I'm satisfied overall with service but don't agree or like the unnecessary and unfair fee of not using auto pay. In addition, the fee for a service visit is too high. Those fees make me consider searching for a new alarm service.
Thank you for taking the time to share valuable feedback on your billing as we are always evaluating strategies to stay cost-effective while providing 100% U.S. based customer care and operations.

Guardian's technician is gonna be here shortly for the second time in as many days. I’m not really happy. When I wasn’t living in the house and Guardian was telling me that I had to pay even though I had no Wi-Fi and no service. They were always very happy to do that. But when I've had a problem, they wanted to tell me it’s gonna be two weeks before they come and fix it. So, I got to just listen to the alarm for that long. Again today, it went off even though the guy was here yesterday and supposedly replaced and got it fixed. Sure enough, today at 2 o’clock again today, I’m here working from home and the alarm’s blaring.
They told me the soonest they could come out would be July 21st. Then I said, “I find that to be unacceptable. You all didn’t cut me a break at all when I wasn’t living here, and I literally paid you $50 a month for zero service because I had no Wi-Fi. I had to pay you, but you have a system that isn’t working and isn’t protecting me. And you wanna just tell me it’s gonna be weeks before somebody comes.” That was the same thing they did prior to the person coming yesterday.
The gal that I spoke with on Saturday was really phenomenal. ‘Cause I had this little attitude and she was so professional and never left her smile. She said to me, “I can escalate it and somebody will phone you and try to get you in sooner.” I said thank you. I apologized to her ‘cause it wasn’t her fault. So, they called yesterday. I was at work, my husband was here and he said, “Guardian just called and they wanna send someone.” When they escalated it, they sure did respond.
Hi Ann,
I'm very sorry to hear about the repeat issues, but I'm glad your representative was able to escalate your concern and get the service call moved up. If you are still experiencing any issues please message us back here.

The main thing I am unhappy with is the monthly monitor fee. I feel $55.00 per month is excessive. I am retired and it is hard to fit that into the budget. I also find I can get security monitor service for less than 29.00 per month, In the near future I may have to switch providers due to your cost.

One of my cameras is not working. The technician from Guardian tried to troubleshoot as much as he could, but that one rear camera just would not connect. He said that it had something to do with my internet because I didn't have a permanent hookup as of yet. With the COVID-19, Verizon was only doing temporary lines so nothing was grounded. The technician told me to give him a call back once I finished everything with Verizon and they would come and do the other cameras. But the camera itself may be defective because I have two cameras, one is working but the other one is not working.
Having the Guardian Protection system is better for me because I'm a dual residence from New York and Delaware so it definitely gives me a peace of mind that when I'm not in Delaware, that I'm able to at least see the front of the house, the doorbell camera and monitor my packages. Then from my phone, I can open the garage and have a neighbor put it in there. It's really a cool feature that I like.
Thank you for taking the time to share a great customer review. It's nice to hear the security features are bringing you the additional peace of mind and if you continue to have issues with the one camera after your internet is looked at please give us a call at 1-800-PROTECT or message back here.

I spoke with a sales coordinator from Guardian and they went over all the different options with me. They also went over where things would be located. The installation was done very professionally and so far, I'm very happy with the set up and the service. I live in a gated community and having the system might be overkill. Still, it's a good feeling to be able to leave my home and set the security system. There is also the option to set the system up when I'm going to bed for the night.

I have a couple different systems with Guardian. The most recent one I had is 10 years old and it needed to be replaced because the time is not being kept on it. It got resolved. Other than this most recent thing, I called Guardian the night before and told them there’s a problem. I knew there was a problem because my phones went down. So, obviously, that meant the thing would kick out, that it can’t get contact. Then, the rep called me at 4:30 in the morning to tell me that -- guess what? They’re not communicating with them. I said, “Yeah, I know that. I told you that at 7:30 last night.” Other than that incident, it’s all good.

I was thinking Guardian Protection is the best protection I can have in the house because I saw the warden use it and they know better. I'm very satisfied with it. Everything works perfectly. Everything is fine. I will absolutely recommend the service. In the beginning they told me they don’t have a customer service working in the area and they found one. He was a very nice, Spanish guy.

We had a free standard doorbell when we bought the house and Guardian put that in. This is a winter home that we have in Florida. This past April, we had cameras installed. We went full blast with Guardian after that. The quality of their equipment was fine and the technician that installed it was excellent. He explained everything to us step by step and then he went over it again on how to activate and deactivate it.

Guardian seemed too good to be true when I first contacted them, and their customer set-up (Sales) team was excellent. But everything since then has been one step short of that, and while each of the things that wasn't so great is insignificant by itself, they start to add up to a sense that this company is more talk than action when it comes to customer service.
The installer was grumpy and difficult at first, and then did a mediocre job that required ANOTHER installer to come back the next weekend to fully activate the system. One of our glass break detectors keeps going offline, setting off a warning alarm at varying times of the day - and night. This is four months into our time with Guardian. And the company charges $2 extra per month for a paper bill, but won't allow me to go paperless without also forcing me to enroll in autopay. That's a rinky-dink way to do business.
So, in all, the system is good, the control pad is the best I've used (although I've only ever used two other companies, and the technology has improved in the 7 years since I last installed a different system). But I bet I (and you) can find a company who's monitoring service is at least as good AND who is committed to excellent customer service. Which is too bad, because the sales experience was excellent...
Thank you for providing helpful feedback on your customer experience. I've located your account and will send this along to the installation supervisor for coaching purposes. I will also have customer care reach out to help with the falsing motion detector.

Guardian did my surround sound and initial security system that I signed up for in the house. So far, it’s been great. The reps have been very professional and any time I call them they’ve been very, very attentive and responsive. But when I signed up for this security camera I expected they would be able to provide a wider range. I notice when I’m looking at the camera I can’t see that much on the right side of my house. Also if somebody came to my door there should be a video for me to go back and look at specifically who came to my door. I get a notification, email a or texts a lot that a motion was detected but that’s about it. But they're doing a good job for me. I’ve been getting the service that I need.

We had one previous provider and Guardian seems to respond a lot better. In fact, that’s the reason why we moved. The previous company that we had wasn’t responding to any of our service calls. Other houses in the neighborhood have Guardian and it was references from other people that led me to choose Guardian. In fact, we had them out just last weekend for an issue. Then about a month ago, we did some remodeling in our house and we needed to change some zones, and they seemed to be very responsive. The last time the tech was out here, he also suggested a carbon monoxide detector that could be hooked right into our current hardwired system, which I went for, and I was pleased with that. Now, I don’t have to worry about all these plugged-in systems around the house. The whole thing also took maybe five minutes for him to install.

I've had Guardian Protection since October 2016 and called for services to our home throughout the years with no issues until mid-2019. A technician came to our home and took longer than average to do the service. I was excessively billed $580.88 for his incompetent service. I tried to resolve my complaint several times by asking that they reduce the cost for someone who seemed not to be skilled in what he does. Guardian Protection was willing to reduce the cost by waiving $150.00; however, in order to receive the waiver for the "poor service" I got, I must accept additional two year to our existing agreement. This clearly shows that they were willing to reduce the cost but tried to force me to extend the agreement for my complaint. I was not pleased and paid for the bill in full without my complaint ever being heard or considered.

We bought our house in 2017 and we transfer our alarm system from our previous address in where we had live for 1 year. We have been with the company for a total of 4 years and the system works as advertise. Now I am moving to a state where they don't provide service, and they want me to pay them to cancel my contract. Why I have to pay for the fact that you guys are not a nationwide company? Now they say they want $750.00 to cancel the contract! I would not ever recommend this company!! STOP this businesses model and learn about CUSTOMER SATISFACTION.

I had an issue with one of my freebies. Guardian put in a keypad door lock and it quit working. Somebody came out and said it would cost $100 to fix and that didn’t suit us. It just never got fixed and I'm disappointed in that. But everything else has been fine. Guardian is quickly responsive and helpful. I like them better than the previous system I had. I like that when the doorbell rings, I'm alerted on my phone. The fire alarm has gone off a couple of times and I'm warned on my phone. That’s my favorite feature.

When I first moved in, the guy came out and went through some stuff. We had an extra person living here for a few months and I didn't want that person to have the code, so I thought I would not use the system for a few months, which was fine, and I paid the bill. When this person moved out of the house and I wanted to start using Guardian Protection, I couldn't remember what the codes or how to do it. I called them a number of times, and I wrote them even on a bill saying to send me a pamphlet or something that would help and nothing was ever sent. They sent something through an email, but I couldn't access it ‘cause I couldn't print it out. There were so many pages and I don’t have a printer at home.
Then I had Bose speakers installed when the house was built. There were four different stations in my house, so four different units that I had set up, and I could control it through an app on the phone. It worked for a few months then it went out. I called Guardian. The guy came out, spent a couple of hours fixing it and got it back up working. A couple of months later, it went out again. The guy came out and he was instructed to send it back to the company. Then it took about five months before they called to bring it back. They reinstalled it and it worked for two or three months.
The speakers went out again. By this time, I’m not even used to having it, and these things were expensive. The guy came out and tried to fix it but he wasn't able to. Then they called and said that they would send it back to the company again. It was gone for a few more months. This last guy who came back out to install it said that it didn’t make sense if all the units went out at one time since they all have separate wiring. He traced it back to the box. There's a switch there that goes on and off and he said that there's something wrong with that. He redid all the wiring. The units are working right now, but he suggested that they come out and exchange that panel that has the switches. He gave it a different name to something that he thought would work better because obviously, the problem is coming from one place. He checked everything and said that they would call me within a few days.
Well, that’s been over a week and nobody’s called to set up an appointment to come out and check that. Probably within another month or two, the units will go out again, and at some point, they're gonna say that I have to pay for it and these haven't worked. I’ve gotten probably less than seven months’ use out of these things total, and I’ve been here almost two years. Then some of my friends are now building retirement homes and they have Guardian in them. If they're in here and they hear the speakers are great, they'll ask if I would recommend that, I'd say no. I have shut down a number of people that were planning on getting this system.
The people that came out here from Guardian seemed to really wanna solve the problem, except for this last guy. He seemed to see something different that actually made sense to me, but yet, they haven't called to make an appointment to come do what his suggestion was. I’d still like to use the system. I’ve been paying for it for the protection, ‘cause I don’t want another company. It's already wired for Guardian. All I want is to have a pamphlet or some booklet they could send me. And if they sent me this thing on the email, why don’t they print it out instead and send it to me? Because the way my eyes are, I can’t sit there. I underline stuff and make notes so if I had something, even if it was this 70-some-paged thing, I can still go through it and make notes and read it. I don’t know why they can’t be bothered.

The experience I had with their team has been great so far. But Guardian is a bit expensive. When we got the door lock installed, it was cheaper if I went to Lowe’s and buy it there than getting it from Guardian. They should offer customers that had their system some type of discount if they wanna upgrade. If something new comes out, they should offer it to current customers for like 50% off. That’ll be a good incentive to have people stay with them, because right now, with all the new technology that’s coming out and these new security companies, they’ll be eager to switch soon as their contract run out.

We said we were missing a piece and she said they'd set me up with a service call. But that wouldn’t be until a week later. Also, I asked if there was a charge and she said it was $115. I said it was ridiculous. She said she could send us the piece and I said to just do that but she couldn't wait to get off the phone. She wasn't helpful. I called the second time about the two-sided sticky stuff that was on the sensor that was not there and I got a rep named Hailey. She was more than helpful and was the nicest person. She said she could send those out. She sent us enough for the sensor and the magnet that we had and we got them very quickly. That was a Saturday and they came on Tuesday. The magnet came not until Thursday.
Also, when I was on the phone with Hailey, I told her that we told the first lady we couldn’t set the alarm because it was saying ‘Not Ready', she walked me through how to buy pairs and told me which sensors they were. That was fine because then, we could set the alarm. After I talked to her and I did it a couple of times, I looked down at the information at the front of the thing. And it tells you how. But we had never had to do that before. Hailey was very calm and she couldn’t do enough for me. I appreciated that because, after the first call, we were all set.

We set up our protection service in 2016. The contractor that came to do the install told us we had to sign a contract. We signed one with Skyline and one with Guardian. I’m not sure who Skyline was but the contract we signed the installer told us was for two years and yes the first one was but the second was for 60 months. We just figured it was the same as the first, our bad. I remember I asked 2 times though and he said for 2 years. So my husband signed both. We moved 4 years later and I come to learn we have to pay for another year that I don’t live in the house. The guy I spoke with was rude, we could not get out of contract. They write the term of contract not at the top to be visible, have 2 contracts to sign and have a long period that you are liable for.
Their security system sucks. We had the alarm go off several times in Justice, more than 10 times and it would be on for 2 minutes and no phone call to check if there was anything wrong. Never really knew if it worked. The keypad worked until it became frozen with every time the electricity was out because of bad weather and if I called them they threatened with a service fee so my husband would have to reset it. I will never do business with them. They are scammers. A good company has 1 contract and has nothing to hide and is reliable and that’s how they keep their customers. They keep their customers locked in a contract to make money. They are not worth the price. They charge for no service. Basically a rental fee.

For instance, if they have a package, I can speak to them through my cellphone and tell them where to put it or whatever it is I need to speak to them about. Plus, it was gonna come out to the same cost in the long run if I gave up my home telephone and just use my cellphone. I didn't do that though and I kept my home telephone charge 'cause I don't like talking on a cellphone. I prefer a landline. Then I texted them that I wanna put the app on my phone but I got no answer and it had been a week already.
There are nights that I'm so tired that I forget to put the alarm on, lock the doors and just go to bed. But they notify me by a text message and that makes me more vigilant and pushes me on my toes to make sure I put the system on.

I’m glad I have my Guardian system for peace of mind. It’s a quality product. I have the alarm and Dole thermostats, which are the two main features I use. I like that you can set it up and put it on a schedule. If I go away, I can turn it down and put it on hold. Then, sometimes, I check the garage door using my smartphone to make sure that it’s closed.

I've been with Guardian for 10 years or more and they've always given me very good service. Every time I call, the reps are always more than happy to help me and they check my system for me. I've never had any problems. I like most about Guardian because it's a simple system. I am 81 years old and so, I don't have to worry about how to work it. One of the sensors on our door didn't work anymore and I called them. The technicians were out the next day and fixed it.

Numerous issues with Guardian over several encounters with them. Started with the first service where technician did not have equipment I requested and refused to connect garage door to our account. Was told to call customer service who needed to do it. When I called customer service, was told tech needed to do work.
Second appointment was scheduled to install device missing from first visit and the garage door. Appointment was scheduled for a Thursday between 1-4. Called at 3:45pm and was told technician was running late but would be there in the early evening. Called back at 5:30 only to be told I didn’t actually have an appointment despite having received a confirmation email and voicemail earlier that week. Appointment was rescheduled for Saturday morning.
Technician came out and installed fire alarm and got garage doors working, or so we thought. Although tech tested garage addition from our phone, he did not test from panel or car clickers. After he left, we went to leave the house but discovered we could not shut our garage door and none of the devices were working. Called back and was told tech might have time to come back but probably not until Monday. My husband ended up researching and fixing the issue but Guardian finds it acceptable to have my garage door open to public for 48 hours.
This was nothing compared to the fire alarm not working a week later. Our carbon monoxide detectors went off this past Saturday evening but luckily for me, I just had Guardian install an alarm that was supposed to call the fire department if the fire or carbon monoxide detectors went off. False, they surprise didn’t do the job right. I had to call three times to finally get ahold of someone to call the fire department. It’s 35 degrees outside with a four-year-old and small dog. Now the earliest appointment I can get to fix this issue is a week and a half away. The kicker is I called to speak to a manager and was basically told, “well what do you want me to do about it?” Let’s see, first off an apology for the series of events would be great. Then try some real customer service.

Before using Guardian Protection, I used two different home security systems, one of which was Protection 1. The Guardian system that I have now is better. The only thing that ticked me off was I was still under contract with Protection 1, and Chris, who was the salesman, told me, “Well, if you are, we’ll go ahead and pay what you owe off.” After that, I never saw him again or heard from him, and I end up paying $1,000 -- it was not that I couldn’t afford it. When I contacted Guardian, he wasn't working there anymore.
But I had some new stuff put in because my smoke detector wasn’t hooked up to the system and it kept beeping. I’ve got vaulted ceilings here and it’s right at the top. I’d had to get a ladder that was 15-foot tall in order to get up there. And I had changed it once, a couple years ago, but a little bit younger then and I did not feel like climbing up ladders. So, I had called Guardian, had them put in a new smoke detector which is hooked up to my panel, and it’s at a place where if the battery needs to be changed, I can just get on a stool and take it off.
But they also put in a carbon dioxide checker too. And they put that where if there was carbon monoxide in the house from my heater or something, it would show up. And I’ve never had a problem with carbon monoxide, but you cannot take a chance. So, I had them put it in. It was expensive, but I could afford it. I knew it was gonna cost me because they told me ahead of time what it was gonna cost, which was okay. When they put the system in, they didn’t charge me anything. It was one of those advertisement things where they come around all the time. All you have to do is pay the first payments and that is it, which is fine.
So, now, if something happens where I got smoke and it sets the alarm off, I can go to the panel and put my code in and have the thing shut off because I have had smoke in here one time. I had oil in a cast-iron frying pan and I was curing it, so I had it on fire under it. And I forgot about it and went to the bedroom, and I was talking to my wife. So, all of a sudden, the siren goes off and I came running in there and the house was full of smoke. I then went ahead and opened the doors and everything else and tried to shut the thing off. It took me a couple of times before there was no smoke.
I called up Protection 1 and told them, “I just had a little problem with smoke on my stove.” My wife said, “Everything’s taken care of. Please, don’t send anybody out.” The fire department come over, however, and parked out in front of my house, and I told them what happened. Overall, Guardian has been good. If I’ve had something wrong, they’d come out and fix it. Also, the guy who did the installation did a good job and he took care of business. He was very pleasant to talk to as well.

With our Guardian system, I had been in the home several months without my husband being present, and I had a total sense of security. I have used a different security system, and Guardian is a much greater value. We have more security coverage with Guardian than with the previous security system. Prior to purchasing our home, the sales representative actually came to a center where I was reviewing some materials that I wanted to include in my home. He was willing to come and meet me there on my schedule and discuss the system with me.
The installation was very easy. We use a wireless system, so it didn't take a lot of time at all. There are no noticeable drilling or damage to walls, and there are no wires showing anywhere, so it was a very quick and painless, and clean installation. The technician was very friendly and very knowledgeable about what he was doing. Guardian offered a comprehensive system. It's got window monitoring, motion detector, door monitoring, and camera for the home, so I thought it was very complete and extensive. And it has excellent quality. The function has been perfect, too. The smartphone features are also very convenient and easy to use.

I told him that one works. I don’t have any problem with that one. And he said, “Yeah. We would've known if you did. But right now, that’s it. That’s all I can do.” So, he left.
Then I got a bill for $185 for something he spent less than three minutes in the house, and that pissed me off. I called up and then someone said they'd lower it to 105.

Since we moved in in 2008, we've had Guardian in our home. I should have asked more people about security systems before we had it implemented. We have the motion detectors as well. The alarms are only by the front door and the garage door. So if you set the alarm, when you get up in the morning, you have to immediately go to one of those to turn the alarm off. And what friends have been telling me is that they put the panel in their bedroom so they can just turn it off from there before they start walking through the house. I’ve not contacted Guardian to verify that, but that was the way that I understood it when they originally explained it. The installers could have made that one recommendation, but they were very good about explaining how to use it. Also, the system is straightforward.

My son had gotten Guardian, and when my husband died, my son felt better with me living alone with Guardian. When I had it first installed, they couldn’t find a spot. I have a cinder block house and they called it a fortress. I had a room added on and the addition that I put on was not cinder block, so they moved the things to that wall and it was better. I’d wanted it to another place while they were installing it but where it is now is great.
My experience with Guardian Protection has been great as well. It’s easy to set the alarm and to turn it off. And I like the fob that comes with it. I use that a lot and I also have a necklace that I wear for in case I fall. But the cost has increased and I don’t much care for that. You’ve got all these SimpliSafe and another one that are a lot cheaper, so I don’t like that the price is going up. Other than that, I have a wooden trash can that my trash sits in. It has a wood lid on it and every once in a while, the lid falls down. When I go to shut it, it comes out of my hands and that will set off glass breakage. So, I just have to go to where the alarm thing is on the wall, wait until somebody comes on and wants to know if there’s a problem, and say that my trash can lid fell down.

I used Guardian when I lived in Dallas. I was there almost 2 years. Everything has been great up until December....BUYER BEWARE. I sold my condo, moved out of state, I now live in Denver (which is not an area they service). I'm now being informed that I will be required to pay FOR THE NEXT 3+ YEARS which is over $1600. This is insane. None of the customer service reps are helpful and I am now going to have to pay $1600 for a service I'm no longer using and cannot use. I don't know what kind of person thought this business model was a good one, but this is TERRIBLE customer service. I am SHOCKED and not in a good way. $1600 may not be a lot of money to some people, but it's a lot of money to me. STEER CLEAR AND PAY MORE FOR A DIFFERENT COMPANY WHO WON'T LOCK YOU INTO AN INSANE CONTRACT.
Hi Myranda,
Thank you for taking the time to share feedback on your customer experience as it will help us refine processes. The agreed-upon months when signing the contract helps us recoup the investment in the equipment installed or upgraded on a security system so if the agreement is not fulfilled there is an early termination fee. I understand Debbie V has reached out to you and offered to help reduce the buyout amount for you as a sign of goodwill. Please give her a call back if we can be of further assistance.

We had another home security system before, but we are happy with Guardian. The system works well. I have the little remote black buttons that I push, and I only have one that is working now. They had given me a couple and I don’t know if I order them from Guardian or what. The other one is not functioning, so my wife doesn’t have one now that works -- maybe it is the batteries. We have put a box on the outside, but I’m not positive I remember the digital code for my system now. If I have somebody that comes through and we know, we would like to be able to use the code to turn off the system rather than just the little black button.

There has been a couple things when I would call about how to either access a monthly test or how to do it or to have the door chimes or the window chimes to alert, and the customer service has been very helpful in getting all that set up. There was also a situation where we had a power outage over a year ago for about 72 hours and that kinda killed one of the back-up batteries. When that died, I had to use the service personnel to figure out how to remedy that, and we figured it out together. I’m perfectly satisfied with Guardian.

Guardian Protection is good to have, but where we’re at, we don’t really need it. We don’t use it enough and we were forced to keep it because we renewed it around 2016. We didn’t know we were moving when my wife renewed it. We had a little bit of problems but those were taken care of, and Guardian's not bad. Their price could be a little bit better though. For $50 a month, if we were gonna get an alarm system, there’s elsewhere that's less expensive.

I’ve had Guardian for 12 years now. They’re good. Whenever your alarm goes off, they call you within five seconds. I pay it once a year, so they gave me a good deal where they keep the price the same every year if I pay it in full. Only, we’ve had this for so long and it’s so outdated. We wanna get an upgrade and I’d like to get the wireless. Also, I used to have the key fob where you just push on and off, and that broke so I need another one. My brother has Guardian and he can set his alarm and everything from his phone. I like what he has.

I have called the customer service two or three times before. There was one occasion where I did not like it. My battery was replaced twice in the last three years. I didn’t think that it needed so fast to be replaced. But the good thing was every time I called, it was quickly handled, and they gave me the battery. But I didn’t like that I was charged for the battery. This is a new house and Guardian came and set up the alarm system. It was a good offer at the time, so I signed up. But now that three years have passed, I’m looking into the market. There seems to be a cheaper ADT providing security services for the same amount of service that I’m taking from Guardian. If I compare what I’m getting to what others are providing in the neighborhood, I think I’m paying a little bit more.
Hi Ashish,
Thank you for taking the time to share helpful feedback on your customer experience. Batteries are consumable items that need replacing every so often so we do charge for the batteries; if we can help look into a cheaper solution for you please let me know, I will set up a call for you with our customer loyalty team.

Guardian's sales rep gave me some options when he came out and told me more about the company. He gave me pricing information and told me about the monitoring process. He was wonderful. I had another probe, and the providers are pretty similar overall, but Guardian might have been a little cheaper. And though very limited, the interactions I had with their customer service team were positive. The quality of the system is good and I definitely feel more secure having it in my home.

I have a home that was being built new and Guardian was the recommended security system company by the builder. Installation was done before we moved in and the quality of the equipment used is fine. I only hope video is available or added. But I can arm it and disarm it and it's great. I'm just not happy they locked us into the long-term contract. If we choose to go with someone else, we have to pay off the whole term of the contract so there’s no really cancellation end with that. Other than that, they’ve been very good to deal with. We’ve had a couple of issues that came and they’ve been very good at resolving them. We had a cooking thing that set off the alarm, and they disabled it for a couple of hours until we could get the smoke out of the building.

I have a young son and Guardian was offered as a package when building my house, so it just made sense to go ahead and do it. Setting it up was all through the builder because they went ahead and wired it, but the tech that came out and installed everything was great. He was super nice, took his time and let me know all the information. I felt very at ease with the whole system after he left. Also, the system's amenities are great. The app is good and it's easy to use. It makes sense. There are not a lot of updates and it doesn’t seem to stall out. It’s nice having it for my phone. I feel more secure.

The contractor just came out and redid everything because the system that I had before was the older one. So, this is more like a newer service and I’m pleased with it. I like this one better because I can do things from my phone which I wasn’t able to do with the other one. I can turn it on and off from wherever I am, and that was a good thing. I had some problems with the system going off when I wasn’t at home, but then I was able to turn it off, and the reps would always call me to let me know. I’m very secured.
