    I'm renting a house right now and the system that we already had was a part of Link Interactive. We went ahead to move forward with them. The customer service was wonderful and the setup was really easy. It was already in trial mode and we had to put it in regular mode, which wasn’t too hard. Also, all of our sensors and everything was peel-and-stick so it was a pretty easygoing process. I like the features. I was able to customize passwords for each person in the house and that was great. We also have a smart lock. We get Link, the alarm system, with the smart lock all in one app and I like that because we can use it instead of having two different apps. We feel very secure now. We use it all the time.

    Link worked out a plan where I could add cameras to my plan and the other companies I was looking at weren't really trying to help. They sent the equipment on time and the installation was fairly easy for me. But Link should have somebody to help people put those systems in. I don't consider them to be do-it-yourself. You really have to know what you're doing to install it or you'll get lost. Technical support could do a little bit better. Also, the cameras could be a little bit better and the IQ Panel they gave could be a little bit louder. They could put a bigger speaker because I can barely hear it. Besides that, the service is good and for what I need them for, they're good. It has a lot of features - little stuff that comes with the camera that's on the set and little pictures, which is pretty neat. I feel more secure with the system and I feel confident in using it.

    Link Interactive had good pricing and the sales agent was very thorough in explaining everything. Also, the self-installation was pretty easy though there were a few problems with some of the sensors. I had to call tech support and I was never able to really get them on the phone. I always had to leave them a message and they would call me back like a week later. I wasn't very too thrilled about that.

    Link Interactive was the easiest of all the security companies to put everything up and be safe. I went with them and I was so amazed. I didn't get any trouble whatsoever. They are very honest. I sent it back and I did get my money back. I couldn't afford an extra bill every month which is the only reason I sent it back. They were as sweet and nice when I bought it and when I returned it. Link and the people that work there are amazing people. They understand everything that you're saying. They don't try to put you on a guilt trip for returning it. It was a wonderful experience. I wish I could have kept it because I loved the idea that I had cameras to put anywhere I thought that people were coming into my property.

    My son has a few friends that has Link and he got good recommendations. He was the one who talked to me and made me think that that would be the best one to go with. The installation was super easy. My son and one of his friends that has Link did it in no time. While I was making breakfast for them, they connected it. So far, my experience with Link is fantastic. They are prompt. We called customer service because we made a mistake and they were quick to help. The only thing is I requested an additional object for one of the doors and my son hasn't been able to connect it yet.

    We were gone this past week to a horse show and I had some problems with the system working with our dog sitter. But I haven't been home long enough to go test it myself and figure out exactly what the problem was. As far as working with the call center and the people that sold me the system, it's been good. I was happy with the service. I had GetSafe before and they sold out to Link Interactive because they didn't wanna be doing it anymore. I had to buy a new system because of it. Link Interactive gave me a good discount because they were taking over those accounts.

    I had an Alarm.com system and I was switching away from another provider to Link Interactive so that I could continue to enjoy the app and everything else that already came with my system. The swap over was quite easy and although I can’t give them a 5, they were better than a 4 because I only had one issue. I had the basics on my app like arm and disarm. I could turn my home automation on and off, but I couldn’t see all of my videos. I called them back and they resolved the problem immediately. It was a simple error where they did not code in there that I was a premium customer that should have the videos activated as well. The young lady that helped me was very helpful. She was able to look at my account and she rectified it while we were on the call.

    I went with Link Interactive because I wanted to try something a little more different, get my price down, and try to do the whole automations. I utilize the mobile app, which is what I like the most about having this system. It is seamless. It is also a DIY system and I can do anything I want with it. If I want to add or take away devices, I can do that, unlike most proprietary security systems. During the initial setup of the wireless devices, I had to clarify a few things and they were very helpful.

    I looked on the internet for some security systems and Link Interactive came up in the top 10. I did some investigation and decided to go with them. I ordered all the parts and installed them myself and they gave me any help I needed. It was pretty good. The sensors all work. None of them have ever failed. I have a motion sensor, a doorbell camera, an indoor camera and an outdoor camera. I never really had problems with anything. Customer service is good, too. I just renewed with them recently and they were still charging me my old monthly rate. And I just sent them an email, they responded pretty quickly and deducted it out of my next month's fee.

    I have been with link for three years and their service has been decent. I installed it myself and it was easy. I, however, have a camera that is not working and I have not sent it back to them yet. Still, their people responded fast to things I needed, and they were polite -- there is only 16 people that work in the sales department and so they are all a close-knit group. Considering police came in before, having the system has made my home safe.

    I spoke to couple different security companies and at the price point, Link was offering the most features that I was looking for. Their sales team was very nice. They took a good time explaining everything and they were not pushy at all. I called back at least twice to get all the information that I wanted and check all the features that I wanted to integrate. They were very helpful and informative about the whole process. I installed the system myself, but I worked with Marsh over the phone. It took a couple of times because we had that switch to set up, but we got it done. I’m still trying to get more devices into the system because they offered that automation aspect of it. But so far, as far as the security goes, it’s great. It’s come in real handy. I like it. It is nice to have that peace of mind that it’s there.

    Link had a better monthly rate and they made very little increases over the years that they’ve been open. The representative I talked to on the phone was very informative and very helpful. I started off with texting him, and then we got on the phone to clear a few things up and make it easier to talk. He spent tons of time with me and made sure I had everything I needed, which was very good. I installed the system myself and it was easy enough. The other ones are pre-setup, so you just had to put the devices where you needed them. I don’t really care for the sensors that stick on the windows and doors, so I requested a recessed sensor. So, they also had that where some companies did not -- it was something I definitely wanted. Whenever I have called them, they were very helpful and friendly, too. They said to not hesitate to call back if I needed anything. So, all is good right now.

    One of my good friends has a system called a IQ Panel and I liked the features that it came with. I was doing some research to see which company sells it and Link Interactive was one of them. So I spoke to a representative who answered all of my questions and informed me on what the system comes with and what cool features the system has. That convinced me to go with it. The representative was very informative. He was very passionate about his work, his knowledge on what he sells, and that was enough to persuade me that this is the real deal.

    The installation was very simple. It was do-it-yourself installation. After I installed the system, I called to ask them questions about a small problem that I ran into and they were able to assist me. It was a good experience. Unfortunately I had to give back the system because I was still under contract with Vivint and I wasn’t able to transfer my account to a different user. I was told that in order for me to close it down, I would have to pay the balance on the equipment, which looked like $700 and then I still had two more years on the contract. So I decided to finish the term and then once I’m done I’ll decide to switch to a different company.

    I moved into a new home and so I decided to get a security system from Link Interactive. I’ve read a lot of reviews, and I liked that the activation was easy and that they were very affordable. I had Xfinity before and with them, I felt like I was just paying and paying because I was renting all the stuff. Then with Vivint, it was the same thing -- it was very expensive. Link is like any other systems, and all systems should be of this price.

    When I called a 800 number, the guy that helped me was very helpful, and he was with me throughout the entire time. The only thing is that after you place your stuff, you don’t really hear from anyone anymore. Nobody checked me. Plus, they did not tell you how you were billed every month. Right now, I’m thinking, “Okay, I guess the way that I pay over the phone is the same way they are billing me.” I don’t know because I’ve never gotten a bill on my email or in the mail, and it is only my third or second month. Nevertheless, the features are good. You get your doorbell camera, and then you get three sensors as well as the control panel. Then, you download the app. I like to be able to use the app to activate my system. So, in case I forget, it has a reminder feature. If I leave my house, it will tell me, “Hey, you left, and you didn’t turn your alarm on.”

    We got Link Interactive to replace the one that we already had. Vivint do long-term contacts and they are expensive, and I prefer Link because there are no contracts and you can cancel any time. You don't have an obligation and it is way cheaper, and I get the same services. Their customer service and sales team have been very good. We only did a partial installation so far of the doorways, and it was easy enough. Everything has been good. We have the automated package, where we have the doorbell and the AC controller.

    I had another company that was good for a long time, and then the guy retired in my area so we did not have service. And then I tried to get another company that offered free installation. I called them up, but they never came. We did some research and Link looked easy to install. I'm an appliance repairman, so I have a lot of experience, and I installed it well. The system works good. Their representatives are very good too, and their techs knew their stuff. The features offered in the package are very good. I had a little trouble at first with the smart features but as soon as I learned them, it was easy.

    I live in a very bad area and there is a lot of drug dealers, which attract thieves. I lock my gate and then I have the security cameras, and as soon as I posted the sign that the Link people sent me by the gate, they stay away. We prosecuted a few of them a few years ago and they already know that I'm not going to mess around. I won't allow them to come around and take stuff.

    I had to downgrade my service. I didn't realize that I could downgrade it to just what I needed, which was just the video recording for the doorbell. I thought I was locked into the bigger package with the full alarm system but it didn't really suit my needs. We have a lot of coming and going in my house so I didn’t want to be navigating the whole system and turning it on and off. So we didn't end up using that. The best purpose for me and my home is just the video navigation. I don’t love the contract stuff and then having to buy all the equipment and then not use it.

    I got my issue resolved finally but Link Interactive increased the price without even telling me and it was under a year or two into my contract. They said it’s in the fine print that they're allowed to increase the rate of my monthly service charge. But I had no idea. When I was signing up, no one said this could happen in a year or two in the middle of the contract. To me, it doesn’t make sense. I signed a three-year contract with the company. When we have a two-year contract with Comcast, the price doesn’t change. Even when it does, Comcast would say what the price would be for the second year. No one just buries it and says, “Hey, look, you’re stuck in the contract. You can’t go anywhere and the price is gonna increase.”

    Then when I tried to ask them about it, no one called me back and it was hard to get ahold of someone. It was actually when I went to cancel that they rectified the whole situation. Apparently, the person who was supposed to get someone to address it for me six months ago was let go. But above and beyond that, the customer service has been good for the most part. When I was getting the service set up, they were good about getting my questions answered quickly. Then I installed everything myself which was a bit of a chore but they were responsive. It’s also easier to stick with a provider than to leave, especially when it’s the same price pretty much everywhere.

He ran through some of the other Alarm.com companies as well, and when I spoke with those other companies, they confirmed what the rep had said to me when we spoke. I appreciated the honesty and transparency from him. The system I got from Link is better than the ADT system my parents have.

    I wanted to protect my belongings and my family. Link was a great system while I had it. They were really responsive and really helpful in picking out the equipment and the services that I needed. They didn’t really try to push me into anything, which surprised me. I was expecting kind of a high-pressure sales pitch and didn’t get any of that. They made everything really affordable. Initially, it seemed like it was gonna be too expensive to get all the equipment but somehow, they got the price down to 80 bucks. That was for everything including the nice panel. They were just wonderful.

    The installation was very simple. All the parts came with numbered boxes and you just install them in the order that they came. There was a Pion stick tape and they gave instructions. Once I got all that done, I plugged in the main control panel and it picked up all the sensors. I tested them then called in and they activated the account.

    I had every feature that I was looking for and more. The panel that they offered was easily the industry’s most feature-rich panel. They chose that for a reason because they wanted to be able to offer as much as they could to their customers. I could have a streaming video, I could have static sensors, and I could have outdoor cameras. I could have anything I wanted. They sold all that and they serviced it. But they also made it clear that I could buy it on my own and add it to the system if I could find it cheaper somewhere else. They weren’t even trying to lock me into a system where I had to buy stuff from them.

    Link had great people. They had great customer service and they were very responsive. Everything came quickly and with the assurance that my local laws had been checked and I wasn’t gonna be breaking any laws by installing this thing. They did all the footwork for me and made it really easy. But I ended up moving and getting rid of the system. I just didn’t need it in the new location. But although I didn’t have a great deal of opportunity to use the system, it worked great and had capabilities beyond what I was expecting. It had the ability to add hundreds of home automation tools that you could control from the device and not have to tie up a dedicated controller that you have to program yourself and connect to touchscreens. You have one system that controls your security and your home automation. It was really convenient.
