anything.

    The system has worked like it’s supposed to and met the standard. All the features are awesome but being real nitpicky, I would make the interface to be a little more current. It could also be a bit nicer, cleaner and more modern with a better resolution. It’s user-friendly, but they could make it even simpler. However, I like everything a lot and it’s plenty good enough. I also feel way better having the system because I know that if someone opens my door, that thing’s going off for sure. It give me a lot more peace of mind.

    Everybody was telling me that Guardian was a bit better than Protection One. The first guy from Guardian came and I told him that I thought I was under contract with Protection One so he said that he'd check into it. A second guy came and took over for the other guy. He was great, showed me everything and changed the system over to Guardian. I told him that the first guy was going to get back to me and he said that they checked it over and I was not under contract. I was also told that if I got charged for this month by both that I should get ahold of Guardian and they'd reimburse me.

    Moreover, I was charged by Protection One and I had to write a letter to them but they don't take letters which is not good, so I called them. The lady that I talked to said she'd get back to me. Now, I need to call them again with my password before I can even talk to anyone. In addition, I need to call Guardian because I got a notice saying that my payment was rejected. Also, they told me that Protection One was going out of service and I don't think they are, so I don't know if Guardian was telling the truth or not. Overall, Guardian could have explained things better to me and my experience with them could have been better. They told me things that weren't true and I don't know if they were really honest with me.

    My experience with Guardian Protection Services has been terrible from the very beginning. I just had a new home built. As part of the building process you meet with various vendors to select the options that you'd like included in you new home. Guardian was one of those vendors recommended by the builder. When we met with the sales associate from Guardian he seemed very unsure about everything. We assumed that he was new and continued with the appointment. We choose the services that we wanted, received a quote detailing the cost of those services and was told that we'd receive the paperwork electronically. When we received the paperwork, there was a $1200 discrepancy between the amount that we were quoted and the amount that was on the contract.

    When confronted about the difference, the sales associate admitted that he had "misquoted" based on an accidental omission. After much back and forth about my dissatisfaction, the builder ultimately absorbed the cost of our entire package to illuminate any reputational risk. Months later, after my home was complete came installation. I was given an appointment window between 8am and 10am. I made arrangements to be at home during that time. I waited and waited until 10am, no technician. At that point I went to work leaving my 19 year old daughter in my home to meet the now late technician.

    The technician finally arrives at approximately 10:50am. He asked my daughter "Where are you parents?" To which my daughter answers, "At work". He then tells her that he can not install without her parents. Within about 20 minutes my daughter is able to reach me to let me know what happened. I immediately call Guardian. According to the service representative, the technician left because there was no one 18 years of age or older at the residence. WHAT! My daughter is 19 years old. Never did he ask her age, nor did he ask her for ID, nor did he express his concerns with my daughter to give her the opportunity to verify her age.

    I then requested that the technician return to complete the installation, as it had only been 20 minutes since he left. The technician refused stating that he had other appointments. Incredible! He showed up 50 minutes past the appointment window, makes an assumption about my daughter's age then refuses to come back...really? According to Guardian it takes 2-3 hours to install. You didn't arrive until 50 minutes past the appointment time therefore you should have 3 hours and 20 minutes to complete this job. Nope, I ended up having to reschedule.

    APPOINTMENT ATTEMPT #2. Again appointment window is between 8am and 10am. I requested to be the first appointment because I didn't want the tech to run late again like the first appointment. Logical right? Nope, again the tech doesn't arrive until 9:50am. His excuse? Traffic. 1 hr and 50 minutes of traffic from South Jersey to Delaware...really? So he shuffles around in the basement for about 45 minutes only to return and tell me that there are technical difficulties connecting with the main office. It'll be an hour or 2 before he can get started. Sir are you kidding me? So now more of my time wasted.

    I am writing this review as I am waiting for an update from the technician. It is now 11:16am. Nothing is done. 3 hours into the 2nd appointment that was suppose to get started at 8am. I'm not sure that I want Guardian Protection Services for my home. I haven't even gone live and the experience has been beyond terrible!!! I highly suggest that when you are considering home protection services that you steer clear of Guardian! My next contact will be to the builder for recommending this company.

    We've had Guardian system for three weeks and I love the features. The Guardian reps are very responsive and helpful. Plus, the technicians have been wonderful. We had to have two installations because we didn't have the Wi-Fi, so the tech had to come back out last week, and they were very good. I'm on a house that has four levels and so the keypad is at the bottom level which happens no matter where you are. I remember when I had ADT, they gave me a complimentary key fob because I want to just press the police button real fast. But you don't have a way to do that if the control panel is way down the bottom level. So I had to pay Guardian $90 for the key fob. Although we do have the electronic feature with Guardian and everything can be done via our phones, which is fantastic. I feel satisfied with the system. Everyone in the team has been very thorough and everything is perfect.

    I’m having difficulties with Guardian's product. It’s going to be a month and a half and I still haven’t got half of my equipment. When they came to install the unit, they told me that they were sorry that it was on backorder. There was a shortage and the lady said they’ll give it to me at the end of the week. Three weeks went by but they didn't show up and on the fourth week, I started calling. To top that up, I have no paperwork, just an electronic email that I signed. I also didn't have their number so I went on the web searching for it. I wound up finding it after I called five security system companies and I didn’t exist in their plan.

    I finally got this number off the web and it was to a Jason. He's in charge of the San Antonio area and he was really nice. The rep that went to my house was a freelancer so he didn’t have a contract with Guardian but he’s the one that told me he'll see what he can do. He really helped me and made me feel like I got a chance here. That same day that he called me back, I wound up calling the company. I finally got their number and they opened a case.

    The technician came the following day, looked at the equipment he brought and told me that it was going to give me problems. He said he'd rather not install it and they'd have to give me wireless. I told him I waited for a whole month for that so he tried. I just finished putting new panel around my house two months ago and he drilled a hole for the door camera. He took out the doorbell and said I needed to plug it in. But he still said it's not going to work so he's going to take it back, call the representative and they’ll get the wireless because that’s what I need. That was two weeks ago and this is our third week already. Now I have a big hole on my door so I’m going to have to either buy a new panel and redo the front end of the house which will cost me money or buy a regular door bell that fits the one and a half inch hole they drilled. But the thing is I’m still waiting for the wireless doorbell.

    Also, I downloaded their app on my phone and I was able to access my account through my fingerprint. But I accidentally removed it and now I have to do a password. I had called for them to put it back for my fingerprint because I don’t want to keep my account open. If I lose my phone, they’ll have access to the alarm system but they told me they didn’t know how to do it. I was with Security Hawk for 17 years and the only reason why I switched over to Guardian was because their price was excellent. I thought they'd save me money, I didn’t have to pay $180 and I'm going to get an upgrade with the system. But now I regret going to this security company.

    Guardian had an independent contractor, AMP, that picked the right time, offered cheaper prices, and provided a better unit for what I was paying with ADT. It was like I had a system that was 10 years outdated and they upgraded me three years ago. On our street where I live, I bet Guardian picked up half the good customers that have had ADT for well over 20 years. I live in Southern California, close to Anaheim and I was told two gentlemen would arrive within an hour and a half, one was from Utah, while the other one was from Idaho. I couldn't believe how quick they were. They did the installs, and these guys were so clean that they went ahead and drilled into the walls to put the system. They were here till 10:00 at night and that's incredible.

    I had that one system that when somebody rings a doorbell, the camera comes on and I can watch it on my smartphone. I signed a five-year contact, and that's okay. I had ADT for 22 years and it's like Disneyland compared to Knott's Berry Farm. Guardian is a lot better than and my experience with them is very good. They stay on top of things.

    Some Guardian guy came and knocked at my door. He was nice and it was convenient to sign up so I did. The guy installed the equipment and showed me how to use them. He was also supposed to install one of my garage doors and the camera for my doorbell thing, but he couldn't. Shortly after that, I had sensors falling off all the time. One of our sensors went off in the middle of the night and I thought someone broke into my house. I had five different false alarms where they called the police because they couldn't get a hold of me. Their techs came out on three separate times to reinstall the sensors and it doesn't seem like their techs know what they're doing. Also, the false alarm going off all the time made me more paranoid having the security system.

    Guardian is also not great with customer service. The only time I ever got a hold of somebody is after being on hold for 35 minutes and every time I called, somebody says they're going to have to call me back. Then it takes three days before I get a callback because apparently that's standard for them. I recently moved and about three months ago, they came and uninstalled my security system but they couldn't reinstall it on the same day. Then one time, they didn't show up on their set appointment. Another time, they called an hour before my appointment and told me the tech couldn't come. My new house is literally half a mile away from my old house and it took a month and a half for them to come and reinstall the equipment. So I had no security and I paid for that month but no one ever reached out to me about getting a refund.

    One of the biggest excuses why they couldn't get out to my house sooner was supposedly because they didn’t have a tech that's located close to my house. They said that the closest techs were two hours away, but the funny part is that there was somebody walking around in Littleton trying to get people to sign up with Guardian. I’m highly dissatisfied with them and the only reason why I would still have their system is because I'm bound to the contract I signed and I don't want to spend the money it takes to cancel, which is to pay for the equipment outright. It was a mistake to sign up with Guardian and I should have never went with them. If my contract is over, I won't be renewing. My experience has been really crappy and I would not recommend them.

Our biggest concern was we go camping a lot and I didn't want to leave my house unprotected when we're gone or out of town. But now, I feel safer leaving my house. Also, I like being able to activate and deactivate the security system from my phone. I've told several people about Guardian and the $44 a month has shied them away. Guardian is not the cheapest around but overall, I'm very well satisfied.

    I was not happy with the whole process of getting Guardian Protection Services. It was offered through the builder and when the technician came to do the installation, we found out a lot of things were left out. There are other options that we should've gotten to protect our home. I called and told them the issue but instead, got the run through of what would be suggested and how much it would. Now it's basically on me to decide on what options to get. I wish I knew beforehand because now we have to pay for them to come back and then to install the item.

    The technicians were very knowledgeable. If it wasn't for them, we wouldn't have known about the other options that we could've got installed. While the smartphone feature is awesome, I wish the quality of the hardware items that are at home was more upgraded compared to other more advanced companies that we researched. Still, it is a good system, I feel more comfortable knowing that I can activate it wherever we are. We don't necessarily have to be home. I just wished that in terms of security, it would announce which doors were being opened at the time. There are things that I will like to upgrade, but I don't know if they have it or not.

    The rep was actually great, and did her job. My mother put her on the phone with me and I gave her a hard time to start off with. We were building a house that had a fire. I got the alarm system put in and it really is good. And all the people that I've dealt with are really good. We had a test run when they were there. Then the other day I opened up the door and I thought why it was beeping and realized that it got turned off. One lady told me that I can look at the pictures and just upload the ones I wanted. And I found out yesterday that that's not the way it is. You have to upload everyone you look at. There's a couple of them that are actually on my phone but I was told yesterday any of the other ones had to be uploaded and you only have 40 uploads. I don't like the limit there.

    The kids now come and go without having to call me every second because the system tells me when they've come in and that they've locked the thing back. Everything so far has been really good with Guardian. I've sent it to a few people too. Luke will be coming back in the next week or so bringing me some more stuff. One thing that I don't like about it is that when you turn it on, if you don't have things on your windows, it's on the screen telling you that there's nothing on the windows. But he gave me some to put on the window so it's not showing up 'cause he had no way of taking it off. And then I'm buying some more.

    Reliability

    The sales rep of Guardian that went to our house was really nice. The features offered in our system were really good, too. We just had an issue with one of the sensors because when we opened the window, it broke off. So we're still trying to get it replaced. But my home's so much safer since having Guardian Protection Services and I found that they're very reliable and their products are really good. I'd definitely recommend them.

    Guardian was working with the builder. I priced other competitors and got the better bang for my bucks with Guardian. The sales rep was very knowledgeable and friendly. He walked us through the whole process of choosing which security tier we wanted in our system. And then the installer came over that afternoon and I had to show him where the security system was in the basement. He went in there and was done within an hour and a half. He showed me the app, registered me for the website and got me squared away. I had an issue with our home networking and they were able to get in contact with me the next day. They set up an appointment to have somebody come and fix it.

    Everything works great and I love using the app. My wife and I use it every day. The features are very straightforward and they make everything very easy and user-friendly. It's very convenient so I am very happy with that. Overall, I feel safe using the security system. I travel a bit and knowing that my wife is here at home by herself and have the security system puts me at ease. We also use it all the time when I and my wife leave the house.

    My mother was with Brinks all those years and they grandfathered her in for the longest time and then over the last few years they raised her services that she thought it was time to change and went with Guardian Protection Services. When she passed away, I bought the house. I've only dealt with Guardian reps once and they were very helpful. They came out to the house and showed me how to use the system and updated everything. Since the installation was already there, the only thing they did was updated my board.

    I've only had it for a month and I'm not at home all the time but I like their features very much. They function through the cell phone which is convenient for me since I don't have to have a landline. Every time somebody goes in and out, I get a text message telling me which code was used and who went in and out. So if anytime something goes, I know about it and I do like that a lot. They also have a feature where the system can be turned on and off by remote. Everything I have, I've liked so far. Their system tells me how to picture the space if I'm not there. So, I've had a great experience so far. They were very good and I've got more for my money than I got before.
