Great Tech Support experience. When our system was first installed, the Keypad was not hard-wired or left with an A/C cord for constant power. In the few months we've had the system, we've gone through several batteries and even issues with the touchpad. Tech Support was great in agreeing to send a power cord for the keypad and a new touchpad. Thank you for being such an accommodating company!!

Very disappointed with LifeShield. I have had the security system for a year. Signed up because I wanted something on the cheaper end and basic. System feels cheap (my sensors constantly fall off the wall) and customer service is bad. For instance, after having problems installing the system, I called to cancel my contract and to keep me they offered to reduce my monthly fee by $5 a month.
A year later I haven't been able to get them to honor their promise and now I'm locked into my contract. Another example: I recently ordered an accessory. It was promised to me before I went out of town for the holiday. It never came so I checked the tracking and it was never shipped. Rather than overnight me a replacement ASAP they instead don't believe I was promised the part by a certain date, say I need to pay to have the replacement part shipped to me, and they have to listen to my previous call to verify that someone said they'd ship me the part by a certain date. Rather than believe their customers who have never missed a payment and try to accommodate their needs LifeShield starts from a place of distrust and is just about the bottom line. I'm considering paying to end my contract early so I can be with a better, even more expensive, security system that respects their customers and treats them fairly.

There is NO WAY a product should break so easily especially for $42. You are sending me another one at no charge this time.

Pretty happy with this company now. At first, it was scary. We would be away and get an email alert that would say "Window Broken? Or Front Door Open?" It would be great if they offered some cameras to make up for our stress. Besides all of that it is a great company.

Whenever we go away for a day or so, the alarm will post on our cell phone FRONT DOOR OPEN, WINDOW OPEN... We end up calling the police and they said everything was fine. It happen once again and called the police again and they said we will have to pay if it is another false alarm again. So I am just about ready to go elsewhere. It's a real problem because we end up calling family 3 am and the neighbors. They are all sick of us and said GET A BETTER ALARM SYSTEM. Not sure if I have a contract? If so I don't think I will stay with your company. Tired of feeling uneasy when away.

The customer service agent was helpful as this has been a common problem experienced by many LifeShield Security customers. The customer service agent aided me in solving this issue but there was one more issue they were not able to assist me with. That issue is with the loss of communication between the sensors and the base station. It has been a prevalent problem that I would like to see resolved. It does not give me great confidence when my doors or window sensors frequency lose communication. I lose the feeling of security and trust in the system that is installed.

A glass shatter alarm was sent to LifeShield. Unfortunately I didn't see the multiple phone calls and emails that were sent to me because they went to my cell phone and I keep my cell in my purse while at work and my purse is locked in a drawer. I saw calls and emails when I was leaving work for the day (three hours later). I immediately phoned LifeShield and the customer rep helped to reassure me that everything was okay and that it was a false alarm. The customer service rep said that if there was a problem the police would have notified them when they arrived at my home. The customer service rep then asked if I wanted to hold while she confirmed, I said yes. She confirmed what she told me and I was so relieved.
I arrived home shortly thereafter and there was no glass shattered. I have the shatter glass alarm feature on one of my windows and there was no reason that it should have alarmed, the window is completely intact. I am so appreciative for the customer service rep's compassion to my feelings and taking the extra step to confirm that I had nothing to worry about.

My contract says that I have 4 doors and 4 windows with sensors. 1 door (the one leading to the garage) was never activated by your technician. The reason I know is that I removed the sensor (it belongs to ADT) when I contacted your office. 1 other sensor does not work (the side door to the garage). When I requested that you send us a technician to correct the problem, I was told that they will charge me for scheduling him. Your equipment was faulty in the first place and it has never worked. I needed someone to install the sensors and test them. But I was told that I have to install them myself. If we don't have a 3 year contract, I would change Vendor in a heartbeat.

After installation, motion detector fell. It was installed with tape, backing 8 to 9 feet up on wall. Sensor quit working. Very cheap plastic. They lock you into 3 year contract, which I cancelled for $450.00. They want equipment sent back in original box. This cheap system has been in my house 5 months. I don't have original box. Consumers beware of poor equipment and long term contracts.

During your recent hiccup when the mobile app & online portal would not load, I tried several time to contact tech support for help. First I called outside of business hours, then I waited on hold only to get disconnected. I have been considering switching alarm companies anyway, so this incident was making my decision easier. Then I talked to Dave. He was friendly, helpful, spoke intelligently without speaking over my head, and offered a workaround instead of simply saying that I was out of luck. He reinstated a bit of my faith in LifeShield. Thank you Dave!

We haven't had an actual emergency, but everything seems to work well. My nanny accidentally pushed the panic button, which I didn't know automatically sends the fire and police out. This is a great feature. However, if it was a panic emergency, I doubt they would be here in time. It took at least 10-15 minutes until they got here. The police officer told me panic is for when someone has a gun to your head. Well 10 minutes seems too long in that case! Anyway, point is I'm not sure how long it takes for the alarm to get from our system to the responders. Otherwise, I think Lifeshield should provide more window sensors. To cover our whole house we have to purchase extra, and they aren't cheap!

Before I begin, the incident was a false alarm. I triggered the smoke alarm while cleaning the oven but what made it relevant was immediate response I received from LifeShield and the immediate appearance of the Fire Department. I made the mistake of giving an incorrect passcode and LifeShield operators took that as potential problem and had the Fire Department dispatched. How the scenario played out was a negative on me (note to self about the different passcode), but the positive was the coverage I received and knowing that the additional layer of assurance I have that protects my family and property... Bravo LifeShield!
