We moved into the area and Guardian was the one who contacted us first. Their people came to our door, talked to us, and we went ahead and signed up for it with them. We have them for about six weeks now and for the first billing, they charged us twice for the first month. They don’t see it that way but I do. When they charge me when they're out here for the first month then the first month comes in and we've only had the service for about a week, that’s charging us twice and I'm not pleased with that. Other than that, I'm okay with everything else and I feel secure since having Guardian.
Hi Alan,

Guardian Protection Services was the security service that partnered with the builder we used. And for the short time that we’ve been in this property, they seem to be comparable to the security service that we had in another location. The reps at Guardian have been good. My daughter was here during the installation of the system and she was pleased.

I have a new home and the builder has some relationship with Guardian Protection Services. My experience with their reps and the installer was fine. The installer explained the features to us before he left. He also told us that we could go online and pull up our account, and it has everything on there. So far, the system is functioning well.

I had a different security system before, but the alarm didn’t go off when somebody broke into my place twice, so I decided to go with Guardian Protection Services. I got Guardian five years ago and the installers were good and friendly. Their reps are very good and on top of things. Just last week, we had thunderstorm over in this area and the power went off. They called me and the rep let me know that my power went off. Guardian is doing a good job and they are better than the other guys. I like the feature that I could shut off the system before I even enter the building, but I would also like to have a feature where I could see what's happening in my store when I’m not there or not around. All my friends that I hang out with have Guardian and I would recommend people to have Guardian.

We were building with Ryan Homes six years ago and they offered Guardian to us. Guardian's customer service has always been very helpful and one of the installers that I've talked to was very polite. The installation process went very smooth as well. It was all done before we moved in. So far, the system works really well. It feels great having one and it definitely puts my mind at ease.

Guardian's service has been good. The person who installed it was very cooperative and very polite. The only complaint I have is they raised the price again. Other than that, we're very satisfied overall with the system. The reason we put in the security system was that when we came back from the Super Bowl at a friend's house, we discovered that we had be burglarized. They took most of my wife's jewelry and other small items which they could carry. Since having Guardian, we feel much more secure and we use it any time we go out. We appreciate the security system and we feel much more comfortable with it. I have recommended them to others in our complex and two friends went with Guardian because of our recommendation.

We had to call about one of the motion detectors within the past couple of months. Guardian came out and checked the motion detector monitor, and it was a short visit. That aside, the features have been working well when we’ve had to use the system. But I would tell others to shop around. Guardian is probably not as price competitive as some of the newer companies on the market. I’m not sure the equipment is the most up-to-date either and we’re actually thinking about replacing it with the more affordable and more technologically advanced system.

A guy from Guardian came to the house, saw the place and gave me few options, and then I went with them. I used to have ADT but I didn't like the service. In comparison, Guardian is big in the area and they give reasonable rates. I would like more touchscreen pads and higher technology than the older devices. But overall, the system has been pretty good. It also seemed like a better system for my security and I’ve been very satisfied.

Guardian Protection Services came with the house when we bought it. They upgraded it to a new system and they put the new hardwired CO2 and fire and smoke detectors in. We had a fire a couple years ago and Guardian notified the fire department. It worked and they called as soon as the smoke detector was going off. The only thing I wasn’t happy with s that the key fob didn’t work to shut off the alarm and we were paying for that. I mentioned something and they said I might have to order a new one. And it was something that was too much of a hassle to deal with. So, we just went along with it. We're very happy with Guardian and it’s definitely worth it. So many companies these days don’t necessarily have the best customer service. They don’t reach people or they’re rude on the phone. But with Guardian, we haven't had any issues. I would recommend them.

We saw people with Brinks but when Guardian presented their package, they seemed to offer a lot of value for the money. They had a very good protection system and motion in the basement at a reasonable price. The installation was pretty good and the installer came out and he did his job. He was able to provide some professional advice that enabled me to situate my alarm system in a place that allowed me to have privacy in my bedroom but still come out to the hallway in a good place. Plus, when we come in through our garage, we don’t really have to run although we better move quickly. So, that’s really good. We get to it 99% of the time unless we’re fooling around with something else.
The quality of the equipment is on the money and it always works. The reps are very thorough with their service and they call back if there’s an alarm. And they always ask for the password to make sure. They also ask if we’re okay and if there’s anything else that they can do. And what I really like about them is if you call them, they are able to troubleshoot anything over the phone. A couple of times my smoke alarm seemed to be beeping but I didn’t understand what it was, and they were able to walk me through it to resolve my issue. I also had one attempt of someone trying to break in and the alarm obviously scared them off. It worked so I’m really happy about that. Guardian's service is very good.

Our Guardian was part of the home builder’s package. I had a handful interactions with their customer service reps initially trying to get the system set up and how we wanted it set-up. We checked on it and made sure things were where we asked them to be. I had problems with the remote access of the system and, for the most part, they have been addressed. Unfortunately, I’ve had some cell phone issues and it has booted me out. I’ve had to change the password, but I’ve not come through the process of doing that.

At first, I was happy with Guardian Protection Services. A couple of my bosses use them so I used them too. But the reason I signed up was that they took care of an older gentleman. He lived in a bad neighborhood and after he passed away, his house was broken into and the alarm didn't go off. I’m not really happy with Guardian but I'm into this contract where I gotta keep it or pay to get out of it. If it wasn’t for me being locked in, I would have canceled several years ago.
I have the system in a rental house right now. Guardian Protection would call me when they can’t get a hold of my tenants and that was the only good thing about it and I don't have any complaints yet. The installer did a good job but something went wrong when it didn’t go off. When you hire them and put that into a house, you would think that your house is safe. And then, the alarm doesn’t even go off and when you need it the most, it was not there. I don’t have the means to buy a house now but if I ever get one, I would not use Guardian.

I purchased my security system from Guardian in April 2016 and all was working well until February 2018, when the garage door sensor failed, causing the garage door to randomly open and close, sending the police out to our house for false alarms, which incurred charges to us. Guardian first blamed my garage door opener and the automatic garage door openers, so I had them inspected.
When all those turned out to be in perfect working order, I had Guardian replace their garage door sensor. Next, the keypad failed in March, which Guardian never did repair, even though they have been out several times, attempting to repair the problem. I have now been without a security system for four months, but Guardian still insists I owe for the false alarms, because the police were sent out to our house, due to their faulty equipment. In the past two weeks, Brinks Home Security has taken over my account, and of course, Guardian has washed their hands of my account. They still send me bills for the outstanding balance.
Hello Maggie,
I'm so sorry for the frustrations on your account. I have looked into your account and see we have credited a partial amount of your oustanding balance as a courtesy. For all other questions please reach Brinks Security at 800-447-9239.

We have had Guardian for over 4 years, 2 separate houses. When we moved the first time we were relocating to a new but transition home further south for my wife's job. We relocated the service and were told our contract would continue and not extend. Come to find out 2 years after that when we are ready to buy our permanent home we were lied to and they extended our contract without offering us month to month options. They now want us to pay over $1100 to cancel so we can move, or are forced to sign a 5 year contract at our new home. Even better is that I found our very first original contract we actually signed and their ETF fee is $750, so they are lying to extort more money. I would just avoid this company at all costs because $1100 to them is way too important for the hassle and no comfort of know the company has your back.

When we bought the house, that was part of Guardian. We didn't have to get it but we wanted the security. Also, they were gonna run the cables which they did for free so we had to sign in a two-year contract and we stayed with them. When they installed everything, the house was being built. Then, the reps showed us how to use it once we bought the house a couple of years ago. I like the features of the system and I would like more but it's expensive.
The service is very good. They're very good at what they do and they would call me if I call for a test or if the alarm accidentally goes off. One time, we weren't home but I have a camera and I could see someone at the door in the nighttime. I called the police but I told them, if they tried to get in the alarm will go off. Another time, I forgot my code and Guardian called the police. I was glad they did because I wasn't at the house and I couldn't remember it. I was kinda impressed and I appreciated that. But I feel like somebody could come through a window. I'm a little paranoid because our house was broken into years ago and I worry a little about that. We have the motion sensor but I don't put them on because we have a dog.

The technician of Guardian set it up pretty quickly and in a couple of hours, he was in and out. Everything's been good so far. However, there was an issue with a sensor in the living room who would arm away, and the sensor would go off while we're not home. No movement in the house at all. It ended up that they just switched up the sensors or bad sensors. But other than that, no issues. They'd call us every once in a while 'cause we burned something on the stove.
Quality-wise, they do what they're supposed to do, on a motion detector lines and door sensor-wise. The app is also pretty user-friendly as far as just arm away and arm stay. But when you select certain devices, whenever you wanna turn off the sensor or arm a sensor, individually you couldn't do that, you've got to go down to the panel. They also have another option - it's like a GE unit. I have the Honeywell, just set the time that wasn't available. But it's gonna cost me to upgrade to that. However, the system of Guardian seems to work well and it's money well spent.

Guardian Protection Services was doing a promotion and it fulfilled my needs. My interactions with the reps at Guardian were nothing less than stellar. Everybody I spoke with at Guardian has helped me out. The lady that hooked me over the cameras and stuff went above and beyond to get me situated. And the techs have been professional. The first guys that did the first install did a great job and the last guy that did the cameras was exceptional. I have had no problems since I had it and it’s going on for five years now.
I got the camera and the mobile app that I log into and see my alerts. It’s up there with everybody else as far as technology goes. With Alarm.com and with a login, everything was fine. I’m very satisfied with Guardian. I can get the alarm system for $10 or $20 a month with the company I work for, but it will be a lot of headaches to switch and have all the connections that I have in my house, 8 or 10 sensors, so I chose to stay with Guardian.

Anytime I’ve called Guardian Protection Services the reps have been responsive. They have the wherewithal to get an answer to a question if it’s not straightforward, so all of the information is available to them to help the customer. So on an overall basis, in terms of whether it’s asking a technical question or scheduling a vacation or a false alarm, it has always been good. For our needs of protecting us in our home, we are satisfied with the features that are offered in our system.
However, there has been at least one instance where I was interested in looking at something new or an additional feature and their costs are extremely high. For example, I was looking at the application of a TV monitoring or CCTV, so I called Guardian and asked them. They gave me a price but the price was exorbitant. It was out of sight compared to if I would go to Best Buy or a Sam’s Club and do it myself. If they wanna be more competitive in applying new technology, they gotta be more price-competitive. But overall I would recommend Guardian. We feel more comfortable to know that we’re protected when we are in our home and when we’re away. We were on family vacation the past two weeks and the system was in an alarm state and we felt better to know that our home was protected.

The Doorbell camera was replaced this morning, it appears to be working properly so far. I will monitor its functioning for a few weeks. For now I consider the issue resolved.
Original Review: July 11, 2018
We purchase a new home about a year ago, about a month after moving in we signed a 5 year contract with Guardian after a long sales speech from a Skyline rep (I think that is the name of the sister/subcontracting company). One of the services we have is a doorbell camera, which didn't work properly at the beginning due to a weak internet connection. I called customer service and explained my situation. They recommended to buy an amplifier for my signal and install it myself. I got very upset since that was something they should have realized when the equipment was installed. They finally accepted to installed the amplifier (after a long heated discussion over the phone) at no cost. Well, about a month ago (about 7 months of use) we started having issues with the camera again, the motion sensor feature does not work properly, it only activates when the doorbell button is pushed.
I have called customer service three times to troubleshoot the issue. The first time they said the camera needed an update, they pushed the update and it did not work. I called again and the update was again pushed and it seemed to work for a few days until I realized the motion sensor feature was still not working. I called customer service a third time and was told that to fix the issue or replace the camera I had to pay a service fee of ~$120 (can't remember exactly how much) per hour plus the cost for the parts because I own the equipment and the warranty last only 60 days or something like that. So now NOT EVEN A YEAR INTO MY 5 YEAR CONTRACT I am stuck with a camera that does not work properly or spend hundreds of dollars to replace it. I could not believe my ears when the customer service rep was saying that... based on my experience, the hardware is junk.
I am extremely disappointed with this company and will probably never renew a contract, require their services again once my contract expires or recommend it to anyone. I live in a very safe neighborhood and the main reason why I signed with Guardian was to have the camera to be able to communicate with anyone approaching my door or see if a package was delivered, etc. Well, now I will be paying 4 years of a service I don't really need because what I was interested in having does not work. It is also funny how Guardian is selectively responding to these low rating reviews...
Thank you for the honest update of your review, Adrian. We appreciate your feedback and will continue to work to make sure the system provides you with peace of mind. Please let us know if we can help in the future with any issues.

I had ADT for a short time. They just installed the system and didn’t seem to be concerned about anything else. But with Guardian, I could call them for any information and they called me right away. They were attentive. When I called them and said I wanted to switch, there wasn’t anything that they had to sell me. I picked them. The installation was done by ADT and the rest I did with Guardian on the phone. And when I had to have a service done, Guardian did it immediately. I’ve had my system for over 15 years so it’s exactly what I wanted, plain and simple. And I can add on to it when I want to. The quality was fine as soon as it started working. My son is an electrician, so he checked that out for me.
I was trying to use the smartphone feature but I lost my ID number and they couldn't give that to me. But I like that feature and the key fob, too. The Guardian system is easy to use. I can pick up the phone whenever I want to call and they check to make sure that the numbers are working. My granddaughter lives with me and I have her tuned to the numbers. Guardian always has the number I called and I could change numbers when I want to. This is better than when I was with the other company and it wasn’t so easy to get in touch with me and do those personal change things. With Guardian, it's like a one-on-one or a direct contact. With the other company, I couldn’t get in touch with them and talk to them one-on-one for my problem. It was always, "Go through this, go through that." It wasn’t personal enough.
I’m very pleased with the Guardian. One time, I have been away from home and they were able to contact me on my cell phone. My granddaughter and my son were here and they burnt bacon. The fire department had come already and that was great because Guardian doesn't wait to call you if the smoke alarm doesn’t go off and if you don’t call them. I’ve just recommended someone to them. She has ADT and all she does is pay the bill. I gave her Guardian's number and she was contacting them to switch over. I told her she doesn't have to have anybody come in and reconnect anything.

The Guardian system was built-in to my wall when I moved in. I had a positive experience with the person who activated the system. He was very friendly and knowledgeable. The features and the quality of the system are good as well. I frequently use the smartphone features and I like them. I had a little bit of a glitch going on, but the system has been great. I also like the notifications sent via text. It is good knowing that things are secured. Nobody has tried to break in and I did have one weird thing with my basement door, but nothing seemed to be out of place. The police were even called on it.
If it wasn't a built-in when I moved, I probably won’t go by Guardian because they’re most costly. But that’s something that they have to look on their P&L. They could easily do a research in terms of which one’s being marketed and advertised on the Glenn Beck Program. I get charged about $35 a month with Guardian and then there’s another company that’s not wired where you can install it yourself and there’s no installation cost on the part of the company. But, their service is only $15 a month. But from my research, they have good reviews as well, not just a lower price. So Guardian just have to keep an eye on the competition, decide how they want to market or if they wanna market because I haven’t seen anything out there marketing wise and protect their viability. Nevertheless, I would tell others that Guardian has been good for me but would also refer them to another company if they're looking for a little price point.

While we do attempt to stay competitive with our pricing, we believe in a professional install experience; when it comes to protecting what matters most, do you really want to rely on a self-install security system?

The features in our Guardian system are fine. We've got fire detection and police notification. Also, the reps have been great and professional. I called them when the code went off and the problem seemed to continue even though we corrected it. But Guardian was good and they finally did something. At 30-some dollars a month, Guardian is cheaper compared to other home security systems. But the price keeps creeping up a bit so it's something we've got to consider. Guardian might wanna consider offering some premium offers so that they could compete with SimpliSafe.

Since the system has been running by itself, the only time Guardian Protection Services calls is if the alarm goes off. They call me to find out why it went off. Otherwise, I don’t hear from them. They don’t call me to find out if the thing is working. Whereas my old company used to call me every month to check the system and see if it’s operating correctly. Plus, I sent Guardian a message that I need them to change the pad because it's outdated and I still haven’t heard anything from them. I don’t know why they didn’t change the pad when they came in here. I would not recommend Guardian Protection Services to anybody.
I am sorry that we have been unable to reach you regarding upgrading your keypad.

Your request is important to us. Trust that I will share your request with our supervisor and please expect a call soon from a Guardian customer care specialist. With regard to receiving calls from Guardian’s 24-hour monitoring center when your alarm goes off, this is a way to verify that you are OK and also a means of verifying whether or not the alarm is an accidental or false alarm before we notify the police. Your safety and security are important to us. We appreciate that you have reached out to share your questions and concerns.

We looked at all the Consumer Reports and looked at Guardian Protection Services and Vivint. They both scored well. We did Vivint first and had an install set-up and the guy never followed up. He said he was sick and we had lots of issues. I'm glad that we all all the issues right of the gate and we said Vivint is not the company we wanna go with. We canceled that right away and went with Guardian and we've been very pleased with it ever since. Our sales rep was very attentive and if we had questions, he was very responsive to our questions.
We had an issue with our modem, that our spectrum came in, and we did some things and messed it up. They tried to help us over the phone but they couldn't and they scheduled us up pretty far out, but they ended up getting it done the next day. They had to reset our modem. And the cameras were linked to a different modem. They got things straightened out quickly. We had two different installers and they both did a good job. They were very professional and they were experts. The installation was over a two-day process and they collaborated. The first guy that got here linked into the modem and the other one linked into our computers. They talked about it and figured out why we had issues.

Guardian Protection Services had a partnership with the construction company of the house. The security system was included in the total amount and then I put it in the mortgage, so it was convenient. I had two meetings at the construction company’s office at a model house, and we went through the options that would be available. The person explained to me how it worked, and then we decided on the options that we would like to have. It was not only protection service that we got from them. We also bought the central vacuum system and speakers to have sound in the house. Guardian offered that.
They installed the system while the house was being built. When I decided to activate the system, I called Guardian and then set up a visit. A technician came to activate the system, did all the programming for the security system to make sure everything was working well, went through the sound system, and set everything up. He walked me through on how to use both the security and sound systems.
The features in the system were okay and it was what I needed so far. l knew I have it, but the problem is I haven't been activating it as I come from a different country where security is a whole lot worse than here. I feel a lot secure living here so that was already a big step. Second, I have the security system, so this makes me feel a lot better. But I feared out something as people told me some of their concerns, others would get into their garage and then pick up some things. The garage is our vulnerable point as there are no sensor or security in there. So if I go away and I leave the garage open, there is no warning. Whereas if I leave my front door open, the system warns me, and that’s pretty cool and nice as it sends me a message if I leave the front door open. I saw in my neighbor he had a camera, so he could see what was going on. If anybody would get into his garage, he'd be able to track it.
I thought maybe I would have some more features of the possibility of having cameras inside, and the other things that I saw that would be. We never thought about it the time we bought the system. By the time the person or the salesperson was showing us, I was not aware of it as we still thought this was pretty much a safe area. Also, the possibility of having the information on the app that I could see the video. Overall, it works the way it should. We just need to use the system more often, but I use the app. I checked that it is possible to activate and deactivate the system using the app, but we haven't done it much and I haven't been through testing like a routine as they told me there would be a monthly or bimonthly routine test.

I was told that we were better off going with Guardian because I could bundle it into the mortgage and they could get a better deal. The salesperson at Guardian was good. Although I'm a really busy person, he managed to reschedule and fit most as he could. The installation was easy, but the guy who came out to teach us how to use the Guardian was a little off with his instruction. He told us the code and showed the Guardian’s homepage, the website where I can change and add and it was all good. But he told us that when we would go out, we gotta put a code in every time we wanna arm and disarm, instead of just pressing the stay or away button. So, what I've been doing in a few days was press the away and then I press the code. So, it pretty much enabled the security system.
The features offered were good but I was disappointed that I was not introduced to the Geo system by the salesperson. Instead, the person who told me how to use the system was the one who told me about the Geo system. The only thing I can use on my smartphone is the disengaging and engaging the alarm system. But I wanted the cameras installed and the garage door to be opened and locked by phone. If it was mentioned to me, I would have gotten a great deal. Other than that, Guardian's alarm system is very simple. Majority of the homeowners around my town have Guardian except for a few, who have ADT.

But Guardian is expensive. I'm paying Guardian $55 but ADT is offering only $25. ADT is offering almost half of the price but they said ADT is a phone-based service and is not good. Before I started my activation, Guardian also charged me for three months but they said they were gonna credit it back for the next three months. Then when the bills were a little higher than usual, I asked them and they said they can't lower the billing. They asked me to increase the last month so that they can lower the bill by $4 from there. I can't really do anything though. I don't have the option to come out of agreement because I already agreed for a certain number of months. I can't really pay $1,500 upfront to come out of the agreement so I gotta stick with it. When I signed, the guy at Guardian mentioned I can come out anytime but there might be a clause.

We had Guardian when we lived in Ohio and we were forced to transfer services because of how much it's gonna cost us to buy out the contract. Now, we have Guardian again and we've had it for three years. They weren't helpful when we went to cancel my account from Ohio. They weren't understanding of my situation that we were getting moved after being in our home for a year. They sent me an email saying, "Well, here's the contract that you signed," and there was a big circle around the five-year part. I understand I signed the contract, but can you help me? Can we work our way around this? That was a really sour taste in my mouth. I didn't talk to them until we moved here to Texas.
I was able to talk to this sales rep who helped me and got things going. I told him how I've been dissatisfied with other people and we had wanted to change services when we got here to Texas because there are other services that are more common in our area. And they wouldn't let us. I explained to them that we had signed a contract in Ohio knowing that my husband is gonna be relocated. It was out of our control and they said they didn't care. They wanted $2,000 from us to buy out the contract, which was outrageous. But the sales rep was able to reduce my monthly payment and he threw in a free doorbell. He kind of made up for that.
But the technician who came to our house creeps me out. I had my husband texting me all the time because he was just crazy and I was scared to have him in my house. His pants hung down to the ground, like they're just too long for him. And he's very unkempt, really messy beard with food stains in it, and hair that looks like it hasn't been washed in a few days. He smells horribly, like he hadn't showered. And he wasn't very knowledgeable. We have been consistently having problems with our doorbell camera picking up motions and nobody can help me out on the phone. He was here and he couldn't even help me. I was like, "Well, what good is the service if the technician who's installing it has no idea how to calibrate your camera to make it work?"
Also, the quality that they offered in the doorbell is not impressive to me. I know I can go to Home Depot and get a doorbell that would work really, really well. But I really appreciate the keypad. We paid over $50 a month when we were in Ohio for the keypad. And this upgraded keypad that we have that has the touch-tone and all these awesome features is great. And the app actually works with our keypad log in. In the end, I got close to what I want, but it shouldn't have taken me so much headache to get there.

Guardian Protection Services was a little better in protection compared to other security systems. Their sales and customer service teams were polite and cooperative. They told us how to use the system and really educated us on everything that they did. It was very easy to get a hold of them if I had any concerns. All I had to do was contact them and ask any questions. The installation went very well plus, it was fast and easy. It took about 45 minutes and it took a little longer because they were setting up the screen but the features were all good.

Guardian already takes care of one piece of our property then I went with them for the second property, which was a rental property. Prior to Guardian, I was with ADT and I like Guardian better. We wanted to do an upgrade and Guardian offers more interactive things on the internet side which were not offered by ADT so we switched. I had a good interaction with their reps and the installation was done by a one-man band who did a wonderful job. Guardian did a good follow-through and they were able to be flexible with when we had some extenuating circumstances with this last piece of property so I appreciate that. They did a fine job.

A house is being built for me and the developer asked me whether I wanted to have Guardian for home protection. Also, a gentleman named Steve introduced me to Guardian. When I was getting my security system set up with Guardian Protection Services, I dealt with two representatives and they were both very good. The installation of the system went okay. I've had my Guardian security system for two weeks and the features of the system seem to be doing all right.
But there was lack of communication between the developer and Guardian as far as wiring the house correctly, specifically with the useless lag for the lock. Guardian initially put on a different door lock that required a different key. Guardian and the developer should have talked with each other so that they had the same key for both the deadbolt and the door lock. I’m still having a problem with that because the door lock was replaced with a key that could not be matched to the one on the door lock, even though it was from the same flag-type key company. Guardian was out to service this issue once, but they decided not to service it again because I probably won’t use the key in that lock. But the issue still needs to be addressed and either the developer or Guardian should get a key to match my door.

I just bought a new house and my house is fitted with one of those doorbell things that was provided by Guardian. I was told I didn't have to use Guardian, but it was recommended. Everybody at Guardian treated me nicely. I’ve only been recently experiencing an issue with my bill. I changed to get more of the basic package but I got charged for the fancier package, and they still haven’t been able to solve that problem so that has been a not great experience. When I go get somebody, they said that was when the billing office was off, so they would call me back the following day.
It was two weeks ago, but no one ever called me back. I called them today because of my alarm. They had called me to let me know. And I checked to make sure everything was put away, and sure enough, it was. Since I was already on the phone with them, I asked what was the latest with my bill. And whoever I had talked to said that my bill was correct, but I wouldn’t have spent $800 for an experimental package so he recommended I call the guy who I did business with originally. I called and spoke to him, and he said that he was gonna see what was up. I don’t know what they did but hopefully, that gets solved quickly.

I bought a house from Ryan Homes and Guardian Protection Services was the security company that they used, so I went with Guardian. Prior to using Guardian, I lived in an apartment and I didn't have another home security system. I spoke with a Guardian rep named Mike and the only thing I was disappointed with was that I have cats and before I decided to go with Guardian, he told me that my cats would be a problem. I was like, we've got a motion detection device and my cat has already set it off twice. So, now it was like we couldn’t even turn the alarm on because my cats would make it go off.
The installer showed us how to do the installation and it was fine. Everything is good with our system, except that we can’t turn our alarm on when we leave the house because of the motion thing. So, we would like to figure out how we can still have the alarm on and not have the motion sensor on. I’m satisfied with Guardian, but it was like we were lied to at the beginning about the whole pet thing.
Hi Ashley, thank you for reviewing your experience with Guardian Protection! I'm sorry to hear about the trouble with the cats setting off the motion detector.

Guardian Protection Services is affordable, reliable and flexible. The builder had someone during the selection of the option for my new place that was offering Guardian Protection Services, so he explained the whole thing and it's a good deal, especially these days which we need to be protected at home. He was very professional and I was happy with the description of the service, so I decided to get it. I received a call when they were trying to schedule the original setup of the system and that lady was very professional also. She assigned me into an appointment and they went on time. My mother was there during installation, and given that she doesn’t speak any English, the installer was willing to explain me the whole thing by phone and he left the whole documentation. So once I arrived, I followed the instructions and I was able to understand how to operate the system.
I love the app and it operates perfectly. I like the idea of being away and I don’t have to return to turn on the alarm. I can do it remotely, and that’s having flexibility through the system. My mother feels very safe when I am not there. Being a couple of ladies, she likes the idea of having Guardian kind of taking care of us at night. Everything has been very good from my point of view.
However, I'm not glad with everything that I have received so far. I have realized if I open the garage and I park my car, and I stay there, I can be there and the system will not send me an alert. It's the only thing that was weird for me at the very beginning, but maybe there is a device that is additional that they will install in the garage and connect to the main system. I don’t know if that is the way in which the system was designed.
Also, I have been trying to set up the online account, and every time that I put all my name, last name, the billing, and the ZIP, then I receive an error saying that that site cannot be found. I haven't been able to make a call and ask for the help that is needed to set up that account online because that is different from the app. The app is something that I received a login and the initial password, but I don’t know what to expect inside the other one. But for example, when paying, I would like to go and log into the website and check if the payment is due, which I can also do.

A Guardian rep knocked on my door and convinced me I needed it. It was a good interaction and I've had two systems installed. But there was a system already in my house that the previous homeowner had and that I never used, so the first installation for me was a little confusing. There were random things plugged in places and so Guardian took out a bunch of that out. That was in 2014. On the other hand, this most recent installation was very good. The tech was very knowledgeable and he was able to explain all of the things, and I felt familiar with what was going on and why things were being put where.
I like the features in my system. I customized here a little because I put in cameras. However, part of the issues that I have is that I want to keep a pretty low monthly payment, so I can't necessarily have everything I would like to have. Guardian has a website that I can go to and set up when I want things like my outdoor camera to record. So, I tried to set it up several times but it's not working. I'm having some hard time and I'm not sure if that's on me or the system. Also, I would really like to not have a contract and one must be in a contract to be part of Guardian. We were going to get out of the contract and go with a system that did not have one but my payout price was so high, which did not make sense. So, it felt a little bit like I was required to stay with Guardian when I moved because financially, it would have been a burden not to. That was a little frustrating for us who were moving to a new place.
We want a different system and we want more things than we have now, but we also want some more pricing. The whole contract business is a little bit infuriating because I don't think the guy who sold it to me five years ago really explained that to me well. And I felt really taken when I realize that I did not have a way out of this five-year commitment with Guardian. Nevertheless, we moved into a different part of town that we are less familiar with, so it is nice to have the Guardian system. My husband accidentally set it off the other morning, so we know it works. With Guardian, I'm connected to people and there is security.

Guardian had installed the security system when the home was built. Their customer service rep was outstanding. He was very knowledgeable and he explained Guardian's different programs and services as well as their cost. And I felt like I wasn’t in the dark and wouldn’t expect any unexpected services and charges. The features are good too. I have this doorbell wherein I can see who's ringing the doorbell when I'm not at home. I had my own camera system already installed, so I didn’t have to ask him or take him up on his offer of installing security cameras outside the home. He said I could keep it if I'm happy with them and if I do want some of theirs even for the inside of the home, they can provide them. So, again, he gave me all kinds of choices.
Overall, the system's functionality and performance are good. I haven't had any problems when somebody rings the doorbell and I'm not home. Wherever I'm at, my phone rings and let me know there's somebody at the door and then I can tell them, “Oh, I'm feeding my baby right now or I'm in the shower. Can you come back later?” I've worked in a security business for about 34 years and my security is always 100%. I installed my own security camera system, CCTV and that is all recorded. They can even steal the equipment if they want to because it's all on iCloud. The only thing I really didn’t like is the installation fee. Other service providers came out trying to get me to be their customer and they had the lower installation fees or no installation fee. But if I would have gone with them, I would have lost my warranty on the system.

When I had gotten the house, it already had a doorbell camera from Guardian Protection Services installed. I figured it would save money on the installation to deal with them. And as I looked them up online, they seemed to be good. Jessica, their rep, was super knowledgeable and really friendly. I ended up misunderstanding something about the permit that you have to send to the sheriff’s department when you get an alarm and I thought they were paying for it. I misunderstood what she was saying but she gave me a $25 credit towards our bill submitted even though she didn’t have to. And I thought that was cool. A guy was at my house for four hours because I had gotten cameras put up and we had a hard time getting them put in. He was good.
The system's features are cool. On my doorbell camera, you can set it so that if something comes within 30 feet, 15 feet, 10 feet or 5 feet, it will start recording. However, you can't do so on the cameras. The equipment seems to have good quality and the touchpad thing seems sturdy. I bought the system because I have a lot of musical equipment here.

They knew the product and what the best options were for what I needed. They installed the system while the house was being built and thus far I've been happy with it.

The technicians who installed our Guardian system were knowledgeable. That experience was easy and we had no issues. The system is functioning well and the features that we have are good. We also like the smartphone feature. I've been with Guardian before and the old system we had back in the day was just the push button. I decided to stay because they are consistent and their service is reliable.

One of the representatives from Guardian at one of the model homes discussed all the different networking capabilities and security functions of the systems. They got one of their techs once the house was closed and the security system was up and running, and the rest was history. It was pretty straightforward. The tech was knowledgeable and professional. The security is watching the home ‘cause I'm gone for most of the day. I like a certain aspect of being able to access my garage remotely from my phone. The feature to arm and disarm the system remotely is also very convenient. The smartphone features function well, though there are a few seconds' delay for the system to react.

We initially had our conversation with Sammy who was the Guardian Protection Services sales rep. He sold us the product and we had a date that it was supposed to be turned on. Because we had a delay in our settlement date, we never had it turned on until later after the initial start-up date. They billed us based upon the start-up date and there was no activation. So, they should have aligned that, “Okay, this family has never had the system activated, so we shouldn’t be billing them.” They should’ve followed it up with a call but they didn’t. They just went ahead and sent us the bill and that was a little frustrating. But in terms of them coming out and installing everything, my wife was there with them and there didn’t seem to be any issue. And right now, everything seems to be okay.
We haven’t had an issue and tested the system and see about them alerting the police and calling us. But I like That it is in the app, and that we can use the app to open the garage and turn on the alarm and turn it off. I didn’t like having the garage door opener in my car because I do park in a metro. Like a lot of people, you keep your registration in your car just in case your spouse or someone else uses your vehicle. Of course, if somebody breaks in your car, what are they gonna have access to? Your garage door opener and your registration where you live. So, I like that we have that app. Now, I feel a little more secure.
However, Guardian needs to do a better job with their local offices. We initially dealt with them and then once everything was installed, we transferred over to their nationwide monitoring system. It was a little difficult dealing with their local office in terms of who to call and who to talk to to get the whole start-up. We have some furniture at the house so it feels a little more comforting to have that system on, that since we’re not there, at least we know we'll be alerted if something does happen.

Guardian reps came out and walked through the system with us. The system was done before we moved in, it came with the house. And the features are fine. I could open and close remotely through my phone, then I get emails and they wound up going to my spam which is great. So, those email are separated out from everything else. It also tells me who the person is because I assigned the code to somebody else and I could see when he would come in versus us.

I had used ADT before having Guardian Protection Services and it appears that they are too different. Guardian is more home automation while ADT was for home security. Guardian's rep was very good and very knowledgeable. He told us what we needed to do, walked us all through the steps and how the system works. He worked with me well and I was very pleased with his customer service. The installation team was very good too. They went through the steps, what I needed to know about how to activate the system. They explained to me how the system works in various scenarios. My Guardian security system has door lock, garage door opener and speakers. The music system, those were new to me and the installer was very well-versed in explaining those features to me. Since having Guardian in our home, I felt very secure.

I used to have a different home security provider but where I live now, all the homes have Guardian so I have it too. It's of the same arrangement with my previous one, with the keypad and the way it's turned on and off. It’s all the same except I love the security cameras that I have now. However, I need their guys to come back out and put a contact on a window we missed. Having set the whole thing up over the phone, I wasn’t really looking at the plan and I was relying a lot on Guardian to make some recommendations since they have been through it. But it’s my front window which is at the street level that doesn’t have a contact. Another thing, I would've liked to have a keypad at my other convenient spot because right now there’s only one keypad. Fortunately though, I can control the system from my phone, so it’s not a big deal. And it's really convenient. I like that Guardian's service people have been really responsive too.
However, as we set things up in a hurry because of my schedule, I wasn't able to meet their team in person. They did try to get me to come in but I was too busy. I probably would not do that again and I should have taken more time to be more thoughtful about what I wanted to have done. And the other thing is, they asked for this so far in advance. I started talking to them in June and I just closed not even a month ago. So it’s just a long period of time to ask me to start thinking about that before I had done any walk-throughs. So I would have preferred to have it closer to the time when I could have walked through, to talk about what kind of security I wanted.

Everything's been good with Guardian, except I have an issue with one of the items. They set up an appointment to set up my door lock with the keypad, but when the technician came in, they didn’t have a lock, which was stupid. Then they scheduled me a different appointment, and they came over to fix it. A few days later, I developed a little problem with the internet. It wasn’t working right, so I called up for another appointment. They said it would come last Saturday, then on Friday I got a call. They said they had to cancel it and reschedule three weeks away, which I said was not really fair. So, I called the technician privately on his private phone, and he came over. It seems to be working now, but it’s still not working well. The light is blinking and they’re telling me it could be a bad battery. I said, “How could it be a bad battery? It was a brand new lock.”
I called Guardian back again and they wanted to give me the beginning of June, which I said was not right. If I go out and get this lock from a store or anyone else, they would not give me this runaround. It could be that the lock was in the showroom for God knows how long and I got an old one. But I don’t even know how to change the battery. It’s not that simple. You have to open it up and I’m afraid to do it myself for the first time. If I lock it with a pin, the code works. But if somebody was to ring the doorbell in the front and I wanted to open the door for someone, I could not do it. I even spoke to the sales office yesterday and they have models of homes that use their locks, and they told me the same thing, which was that the locks have issues at times.

First, the one star is for their business practices. BUYER BEWARE when you sign the contract. Story time... The first house we had them in, everything was free upfront, and we signed a 36 month contract. FREE, everything was FREE!!! Signed their contract and when we sold our house and moved 33 months later, we wanted to carry their services over to our new rental home. They offered to just charge me an install fee of (around $79 or so) and renew my contract (mind you, I only had a few months left on my first home contract of 36 months). So ok, NP, it's a few bucks, just renew and install all new stuff (which THEY RECOMMENDED because they wanted the new resident of my first home to pick up their services). So, no issues thus far into our second home/contract with them.
Well, we have moved again and because we have bought our forever home and we were only at the second residence for 14 months. I call them up to, again to relocate services and I still have 22 months left on my contract, but like last time, I’m just going to renew and sign the contract, pay an install fee and get new equipment again; not much different than the last move, right?? GUESS WHAT? MY INSTALL FEE IS NOW??? EIGHT HUNDRED DOLLARS ($800)!!! AND THAT’S WITH A 60 MONTH CONTRACT. I didn’t even ask what the 36 month contract cost was.
That’s right, from free, to $79 to $800… I’ll let you decide how you feel about how this played out. The second home install was so cheap because they knew if they charged me anything ridiculous, I was just going to pay out the monthly monitoring fee of $40 a month, which would have been $120 and PEACE OUT!! Now that I have 22 months left, 22x50 (monthly fee) would be $1100. So, they figure, “We’ll charge him so much because he will either pay the $750 to get out of the contract or the $800 to continue raping him for 5 years.” I was absolutely floored when that $ figure came out of the rep's mouth. I’m not sure what I’m going to do yet, but this had to be said publicly. And my situation is not a unique one either.

When my husband was living, he caught himself on fire in his machine shop. We also had a gun shop in the basement of our home. Several people had said Guardian was always there and they were good and they were understanding if your alarm went off and you didn’t get to it, so that’s why we picked it. We’ve had it for several years and they just put a new system in because my home line is wireless. The new installation process was the same as the last. It has another box on there as a wireless and the features offered in my system are fine. I’ve been very ill and I had major surgery right after my husband passed away about over a year ago and I almost didn’t make it. The rep understood my situation and when this gentleman came in, I sort of briefed him on what was going on and he was very kind and considerate. He did what he needed to do, did his job well, thanked me and left. So, I was pleased.

It appears quotations are available for new homes BUT I wanted an approximate quotation for an existing home that I was purchasing and Guardian was totally incapable of providing anything.

Hello, Guardian Protection Services has no record of this name or address in our system database as a current customer nor as a sales prospect. We are happy to assist all new customers with free sales quotes.
Guardian Alarm (which is a separate company from Guardian Protection Services headquartered in Pennsylvania) is big in Michigan so I wonder if this consumer is mistaken on which Guardian he spoke to.
It is standard practice for our sales reps to offer an in home appointment if in a branch area, which Michigan is not, so our reps would not have offered an in home visit and would’ve quoted over the phone if he actually talked to us.

A lot of my family members use Guardian Protection Services. Their customer representatives have always been very helpful. I called them a few times about billings and to set up the initial appointment and they always did what I needed. Their installer came on time and he showed me everything that I needed.

I'm one of those few people that like to double check that their alarm is on or the fact that if I needed to turn it off from my phone for somebody who doesn’t know the code, I can do that as well.

We used Comcast at our old house, then we built a new house and Guardian Protection Services was recommended by the builder. Both have good service but the technicians for Comcast are easier to reach. I’ve had a hard time reaching the guy who set me up with the Guardian so I had to ask my questions in order to disclose that it was a five-year contract. The five-year contract thing is a very big deal and they should definitely explain that to people. I wouldn't have an issue with it if I would have known. It seemed like it was thrown in there.
The initial sales rep is always great when they start selling the product but then after that I can't get in contact with anybody. I had to call the builder before I moved in and got them to call directly to get the person to call me. Now the issue was more with the salesperson and not the technician. The technician was okay. The installation issue was that they required me to have some type of wireless provider beforehand. However, they didn't communicate with the wireless providers so what they've set up in my house was not feasible for Verizon. I had to go back and forth three times with them and Verizon, trying to figure out where the plugs were, why the plug was here and what didn't work. It was a service depending on another service but they didn't communicate with the one providing the original service.
If they ever want me to find a wireless provider, they should have some type of relationship with these providers so that I don't have to be the middle person to tell them to set it up like this and that they need it like that. That's not my job. But the guy that set up the system was really good at showing me how to do the customizing. He let me know about the app and the online thing. I can tailor what I wanted to do, so that was good. However, the equipment is outdated. I work in technology and Comcast has way better equipment. The look and feel of Guardian’s equipment are just old.
I have a huge camera on my porch and no one wants a huge camera on their porch. There has to be smaller equipment. I've seen the screen pad when I was a child, while Comcast has a touchscreen one. The technology is old for the price that we paid for this. Nonetheless, I love it. Guardian calls if my alarm goes off, although the alarm system itself doesn’t give me a sense of security. But the monitoring team is amazing and better than Comcast. They call if I had a question. A guy even called me back the next day to check up. I would definitely recommend it.

I bought a new house and I had to have a home security system. I was told that Guardian Protection Services was who I had to go with, so I did. When the system was first explained to me, when I needed to pick which sensors I wanted before it was built, their reps never said that there was gonna be a two-way speaker in my house, that my privacy was going to be violated from the get-go. That wasn't explained to me until Rey, who installed the system, mentioned it. Their rep, Kyle, was supposed to send me paperwork so that this two-way box would be deactivated. I'm about to rip it off but he said that it was not being monitored.
Rather than providing me peace of mind, all it has done is stress me out, knowing that someone could be listening when they're not supposed to. Rey was friendly and personable, and he walked me through everything. Now, it's been a week and I have not set the alarm since Rey left. I don't even know how to use it even now. I would have to call. So, I just close all doors and windows, press 2 then call, then press. I'd have to sit here and then play with it and hope that the Fire Department don't get to call. So far, they haven't sent me paperwork. It would have been nice if during the sales part they would walk me through the features because nobody ever mentioned anything about a two-way speaker that someone is gonna talk to me inside my home. It would have been nice to know that from the get-go.

The person from Guardian who I interacted with, even before my house was built, was Chandler and he was knowledgeable. I called him up quite often and he was very prompt, courteous and able to resolve most of the issues, even after the installation. I'm happy with all the interactions that I had with Guardian. Also, the installation was seamless. The only problem that I had with the installation, and maybe it was my fault, was about my garage and my thermostat. The tech wasn't able to attach them to Guardian because he said I had already connected them to smart things and so he couldn't take it off and put it back to Guardian. I have an appointment for tomorrow just to get this resolved. But apart from that problem there were no major issues.
The features in my system were good as well. I am happy that I have been able to integrate it with Alexa. As soon as my garage and the thermostat are hooked up, I will be all set. Also the smartphone features are good. However, I would want the doorbell to be less sensitive because even if I just put it at the minimum level of sensitivity, it still records about 36 to 37 clips in a 12-hour period. Nevertheless, having Guardian Protection Services in my home makes us feel secure especially since I have heard a couple of cases in my neighborhood where they were broken into in a couple of houses.

The sales rep from Guardian Protection Services was helpful so it was good and the installer was prompt, efficient, showed me how to do everything and answered all my questions.

The installation went smoothly and it was perfectly fine but I noticed that during construction, somebody set up one of the ethernet ports incorrectly. So, I need to call them back and have them double-check it and rewire it. But other than that, it was positive, professional and well-done.
It’s easier to use the app than having to manually deal with the keypad and being able to control the thermostat from the same app are both nice. It’s a basic security system but it’s good quality and it’s exactly what I would expect. As long as it does its job and doesn’t set off any false alarm, it’s fine. I arm it every single day and I use it much more frequently, especially because of the app. If I'm walking up to my car, I'll just arm the system and that's it. So, it's easier to utilize and I feel like my security has gone up. It’s a straightforward system and moderately priced compared to other security systems so I’d tell my friends to go for it.

My dad has Guardian and he referred it to me. We had their sales guy come out and he came with everything. Then and there we wanted to have a system as we were then moving into our house. And so, they scheduled for the tech to come out and install it. Then he did the work and it was amazing. It took a little bit to try to get it on because of finding the wall direction to put it. Ours was the first one the tech would be putting, so he was like learning as he was going, which I didn't mind. It took a while longer than expected but he was nice and he was going through everything as he was installing it. And since having it installed, I definitely feel more secure.
I got a package with the glass break that was included in the panel, which was cool because I didn’t have to get it separately. And then, we love the doorbell so we wanted that too. I also wanted a camera in the back but it was so much at that time so we couldn’t get it. They just gave us a good payment on what we could get for now and then they explained that we could add more parts on to it later on. But the equipment that we have now, we totally love it. And it's nice knowing that the alarms were on. We've had a couple of incidents where we left the door open then the alarm went off, and they were really quick to respond. So, we are enjoying it a lot so far.
Plus, I love the phone features too. If we forget to do something when we're in a rush, I can do it on my phone. I know how to delete videos from my phone one by one, but I don't know if there's an option to delete all because we have a lot of videos in there. I don't know if I should go online to the website and delete it. Nonetheless, I've already referred Guardian to some people and I told them about the quick installation and great customer service.

Guardian was paired with the builder and I feel a little bit more comfortable when I can communicate through one person with everybody. It’s a little bit easier that way. I also did a little bit of research on Guardian and they seemed like a reputable company. And when I met with the rep in person, he seemed to be able to answer all of my questions and provide the answer I was looking for. I got a phone call about the installation about a month before we were going to close but I told I was gonna call them back. So I made a phone call about two days after I closed and we scheduled something within a month which was reasonable.
When the guy came out, he was on-time and very professional. I liked him. He was friendly and he seemed to get everything working. There was a little hiccup but it added like 15 minutes to the installation time. It was no big deal. He gave me some basic dos and don’ts, and what would be the best setting to use if we're in the house and if we're away. He walked me through it, showed me what happens if the alarm goes off and told me what to do, how to call the police from the pad and how to change my code. He even helped me pair it up to my phone then to my wife’s phone. Overall, he did a great job.
The smartphone features seem to work pretty smoothly. But it was a little difficult to set up at first. I didn't really mind though, because if it’s a little difficult for me to set up and I know what I’m doing, I feel like it might be a little bit harder for someone to steal it or to break into it. So I liked it. Besides, it was very easy to add my wife’s account on once the guy explained to me what I was doing. The smartphone app is very intuitive once you get it set up.
The system is pretty straightforward and I feel good about the quality. I like that I can pair it up to a couple of different things in my house. I did not realize I can even pair it up to some porch lights and that was cool. The only problem I have so far with Guardian is I try to sign up for my account online to pay my invoice that way. But it wouldn’t catch my address for whatever reason but I’m gonna give it another try. Overall, it was a painless setup and a good experience. Now, there's more peace of mind when my wife and daughter are there and I’m not around. That’s the biggest thing.

Guardian Protection installed all low voltage wiring in our house. Then sometime last year, their rep and I went over our options for our home security system. We have gotten the basic system and I have a lot of other things that I've added on personally but I got what I wanted. Then the installer came, set everything up and turned it all on. He was great, efficient, and effective. He's got done and got out. Everything went well and didn't take up much of my time. There was a little snafu though, but nothing too major. For some reason, they put everything in the ceiling when they installed the surround sound system. We had eventually gotten it fixed, but it was very strange that their default was in the ceiling.
The smartphone features are also easy to use and helpful when I forget to set the alarm when we walk out the door, which is every day. The system works perfectly for me too. It has helped me feel more secure. I moved from an apartment with controlled entry to a house, and it's nice to have that extra layer that we lost when we moved. But in hindsight, we probably would have done more security stuff on our own.

The security system from Guardian Protection Services was offered to us as a package on the new building and dealing with their reps was good. I closed on the house a month ago and they were good in prorating and activating the bill only till I moved a month later. They said everything will be back footed and my money will be refunded back. The installer finished his part and walked me through what has to be done. It was seamless and it was good. I'm moving in so it's settling and it's too much work so all I’m doing is arming and disarming as of now. The doorbell feature was good, but not really useful. The security features are okay but I have to explore more. The quality of the equipment is good, the infrastructure is there and Guardian is a reputable company so, I wouldn't have to worry about the security of my kids.

Guardian Protection Services happened to be one of the providers the builder allowed from the construction so I ended up going to them but I have no regrets and they have been good so far. The installer who came was very nice and he took care of our new house. While he was installing, he was careful and the folks that I got were very friendly and they explained everything well.
I have been using it for two weeks now and the quality of Guardian's equipment and the app itself were good as well as the price and the service. Home security offers peace of mind when you're living with kids, so that’s always a plus. I have the features that I needed so I'm good. But nine of the cameras went offline so I kept getting a text message that the modem device didn’t connect. They just go offline and come back on and I was meaning to call Guardian about that. Also, the cameras they installed were not the 360. It gives you just one area so if the company is looking for improvement, 360 cameras are much better. Some other providers have the ones that attach to the roof which are the ones that has the 360 angle so Guardian should offer those.

Guardian got a deal with the association complex that I moved into so I went with them for my home security system. Everyone from the person who did the preliminary setup for the wiring for the home security system and some of the wiring while the house was being constructed to the gentleman who came out and activated everything had been outstanding.
The installers were professional and very detailed. They provided a walkthrough of everything when it was completed. They had me set up, armed and disarmed, deactivate, download the app and showed me all the ins and the outs of the system. The installers were informative and very helpful. They answered all my questions. Everything about the smartphone features that I’ve done has been fantastic. It was a very simple download. The use, interface and execution are very streamlined. When they came to set up the system, I did not have cable or internet yet, so they told me that I was gonna have to call the 1800 number once I got cable and internet connection and then they could set up the final motion sensor on the garage door.
So far, I’m very pleased with the home security system, the installation and the activation of the air conditioning unit and the temperature control of the house. I’ve only been in the house for a week but at this point, I certainly have no complaints. I talked to the gentlemen about the installation of the lights and locks that are z-wave compatible so that I could hook those up to the system as well because of the simplicity of it.
Having Guardian certainly makes me feel secure. It’s the first house that I’ve ever owned so it’s the first time that I’ve lived with the security system, but the diligence and the repetitive nature of setting it at night and setting it when I leave the house is a good habit to have in general. As safe as the neighborhood is and as safe as things have or can be in the area that I live in, it’s never a bad idea to be overly cautious and protective. Guardian puts a good sense of peace and security into general, everyday living. It's certainly well-worth the investment.

Guardian Protection Services was one of the preferred options through the builder. The installation tech arrived at the time he said he was gonna arrive. He was really nice, very knowledgeable and very professional. He explained how to use the service and he walked me through everything so that was very helpful. I did like him and the customer service that he provided.
He installed a few pieces of equipment such as the sensor, which he installed in the pantry on the second level. He also activated the actual security tap which is in the basement floor. The installation only took about 30 minutes. And then, he started walking me through the website, installing the apps and how to pay. That may have been about another 15 minutes. Overall, the entire process was very positive.
All of these are new to me and the features are really good. I really like the fact if I have an intruder, I have the ability to put in a different code which alerts the police system. The Guardian's smartphone features are also good. The fact that you can access, disarm and arm your alarm system through the app is definitely convenient. They also have an extensive amount of features that you can add on and I can't think of anything I would want to add that they don't already have. I would recommend them.

We had a security system before but this was a new build so we didn’t have one at this particular location. We got some other quotes but Guardian was the one who was recommended by the builders and so, we talked with them. We liked the quote, their features and what they had to offer. All the newer security system providers offer some of this thing but they still don’t have everything. Also, a lot of the other companies had basic packages but you couldn’t really fine tune it for exactly what you wanted. And what we wanted was that we didn’t have to buy everything to get certain features and that we could break the package down.
Guardian's professionalism was much better compared to my previous company and in my experience, with the questions that we’ve had, their customer service was very personable. I actually talked to a person and they walked me through what I needed to know, so that made a big difference to us. The installation team did a lot of it before we moved in but a lady came out and did the final install and she showed us how to use the system, download the app, and get online. She was super helpful, quick and considerate. She also gave good feedback and helpful tips. When we told her some ideas that we have had for the feature or what we were thinking, she was able to guide us and gave us options to look at and think about. So, she was very knowledgeable as well.
So far, we like the quality of the equipment. I set the alarm with the phone and I deactivate it. Guardian gives us a sense of peace that the alarm is set and that anything from fire to whatever is going to be taken care of without coming home and not knowing that something has happened. I recommend that my friends talk with Guardian because they know their products and their customer service is awesome. They listen to what your needs are and then find what you actually want without trying to upsell you. They offer the other things but it’s not high pressure.

We were dissatisfied with our previous provider and we asked around to some of our friends and neighbors. They recommended Guardian, so we gave them a call. The gentleman came out and talked about them and we decided to give them a try. Compared to the provider I had, Guardian is superior. We have Guardian for 13 years now. Every interaction I've had with people has been very positive. Everybody's been very nice, pleasant, and professional and all they wanna do is help us with our security system. I like the equipment that Guardian provides. We had the original stuff for seven years and they came out about six years ago and put in some new equipment. We got some wireless contacts and did a little bit more stuff that was more technically advanced at that point.
They came out again a couple of months ago and did a tech refresh on our system so that we're up-to-speed with the latest equipment and I'm satisfied with their equipment. The new system that we have offers some of the features that we didn't have before up to and including a wireless doorbell camera, and it was a deciding factor for us. They've also updated a lot of their smoke and heat detection systems. The features that we enjoy are the convenience of the online system, the ability to monitor everything online and generally the modern aspects that they are providing. The alarm.com app feature seems to be a sweet little thing to have, too. We may have had it on our older system and didn't know about it. But now that we do know about it, my wife and I are very enthusiastic about it.

Guardian Protection Services is a lot better than the system I had and a lot more simplified. When the sales rep came, he told me about the steps and the process but I wasn’t expecting to get hit with a bill four days after my estimation and so I called customer service. The interaction with the customer service rep went well and how the billing cycle works was explained to me. I had two cameras installed and the main board and the installation was pretty cool which took them only three hours. They sorted what the old system was and even removed the old mainframe. The technicians were excellent and professional. They told me what they needed to do, what they were doing, why they were doing it and explained to me how it works.
I like the features and I can turn my garage open and closed because I've seen that when I was playing with the mobile app. The smartphone features are pretty neat and I can monitor who’s coming in and out without a major fuss about it. They give me a notification that it’s been armed and disarmed but I don’t really need one every time somebody opens or closes a door or what passed in the sensor. Still, it’s good and I like it very much. My wife loves it also because I have two relatives that live close by and they’d stop and so she can tell that I ain’t there when I didn’t open the door. If I have friends looking into home security, I would tell them that it's a very simple system to use and real secure.

I had a good experience with the reps from Guardian. I called and they came out right away and met with us. They walked us through what the system was, what they provided and what the costs were. Given the equipment that they were able to provide as well as the cost structure, it made sense that we get their service. The experience during installation was good as well. The guy who came out was professional and he told us what he was doing. He wasn’t there very long. He pulled all the stuff in and got us up and running. Our system has done everything we wanted to do and it's got good features like the ones for the smartphone.
However, there are a couple of things that I was hoping that they were able to do. It has a Geo-fence feature so it lets us know once we get a certain distance away from the house if the alarm is not armed. So, my hope was that I’d be able to get a reminder like when I’m driving home like, “Hey, don’t forget your alarm is armed.” Still, the system's good overall and really easy to use. I would definitely tell anyone interested to consider Guardian.

I had Guardian in my old home. My account manager, who I was dealing with, was incredibly responsive. He worked to get me the equipment and the installation that I needed. I was building a new home and I never had any issues if I needed to add anything. He was definitely on top of it and helped me get exactly what I needed. The customer service went a long, long way as well. My sales rep went over and beyond to get our business. She was fantastic and amazing. I even have her number where I would call her for about anything. I got a call one day that somebody was coming out to do the final installation. We had scheduled that day and then I had to cancel because we weren't ready for it yet. And for some reason, it didn't get through the technician but he was heading out here. I got the voicemail and I'm trying to figure out who to call quickly. I called the rep, she handled it and got me rescheduled for the right time.
The installation was also fine. The installers came out and hard wired the home before the drywall got put in. And then they had to come back out and activate the system after the drywall. We've had a couple of minor issues where a contact fell off on one window and another one fell off or it never got put on. Regardless, when I called them, Guardian sent me the two contacts and then no other questions asked.
Also, the features of the system are great. We love the app. We love the ability to set my alarm whether I'm home or not. My only request or suggestion would be, and they may have this now, but I know that other security companies have the option to do the smart home. Having Alexa and Echo upgradeable to arm your alarm of the smart home system would be an advantage. Nevertheless, the overall functionality of the system is great. I feel secure. It's funny because it's potentially a little bit more sensitive which I like. I have a window break sensor in one of my windows in the bathroom. Not that it goes off, but I can hear the beep sometimes when the cabinet door is shoved a little harder. It breaks that sensor but there are no issues. It just took me a moment to figure out what that was.

I've used Guardian Protection Services before, stopped for a little while, and then I went back to them. The equipment was already installed in my house. We've spent a good chunk of money on it but I couldn’t afford the monthly payments, so I stopped using it back then. The first rep that I spoke with was very helpful and she took her time in explaining a lot of things to me which I did appreciate. Also, the gentleman that came out and did the install was very polite and kind. However, I had a disagreement on the location of something, so I called someone else telling them that I didn’t feel that the equipment was going to be beneficial to me because of the location of the install in regards to how my house was positioned. So, Guardian opted to change my contract or my order to provide me with an additional item for basically the same cost and then it suited that concern about that blind spot. Guardian definitely did what they needed to do to help with that.
However, although I upgraded to the fastest internet to be able to see the cameras in real time, I still have that problem with the cameras from time to time. It takes a long time to load. And I'm paying a lot of money for this equipment and I'm paying more for my internet now. Yet I have troubles sometimes even using my service because it doesn’t download in real time. We ordered pizza and my son and I had been watching this tracker if we could see the pizza guy as he was going up. We saw the driveway cam and then by the time that we switched to the front door cam to try to see him walking up, in the time that it took for him to walk from the car to the front door, it was still loading. Furthermore, the camera didn’t even load the image again until about five minutes after he left.
Nevertheless, everybody at Guardian was pretty professional and helpful during my experience. The reason why I did all the necessary reinstall or upgrades was we had a break-in and the people that have been working with us have been very compassionate about the situation. They were very helpful answering the questions or any kind of problems we've had, so I can't complain about Guardian at all except for that delay. I've had a good experience with Guardian Protection Services and I would definitely recommend them.

I had a fight with Guardian because they didn’t install the proper things that they promised me. The rep whom I spoke to left the company and my account was given to someone else. He just sent me an email saying that if I approve it, they could go ahead and install. And I said that I was fine with it because I had something in mind, so I thought that he might have covered everything. However, he didn’t. I had everything in the email.

The security system is working fine. But when I tested the speakers, they tend to crack when I tried to hear in a loud volume, which I didn’t see when I signed up the speakers right at the model home. I did jack up the volume too high and it was sounding okay at that time, but at my place, I noticed a few disturbance at the back when I hear the speakers.

Guardian Protection Services did everything that they said they were going to do, so everything went smoothly. In addition, they’ve been very cooperative. Not only did they do the security work, but they also did the installation of a surround sound system and wired everything prior to having the sheetrock up. My only issue is between the brand-new TV from Best Buy and the wiring from Guardian. When I turn the television on I have to change everything right away. Meaning, I’m not getting the surround sound just by turning the TV on, which is what it should do. Every time I want to use it, I have to reset until the speakers work.
I paid to have this all done behind sheetrock so this has to be corrected now. So far, everything with the Guardian company has been fine and they’re going out of their way to help me. The guy who sold it to me keeps coming back in and ordering other items to make it work and trying different wiring as far as plugging it in. He brought me an optical wire. He tried hooking it up and did everything correctly, but it’s not doing what he said it would do. We’re going to have to find out what is defective and fix the problem, but that seems to be on the TV end at this point. In addition, I was listing a rubber bumper on a subwoofer and he exchanged the whole subwoofer. He was exceptional.

I'm not sure if I just hit the button or if it wasn’t responding when I did it the first time and I hit it twice, so it armed it and disarmed right away. Other than that, although I'm still trying to figure everything out, like when I want to use stuff or when I don’t, and I would have liked it if we could customize it a little bit more instead of just get what was offered, the system's features are good. I don’t really worry about anything anymore. There's a construction going on around the house too, but I'm not really worried about any of the workers doing anything.

I did a little bit of research on alarm companies in Florida. In New Jersey, I used AT&T, and while I’m not living in my residence yet, the overall experience with Guardian Protection Services has been 100% better. The rep was the best. She was on top of everything and was very accommodating, especially knowing that I live out of state and that I had a timeframe to work with. The installer was wonderful and the installation was phenomenal. So far the equipment has been wonderful and I can’t wait until I move in. I have internet that I can use to see the pictures of who is coming in and out of the house. I’ve never seen anything like the features. It's wonderful. I feel very secure because every time my friend enters or lets a contractor into my home, I’m notified immediately of entry and exit, as well as the disarming and arming of the alarm.

I was solicited by one of the employees and I liked what he was offering, which was the Guardian Protection Services. The interactions with the sales rep were great. During the installation, the guy was very friendly and he was on time. And my wife was able to make it to her work, and so it was good. However, an alarm wouldn’t clear and I had to call back to get it done. The rep was able to come out the very next day and we got it done. I like the ability to be able to monitor my home remotely. Every time someone approaches my door, I get an alert, letting me know, and that's awesome.

I had Guardian Protection Services out at our business and I picked it up out there. Their reps were really good at what they were doing. I wasn’t here for the first installation and I had to have them come back to do another one and they showed me some features there. Overall, our experience with Guardian has been good and we're happy with them.

We had a new build home and Guardian Protection was offered by the builder. It was a package and we went with it. I've talked to a couple of their reps and it has been awesome so far. Also, the features are great. A lot of the wiring was set up before we were there and they had to come back and install the thermostat and the alarm system. We've had a great experience at this point and I hope that continues.
Hi David,
