I had a different home security system then I switched to Guardian and I like it. Everything has been explained to me but I'm supposed to call them a month for them to show me how to work it. They have given me the number but I haven't called them yet. Other than that, I've had Guardian for about a year and a half and I am satisfied.

I have had Guardian Protection Services home security/ fire/ carbon monoxide alarms systems since 2013. On September 16, 2019, I called Guardian Protection Service to inquire about service coverage as a result a fire occurred at my property on September 11, 2019 account. I, the homeowner, was away in Europe for travel. I nor my designated family members received any notification of a fire at the property. The first communication with your representative informed that I did not have monitoring service rendered by Guardian Protection Services since May 17, 2019 and that no notification to the fire department occurred September 11, 2019 from their entity.
This scenario of disconnection of monitoring service for the mentioned property is misleading as there have been constant month on month billing for security services since May 2019 to date and the representative informed that all month on month billing since May 2019 has been paid. She then proceed to say billing was TURNED on in error. I asserted that this is not an error as this misleads me to believe I had coverage and monitoring services. No notices were sent that I needed to reinstate service, apply for a new contract, or refunds for payments as monitoring service was discontinued.
The billing without coverage/monitoring/ service is misleading in that there is an account number associated with the billing each month. I received billing in the form of mail and email. I can access Guardian Protection Services website account billing to pay for services according to billing notifications. Therefore, no error has been performed but false representation of services and misleading a consumer in unfair practices. This practice of billing lasted for months and there is no indication that this would have stopped or I ,the consumer, would have been notified of this issue, refund issued, or clear communication to reinstate services is necessary.
I have asked that this matter be escalated for arbitration with Guardian and have received coercing e-mails/ communications threatening to cut off services that were not instated properly since May 2019. Guardian refuses to address the evidence of their negligence even when they requested to see reports of the fire. Now all my calls have to go through A credit manager and she has not addressed any of my concerns and acts as an agent to issue out ultimatum communications of ceasing services (that are not instated since May 2019 due to Guardian negligence) and that billing was not applied after I reported this negligence. However, Guardian Protection Services continued to bill me from Sept. 2019 - Dec. 2019.
Over the past months, I have continued to receive mistreatment from Guardian with the latest regarding being kept from a legible copy of my contract signed. They informed me that the Loyalty Department can explain the contract, but not provide me a clear copy. Now I have been told I am not allowed to know my terms from the contract unless the credit manager supplies this. She has not returned any of my calls since September 2019 and provides nothing in the form of e-mail to address my issues escalated to Guardian Protection Services.
To date, a current list of negligence Guardian Protection Services performed for account:
1. Billing without monitoring services May 2019 -Sept 2019.2. Failure to correct billing negligence or inform customer of the occurrence.
3. Failure to notify the fire department of fire Sept 2019 or back up contacts on the 2017 contract.
4. Failure to address negligence reported 9/16/2019 and issuance or coercing/ ultimatum communications to reactivate monitoring. In addition, reactivation of monitoring outside of protocol.
5. Sending coercing/ ultimatum e-mails insisting billing had ceased since Sept. 16, 2019, but there was billing in the amounts $212.64 and $205.20. Then removing billing without addressing the customer concerns Jan 02/2020.
6. Negligence to provide a clear copy of 2017 contract and thwarting consumer to have access to this information without the credit manager’s consent.

I had ADT and then Guardian came with the house when I bought it so I stuck with it. I've been with them for a long time now and the representatives are great. They are really helpful. Anytime I have a question, I can call them and they answer it and resolve my problem. Also, I like customer service. When we turn on our alarm and it goes off, but we are doing something else outside and don’t hear it going off, and then when we come in the house, they would be like, “Hello, hello, are you there?” I like how they can interact with us through the system. The quality of the equipment is good because I haven’t had any trouble. I love the system and I wouldn’t trade it for anything else. I feel safer with it. And, I would even tell other people that Guardian is the best choice.

The builder set up the appointment with Guardian so they told us that we have to see them then they gave us a date. When we went there during the meeting, the reps seemed fine. They said we can get a vacuum and all that set up as well with them, and they told us about this surround sounds. All of it was okay at first. And then, when they set up the house, they didn't even show us how to operate things. We have to call them about the vacuum as well. So, we have to follow up everything afterwards. Also, the features offered were a little bit high. We're paying 45.99 or $45 a month. We had this incident wherein we opened the door, then we were expecting a call from the Guardian but it never happened. So, we don't know if they are really monitoring us because it happened several times but we never got even a single call.

A friend of mine suggested Guardian. The system works well. The only issue I’ve had has been the little fob that you can use manually. It’s to attach to my keychain and the little tab broke off. So now, I have to try to take care of not losing the thing and keeping it loose in my pocket. So, occasionally, it disappears for a few days and I would find it again. We don’t use the app to set the system on our phones. For some reason, we never got around to doing that. But it would be a nice thing that we might even try to do again. We're pretty happy with the system.

The company sold me equipment that didn’t work from day 1 of installation. I’d call and go through the recommendations and no solution. Now, after the product is out of warranty, they suggest it needs replaced. So they want me to pay out of pocket for more equipment that never worked in the first place. Thus, I wanted to cancel my contract since Guardian is not providing adequate service, a breach of their contract. Yet they insist I pay $750 early termination fee, EVEN THOUGH IT'S THEIR EQUIPMENT THAT ISN'T WORKING AND THEIR SERVICE DEPARTMENT THAT ISN'T FIXING IT PROPERLY!

I've upgraded my Guardian system about three times over the last 12 years, with adding cameras and stuff like that, and I've had no issues. A couple of times, they even had some technical things and I'm a technical person myself, and it's worked out well. I had somebody come out twice and both times, they were excellent representatives of their company.
I've had my equipment for about five years now and everything is still holding up. I know nothing is gonna last forever, but I have gotten my money’s worth. One thing that they don’t offer is like a protection for your cameras. So, they'll sell you the equipment and install the equipment, but in the event that your equipment breaks, they don’t have any kind of mechanism to cover that. And the stuff is not cheap. It might be $300 or $400 for one camera. I was kinda surprised that they didn’t offer that. I don't know if other people do, but it seems like that would be something that they would wanna consider. Other than that, I have an iPhone 7, and we do have their app installed and it works very well. I was ADT and it also was a good company. And I don’t think I've lost anything by going to Guardian.

Guardian was my best option. There was one through the builder and couple other options that were sent to the mail but I had heard good things about Guardian so we ended up going with them. Guardian's customer service has been phenomenal due to its simplicity and ease. I’ve never had an issue with any type of rudeness.
The installation was done when the house was built. That was one of our options. We wanted the system in, and we wanted everything wired and Guardian was the one that we went with for everything because they have the wireless set up. So, if there was any type of ground line or anything they were trying to cut, you still had monitoring and alert systems. When Guardian came out to do their set up on the system, I got the walk through on everything. One time, they came out because we had to do an adjustment on one of the door sensors, but that was a simple adjustment. We’ve only had them out like a few times over the number of years we’ve been with them. The security equipment is a simple interface. As soon as you know how to use it, it’s pretty simple to navigate through. With Guardian, I can see exactly how many times whatever doors been opened. I’m extremely happy with it as a product.

There is a lady that lives in the block and she has the Guardian sign in front of her home, and we went there and asked her. She gave out all the information. She said Guardian is good. Then I said, “Okay, let me give it a try.” And so far, so good. The installation was pretty good. The installers were very professional. When one of the things that is on the window wasn’t working, I called and asked to speak to a supervisor and then right away they sent someone. The problem was solved. That’s why I don’t want to leave Guardian because we don’t have a problem. There are a lot of people that come in and ring the doorbell and say, “I’m gonna give you a better price.” I’m not interested about a better price. I’m interested about the service that I’m getting now.

Everything's okay. The batteries are all running out but I've learned how to use it. I was very annoyed that I got charged $50 for a service call because their video online showed incorrectly how to change the battery. I had to have a service call which was sort of ridiculous because what I would’ve had to have done is slide it as opposed to trying to lift it off like it showed in the thing. But the tech was great.

Worst security service on the market. Equipment is unreliable, customer service is non-existent unless you owe them money. Twice I set off the smoke detectors and called right away to cancel the call. Both times the fire department showed up because Guardian never cancelled the call. Throughout the time I was under their spell, I frequently received robo calls at 8:30 Sunday mornings to remind me of some unimportant function or give a recap of past activities. After two years of trying to communicate with a human, I disconnected the system. Now I got recurring robo calls to tell me the system would not communicate. I called several times but only reached voice mail. No one ever returned my calls. I even left messages on their website contact section and never heard back from that either.
Then I moved across town and finally was able to contact a human to have the service moved to the new location. They told me that they no longer offered service in my area and could not move the system. Ok, so I guess I need to cancel the service. Not so easy. Only if I paid a $750 early termination fee, even though the termination was their doing. There was no negotiations. Their account techs used strong arm tactics, refused to cancel the monitoring and continued to bill for months. I would NOT recommend Guardian for anything and I’m surprised this sham is still in business.

Guardian Protection's customer service reps are consistent, knowledgeable and polite. They all say the same things and ask the same questions. They're able to transfer me to another department if needed. When we have maintenance issues, they have been quick to respond. An alarm can go sounding off for one second and they'd be calling. When we're gone, we're gone most of the day. The system usually doesn't go off, but if it does, they call instantly. We have a keypad downstairs by our door as well as window and door sensors. We experienced a sensor falling off the window in the summertime, when people open and shut, open and shut. Other than that, we haven't had any malfunctions. Moreover, the bill is affordable.

The Guardian Protection rep was very personable. They told me things that were relevant to me. I like what they had to say as well as the pricing. My husband has MS, and at certain times of the day, he’s there by himself. They told me the features that would be beneficial towards him so that I wouldn’t have to wonder or worry about him getting hurt or somebody breaking in on us and him panicking. He has the one that you wear around the neck instead of the arms. We also have the panel that has the things we use on it and rather than a button. He could just reach over there, touch the screen, and it comes up on my phone every time he opens the door.
The installation went fantastically. We had little problems with the doorbell camera at first, but the installer came back out and redid everything. He uninstalled it and reinstalled it as new. He thinks we had a power outage where we lost internet connection, so it disconnected from the internet. We have an error that says that the LG has not been communicating with it and we don’t know how to fix that. They tried to walk me through it but I didn't have a computer and just had my phone, so I couldn't go to their website and do anything. Other than that, everything has been fantastic and the technicians have been awesome.

Guardian’s more expensive compared to other ones I had, and unfortunately, I’m hooked into them for five years so I have to stay with them for another two and a half years. Also, I don’t think their reps told me everything. They were just trying to sell me everything. And if I had to do it over again with what I know, I wouldn’t have used Guardian. In my prior services, they covered all the windows. With Guardian, they don’t do all the windows. You gotta pay extra if you want all the windows done. They covered the doors and they put a motion detector in and then they covered two windows in our master bedroom. That was it. But the smartphone features are good. I like that.
Overall, my experience has been average. I had a problem with one of the alarms, and in order for them to come out and fix it, I had to pay extra. If I’m paying for coverage, I don’t understand why I had to pay extra for them to fix the problem. I’m here for two and a half years, and the problem was with the smoke detector. It stopped working. It turned out there was something loose in it, therefore, it was signaling that there was a problem in the house with the smoke detector.

I was very displeased with the company that we had prior to Guardian. They changed their names five different times the time that we were with them and we had a lot of issues that I just did not care for. It was time for them to go. I looked through several companies, but I have friends that have Guardian and I checked them out, and I was more pleased with Guardian than the others. They had such good reputation. I checked them out, went through Better Business Bureau and they had a good high rating.

We had a false alarm a couple of Thanksgivings ago and everybody showed up anyway even though we were trying to tell Guardian not to. The system worked too well. The only thing that I didn't care a whole lot for is that two smoke detectors are battery operated. I had all five doors hardwired, but at the time they didn't have hard wires for the smoke detectors. I told them that I like to have the hard wires instead, but we have not gotten around to that. Also, I thought the battery in the system had to be changed every year, and I had a concern when I wanted to change it. I found out it will tell you when it needs to be changed. And then they put a trouble alert in and we found out they were labeled wrong, which was no big deal to me either if it was upstairs or downstairs. But they made an appointment, came out and changed it in the program. And they were gone 15 minutes.

I like the security system. I also like that I have it on the phone. I can turn the alarm system on and off through my phone. I had a domestic violence incident a couple of weeks ago, and a technician came out and fixed an issue that took place during that time. He helped me sought out the Duress Alert app on my phone and how to work the system a lot better. He also helped me reset my password to become safer and he showed me how I can press the Duress on my phone if I can’t call through the keypads.

Up til recently I was very satisfied with Guardian I recommend to friends and family. Recently I had my detector replaced. I asked the rep over the phone would there be a fee for the replacement. He put me on a brief hold and on return he said probably not. The technician replaced the unit and before leaving I sighed that the work was completed and again there was no mention of a charge. I went on the rep's response that There was no fee involved. About 2 weeks later I received a bill for $275.32 for a 5-20 minute installation. I was totally shocked I called customer service thinking this would be rectified but to no satisfaction. Ive been a customer for several years and have been very satisfied up to this point, loyal customers should not be blindsided when it comes to something of this nature. Had I been told prior to the outcome would have been different???
Hi Sherry,
Thank you for being a long-time customer of Guardian Protection! We appreciate your business and feedback very much as it will help us look further into our customer quoting processes. Our calls are recorded for quality purposes and your phone call was reviewed: the CSR who scheduled quoted Copay and "time and material". You stated there was a sticker in the CO that said replace by March 2019 and you were aware it was at its end of life. The CSR advised if it was due to end of life, copay wouldn’t apply and full time and material rates would apply. I do see that we offered a partial credit due to the misunderstanding.

Guardian had a decent price. My wife uses the app more than I do, but I know we could be 30 miles from the house and we could set the alarm and unset it. So, it's a good feature. Guardian still has some glitches in the system. We had problems and we had to call them out and they had to redo the system, but they did take care of it, and now, it works okay. And before they leave, they should test their equipment. The first guy that installed the equipment spent almost zero time with us explaining the system. But I told the next guy that came out, "I'm 64. I don't have a clue about new technology." So, he sat us down and he went through it step-by-step where we could understand it as older people.

The neighborhood that I live in is a fairly new development, and the majority of people here have Guardian for their. I liked what they did better than ADT. I have a friend that has ADT and he was telling me why I should go with ADT. I talked with them and I talked with Guardian, and Guardian was much easier to work with. We bought a house and had an older alarm system unit. When Guardian came out to make all the proper connections, they walked us through every step of how to use the panel. I stood with the guy while he went over everything and he was explaining to me what he was doing and why, then explained how to work the system from nuts to bolts. And we've subsequently had them come back and install CO detectors.
We've had a question recently when we had a relative here over the Thanksgiving holiday that had brought a dog along. So when we left the house, I knew that I couldn't set the regular alarm. I called Guardian and they walked me through what was the right setting to go and there's an example. They've always been very courteous. We have an older pad but it functions absolutely fine. And it does everything we needed to do. We had a problem early on with some batteries and breaking glass detectors, and they told me exactly what to do and I did it and it's working fine.

Guardian is much superior than the other provider that I've used in the past. Their tech seemed very capable. I needed a strobe put in because I have a hearing problem, and he haven't done that before, but he sat and figured it out and got it in just fine. He had to order the strobe light and come back a second day. They don't carry them. I happen to live in a town that has a lot of elderly and disabled people as well as the state's school for the deaf. So given the demographics here, there are people who would use the strobe light. And if they realized they had it, they would probably want it. But other than that, it was a very professional, polite, and pleasant interaction.
I am in a wheelchair, and I have mobility and physical issues, and I also have hearing problems. I like the fact that I can take the panel from room to room with me and have it at hand where I can deal with it instead of having it up. The system I had before was on the wall and I had to stand up out of my wheelchair and reach above me to use it, which was quite inconvenient. But with Guardian, it's wherever I need it to be. I can also do the same way with the strobe and siren system, which is a little plug-in thing that goes into the wall like your system.
The other system that I had would announce whenever there was a tornado warning for my particular area. There was a kind of a beeping tone that would come across to let me know, and a message that appeared on the screen that there was a tornado within my area. I needed to be aware of that as a safety feature. I do miss that and I wish Guardian does that too. Also, I really wish there was a manual that came with it. I have a great deal of difficulty figuring things out by guess and by gosh, and I'm very good with electronics. I wish it was a small six-page pamphlet that explains, "If you want to do this, this is how you do it or this is what this feature is," type thing.
The strobe light makes me feel very much more secure. I have a feeling that several times people come to my door and I don't even know they're there. I have had a few times when people have tried to deliver packages and I've had to call them to come back two or three times and told them they have to call me and let me know that they were at the door because I would not come to pick up the package because I wouldn't know they were at my door. That was a little bit scary.
The tech set up the system in the main room, so it's where it is most of the time, but when I go to bed at night, I take the strobe and the pad in my room with me as well as I have a wristband. He also was able to hook it up to go through by telephone and internet. With the other system I had before, I had a wired house internet. They couldn't put that through which didn't make much sense to me. So now, I feel much better because I've got this band that's on my wrist that I can take with me. I can access it with my cellphone as well as I can move the pad around where I am.
I had fallen twice in my house when I had the other system. I had really stumbled and my footing ran away from me and I ended up sitting on the floor, and I couldn't get back up. I had to crawl to my cellphone because I couldn't even reach the security pad since I had to stand up to hit it to make it go off. But with Guardian, I feel much more secure that I've got enough systems if that happened again.

At the time we got the system we were very concerned about the break-in because we were home. My husband was upstairs watching TV and I was in a room on the other side of the house, in the back of it, and we were both here and we didn't hear them break the locks on the window to get in. So, we wanted to make sure that we got some sort of protection. We didn't spend a lot of time looking into the systems because we just wanted to be sure we got some protection. We went with Guardian because the gentleman who came out was really good in talking to us and explaining to us. He was thorough, easy to talk to and kind, and made us feel comfortable with going with Guardian. And then the installation was timely, didn't disturb us, and didn't take up much of our time.
However, I'm not quite satisfied though with the motion part because we have only one motion detector, and on numerous occasions, we forgot that it was on and it didn't go off right away. Somebody could break in. If they got in through the door or the window that would set it off. But we moved around a lot in here when the motion detector really didn't notice it. That gives me some cause for concern. If we would open a window, the alarm sounds. We're aware of it. So, everything else seems to be working fine. I know that if somebody broke into the house that the system would go off at the door or at the window.
I'm just not fully satisfied with the fact that sometimes, it does take the motion detector a while to pick up some movements. In fact, last Sunday, I came downstairs and I came into the kitchen. I know it doesn't get the whole kitchen, but it should get me going back and forth like between my refrigerator and my sink. I moved around two or three times before the thing went off which scared the daylights out of me because I realized I forgot to turn it off. But I was thinking, I was really moving around in here and that thing never went off. But I know that it's protecting us because I think about the total system and I know that it would cover us.

I signed up with a company called Spectracom 2 years ago. Upon signing up with them the gentleman who signed me up was very talkative and assured me I could always reach out to them or Guardian if I had any questions. My contract was supposed to be for 2 years but in small print it said 60 months. Which brings me to my first issue. Clearly I only wanted signed up for 2 years which the gentleman clearly told me was the length in which I was signing up at. Now I do acknowledge I should of read the fine print. However I was also told that the security system could work by using our cellphones as well. Which it cannot.
I only found this out when I canceled my telephone service MONTHS ago and just got a call that they aren't receiving anything from our alarm system. I go through the paperwork and neither box was checked on for where it states I must have a landline or cellphone line to use the system. Call guardian up and the representative told me that it says it on his copy and that my carbon copy must have “erased” off of it, yet everything else is clearly on their and not removed.
Secondly I had a technician come out since they were not receiving any type of signal from our system and the tech tells me that our alarm system is discontinued and will need replaced for the cost of $620 plus installation fees but for today only they will waive installation fees. This is absolutely ridiculous. So I asked to back out of my contract because I have been dissatisfied for awhile because of the contract being so long and now it's all this money to replace a system I am paying monthly on...so when asked to cancel they tell me i must pay over $1200 to cancel my service... Headache from the start. I would shop around everywhere you could and read everything before signing the contract because he was a very smooth talker and sucked me in....now all I want is out and I’m stuck with either a large fee or a broken system that doesn't work.

Guardian Protection was the system in place when we moved here 22 years ago. Their service as is, is fine, but the system is 20-some years old and they should have been knocking on my door 10 years ago. I requested a salesperson to come out and give me a quote for an upgrade and propose something. They sent a technician who didn’t know anything. He was very savvy on how to fix things. But he wasn’t a salesperson so he didn’t know what options were available, what the price was. He had no sales ability to propose something to me. He just said, “Just look around. Let me know which you want, call in, and they’ll give you a quote.”
They are very expensive. They’re $35 a month and we have the minimum coverage. If I had time, I would have already replaced it. But I asked the technician for a brochure or something to look at, or some ideas, and he just didn’t really have anything. I wanted to add cameras. I wanted to add more security features with the new technology. I wanted to move away from wired to wireless. I was looking for a true sale consulting and he was not a consultant. He was very smart and he knew the product line, how to fix it, but he wasn’t prepared for a sales call. I took a day off to meet with him and I was very disappointed.
I’m not really happy with them. This would be the second time I called and asked for more information and I have gotten nowhere. I shouldn’t have to beg them to send me information but they have given me nothing to go on. And it’s possible they don’t want to support this area any longer because they don’t have enough customers. If they wanted my business, they could have had it and I’m done so I’m moving on. I’m looking at other companies.

Guardian has good price and great customer service. Any time I've had a question, I call them up and they say, “No worries. We'll send somebody out, we'll get it fixed, we'll teach you how to do it,” and they'll move on with their day. It's really like it's no worries for them. When I first started with Guardian, they were not the highest level of features and benefits. The coolest one they have is the cellphone backup rather than needing a landline. They’ve had that since the beginning. So, with features and benefits, they're about the same as everybody else. They’re pretty competitive on pricing, but everybody is in this market. The only thing that sets them above is their customer service.
Our previous house was pre-wired for Ranger America, but Guardian did the rest of the installation. In our second house, Guardian did the installation and it went flawlessly. This house was not wired for an alarm system at all and it has a sunroom, so they installed an extra glass break sensor to cover that room entirely, plus the one for the main house. The system that I have in this house is all touch panel, and it’s very user-friendly.

We’ve had Guardian Protection Services ever since we lived here. It was the most reasonable one and the best install situation for us when we moved here. The only problem was when we did the new install, their reps came out and did it for us. The system works, but it doesn't work properly. My concern is not knowing that every time we need a technician to come out, it costs us $80 to $100. We have reached out to Guardian about it and any time we have, usually they’ll tell us they can’t send somebody out unless we wanna pay the $80 for the person that’s coming out. I don't even pay that much for the bill. Why would I pay them $80 to come fix our stuff?
When the system does work, it works well and they are good about being on top of it. At this point, we’re paying 40 something dollars a month just because we’re trying to keep our homeowner’s insurance from going up. But it’s not really benefiting us because if we wanna set the alarms when we’re not home, we get a lot of mixed signals from the panel telling us that this sensor isn’t working, or it’s not connecting. We just got tired of dealing with it. At this point, we don't use it. It’s just here.

When we first switched over from the other company to Guardian, they came out and did everything.

Unfortunately, I get charged $25 every time he comes out. So I'm upset about that because it's their equipment, which they put in here and I'm getting charged for it. They said it was for a service call, which I don't agree with and I did not know that at the time when I took on Guardian and signed a contract with them. So I'm stuck with them.
But they are good as far as the service goes. They notify me, like false alarms, etc. And I do like their phone app really well. When we are away and we forget to arm the house, I just go to the app and do it. And if we go away, which we have in the wintertime for six weeks, and our son would say, "Dad I need to stop at the house," I'd say, "Okay. Just let me know and I'll turn the alarm off." And when he leaves, I just turn it back on. So that part was good.

I’m happy with Guardian although I get upset, because every time the alarm goes off, the monitor will not turn at all. We put our number in, it does nothing. I asked for a new monitor and the woman assured me that would be done. But when the repairman came, he said that they didn't write that. He said to call them back and tell the rep. They'll make sure that I get that and then the guys will have to come back out once they get the monitor and install it. But I was well served by Guardian's repairman. He was great. He came to find out the day it was almost coming off of the wall and the reason, he said, was that wasn’t installed right. Whoever installed that only installed it with one screw and it’s supposed to be installed with two screws. He put a new one up and installed it with two screws. He didn't charge me for that because it wasn’t installed right.
The system goes off when it shouldn’t go off and then when my wife puts the alarm code back in to shut it off, it doesn’t do anything. It just keeps on ringing. She’s very nervous, so she gets all upset because it won’t turn off. I have to turn around and call the company and tell them to please shut the alarm off and they do. Also, when the doorbell rings, it doesn’t automatically go to the camera. I have to put it in my phone to bring it out. If somebody pushes the doorbell and then you’re not home, you don’t get it but you get the alarm. It doesn’t come on. It just tells you, “You had somebody push your button on your doorbell.” And then you put it in the thing, you bring it out, and if you don’t wanna keep it, you delete it. I don’t like that. If somebody rings that doorbell at 2 o’clock in the morning, they can be gone before I can ever get to see who it is. I like the system. It just won’t do what I think it should do.

The other day, my husband was home making some pumpkin pie and they smoked up a little. They called me right away and asked if I needed a firefighter out here because they have smoke going on. I said, “I don’t think so, but this is his number and his name and he’s at the house.” They called him right away and asked him if he needed any help. So they’re really good about following through with everything.
The installation was really good too because I already had all the equipment from before and they just switched over, put in their keypad. They reprogrammed everything so it’s a lot easier for me to figure out which one’s going off when it says it on the keypad. They said, ‘What do you want to call this room? What do you want to call this window?” Now I know exactly. So when it goes off, I know what it’s saying. I know where the location is. They’re really good about that. And I had a water devise. Guardian normally don’t have it but there’s one and they programmed it in for me.
So far, I got every window and every door protected in my house. I love their smartphone app. Last night, I went to bed and remembered I didn’t set the alarm. I didn’t have to get up. I just picked up my phone and made sure I set it. Also, we might go to some place and if it's not set, then we just set it with the phone. With Guardian Protection, we’re safe as far as knowing if somebody breaks into the house or if I have a water issue or anything. I feel real confident about it when we’re gone.
Hi Carolyn,

We had our Guardian Protection Alarm system installed in Jan 2016. We have seriously had nothing but trouble with it to the point that we can't use it because it has a mind of its own. It will go off on its own and the team that answers the call will tell us "yeah you really shouldn't set it because it may go off". They have sent technicians to our home to replace equipment but then sure enough it starts to malfunction again. Then they want to charge a service fee each time when it's their system that does not work properly.
Oh and wait, you are locked into a 6 year contract so good luck when it doesn't work. They expect you to pay them for a system that doesnt work properly and are completely shocked when you ask for a refund, for again, a system that doesn't work properly. I have had the police at my home for false alarms more times that I can count in the almost 4 years I have this system which is way more times than I ever had with Brinks/ADT. In which I had them over 13+ years.
The system currently, says half statements like,"dining room window aww", when it should say "dining room window open". We have had malfunctions in our master bedrooms, our kids bedroom, the bathroom and the dining room. Oh and it takes weeks, maybe months for them to call about scheduling a service technician. But yes I am still required to pay my monthly fee, which I do religiously. I continue to keep up my end of the contract even when they don't as a company. I am so disappointed in their system. Steer clear!

My alarm system was not communicating due to an incorrect card being installed in the system. The first time the Tech came he didn't have the right card to fix it. Then I had to wait for it to be ordered and while I was waiting the monitoring was not happening. They refused to credit the monitoring fee because I wasn't able to make an appointment with them. If they had the right parts on trip one, I wouldn't have had to make a second appointment. So not only will they not credit me for the services they did not perform, they inconvenienced me twice because they couldn't outfit their techs correctly. They constantly blamed me the customer after not monitoring my account and after inconveniencing me twice. STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY.

We were with ADT then they moved away and somebody else covered it. Then they disappeared and Guardian came up so we went with them. The system is better than some of the stuff we've had. The installers seemed very competent. They replaced some of the stuff that ADT had there that was visible from our living room with a more discreet one. It's in our laundry room so unless you actually go in the laundry room, which is between the other stuff and the garage, you can't see it. Guardian charged us for coming out and fixing something, which I guess was okay, but when that didn't work and they had to come back out, they charged us again.

We're doing great with Guardian Protection. We had a different home security system. So far, the quality of Guardian versus what the other one was a lot better. Example is that if you have an issue, the response time is so much more convenient or faster to the consumer than the other system was. The buttons keep sticking and I had to fiddle with it, and they told me to take alcohol to clean it. I said, “No. I got the service for y’all guys to do it. So you’d better do it, not me.” So, a couple days passed and they finally arrived. With Guardian, I had an issue with my garage door opener and I got very fast response on that.
Everybody’s been very polite, professional and courteous. The guys during the installation were pretty good. The features that are in my system are what I needed. I am also able to access the security system through my smart phone. As long as you have a good internet, it does really well. If it's away from an internet system, it takes a little bit longer, but it does come up. Guardian has been very professional about all aspects of the installation, the troubleshooting, and the interactions. And if you have a problem, you dial the number and they walk you right through it.

Prior to using Guardian Protection, I used ADT. I switched because the Guardian salesman said he was with ADT and that he came up here to give me upgrades. When they had the upgrades going, they admitted they were Guardian. I was pissed about that. Plus, it became 10 bucks more a month. The installation also did not go that well. They had to put some adaptor in here because they weren’t going to change anything out. They’re using the ADT equipment. They argued about the fact that my smoke detector wasn’t compatible and therefore the guy wasn’t gonna install a new one. I got pissed at him. He made a phone call and they told him to install it for me. They only installed minimal equipment and they hit me with a pretty heavy fee.
The salesman also said they weren’t gonna take any money out of my account. The following day, they took $300 out. I got lied to by the representative of the company and that’s what got me pissed. Because of him, I wouldn’t recommend the company. I’m really disappointed in the fact that I got duped but the services has been fine. I had some problems and they came out right away and fixed them. I just don’t understand when Guardian calls, it goes to my voicemail. I just found out about it a couple of days ago. I was looking at my voicemails and apparently they had called and it went right to voicemail for some reason but I’m in the house all the time.

We just built our home, and Guardian Protection Services was one of the packages that we were able to get with the home. Guardian came out once at the beginning because our glass-break sensor was acting up, and they replaced it. But I have a panel in the basement that has all our routing in it, and it’s kinda like spaghetti. Instead of being routed wires, it’s just kinda thrown in there. And it’s really hard to trace wires, so we’re not really happy about that. When I moved in, I saw it and I said, “Well, that don’t look very pretty.” They didn’t say sorry. They didn’t really say anything. They kinda avoided the situation. The area where it’s at is fine but the box is too small for all the stuff I have in it that they wired into my house. They should’ve used a bigger box or panel so that they could route things nicer and neater.
We turn the system on and we turn it off. And we set it off when we forget that it’s on. So that, and then our sound system that they put in the house are okay. It’s working. From the beginning, when we were trying to work with Guardian to get our house wired and everything, the purchase of the options and everything were terrible. The sales piece of it was absolutely terrible. It took months to get it right.

It’s working out awesome with Guardian. We are really enjoying it. We only had the Guardian doorbell that came with the home we bought. Once we settled, I told my husband we should think of a security system, I would feel safer and could sleep better. We talked with the first gentleman that came and got us installed and told us whenever we changed our mind, that he would be happy to get us on it. We’ve lived here for years and I told them the house came with Guardian and I think we should just continue. The Horton Homes having this makes a big difference. A lot of people in the neighborhood that have Guardian have said they’ve all liked and have been happy with it.
The employees of Guardian who came and helped us out were phenomenal. Everybody’s been really nice. The first night, it was hilarious. I hit the wrong code. I did the emergency code and they called me. I got the numbers all backwards so I had to write them again. But it was nice. At least they called. Now we’re becoming pros with the system.

Guardian Protection does the security systems at my office so I went with them as well. I got the system because my daughter has an ex-boyfriend who is gonna be getting out of prison in the next few months, and we've had issues with him in the past. He stole my wife's laptop before he ran away. So, we just figured it was probably a good precaution. The original salesman that came out that sold us the system was very knowledgeable, walked through the house, told us what we needed and where. Set up was really good too. The guy that came in to do it was really professional and he was in and out quick.
The only issue I've had was with the motion detector in my living room. It just was going off for no reason and we couldn't figure out why. So, they ended up moving it away from the heat vent figuring that maybe something was being blown in front of it. That didn't fix the problem, so they came back again and put a meter on it and found that there was something in there that was draining the battery. And when I got a low battery, it was sounding the alarm. It was a minor issue, but I wish they had put the meter on and checked that the first time that they came out. It went on for a couple of weeks. When it went off once, they came out to check and then moved it, and then it was fine for a week. And then it went off three times in four days. And I said, "This can't go on, you guys gotta come back," and that was when they replaced it, and it has been fine since then.
The other issue I had was with smoke detectors. I got this new generation of smoke detector that has a 10-year battery in it, so you don't replace them until you replace the smoke detectors. So, it went off one Saturday morning for no reason. Nobody was cooking in the house. So, they came out and they checked it, and the guy told me that there was a recall on the date codes that I had installed. So, he replaced all three of the smoke detectors in the house. But about a week later, another one went off, and they found that that was the same issue as the motion sensors. It was draining the battery, so they had to replace that. So far, the people have been very nice and very easy to deal with. I'd recommend Guardian Protection.

Guardian had a representative that was in the neighborhood and knocked on the door. I was with Vivint and I switched to Guardian. Guardian is a little bit better. I've had to have them out here about five times because the batteries in the sensors keep going. They've even changed the sensors to different sensors. And right now, my panel says panel duress. But when I click on it, it doesn't tell me anything as far as like how to correct it. I went in to try to adjust the sensitivity because my motion camera in the back of my home is just constantly going off.
Even if the shadow of the tree leaves glow, it sets it off. And it's not very computer-friendly. For me to go in and try to fix whatever is going on without having to call them, it’s my one storage building continuously telling me it's offline. Guardian calls and they say, "Well, it's probably the sensor, the batteries.” And then they wanna set up an appointment to come out. And it's like, "Well, you've already been out here four or five times for the same thing." Whenever a representative comes out and works on it, they've all been very nice. They'll fix the problem at the time, but then it's only a matter of a few weeks and it's doing it again.
There seems to be some issues with their actual equipment. To me, if you put a brand new battery in something, it shouldn't be bad in a couple of weeks. As far as the clarity of the video, the motion and the doorbell, ringer camera, they're clear pictures. My camera in the rear will give me a clip, and then, it may go for seven hours, and then it'll give me another clip. One of the biggest things is when they come, they need to do more than just say, "Well, there's tutorials on the panel, through the panel." They need to walk you through a little bit more of it so that you understand how to use it.

There were a couple of times that it has gone off and Guardian has called. The last time it went off, they called, and they wouldn’t let me off the phone till I got it stopped.

A couple of times I’ve been out of town when my motion detector went off because of my cats in the house, and they were good about dispatching somebody here.

Guardian was the only option we had with our builder and their system was installed when the house was being built. The features offered in the system are okay, however, we can't always arm the house wirelessly. After we leave, as we're pulling out the driveway, we can't always get on to the app. It's frustrating. Other than that, everything has been going fine.
Hi Tricia,
Thank you for taking the time to review your experience with Guardian Protection. Your phone may be still be trying to connect to your home WiFi but has weak signal from the driveway; I would suggest trying to arm the system on the doorstep or a little further away from the home once the 4g has connected.

We bought a new house and a Guardian Protection security system was sold to us as well through the builder. The builder installed the system and I installed my cameras myself. We use smartphones for the system to put an alarm when needed, however, I would like to have a more advanced tap screen on the alarm system. Also, one of the most important features that I would really like to have is if it can have integration with the smoke detectors. The house has now been equipped with smoke detectors, but they're not connected to the Guardian system or the smartphone app.
Guardian's system is a little bit behind and there are some features that probably other alarm systems already included. Also, their price is too high. Yet overall, the Guardian system is functioning all right. The customer service has been good as well. We didn't have much problems except for a couple times where there were some error messages, but I called them and they replied very quickly. The service is very professional and I’m satisfied.

Sometimes, I wanna upgrade my Guardian Protection system a little bit with some things. I would like to get some camera over the front door and maybe at the inside. But, overall, I’m not unhappy. We’ve been with Guardian since we moved here. We had some problems a few years ago. We wanted to get some more sensors put on, and they wanted to charge a larger amount of money to do it, but we came to terms because I was gonna switch to another company.
I looked at a couple other companies, too. The monitoring is a little high for Guardian compared to them and they’re willing to put a camera on my front door, and one in the house if I wanted to. And if I’m willing to sign a three-year contract, the monitoring would actually be $2 less a month. I hadn’t agreed with it because I don’t know the reputation. Guardian Protection never offer upgrades and they never contact us, we always have to contact them. It’s like I pay my bill and I pay my monitoring twice a year, and they don’t even contact us. It’s not a big deal. It’s just that it’s not great customer service.

Guardian Protection was coming around talking to some of my neighbors. I approached the guy, and he explained their setup. It happened to be convenient at that time so I decided to work with them.

My older parents were talked into this service, even though they already had an existing service installed. Overall the system did what it was claimed to do, set off alarm if door opened. My issue is, one parent died, so I had to move my mom into my home. She is still expected to pay off her service, for the next 3 years. Even though half of her income (dad's social security) is gone. I tried to work with the company, but they are dead set on their cancellation policy. If you plan to be in your home for a long time, get the service. But think twice if any type of circumstance might arise. DO NOT allow your older parents to get this service.

Somebody recommend me to the service and protection of Guardian, and I've had it for three years. The first time, like all consumers, we activated the alarm for accidents. Besides this little accident for mistakes, we are okay. Though I’m canceling the account after October the 27th since we're gonna rent the house, I'm satisfied.
Hello,

I had ADT for about 18 years and they come up and said that everything’s expired and I have to have a new contract and they’re not gonna give me any discounts. I had to start all over from the beginning. I went with Guardian and their reps came to the house. We talked and had a good conversation. Thereafter, their guy came and put everything in. Now I have door and window alarms as well as motion alarms. So far, the system works fine and Guardian has been more consumer-friendly than ADT ever was. I’m happy with what I decided to contract with. It keeps the house safe. Overall, Guardian is a good company.

Guardian Protection Services was my builder’s preferred supplier, and the customer service was not so great with their service level follow-up but they were always attentive. The sales reps were there when they needed to be although they were trying to solicit a lot of extra business. Also, I wish the service from the installers are a little more expedient on results. The installers needed to come out twice but the installation went well. Also, Guardian’s prices should be a little more modeled. Their pricing is very high. Still, the system is very good and the smartphone features are always convenient. Guardian is a decent provider that has a lot of options.

The Guardian reps answered what I wanted to know, and they were knowledgeable for what problem might’ve existed. However, I didn't like the way the installers presented the product. They don’t explain the whole thing until it’s over with, and then they say, “You owe me X amount of dollars.” I did not like that. I still have them, but that was a bad experience to start with.

I've had Guardian in my home for 12 years. I've never found anybody much cheaper and customer service has been 100%. Technology is exploding and what I have in my house is almost what I had 12 years ago. If I was to look at systems today, I would have something much different. Still, the system that we have is adequate, so we just kept it as it is. Recently though, we had an installation and I had a thermostat put in. It will tell me if the condominium gets very hot or very cold. The installation went well.

Some of my friends had Guardian, so I thought I would give it a try. The guy who came to install the system was very knowledgeable and I didn’t have any issues there. He knew what he was doing and he got it done. He also gave some suggestions and I told him to go ahead with them. The system does some basic stuff but the pricing is still higher for what it does. So the features offered for the price is very limited and the price has to go down or the features has to improve.
Also, I don’t use most of the features other than arming and disarming on the LCD. They're too vague and some of the things it gives me are pretty outdated. But the smart feature from the phone is good. I can arm and disarm through that and that is helpful. Since having the system, I feel a little bit more secure in my home. I had to compliment those other security solutions as well, like Nest.
Hi Jag,
Thank you for sharing an informed customer review. I'm glad to hear you are enjoying the smart home security features like the phone app, please give us a call if you ever have further questions on the system use; we are happy to help!

Excellent experience from day one. Lots of good communication. We were late getting into our house and they still kept in touch. Installed by a true professional. Very knowledgeable, kind, patient, personable. The company calls to check in and makes sure we know what we are doing and what they offer.

I used to have Guardian up north, and I am using them again now. The installation of our equipment was fairly quick. The guy came. It was a contractor, but he came out and he did everything. They had to come back and make adjustments and put it together and do an antenna on it because of the concrete block wall. But other than that, it was fine. They were good. We’ve done all the doors and windows and everything is set up. We just had to get it tweaked, but everything on it is working good.
Guardian's customer service has been great. I had a little problem with the alarm about two weeks ago, and I called, and they took care of it. It was like at 10 o’clock at night. The system does what we need it to do. It worked up north. It’s worked down here. It’s a good alarm system. It’s worked well for us and people can get it on their phone.

Guardian Protection Services is the best thing since sliced bread. We went with Guardian ‘cause we had some break-ins in our neighborhood. The whole system works and it’s fine. Sometimes you forget the alarm is on and it goes up, and then the reps will call you. They're very nice and very professional.

We bought our house in 2017 and were told we just had to finish out the contract, now they are saying we signed a 60-month contract. The installer had us sign a paper but never told us we were signing a 60 month contract!! If I did I was not told that! I would never sign a contract for 5 years. I have tried to work with them. Now they say they want $700.00 to cancel the contract! I would not ever recommend this company!!
Hello Diane,
I’m sorry to hear of the misunderstanding with the agreement. Guardian Protection records calls for quality purposes and your call with Guardian’s Account Management representative was reviewed: the 60 month term was mentioned several times on the phone call and was agreed to. We are willing to work with you to settle what is owed on the account if you would please contact Debbie back, she has left a message for you.

Guardian is very good and when the system is supposed to work, it works. We haven't had any issues with it except low batteries and every time we need a battery, the guy comes and puts a good battery in. Everything else has been wonderful. Every time we’ve done any interfacing with the employees, they're all very good as well.

The rep showed me how to use the system and he was good but later, after I needed things, the experience wasn't so good. I couldn't get what I want. Currently, I have four cameras with Guardian and I wanted more but I was told by Guardian that I couldn’t put any more cameras on. I told them I’d do whatever I had to to get four more cameras, and they couldn’t do it. My brother’s got a Guardian over in Tampa, and he’s got eight cameras on, so somebody’s lying. I’ve already talked to two people and since I couldn’t get them to do anything else, I put four of my own in with another company. I also got one light that I can control from my phone. I wanted three more, and I can’t get that done either. We also had a lot of false alarms. The system couldn’t read some of the sensors that were out in the boat shed, but we got that taken care of. Also, the installation experience was good.
Hi Craig,
Thanks so much for reviewing your customer experience. Typically when it comes to cameras we've found that residential internet doesn't have the upload bandwidth needed to support more than 4 cameras so we like err on the side of caution. We appreciate your feedback however and will use it to improve our customer offerings.

I’ve had Guardian for close to 20 years and I love them. I’ve moved four times and every time I move, I have to extend the contract another five years. It could be inconvenient, but then I weigh that with the service I get and it balances out. The reps are great too. They're always very professional and helpful. Overall, the system is wonderful and I have recommended Guardian. It’s very reliable and it’s been around a long time. It’s not like these little Bluetooth things going through the wi-fi. The technology is a little different, and I feel safer. I’m very comfortable with it.
Hi Jeanne,
Thank you for being a long time customer of Guardian Protection! It's wonderful to hear you have enjoyed the peace of mind a professionally installed and monitored security system can bring.

When I signed up for the service the sales man said that if I needed to cancel the contract I would be able to do so which is why I signed up. I sold my home and am no longer using the services but they are still charging me. They sent me to collections without telling me. Don't sign a contract with this company.
