    My mother has your system in her home in CO. She received an email about a problem with one of the sensors and had asked me about it. I contacted your company and they explained what had happened and that it was probably temperature related. The sensor was working within a few hours and your customer service said that she might need to replace the battery. Since my mother is paying for the insurance, I requested that she be sent some. We (my mother, my brother and I) have been very satisfied with your company and service and have recommended Life Shield to others.

    I have never work with a company that does not require you to do multiple calls to get whatever concern you might have taken care. I have called 3 times with either a question or a concern and they have immediately taken care of my matters. I have never had to repeat my calls. They truly do stand by their word. I'm very happy that I chose them and it's a plus because I am very happy with our security system. Thank you LifeShield.

    I am glad to hear you did your homework! We develop and manufacture our own technology and products. That is why we are so competitive in pricing. The other companies are all reselling GE and other system components that aren't necessarily designed to work together.

    Have fun getting to know your new LifeShield system! Don't hesitate to call again with any questions.

    I am happy with Lifeshield but I recently referred someone to your service and was given 150 in equipment. I just wish this 150 could be used to pay for my service. That is much more valuable and would show Lifeshield's appreciation much more than getting equipment I was not planning on using. Additionally, I only used 135 of the 150 but had to pay shipping. So not only did I not find enough stuff that I could get to cover the referral, none of it I really wanted anyway, but I ended up having to pay 10 dollars to use the referral. This is not motivating to refer anyone else at all.

    I was excited purchasing the home security system. The sales rep was with me 100% in the getting this purchase complete. Very satisfied with the buying process. However, I've been dissatisfied since.

    1) The sales rep informed me that I would be receiving extra window stickers and an extra yard sign with my shipment. I have not rec'd those items. I emailed the sales rep at least 3 times and called once and he never responded. Unprofessional to say the least. So, I never rec'd the extra window stickers or yard sign.

    2) The free tablet that was sent with the purchase is one of the worst electronic devices I've ever owned. The tablet is a Coby Kyros Mid8048. Look up the reviews of the tablet online and you'll see what I'm talking about. It's pre-installed with your security system but you can't use it! It lags too much and never stays connected to wifi. God forbid, I needed to hit the panic button on the tablet and it wouldn't respond. It really is terrible.

    3) I filled out a survey about a month ago and never heard back from LifeShield. You need to follow up with your customers. Word of mouth goes a long way.

    4) Customer Service is informative but some of the people sound miserable. Maybe I'm catching some of the customer service reps on bad days but some of the people sound annoyed at questions I ask them.

    I will say the last time I called with a fire alarm question, the service rep was both courteous and helpful and I'm thankful for that. LifeShield can earn my trust back. Start by being proactive and responding to this survey.

I tried to contact them, leaving messages because difficult to call during their hours. No attempt to return my call and in fact they again charged me again knowing the problem. So I made concerted effort to call a live person, and they apologized saying they would send a check. Month or 2 later no check. Call again... OK going out today. Another month... nothing.

It's a nice concept to have wireless cameras but they still do need to be plugged in somewhere. So unless you're going to hire an electrician to run wires, you're going to end up plugging in the cameras closer to your power outlets. The installer we got was fairly useless.

    Hi Bryan,

    I am sorry that you are unhappy with your LifeShield system, but would like to clarify your complaints about the cameras.

    Although our cameras are on a wireless signal connecting them to your security system, they still need a power source. Shop around at ADT like you mentioned, and others, and you'll find the same thing -- the power source is plugged in.

    Battery operated cameras use a lot of power to run and would require changing the battery often, so therefore are not nearly as reliable.

    We were told that we have a 30 day risk free trial to try LifeShield and see if we like it. We were told this on the phone as well as being advertised on their website. We installed LifeShield and used it for about a week, but decided it just wasn't for us. To be honest, the equipment and everything was great. In fact, we were going to recommend the company to friends. The only reason we decided not to continue was that a security system just wasn't for us and the financial responsibility was something we just couldn't do right now.

    We requested a cancellation and they said to box it up and send everything back and they would give us a full refund, minus a $50 restocking fee. That irritated me a little since this wasn't disclosed on the website or over the phone, and means that it isn't TRULY a risk free trial, but since it is written in the contract, I let it go. But then we got an email a week or two after we had sent everything back saying that we were being docked another $100 because it wasn't in resalable condition! WHAT? It was in perfect condition. Not a scratch on it. My husband even packaged it up perfectly just as it came. You better be darn sure you want to stick with this company because they are liars when they say it is a risk free trial. They will find a way to charge you, even if it means making something up.

    I've had the system for about 2 months. Took a while for my permit to get approved but when it finally went active, my front door sensor stopped working. So after calling now we’re waiting on some spacers and tape. It's been a week and my front door sensor is not active. Then yesterday, my burglary detection went off and well I didn't even get a call from the monitoring place to inform me I had to call. Rush home and see what was going on myself. I get to home to a false alarm, thank God! Called the support center. Just for not even 30 minutes later after having left my home again, I get an actual call telling me if I wanted to send the police because my alarm went off AGAIN. Of course I’M FREAKING OUT at this point rushing with a toddler to get home AGAIN to another false alarm! Finally after being on hold for over 20 minutes, they were able to see my sensor had been going off every 2-3 min so it was not working correctly, as well as the front door.

    Now I was told to arm my system as stay to avoid getting false alarms. I see this as an inconvenience since it won’t feel safe to leave my house arming it that way while the motion sensor, which I believe is the biggest asset to them having a system, is not working and neither is the front door! Now the whole reason why I even considered getting an alarm system was because we’re a navy family and my husband felt safer for us (me and his daughter) to have peace of mind while he's deployed and having all this faulty equipment and having to wait more than a week to get replacements via mail beats the purpose of getting an alarm system for protection with all the what if's I'm experiencing. I've contact the sales person who sold it to me to ask him if I was able to cancel since I'm so unhappy with it so far, but no response yet! VERY DISAPPOINTED.

    Updated review: Sept. 24, 2013

    Shortly after I wrote this review, I spoke with one of Lifeshield's managers and explained my situation and the fact that I was unaware of the 60 day policy. The manager was very professional and understanding and waived the automatic renewal.

    I informed him of the incident with the monitoring company, and he apologized for their action and assured me that protocol, is the same as every other security company regarding passphrase. Since I didn't disable with the duress code, the operator made a decision to believe me when I stated that I would go online and change my passphrase to one I would remember. Even though it is against company policy.

    Original Review: Sept. 23, 2013

    I called to cancel my service with Lifeshield, only to find out about the hurdles and hoops I must go through to cancel what originally was a one year contract. Because I didn't formally write a letter to them 60 days prior to my policy anniversary and follow up a 30 day call, I am now locked into another one year contract; however, I can get out by paying an early termination fee of the entire contract.

    Also I am not satisfied with the central monitoring station. My alarm has gone off without a call from them ensuring everything was alright. And the one time they did call, I couldn't remember my passphrase. They are REQUIRED to ask for it. "I couldn't remember it," I informed them; apparently no big deal. However, it is a BIG DEAL; it is a way of verifying duress, that I and my family may have intruders and by giving wrong passphrase would initiate police response. Think about that one for a minute.

    I ordered the system. My salesperson was very nice and helpful. Got the system delivered quickly. Because of the type of doors I have, I knew I needed a professional install. I was called quickly (by a number that doesn't leave messages and when you call back it disconnects you. Reverse look up has scam warnings) and had an appointment set up for one week later (today). The lady said they had first appointment at 8am, 8am-9am arrival. I accepted.

    This morning at 8:30am, I got a call and was told the installer was running "a little behind" and would be to my house at 3pm. "A little behind???" I said that was unacceptable. I was asked to hold. A man came on and said, "what?" That was it. I had to fill him in on the call and he said that's the soonest someone could be out. When I told him that was unacceptable he asked me to hold. When he came back, he said his supervisor said there was nothing they could do and I could call LifeShield. So I did.

    I called my salesperson. He had someone from the national install team call me. He was explaining that the installers were behind but someone would be to my house between 11am-1pm. While we were on the phone my other line rang. It was 8:46am. It was an installer who said he was on his way, but it would take him 60-90 minutes to get to me.

    At 11:30am (2 hours and 45 minutes later) I called the installer number that called me. He said he never called me and that I was still set up for 3pm. Never called me? I just guessed at your phone number right? So I called and left a message with my salesperson who then had the guy from the national install team call me back. He said he'd look into it.

    As I waited, I got more and more ticked off. These installers are liars and crooks. They are incredibly unprofessional and discourteous. They should not be dealing with the public. Why the HELL would I want any of them in my house at this point? So I started making phone calls. I was once again called by the national install team who told me all my money would be refunded. I spoke with someone from the retention department who kept trying to convince me to set up another install.

    Really? Because I took off time from work, lost over $200, was then called a liar and lied to multiple times. SURE, send them on over! Let me take more time off work! I don't think so. I asked for an RMA, was told I would receive one... *crickets chirping* It's been 40 minutes... I would like to get this box out of my house ASAP and be done with this company. If these are the "professionals" they work with they are not trustworthy enough to protect my home... ADT may be more expensive, but they do what they say they will...

    I called to get new tape for my motion detectors. So far, two of the three have fallen off the wall. One fell off when I did not have the away system on. The other fell off when I was away and the police came and registered a false alarm. There is a $100 charge for this. They did not charge me for the first offense. BUT, the installers you sent to install my equipment were not very good. I was displeased with their work, but as I did not know how to do it, I had to accept their work. As a result, they did not install the motion detectors so that they would stay on the wall, or your tape is not satisfactory. Ben is supposed to be sending me new tape, but so far I have not received it. I took out the insurance to protect me from faulty equipment, but I'm not sure it was worth it.

    There should be a better way to install those motion detectors so that one can be assured they will not fall off and cause a false alarm and prove no use to me if I were to be away. My key chain alarm does not always light up when I disarm, so I never know if I am walking in and setting the alarm off. I did not answer the 800 call to ask me if I was ok, as I was out with people and did not recognize the number and did not interrupt my meeting to answer. I would like to program a number into my phone saying it was "LifeShield" but I believe you call on different numbers and that would not do me any good - I may be wrong on that fact. I AM STILL WAITING FOR MY NEW TAPE.

    I installed by broadband connection to my home on July 24 and on that day notified LifeShield of my desire to change from cellular to broadband on my security system. I was assured on that day that they would ship the new component by the next day and I should have it shortly. I gave it a few days and on the 28th I called to get at least the tracking info to see the progress of the package. At that point, I was informed by the rep on the phone that it was actually already delivered. This puzzled me until she told me the delivery address. The address was my old billing address in NY. The monitoring address is in Florida. I didn't understand why they would make such a mistake but I can understand it was a mistake so I gave them a chance to correct it.

    I was assured the very next day they would overnight me the component to the correct address. I waited two days to contact LifeShield again and at that point nothing had been done. I got the runaround and was assured it would be shipped out. I gave it more time and I grew more frustrated. On August 2nd, spoke to the rep and explained again my situation and he (Ben) assured me that Monday morning it would be shipped out first thing in the morning, overnight. He explained to me that the warehouse was closed on the weekends.

    I called back on that Monday and the same rep could not give me tracking information which was the reason for my call. He kept assuring me that I would receive the package by tomorrow (Tuesday). Tuesday afternoon, I called to get a tracking number and the rep (Cedric) seemed completely oblivious to what was going on. I was assured again that it would be shipped out the next day. In my frustration I requested to speak to a supervisor. I was assured and given a tracking number by email and told I would receive it by Wednesday the 7th. Well I finally did receive it, but it was sent to the wrong address completely. It was sent to my father-in-law's address which is 10 miles away from the monitoring address. What's even worst is that they got my father-in-law's address incorrect and actually sent it to his neighbor. Thankfully, his neighbor gave the package to him.

    Throughout this whole ordeal I had repeatedly told the reps that it was to be shipped to the monitoring address. Extremely dissatisfied with the level of service from this company. Communication between departments seems non-existent and follow through also seems non-existent. I had to repeat myself over and over and explain the situation over and over. I was going to purchase more components but I do not wish to go through this again. I will not recommend this company to anyone until it gets its act together. Definitely a true shame being that I thought very highly of it in the beginning (I couldn't help and notice that the only reason I got access to this form was when I clicked on the "very satisfied" happy face in my email. Every time I clicked "very dissatisfied" I would get some type of troubleshooting site).

    The system issued a Low Bat Key chain warning. I replaced the battery the next day and the warning continued. I checked the battery and found that it was good so I sent an e-mail to LifeShield support. Your response requested a phone call so you could troubleshoot the key chain. After some discussion and a reboot of my system, your representative decided to send me some new batteries. Whether this will resolve the issue remains to be seen after I install the new battery but your representative was very professional and helpful. I truly appreciated the time that he spent on my problem.

    I received a notification after entering Lifeshield Security's Kindle Fire Instant Win Game (sponsor was Lifeshield) I was an instant winner of a Kindle Fire, I was asked to confirm my information so my prize could be sent, which I immediately did. However, to date I have never received this prize. I e-mailed Lifeshield@promosupport June 19th to inquiry when I might expect the prize would arrive, as the Official Rules did not specify. I was told between 6-8 weeks. On July 11th I e-mailed again and was advised my prize would arrive by the end of July, but it never came. I e-mailed Lifeshield@promosupport yet again yesterday that the prize never arrived and tried to obtain additional shipment information, i.e., who the shipper would be, the manner in which it will be shipped, if signature is required and, if so, will that be direct or indirect signature, and if they have a better idea of arrival date, as it is now the end of July and it still has not arrived and the end of July is when I was earlier told by promosupport it would have arrived by.

    The e-mail I received back today only apologized for any confusion and said they would pass my inquiry on (do not know to whom that would be). I called Lifeshield myself and they deny having ever ran a sweeps that involved winning a Kindle Fire. Attached is a screen shot I took at the time I entered the Instant Win Game reflecting Congratulations! I had won a Kindle Fire, which clearly shows Lifeshield Security's name on the Internet tab. Additionally, one can easily Google Lifeshield Security Kindle Fire Instant Win Game to verify Lifeshield Security was indeed the sponsor of an Instant Win Game that involved Kindle Fires as prizes, as well as the grand prize being a year's worth of free security. So how is it Lifeshield only weeks ago ran an Instant Win Game, but the marketing department at Lifeshield denies this? Can you please guide me as to where I should further inquire? I have to say this is quite disappointing after having waited for weeks for this prize to arrive, receiving assures from Promosupport it will arrive, and yet it has not. Please note: This Instant Win Game had nothing to do with purchasing a security system.

    My one thing I would suggest is making sure you have the broadband required before you purchase the system since it depends on the computer for everything. I made a mistake in thinking the cameras work like a surveillance monitor you see in the stores, whereas you have multiple cameras you can view at one time, it doesn't. That means I couldn't use my android phone either, but the attractive part of the deal is you get to keep the equipment when you move, and with the right broadband all the features will work, although one camera at a time.

    Hi Shawn Tel,

    Sorry you did not have a good experience. Here's what I can tell from your account:

    First there was shipping address change since you wanted it sent to your place of business. On the 27th, we got an email about cancelling your account. As a home security company, we do not cancel accounts via email since some may be fraudulent. Instead, the customer has to call in to verify who they are. So we sent an email requesting you call. Once you called, we cancelled the account immediately. LifeShield then tried to refund your credit card but it had expired.

    Instead, a check request was processed on 7/10 and sent on 7/12/2013 in the proper amount. You should have received the check a few days after the 12th. It was sent to your address provided.

    We are very straightforward with pricing with customers so I am not sure where the confusion began. Pricing depends on length of contract,services requested, and amount of equipment needed per home. Each home is different in size and customer need.

    Best of luck to you!

Steven, a Senior Tech with LifeShield, was in a word... outstanding! He patiently walked me through numerous set-ups across a number of different components. His experience and knowledge of the various steps needed to add the additional components to my new system is worthy of a Gold Star nomination! Thanks again Steven for the fantastic support!

    I have never had a home security system before. System works great. I do have one problem. The little glue sticker they give you to install the sensors don't work for long. Your sensors fall off. Also, I was told that when an alarm event happened, the monitoring company would call you and first ask for your password and make sure every thing is okay. I have accidentally sent the alarm off twice and they called and asked me if everything was okay. I said yes, but they did not ask for my password. I don't like this. It could have been anyone answering my phone and yes, I did disarm the system with my pin number which is why they say they did not ask for the password. But I did not think it was supposed to work this way.
