Antwan (sic) helped me to recover my passcode. He was very pleasant, calm and knew exactly what to do. I was upset as we had our first alarm in the several decades of being a customer; a plumber set off the smoke alarm when soldering. Your people called and asked for the passcode which after all these years I had no idea what it could be. I explained the situation but she called the local volunteer fire company anyway; this took people away from their jobs to rush out here. If this had been a door activated alarm I could understand calling the police in this situation, but not when someone present in the house says there is no fire and can explain what happened.

As much as you pay for the cameras you should be able to watch it on tablet as long as you want instead of 5 mi. It not fair for them to give or sell you this equipment that they don't include how it works or details about camera. They need to describe the ins and out in detail, what it will and will not do. When you get the merchandise it's too late you either pay a electrician to run the wire or you do it yourself. Still you are out of time and money and when you call in they explain to you how it works and say "We are SORRY" BUT DON'T FIX IT. That isn't good business because that customer has all that time invested in it.

I received the upgraded hardware for my cellular primary system and was able to get it set up without too much difficulty. However, the date/time on the tablet would not auto correct, so Carlos walked me through a series of steps to manually adjust it. This system is at our cabin in northern Minnesota and has no internet service, so cellular service is my only option for a security system. Until you came out with the upgrade, I had been disconnected for over a year, which was very disconcerting, so I'm pleased to be able to monitor the system once again from Minneapolis. In addition to the entry sensors, the temperature sensor is of critical importance. The temperature during the winter gets below zero quite often, a couple of years ago dropping to -47 F, not factoring the wind chill. Should the power and/or the furnace go out, I would have very little time to respond before the pipes would freeze and burst.
Except for the time I was disconnected as you were developing the new system upgrades, I've been very pleased with LifeShield. Your technical support is especially good. Your technicians are knowledgeable, patient, and easy to understand, the latter of which is important to a hard-of-hearing, technology-challenged old fart like me.

I've had techs in to my house. They can figure out why the alarm trips. Motion sensor shows movement but does not set off alarm. What's the good in having it? When I call tech support they tell me I'm wrong, when I can clearly see the order of events that have unfolded. If I weren't under contract I'd switch to SimpliSafe.

I called to cancel my service, I been a loyal customer for almost 2 years (19 months). I sold my home 7 months ago and moved into a apartment. I have not used the service in 7 months. My system has been disconnected for the entire time. I called to cancel due to lack use and it's cheaper to pay 195 cancellation, then to honor my contract at 39.99 which is over 400 bucks. The lady in cancellations was rude and kept telling me what "could not happen" even if manager came back. And would not let me speak to another manager. She was at lunch and would not come back for awhile. Apparently it's only 1 supervisor on duty. She said she would get my name and number and call me back when the supervisor came back. That never happen.

AT long last, my system is performing just fine. I finally convinced you that piece of crap ASUS touchpad was the cause of all my system malfunctions. I received another keypad to replace it and sent the tablet back to you. It was deleting my router password and causing all sorts of connection problems. This was my third pad and finally I had the course of the touch pad system. Now my system works just fine and I don't miss the features of the touch pad anyway. If I want to see the listing of events I merely log into the LifeShield app on my cell phone. THANKS for the keypad and you would do well to junk those nonfunctioning ASUS touch pads. If you would shift to an iPad I would be willing to give it another try. But will keep the keypads I have now just in case. Oh and by the way. Much of my recent problems started when they uploaded the new software to my touch pad. It totally blew the system out of the water.

It took a while but the agent was very thorough and determined that the original environmental sensor that we received earlier this week was not functioning properly. He has ordered a replacement. It was discovered in the process that there are basically two sets of conflicting instructions in the product package- it would help to have the correct instructions. Agent was great. Hope the replacement works as it is extremely important to us in the coming weeks.

I have had your system since January 2015, about a year. The system was installed by a DirecTV installer. About a week after the installation door and window sensors began to malfunction because the tape gave way or the sensor loosened. I called your office on 1/7/2016 asking about the fire alarm part of the system and how does it work. In conversation with your customer service, who was very helpful, found that the fire sensor was installed wrong and never worked. Also found that the motion sensor was installed upside down and never worked. I feel that someone from your office at least at the install should have found a way to check if the system was working properly. I paid a full year for partial service and if there was a fire I'm not sure my insurance would have covered me because I applied for the alarm discount.

Every time I have called into LifeShield for support, agents are friendly and helpful and I have no complaints. I do, however, have complaints about my security system. It has never worked properly, I had to call in the same day I had it installed because the keypad would not work. I had to rip the keyboard off of my wall to take the batteries out to reset it. The touchpad needs to be restarted regularly or it freezes. I called again in November because the keypad was no longer communicating with the system. The agent was helpful and said he would send out a new keypad. I never received it. I called again 2 nights ago and was hung up on twice when I was called back so I wouldn't have to wait on the line for an agent.
Each time I was disconnected I lost my place in line. I'm sure it was innocent mistakes, but it was frustrating nonetheless. I waited and called back last night and got through to an agent right away. She was very helpful and determined that the order for the keypad back in November had never been placed and that she would send it through now along with an order for a new touchpad because mine was not registering and a new keychain because mine broke. Before I signed up with LifeShield I had ADT and never experiences any problems. I am not happy with my system and often don't use it because I am worried the alarm will go off and I won't be able to turn it off. I would cancel my service but don't want to get charged $15 for each month I have left on my contract. I am frustrated and I feel stuck with a system that does not work for my needs, or at all really.
