From the first call to order to Jennifer who completed the contract, the technician who set up the online access, and all the promotional offers, Lifeshield is nothing but professional, thorough and accommodating.

We came from ADT and were expecting to save money and get the same level of (average) service. To our surprise, the money factor was nice, however the professionalism and customer support from setup to service has been wonderful. I am so glad to have selected LifeShield and would highly recommend and have to tell my family to use them. They are a tremendous value and make me and my family feel important. Great Service, Great Price and I'm Happy to be a customer.

On November 19th 2014 my alarm went off at 11:15 PM, keypad would not accept my code. After several attempts the alarm finally turned off. I did not receive a call from central station. On November 20th, the control pad was blank and again the keypad would not accept the code, the alarm went off at 6:55 AM. The alarm rang for about 5 minutes before I was able to disarm it. Again no call from central station.
I called the central station and they told me that my account was labeled as Disregard that I should call during regular office hours at 8 am. I called at 8 AM and was informed that my alarm was never activated even though I had been paying since March 2014. I spoke to a supervisor who promised to get back to me later that day to discuss a resolution to my request that I be refunded for all the months that I have been paying and not receiving service which would be $239.92 for 8 months. I was offered a credit for 2 months which was unacceptable to me. I was also told that several emails had been sent requesting a permit number, which I believe to be untrue. I check my account online periodically and there were no alerts there. I also receive notification every time I arm and disarm the system telling me that the system has my correct email address.
I was also instructed to send an email to this email @ supportmanagement@lifeshield.com which I did and never received a response. On November 21st I called again since I did not get a call back from the supervisor the previous day as promised. I spoke at length to someone, who promised to activate my system since it had not been done the day before. She again promised to have a supervisor call me back which has not happened. I received an email on 11/21/14 stating that my system had been activated.
On 11/25/14, I called again asking that someone address my request for a refund for the service that I did not receive for 8 months. My family and I are quite upset because if those had been real alarms, we would have gotten no response from Lifeshield or the police leading to harm to myself or my family. The alarm has gone off on 12/9, 12/10 and 12/16 because of delayed signal and malfunctions and I never received a call form the central station. I have submitted this same information to Lifeshield with no response.

The time it took to verify a permit was ridiculous.

Everything thus far has been outstanding, from the sales rep to the technical support. I had some minor issues with getting the camera to work and questions about navigating through the online options, but the technical staff was very eager to help. The only semi-regret I have thus far is that my current system chimes when a sensor is opened and verbal announces which sensor. This is semi-annoying because I can always look at the touch-pad to see what sensor, but if there was a way to do that it would be great.

I've had a LifeShield system for more than five years. They were an excellent company, but my experience with them has been terrible over the past year. I always paid my bill automatically with my debit card. I was issued a new card last July, but I forgot to update the billing info with Lifeshield. So I missed one (1) month's payment and owed them $30. They didn't call me. They set off our alarm system at 8 AM and scared the hell out of us. I called them, and they said they would turn off the alarm when I paid the $30 I owe them. I had them disconnect my service because I don't trust them anymore. They made me pay a $119 disconnection fee, which was never in my contract. First they told me the fee was $149. Now I have to pay $1,000 to have a different security system installed. Lifeshield used to have a B+ rating from the BBB. Now they have an F rating from BBB, and they deserve it.

Unfortunately have had to call into tech support 2-3 times in the last week with equipment issues. Issues were eventually resolved but would like to suggest the techs please speak more clearly - had to ask several reps to please repeat what they said due to just not speaking more clearly/enunciating words. Also, they need to listen more closely to the problem. One tech I spoke to was trying to troubleshoot the wrong sensor and that only after I told him it was a motion sensor, not a camera, that was having an issue. A bit more attentive listening skills would have made my 20 min call a 10 min call. We both would like that! Overall, happy with LifeShield. Just some constructive criticism. Happy Thanksgiving.

I think that compared to my last security system company, Lifeshield is night and day! Your company provides great availability various options and technologies and an excellent overall package. The only critique I would have is that tech support seems to wing it sometimes... Example 1: When purchasing the system the rep could not explain the difference between the camera packages. Example 2: A rep told me that the outdoor camera had a built-in sensor and would react to motion. Example 3: I have called many times to resolve issues and many times I just trip over the answer during the whole troubleshooting process with the tech. I have rarely been easily led to the correct and concise answer...
Most recently I asked "how do I view the recorded video on my smart phone" and the rep told me to look for a blue label that says camera. That was not the case, I just had to scroll below the live image to see the previously recorded images. I am very technical so I do not mind a challenge but I would recommend a strong knowledge base with pictures so that the tech has a direct reference as they walk the customer through the solution. I see all this to end with a positive note you guys rock. I love the system! I like the technology incl. the cameras, remote fob, tablet option, app, alerts, cust. svc. hours, and many many other features of your service. Keep up the fair rates and great products!!!

My call concerned several issues, all of which were resolved. The tech Svs. Person understood the issues well and quickly answered my questions, being patient with me all the while. ADT is offering a system for free and it appears to be an updated product, but I was told I could get a new system from Lifeshield practically free, but the monthly fee would increase, so I will not be upgrading at this time, but I will still be recommending Lifeshield.

I have called customer service a couple of times. I must say that customer service has been excellent! In addition to the fact that I set off the alarm accidentally due to a delayed signal response, as I soon found out when I could not disarm the alarm. I was immediately contacted by dispatch - I was impressed - and then two customer service reps called. I like giving my business to an honest company and competent employees. Thank you LifeShield.

Great product and best Customer Service ever. Very friendly and patient. You get to talk to a real person with just a short recording and wait time. Plus you have an option to be called back without losing your place in queue. (I had the option and there were only 3 ahead if me). I've called twice in the last few days and all my questions were answered clearly. If they're not 100% sure they'll put you on hold & get the right info. The only issue I've had was that I couldn't find their Customer Service contact number on their website, I had to do a web search to get it (877-464-7437). I've had the security system for over a year & love it. You won't go wrong by choosing this company.

I initially had to call your support people several times when I first installed my alarm system to iron out several minor problems related to cameras and sensors not connecting properly to the base unit and console. More recently, I had problems with a total disconnect between the peripherals and the main unit. Each and every time, your telephone staff has been polite, professional, and especially, patient. They took the time to address all my concerns and to make sure everything was functioning perfectly before our conversations were terminated. I am also very impressed by the quick response (usually within 15-20 seconds) from the monitoring center if we accidentally trigger an alarm by forgetting to disarm the system before opening a door or if a smoke detector is activated. Thank you for the security and peace of mind.

Tech support has been invaluable to me, specifically Mike, who has spent at least 2 hours with me twice now. Due to the lack of professional installation that I was promised, I would have been lost without him. I should have just installed it myself. Would have been done just as well and without all the wasted time. The guy who installed my system seemed to know absolutely nothing about it and he explained absolutely nothing about it to me, which was the whole point of wanting professional installation.
Mike has explained everything to me, helped me with problems I was having with sensors showing opened doors and windows when they were in fact closed, and answered every question that I have had. He has been extremely patient and as far as I'm concerned, gone out of his way to make sure that I feel comfortable with the system. The one complaint I have is with the touchpad that was very poorly designed. The display will not turn off at all and the screen saver only comes on when the touchpad is plugged in, which is irrelevant then. I would certainly expect that when it is redesigned to work as it should that Lifeshield will send me a new one at no expense.

The sensors do not stick to the door and window frames well. They tend to fall off and can trigger alarms. A call to the company resulted in an offer to re-install.... for a $150 charge. The only alternative is to screw them to frames - not desirable in a 170 year old house. Also, read contract carefully. My wife thought she was signing up for a two year term and found it was five years. When we inquired about early termination because the system was low quality and not trustworthy, we were threatened with legal action to pursue payment for all remaining months. So the system is weak and the customer service is poor. The company should be avoided.
