    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.

    The Customer Service Rep solved the problem with the mini-control panel; however, now it is telling me that I cannot arm the system. I believe I saw it flash that I needed to change batteries in the CAMERA which is located about 10' from the floor over a window. I AM 76 YEARS OLD - How am I supposed to change batteries in that camera? Can I bypass the camera on this control panel?

They are all nice but each company told me either to buy a new Netgear (router) or it was passing it around on each other's products that I use. SO I switched service to one Box router AT&T as it is their problem now and it still is a issue about getting the system to work w/ home LifeShield. The home shield did lower my monthly bill but I am now at the point when I am done with all contracts, to give up on all systems, and return to simplified ways and no contracts, do a antenna and lock up w/ board indoor.

    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.

    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.

    DirecTV wrote to say my text messages and console alerts will be discontinued. The rep said no more console alerts but text messages to my phone will still be in effect.

    I was initially calling to cancel my LifeShield coverage due to the problems I am experiencing with the system. My keypads don't work, even after rebooting them, they show a blank screen. My garage door sensor is too far for the base unit to detect it. So I have had to disable the sensor. The system regularly disconnects from my internet server. Basically, the system does not work for me. The Customer Care Rep guided me to the AT&T Security System, keeping me as a customer.

    I was sent an upgrade for my system. After setting up the wireless and tablet, I had difficulty with the keypad. It kept saying unable to register. Then I noticed the date and time on the tablet was incorrect. I couldn't find a way to correct it. I am being sent another tablet and the keypad is now functioning correctly.

    I like the service overall. My biggest issue is the lack of technical support after hours. On 2 different occasions my alarm went off and I was unable to turn off. I don't recall the exact issues, however I was unable to reach technical support due to non-business hours and my alarm was going off at 7:30 am... The call center could not assist. I was stuck with an alarm sounding and unable to leave for work until the issue resolved. Very very frustrating.
