    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.

    Link Interactive is the only company that had the Qolsys 2 panel for a $200 thing with a three-year contract, and not paying $500 for it. However, they're one of the more expensive monitoring companies for alarm.com. There’s a lot of cheaper options.

    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. Everything has been good. It's a good feeling having the alarm system. -- we're in Texas and every house has one.

    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. But I understand there's a purpose to that. Other than that, the customer service has been pretty good. They're responsive over the email.

    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.

    Link Interactive offered an Alarm.com backend which was something that I was looking into as a good service to go with as far as alarm companies go. I had a good experience with the salesperson whom I talked to who really ran down all the options. 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. It has more features and I like that I can use the app which is easy to figure out. Also, I can always control various settings through the main panel. Their equipment is of good quality as well.

    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.

    I started with Link Interactive on the 17th but yesterday was the first day that I could actually arm the system. They were blaming Alarm.com that it was taking so long because it was Alarm.com’s issue. We didn’t even know how to deal with it. Since probably the 21st, it had been a daily activity trying to get with them and get things taken care of. They weren’t even talking so I gave them a credit card number. They haven’t charged it yet. So I give them that. They said they’ll charge me on the 1st. They got the system working last night then they charged it today. So probably that’s what they were saying. But it was a complete headache.

    It was to a point where I already got the contract and I knew I couldn’t get out of it. So I was like, “You know what, I’m just gonna pay you the money. I just pay you the monthly fee. Just leave me alone.” ADT sent me a thing that says you get a $100 gift card if you go through them. So I sent Link Interactive that and they went, “That’s not us.” They treated me like they didn't really care how pissed I was since I had already locked in their contract. The person I bought the home from either had to pay an exit fee or I could just pick up the contract. But he did me so good and he is the only reason I stuck with Link Interactive. Otherwise, I would have ripped up the contract and they can deal with it themselves.

    The previous homeowner was like, “If you wanna take it over, here’s the contract.” I got the contract and the transfer form through email and we did that at closing. I did the transfer paperwork but I got nothing from Link. I contacted Link Interactive for five days and then I gave them a break. It was Friday and they were closed. I thought they probably wouldn't be open until Monday. It said it would be assigned to somebody but it wasn’t or they never got back to me until we called them. It was the following Tuesday when I finally called them and I had a guy pretty much tell me to go online, go through the system and do it. The rep didn’t say it wasn’t his problem but it wasn’t his problem. It was assigned to somebody else who would be contacting with but they didn’t.

    I guess the previous owner was supposed to have done the other side of the transfer and he didn’t get to it or Link Interactive didn’t tell him to do it. It was like, “Well, we can’t do anything 'til he signs this.” We asked if Link was gonna contact the previous owner but we never really got answers. So I called the previous owner and he was like, “Oh, I’ll do it right now.” He ended up sending over the authorization. So I thought that was good. But Link Interactive went back and forth with me. I couldn't even get the system on the internet. They kept telling me to leave it on so I did but they had no way to communicate with it because it’s not a cellphone service. I think it goes through the internet. But I can’t hook it up through the internet because they won’t give me any passwords to do it.

    My wife talked to Connor yesterday at Link Interactive and he was absolutely amazing. She's happy with him. We were able to arm the system last night to go to bed and then when we left this morning, we armed it. It’s all up and running now but there’s still one thing missing. There’s a malfunction somewhere and they keep saying, “Well, it should be near an adjacent wall.” But that sensor is saying it’s in the master room, which is on the opposite side of the house.

    They sent us a picture but we have no clue where it’s at. They didn’t send the tech out. I don’t even know if they’re only internet people and they have no representatives that come out. I’d love to see somebody come out but I made it perfectly clear that I didn't have a clue what I was doing and nobody ever said, “You know what, we’ll just send somebody out there and make it a lot easier for you.” It’s like we’re trying to figure out how to use the system ourselves although Link Interactive sent my wife a little booklet so we have at least a digital copy of that. In fact, yesterday, when Connor asked what else he could do, my wife was like, “Can you tell me how to arm it? ‘Cause I don’t even know how to arm the system or shut it off.”

So that made it quick and easy for me to choose Link Interactive. Then setting up the equipment was relatively easy, although some of the instructions in the box could’ve been more user-friendly. There wasn’t really any step 1, step 2, step 3... The box just showed up with a bunch of equipment so I had to figure out what I needed to do first.

    My mom already had Link Interactive for the last five years so she referred me, and I was happy with the prices and with the products. It made it easy as to go with something that I already was familiar with. Their reps were also knowledgeable and friendly. But I was confused how I would activate it. I didn't really know the next step and I didn't know what number to call. When I got the individual he said, “Yeah. I guess I could help you set that up.” I said, “Okay.” I didn't know any other way."

    It could have been just a simple paper in the box that said, “Go ahead and install all the equipment. And once you’re done, first thing you do is go to this website,” or, “First thing you do is call us back and we’ll walk you through the process.” I just moved into a new house in a new area. I was really eager to put the alarm up and get it up and running, but for me, it was like I was the only one that was urgent to get it up and running. If I hadn't tried to push through it, it probably would've been like a week process. The information for me to get it up and going right away wasn’t at the same level as my urgency. But I’ve already referred Link to a handful of people. There was someone in my office who wished to have a little bit more security so I got that person on Link's website. And somebody else in the Nextdoor app responded to me and said, “Hey, can I get that info? ‘Cause I’m interested in getting what you have."

    I needed a security system because I got a new home. Like the previous company I had, Link is a good provider and it has a good service. They kinda called to make sure that I was set up appropriately. My representative was very nice and extremely flexible, which I really liked. I loved the customization of my system. That was a really good feature for me.

    But the installation was painful and it was not as easy as they say. You would expect the sensors and all those things to be put together. Mine wasn't. I don't know if I got an economy package or what but it was not as quick as they said. And I had a similar system before in the house that I bought. It was a matter of me getting it up and just taking that thing off and putting mine on. But with Link, I had to put the units together. That was the part for me that was like, "Huh."

    They put the things for you and the sensors and all that. But the thing is not as simple. But after that, you're good. It wouldn't have even been bad though if I knew that it wasn't as simple as they were saying, which most things aren't in life. People cream puff their wares. I would've been prepared when I opened the box and put it that way. It's like, "Oh, we're not doing this today or tomorrow."

    Also, I have a thermostat thing that I still haven't even figured out how to use. I opened the box when I came and wanted to put it up. But when I went to open the box and it was like, "Oh my god. Are you serious?" I literally pushed it off to another day. I gotta work and I'm not home like so many people are. I have to take the time to get with that. But I know it's gonna be great once everything is integrated together.

    In terms of my purchasing experience and my customer service experience on the front end, it was great. The same can be said about the fact that Link is on the cellular system. That makes me feel good because it's independent of power. Being away, it has a backup and it's not a wire that's gonna be cut. That's why I went cellular versus a hard one.

    But I'm getting work done and one of the windows replaced so my system's offline. When the sensors were being tweaked, they couldn't sense this and that. Someone went through and adjusted some stuff. I told my son, "They're gonna be doing the work in here. We're gonna be getting those windows out." When you install and reinstall, it's something they need to do. But no one has called me to ask if I was online. I am online now. But that piece was needing to be worked on.

It was Link Alarm and Link, and then we tried to call the ClicK-Fit people, but the phone just rang for forever.

    I went with Link since they were a little cheaper. But I didn't realize that I had to do all of the setup. The support wasn't really there when things weren't working right. I still haven't installed my camera. So I'm paying for things that I'm not using yet because we've not had the support that we need to get those things installed. The installation of the camera and the doorknob were not as easy as they appear or as I was told. If I understood that better, I would've just paid more and gone with a more expensive company.

    The customer service was nice and they did a good job with trying to help me. But I didn't like the fact that when I called on the weekend to get help with the doorknob, they were only working during the business hours to support putting it in. Most people are available on the weekends to install things. So I didn't have the confidence to be able to install it. I had my dad help me install it. We installed it right but I think we have a jammed lock, so the functionality of the equipment wasn't really there.

    We’re big fans of Link Interactive. The doorbell video thing is probably our favorite part and we love how we can access the relay alarm at home and then it’s smooth sailing once we’re here. The set up seemed pretty straightforward. There could've been a little better instructions, but we got the hang of it after a few trial and errors. The sensors for the doors need to be just right on top of each other. We were doing it more towards the top of the frame and it would recognize the door open but not the door shutting. So we had to take off and then readjust that to get a little closer to each other. Other than that, everything was fine. Their representative didn’t push too hard like some of these other sales reps would do, but he was very helpful. Once we got transitioned over to the next analyst, everyone was such a big help. We had a smooth and nice experience with Link.

    I went on alarms.com, and Link Interactive was one of the first that reached out to me and everything sounded well. I had a previous security provider and I did not have any issues with sensors. Link Interactive, on the other hand, was misreading. So, if I would open the door and then close it, it would go off when I open the door but it would not correct that the door was closed. So, it would appear as if it was still open. That was one of my biggest issues that made me not decide to keep the security system with Link. I liked the app that was provided to me to use with and the home screen itself with the system that I would have inside my home. Everything was fine, but being that it was a do-it-yourself self-install, having those troubleshoot issue, there were no resolutions. I tell them the issue and they might have something that could help with it, but it was hit or miss.

    Everyone was helpful whenever I reached out or had any question. I reached out to the company and I got some additional material shipped to me. But, even with that, it still made no difference. The sensors were misleading, and they were saying one thing, whereas it was the complete opposite. So it became an issue for me where I was going to be worried that what if it was just a misreading when I go to turn the alarm on and I'm thinking one thing whereas it may go off and simply because it could have fell off or it was a misreading and not actually a problem.

    I had a similar system in my previous house and that company referred me to Link Interactive. The sales and customer service representatives were super nice. I told them my budget and they gave every kind of option, whether it be cash or if I wanted to pay a little extra a month to pay on it. Every time I've called, everybody’s been helpful. The installation was pretty easy as well. It came pre-setup, so they already had all of them named with the way I wanted them to be named, considering what area they were going in and all I had to do was take a little sticky paper, put it on, peel it off, and stick it on the window or the door.

    At first, the system was great. But because we have four garage doors, they kept saying that it would lose connection. They sent me out this expander for free that was supposed to help with the connection on it. But I'm still having the same issues, randomly, like my system would start beeping 5:00 in the morning so it's getting a little frustrating. But every place is different and I'm trying everything I can to get it resolved. They sent me out foams to put in between the doors and the sensors and I've done all that. I'm gonna see how it goes over the next week or so.

    They offered the doorbell feature and I haven't been able to use it yet but I'm excited to get that hooked up. My other panel had a camera so if somebody would disarm the alarm, it would immediately take a picture of the person and this one doesn't have that. I'm a little sad about but I can live without it. I like being able to access Link on my phone and that's definitely the biggest plus there is there. Overall, they're pretty good. They've called immediately if my alarm goes off.

    I selected Link over ADT whose hardware features are really bad. Even their latest design isn't good. I did a DIY installation of our whole Link system and it wasn't bad. But it was a little fragmented in the fact that it comes from different people. There is a Link Interactive layer on top of the Alarm.com layer. Link Interactive is primarily the security call center that sells hardware while Alrm.com is the platform that runs things. But once I realized that, it was pretty straightforward.

    I know that they let people install the systems themselves but they also have integrators that use their same system. I already had a security system in my house so I knew how I wanted it to work and I just reconfigured it. I was looking for cameras with POE on them and they gave me a list of cameras because it has to be a certain camera type based on the encryption. It was a little painful at initially getting it going but that was more of the hardware. It wasn't their hardware though but it was just hardware that they resell.

    I had my package fully customized. I upgraded to the Qolsys panel, motion sensors, and two cameras. I've used the Alarm.com snap lines, like a tripwire, for detecting intruders. There are some pretty neat features that you can take advantage of. But a big weakness is their seams. Seams are more for automation and partitions are more for safety. They really haven't blended the two systems together well. But I'm sure they're working on it because there are features on the smartphone that are not available on the panel. It's just an integration problem and they haven't gotten there yet.

    There are some initial things with Alarm.com and some functionality features that I would have liked to have. Initially, out of the box, there were some hardware problems with a door sensor and a motion sensor that they quickly replaced. After that, there were issues with the software from Alarm.com. I'd like some improvements of Alarm.com on the features that are on the smartphone but are not on the panel. My request there is for seams as opposed to partitions. It just makes life a whole lot easier for users. Link has been very helpful and that concern has been forwarded to Alarm.com.

    We had an issue where my wife didn't arm the system correctly because of the issues with the Alarm.com software. The alarm went off and the response was very quick. We got called. We've tested the system and it works great now that I got two hardware things resolved. I just would like the feature part fixed.

    When I first spoke with their sales department, the guy asked me what made me choose Link and what was I looking for. The main thing is that he wasn’t trying to use pressured sales to make me want to choose Link. He gave me my options, he broke down pricing, and he answered all my questions. He even gave me the option to call back later if I wanted to if I wasn’t sure. The installation went very smooth. I did a system takeover. I was already previously using at home a lot of my equipment and it took a little long install, but that was something I was already expecting because there was so much equipment I had before. But besides that, it was very easy and when I called in to activate, they were quick to do it. The last time I called their customer service, they went above and beyond to help with my issue.

I said I was going to give my system another day to stop beeping and if it didn't stop beeping, I was going to cancel. It stopped beeping on its own, but we had to go through four days of hearing a really loud beep in the house. But, other than that, it has been fine.

    Overall, I feel safer with it in the house. I forgot my verbal pass code and then my system went off twice before. In both times, I said that I forgot the code and their response always is like, "Okay, nothing is going to happen," but they still sent the police. I was happy to know that if I was ever in a situation where I needed the police and if I said that or I gave the wrong code, they will send the police.

    We decided to use Link Interactive for customer reviews and because of the competitive price. We've had the system for about six months now and it's excellent. We mainly just use the primary alarm systems for the doors and windows. Those ones work great. We had an initial setup issue, but it was solved pretty quickly. We did the installation ourselves and it was very simple. The only concern we had was it did not have a manual that described the system very well. It described how to set everything up, but it didn't tell how the features function. That was why we had to end up calling them. We had issues getting our password and everything set up ‘cause we didn't know how to do that initially. The representative we talked to was very kind and easy to work with.

    Link Interactive offered me the terms and needs that I required at the time, more so than some of the two very popular companies. UDT required a contract, and if you moved your house, you had to pay half of whatever was left on the contract. But Link Interactive offered good customer service and they understood my situation and we got together okay.

    I find all the companies who expect you to do the installation via telephone contact a little bit disturbing because it is unfairly DIY-oriented and computer-oriented yet the system isn't something that you can just plug in and push a button and it's up and running. It takes a little bit more than that. Link Interactive is based in Utah and they didn't wanna come down to Florida to take my hand and show me how to install it. So they did it over the phone and I suppose that's conducive to most of their clients. Link Interactive should give better, both verbal and written, instructions. All computer programmers do it because they're thinking of it all the time. Questions that might arise to the average person don't come across in Link's mind, so they don't make provisions for it. And it's only when people report back that they find where the loopholes are.

    The security system is excellent. I like the fact that you can use your key remotes which are excellent. Say my wife, who maybe has a eyesight problem, and you're going to put a code in on a dark night on the door, it could be a little bit difficult. Where if they use a button on a keypad, that does it for them. So it's just a one touch item.

We’re satisfied with the quality of the equipment and it served its purposes overall. However, with the system we got now at our other house, we get instant interaction and we know we’re gonna get a call as soon as there’s any kind of breach of any of the sensors. But Link isn’t that responsive. Sometimes, it’s been after we’ve had the breach that we got notified. Other than that, we’ve had a few issues but I was able to resolve it with a phone call.

    It was good with Link's people. The only problem I had was at first was thinking it might be a little hard. But with their people on board, it was not bad. But I've gotta figure out these cameras. One of these four cameras I've got that I added to the system after I bought it for $1,500 upfront. I own the equipment and they other company that we had was not opening my cameras up, saying it was pretty much their product. But I bought one off of eBay brand new and they linked it to the system and then they locked it out too.

    I’m gonna go with either Ring or somebody totally different so nobody can lock my cameras out because I need my cameras now. I always need my cameras. It's not fair when I'm having to pay for a tower. I'm already paying over $100 for my Wi-Fi, so why pay a tower if I'm gonna be locked out. I pay my $30 dollars a month. I don't mind paying that but when I gotta pay for cameras because they go out and then I have paid for warranty to Verizon, I pay warranty service to all my smart home products, and then they did me dirty, so I canceled them. But I've had a great experience with Link. They were able to communicate properly and they weren't mean. I understand the cameras do take longer to do but you can't turn a camera on if somebody had it locked out so I'm not wanting to buy a $200 camera and it'd be locked out again. I want something to last a lifetime.

However, everything else- price-wise and customer service- has been great. Now that I’ve had Link Interactive for a little while, I’ll probably be looking for a cheaper, self-monitoring system in the future. But in the meantime, the cost is reasonable.

    Link Interactive is only adding a very normal capability right now. I’m still not able to pair it with my Z-Wave locks, which I have already installed in the house. I tried contacting Link Interactive a couple of times, but I’m not getting a concrete answer whether these are incompatible with their system. Because with the other service provider, they have that one and it’s working great. So, we're not able to move out from the other service provider, because the systems are not able to communicate with the Link Interactive module.

    I have a self-monitoring system. I have the Nexia, which automates all my doors and locks, which works on a different technology. I have several locks and they are all automated. The system has the light controls too, the motion detectors, fire detection and water leakage detector. There is also something called a Z-Wave technology. It is like a common technology platform connected to all these devices. In fact, my Alexa is also connected through that. So, if I ask Alexa to do something, I can just talk to the Alexa.

    My self-monitoring system do more than Link Interactive. I have several different people, like the cleaner. He comes in the house and I have created his account so he can open certain locks and he can actually get inside the house and do the cleaning, which is next to impossible in the Link Interactive, because it’s all connected in the home automation system. So, that’s one of the issues, because I’m not able to move forward from my old to the new platform because it really doesn’t cope up. It doesn’t connect.

    Also, there is something called a multi-user interaction. So, in the Nexia, I can create up to 10 people with different code numbers. So, 10 people can be allowed into the home and they can use their own codes, and I can customize their access. So, I don’t give the access to the cleaner to get into the garage because the garage does not require the cleaning, so he cannot actually go into the garage. But he can go to the other rooms for the cleaning stuff. There is also something like the guest mode, so that means I can remotely open my doors. If any guest comes into my home and I don’t want to give them any code number or anything, I can just open the locks remotely through anywhere.

    When I got the Link Interactive, they told me that it is going to be compatible with those. But I’m not even able to pair any of them as of now. Link Interactive security system is like an old school. It just have a magnetic something. So, I have not moved on to the Link Interactive as of now. I told them, “This is all what I want you to move from the old one to the new one because then I can save some money.” Otherwise, there is no point of having two different things. So, my old system takes care of the door locks. But if I put my security system on the alarm, on the active mode, even though if the authorized user enter the home, it will actually switch on the alarm because it doesn’t understand.

    These are third-party modules, but till this time, it has not been paired. I cannot even go into the other option to see what capability Link Interactive is providing me till the time that it’s not even paired any one of the locks. So, that’s where the problem is. It’s not able to even pair with the Link Interactive system. I wanna see who is the other service provider who can actually accommodate all of my current system and take it over rather than I have to really move it.

    The system didn't work the first time. I was at work then, probably like midnight. I worked with them, and they were telling me that something is wrong with my system. Ultimately, they found that something is wrong with their configuration and they had to sort it out. So, my first impression was like, “Okay. So, you sent me something which was not configured properly,” even though I gave them all the information, what they requested me to take over the entire system, what I have currently. But they misconfigured the system, so it didn't work at all. It was showing different messages, which is not even there. For an example, “The battery is poor,” and there was no battery involved in the entire system. But I can say that the support was good. They were with me for several hours, but they found out that the issue is from their side, not from my side.

    Furthermore, they do not have the professional installment, just do it yourself. So, even though I can say it’s not complicated, but because they were telling me that something is wrong with my system, I had to really spend a lot of time. It took time for them to understand, “Oh, this is not my system. This is their system,” but in order to get into that point, I had to do so many things, so many changes. I literally spent lost time, what I was not supposed to spend. If they had sent out professionals to install that system, then they would have the entire control of the configuration, they’d know exactly what I’m trying to tell them. It’d be a different experience altogether when someone professionally comes out to your door and completes the stuff versus you’re trying to figure it out, whether you did it right or I did wrong.

    And there was a time when they were saying “No, I think there is something wrong with your old system and we really cannot work with your old system.” So, even though they told me that it’s a DIY and that it’s very simple, and that they'll tell me step-by-step how to do things, but because their configuration was set up wrong, their system cannot understand whether it is right because their configuration was wrong in their side. And then they reprogrammed it. Once they reprogrammed it, everything started working.

But they should include an external alarm that you can put outside the house, because the main keypad is the only one that makes noise whenever it goes off. And sometimes, it would be hard to hear, like when we are sleeping in our master bedroom. Our room happens to be far away from the keypad.

    Flexibility was the biggest thing that made me go with Link Interactive. I had an existing system and they just sent me a unit and billed me for the service. They were willing to work with me on that and they did not make me buy a brand new security system when I didn’t need it. I installed the main box that talks to the security system, but everything else such as the window sensors, the door sensors, all of that was already there so I didn’t have to install them. They sent me a packet, but I didn’t read it. I’m a techie guy so I just went on YouTube and watched some videos, and its installation was straightforward.

    Their customer service rep was good. We had on and off communication for a couple of weeks as I was in the middle of a move. I just got distracted and forgot about it. But he was enough to keep me focused, and I didn’t feel like he was pressuring me. Their system is basically the same as everyone offers so the quality is fine. It’s what I expect. I just wish they would offer a non-contract price. I would be perfectly fine paying a bit extra every month for the convenience of not having a contract. I’d like the option for that because life changes and sometimes, you have more money, then other times, you don't. I prefer not to be locked in a three-year contract.

    I have neighbors that are involved in drugs and so I needed a security system. I liked Link when I did the research because it was something that I could do partly by myself. My mother had ADT, it's a good system, but it required them to come out and do a lot of work at the house. I maintain my mother's system because she wasn't able. Another reason why I chose Link was that it wasn't cost prohibited. Comparable equipment and the customer service was really good with Link too when I set it up. The installation was easy and we just did it ourselves. We didn't have to involve having somebody come out and set up a time and spend all day there like it did with ADT. I feel safer with the Link system and it's nice to have. I'd recommend it.

    I’m having a problem with my front door sensor. I talked to six people already, and they were saying something about the sensor don’t work on an aluminum door. But before I came with Link I had another alarm company, and it worked on that door. I switched to Link Interactive because they’re a lot cheaper. But I’m not happy with them at all. Somebody needs to swap stuff out to make sure they’ll try to work.

    She said I have 30 days to send the sensor back. She said I gotta put some more foam on it. I said, “Ma’am, if that thing sticks out like a sore thumb in my house, I’m not gonna use it.” The old company I had worked just fine. They would re-wire it, so it could work. I don’t believe some of their reps know what they’re talking about. To me, they have more excuses than just being honest with me about it. I said, “The last company I worked with, they came out to my house, they installed it themselves.” And she was like, “Let me take a picture of that,” then, “You see, you put it in the wrong spot.” I said, “Ma’am, I didn’t install it. The last company installed it.” The only that thing changed was the new plate. Everything else, I kept. I kept the door and the hallway sensors. So I don’t understand about the placement.

They were pretty professional and got me through the process of finding what kind of service I needed. I did the installation myself, which was time consuming as I had to get each of my sensors to tie into the panel, but it was not hard.

    Sometime thereafter, I had an altercation with my boyfriend and he ended up breaking my system. The back of it as well as some other pieces came apart. The part that allows the system to know whether or not the door or window had been opened was acting up. I called Link and spoke to someone to see what to do in order to get a new system. The rep informed me about what would be the best solution, told me what I had to pay and asked if I had a warranty. Overall, Link's system is a good product and it's best to have it.

    A Link Interactive security system came with the house we bought, and it's a little bit tougher to deal with compared to the system we had in our other house. The interface is a lot harder when adding and removing sensors and modifying things. You have to call Link Interactive and they have to do all the stuff. With my previous one, I could set it up myself easily with minimal support. It’s a little annoying that I have to call Link's tech support to get the problems fixed. Nevertheless, our interaction with their reps has been good. My wife had to call them since the module that came with the system was too old. They had to send out a new one that had something to do with the cellular service, and so we had to reset up all of our sensors.

    The system has good features and it's important that they have the smart features because I expect to add a bunch in the near future. Its features are comparable to the other security system that I had, though the control center thing could use some help. It’s a little bit outdated, but the rest of the sensors seems to be fine. The system works. The cost benefit analysis, however, isn’t very good. The cost is a little bit high for the quality. It is significantly higher than what I was paying for my previous security system.

    My daughter and her son recently moved into her own apartment. We thought that a security system that looked at the doors would be a benefit and give her some more peace of mind. I researched four different companies and Link Interactive's rep was the first one to respond. She was able to answer questions and satisfy me that she knew what she was talking about. She also was able to support what I needed.

    I did the installation myself based on all of the instructions. It went fine, once I finally figured out how I was gonna get everything installed. I turned on the system and it connected. I downloaded my phone apps and it logged in. I set up stuff and it seemed to go okay. However, it took me two extra days to get my camera connected because I didn't have the device ID information available right at hand. But I got it figured out. I own a technology company and felt comfortable enough to do the installation. I know what an IP address is, how to log on and how to make those kinds of things work. I don't know that the installation would be that easy for a normal person who doesn't have the same experience that I do.

    The system seems to work and I'm okay with its quality. Anything that connects through the internet and actually works is always good to me. But I got an indoor camera and I said that I should be able to place it outside. I probably should've gotten an actual outdoor camera that I could aim instead of what I did, but it allows me to take a look to see what's going on outside of the house. But that's of less value to me than knowing that when she secures her unit, then it's secure for the night or day when she's gone. I would recommend Link Interactive to someone who has knowledge of and comfortable with connecting network devices. If not, I would suggest having a Link certified installer do the installation.

I got tired of arguing with them calling in and saying the same thing.

    Customer service was of no help. A couple of them wanted to troubleshoot, but they basically were saying that I would have to pay them for the rest of the contract. I told them to give me a service that works and I would pay them. They know the service doesn't work and I've told them that a million times. The system is installed correctly though because I have one already and that one was working at first then it quit working. I'm just over Link. I have Vivint too but I was using Link Interactive because that monitors the cameras inside of my home. They sent me a free camera, which I offered to send back because it's not working.

Fortunately, nothing was stolen or taken but one can imagine the shock on our eyes. The sad part is that I had some home automation stuff that if I had looked in the app, I would have seen that the garage door was open and I could’ve closed it. Because a friend of mine had Alarm.com as a service and I had helped him set it up, I knew they had notifications. At that point, I was like, “I’m calling right now,” because I needed a notification to remind me.

    I had a breach in my car and it happened one too many times, so I decided to purchase a security system. Link's price of their cameras was reasonable. Their reps were quite good, too. The installation, though, was horrible. I was able to have two out of the three cameras working, and they have been great. But, I still have one camera that is not working properly.

    I customized the package, and the smart features are all great. But, even with the instructions, and even sometimes with the assistance of a technician from Link, I ran into trouble so many times, to the point where two cameras had to be exchanged because I was being told, after spending all day trying to set them up, that they weren’t activated properly. So, I had to return them back, and Link sent me some new ones. That was a hassle. Also, at some point, I had to wait for someone to call me back because of some technical issues, not from my end, but from Link. Like Saturday or Friday, I started working on the outdoor camera. But for some reason, it wasn’t being connected. When I called, they told me, “Just wait, give it some time. It should be working.” So, I had to wait for Sunday and try to see if it was working, and it was finally working.

    It is not a bad system and it is not a bad service, but it would be better if Link had their own technicians going out to take care of the installation without having to rely on me. It took me a good two to three days just to figure them out. If there was a technician from the company outright, that would be something that they would probably be able to settle within one hour. The process is quite complex and it is not fluid enough, and I'm not technical and handy in any ways.

They are much better than the private thing I had before. I had a few problems, but I just had to call in and they took great care of me. My experience has been excellent.

    I’m living out in the country, and I've had some prowlers around here. I don’t want them to come in the house. I got Link Interactive and their team is real nice. They called me first and when I decided to take it, they helped to get the paperwork up. When I got the whole kit, they said to call a certain number. I did, and they helped me set it up. They’ve were good about guiding me. I didn’t get a whole lot to do and it was very simple to start it up.

    I also ordered a camera which didn't come with the alarm system. It’s wireless and the Wi-Fi is supposed to pick up everything. But I haven't really figured out how to put it up and I haven't gotten anyone to put that up yet. I don’t know a lot about it. I need to have some more sensor things - the little things you put on the wall if you open the door. I didn’t have enough. There’s one on my sliding glass door, and it keeps on beeping. I took it off there because it wouldn’t work. There’s a little piece of metal that comes between the two pieces and that’s holding it off. I put it on another door and I never got another one.

    I'd recommend Link Interactive but I should have customized my package because I wasn’t here and my daughter used my key to get in the house. She said that thing beeped as long as she was in here. The system works good other than that one. It tells me every time I’m going out the door and when I'm coming in. When I open up any of the windows, it tells me exactly what number is opening up so I know exactly where it is. At night, if the door would open, it’d tell me there’s somebody coming in.

    I just bought a house and the previous owner had Link here. An offer was made to keep the system and I picked up where the previous owner left off. I liked the idea of it because the system is accessible through the cellphone which is great. The price is amazing too. When I was in New York, the cost was almost double of what it is that I have to pay now.

    I had Vivint prior to what I have now and ADT before that. I liked Vivint as it was good but I hated ADT. The only difference with my Link system now is the fact that I have my garage doors linked to the system, whereas I couldn't do that with my other system. I can open and control my doors. For me to do it with the other system, I would have had to get an electrician to rewire something which was weird.

    The previous owner had everything linked and tied into the system. The best benefits I'm getting from it is the fact that I can control the garage door lights from my cellphone. But he didn't have the cameras set up to the system. I know it could be done but he had them done separately. He might have done it himself. He had the lamps set up too but when I plugged in one of the plugs and attached something, it didn't work. I'm assuming it may have to be programmed.

    Other than that, I like the quality of the equipment. I like the idea too that I could lock and unlock the doors and turn off things from my cellphone. I love Link. When I called them and asked something, they handled it. I called and spoke with them in order to have my system programmed and to have them teach me how to use the system. That was fairly easy to do. The people over the phone kinda walked me through it. Everything went well. But I will have to call again and set up some things. If I do that, I'm gonna be in technology heaven.

    The power on the camera we used before was gone and we wanted one more alarm. I called Link and the guy said they'd send the camera, but what they sent was not exactly what I have. It doesn't come with wi-fi, so it can't connect with my DVR. We returned it and got a camera from some place else. Right now, everything is okay and we've had Link for four years. When we come out, we set up the alarm, and they control everything, but sometimes the system has trouble.

We had an issue trying to change the name of the sensor, and we just got in chat and they were there 24/7, so they replied really fast. We also had a little issue with the two months free that was supposed to be given to us. The month that was supposed to be free of charge was automatically charged on my card. Then I emailed or chatted with somebody, and they said that they fixed it.

    Now, the thing is, we haven't set up the the outdoor camera because we can't figure that part out. The instructions were short. We may need to reach out to them about it or get somebody to come install it for us. Other than that, the system has been working great.

    There was a system from Lowe's, which was called Iris, and I've had that for years. And they decided to stop their business, so I compared several companies and chose Link Interactive for the IQ2 panel. It is a touch panel that I liked. But the previous system that I had was far superior. Other than that, Link's sales and customer service representatives were very good. They helped and did very well.

    A lot of Link's sensors and cameras are based on alarm.com. And the cameras are horrible because you have to buy. I bought seven cameras because if your home wouldn't pair, they just don't pair. And then, I got two panels from Link. I looked at their homepage, what kind of accessories the panel supports, what sensors, what cameras, what model, and I ordered stuff on eBay for that system. And when the system came, it wouldn't pair. They told me they had sent me a panel with an older or different system linked to it. It was not according to their homepage. They took the panel back, and sent me a new one. So, the initial set-up was a little bit bumpy. But when it comes to setting up sensors, pairing sensors, that works quickly.

    In the older system I had before, they had the key fob. The system would detect when you arrive at the house. By itself, it would turn it off and on. The current one here has manual ones, which is to press the button. The old system had the functionality to turn the system on and off at a certain time you programmed it. But for Link, I have to pay extra for that, which I refused to do.

    And one thing that's misleading is the geofencing. I understood that you have cellphones linked to your account and when the system sees when the cellphone is not in the house, it will then do something. It can turn the light off and it can turn the temperature oven down, but it cannot arm the alarm system. That is something so simple to add there. For me, it's not a big thing, but my wife forgets a lot to arm or disarm. We were used in the past that when the vehicle arrives with the key fobs in it, the system would disarm automatically. We didn't have to worry, "Oh, we forgot it." Here at Link, it's not possible. They send you a text message saying, "Oh, by the way, you forgot to arm your system." That's what the geofencing does. But that's not state-of-the-art.

    Also, Link's system is too expensive. The Iris Lowe's system had a monthly charge of $15. I had 18 cameras on the system. The geofencing was not available, but they had the key fobs which were detected by the system. There is a lot of functionality to program in with different rules and scenes to say, "Well, if the key fob arrives, not by 4:00 then please send a text message to the parent." Let's say if your daughter doesn't show up at 4:00 after school, you get a notification. Link is below that level. They don't have that, and I'm paying $35. So, I'm paying more than double for less functionality.

    Each four cameras is another $5. So, if I add 20 cameras to it, I'm having a 56-dollar system. That is outrageous. So, I only have four cameras with Link and 15 other ones with different companies. I had to split up because I didn't wanna pay extra. Plus, the exterior cameras do not have interactions. In the Iris system, if the camera detects movement, it turns on the light. The Link does not. Link can do an alarm or not, but they do not turn the light on with the camera sensor. So, you have to buy another extra motion sensor next to it that would do that. Moreover, Link has no support on Sundays, which is unacceptable too. I'm paying more than double than what I had before, so I expect a better service. But that's not the case. Still, I'm satisfied with Link.

    The Link Interactive system was preinstalled in the house we just purchased. I took over the account of the previous owners and the idea was that there would be less cost, but that wasn’t the truth. It's still the same cost whether I was a new account or not and that was a little discouraging. Also, I'm already paying for a monthly coverage and I would have to pay for upgrading the preinstalled devices and those parts myself, which doesn’t really make sense.

    Another thing is that I can't have the system working how I need it to from the internet and the application. The security system is not able to be automated on turning on and off. My sister-in-law lives with us and she leaves at different hours than we do. So, if she was to leave earlier than I was to get up to disarm the system, the alarm would go off and it would wake my 15-month old daughter up. At this point, I haven't been able to arm the system at night because she leaves a half hour before I wake up. The system is a great idea if that wasn’t happening but for right now, it's kind of $36 a month for nothing.

    Link Interactive is more intuitive to the customer, especially on the smart home side, than the previous system I had. It has a lot of different items to get from Alarm.com. All of their reps were friendly and courteous. They tried to resolve any issues and gave me some good discounts. The installation was easy as far as the home hub but I had problems connecting with the sensors. Also, the garage opener was incorrect so they had to send me another one which also didn't work. By the time they sent me the third one, it was a whole different model and I went ahead and canceled.

    But other than that, the installation was good, as well as the doorbell and inside cameras and the thermostat. And I liked the app. It was all-in-one and I liked that it integrated with Google. It’s the extra step of saying, “Hey, Google, talk to Alarm.com.” Then I go from there and try to work it in as much as I could. The quality of the equipment is solid. I give it a thumbs up on that. It didn’t feel cheap and when I installed it, it definitely held up.

    Also, it was a really good price. But I don’t like paying for monitoring and when I canceled that, the monthly price went down just a little bit. I wasn’t really happy about that because I'm paying for the app access and video streaming. To me, compared to other companies, that was a bit much. Then, when I tried to purchase the same sensors for the same equipment, the same frequency, and it was through Qualisys, it didn’t work. I didn’t connect at all. So, I just left it alone. I canceled Link Interactive and I turned in all the equipment. For it to be that low on price, it was a good experience. It’s just certain things didn’t work right. I tried to further solve problems and eventually they would have been solved. But I didn’t wanna go through all that and I didn’t wanna pay that much.

It takes a lot more than what they would allude to be able to do everything that needs to be done on a security system. I’m savvy at it and it sounded simple but the more I did it, the more complicated it got.

    I had a sensor that I know that they knew I had, that they never put into my system which was weird. They sent me a water sensor for flooding, so I figured if they sent it to me they would have already programmed it into my system. They program it remotely. Since I bought that sensor from them, I expected it to come plug and play but it wasn’t because I don’t see it on my sensor. It has been that way for a long time. They need to make sure that they get all those sensors on my system hooked up. But other than that, Link is good to deal with and they get back to me quickly.

Another thing, when the doorbell rings, I can see the inside camera working but I need a doorbell for the outside too. Once I get a strong WIFI, it should work. Other than that, everything else is working. And once I get it going, it would be great because I know who is at the door. The equipment lights up good and everything is very well. I like that it is easy and slim. Moreover, the equipment’s quality is good and the cost is so good in relation to the quality. So far, my sense of security has been pretty much the same since having Link security system as there are people coming in and out all the time. People will notice when they see the stuff. Overall, I'm satisfied with Link Interactive.

    I initially started working with Link Interactive, but their overall system was not what I was looking for. The alarm wasn’t loud enough, and I would have to buy a separate alarm which if you need an alarm system, you want a whole system that really works. Also, the situation with the sensors took a lot of work on my part. I put in over 20 hours in the whole situation. I was reluctant to just throw those hours away, but the system wasn't as good as I had thought it was gonna be.

    When I purchased a home, I decided to purchase a home security system as well. I went with Link because of the promotions they were offering. Also, their monthly monitoring services were more of what I was looking for compared to other quotes I got. In addition to that, their customer service reps were very helpful. They responded within 24 hours of me requesting a quote via phone. And then once I got the information, I asked them if they could follow back up in 24 hours, so I could discuss it with my wife. They did that.

    Once the equipment had arrived, they had a call already in place to make sure everything was working properly and make sure I was able to install everything. The doorbell camera was far the most challenging thing I had as far as installation. But that was because of the break of the house than anything else. Other than that, I get text notifications whenever there’s motion detected on one of the outdoor cameras, or if I leave the house, and don't set the alarm. The fact that I can log into the app at any point in time, and just check on things around the house is convenient.

    Having found Link Interactive through Costco, we took a shot at Link's system given that we trust Costco. They’re good to their consumer base. Everyone that I’ve dealt with at Link is also great, although, the set-up initially was a little challenging. After they sent me equipment, no one has followed up to ask how did things go. Plus, what they do is exactly the reverse of how it should be. You just get a bunch of equipment, then you go around and stick it into various sensors, then you have to call them to get the labeling correctly.

    What they should do is get the door names, the door knocks, and then send a pack that has the sensor name, like which is for the front door or for the window. Anyway, the system is a few years old now, but it’s perfectly fine. One thing, however, is that there’s no volume dial on the speaker. If an emergency happens, the speaker that the operator speaks to you through is unbelievably loud. You wanna stay away from it, but you also have to communicate with it. It’s already stressful when the alarm is going off, and you try and enter your code. And then the kids are crying because the alarm went off, and then this really loud speaker goes off, and you’re trying to communicate. They’re so loud, I can’t even think straight. There is a volume control, but not enough for that, like there’s no way that you can turn the volume down. Overall, they're a decent service, but there’s a lot of other systems out there where you can get monitored for a lower cost.

    Link Interactive is okay as compared to the home security system that I had in a different house. The interactions that I had with their reps were great and the installation went fine. The only thing is that the system may tell me that my door is closed but it is wide open, or a garage door is closed, but it is open. But other than that, everything else is fine. I’ve got to redo some door sensors because I had the house painted and I’m missing magnets, so I gotta order some more door sensors. So right now, the door sensors are ineffective, but that is my fault.

    I also got the cameras, but I haven’t installed them yet because I'm a little overwhelmed by that system. I wish we had something more like the Blink. It is overwhelming as a consumer to get a box full of stuff and expect to know how to do that. Nevertheless, I would recommend someone getting Link Interactive. Their system works well.

    To provide protection for our home, I got Link. Their pricing and the capabilities that they provide were both of the requirements that I was looking for. Also, the smart features like the home automation stuff were part of the reason why I went with the system because I knew in the future that will be something that I'd be looking into doing. I ended up seeing two guys and they did a good job of explaining all the features that the company provided. They also answered all my questions thoroughly.

    I had to self-install the system but the installation instructions weren't clear so I had to call. The lady I talked to walk me through the process. It took about three hours to get the system up and running. I'm pretty tech savvy so it was something that I was able to handle. It was something that I knew how to do and I knew what I was getting into. But I can imagine if there's someone who isn't the savviest on that kind of stuff, it could possibly be aggravating.

    We like the wireless remote function that we have on the alarm.com app on our phones. Right now we just have it with simple alarm for when we're in the house or when we leave. Our system has fire detection too. We just moved into the house about two months ago so we're still trying to get settled in before we start doing some of the remote features like locks. So far, the system has been pretty good. We've had it for a little over a month now and we haven't had any issues.

    We are definitely getting the bang for our buck with Link. I shopped around with other companies and I felt like part of the reason why I went with them was they are providing a lot of the features other companies are doing but at an economical cost. Link is a pretty good company. If anybody is in the market to purchase a security system, they should definitely reach out to Link.

    If I could give them a negative star, I would. This company supplies the cheapest equipment I have seen and will not last. Equipment is missing pieces that allow the equipment to mounted. The "customer service rep" implied that I was too stupid to figure out how to mount the components. The customer service is horrible and there is NO way to get out of the 3 year contract. They will not credit your account for any of the system's failings. Their "oh I am sorry to hear that," is supposed to make up for the wasted money. For a 3 year contract, you should have 365 days to try out the system. If they believed in their product, it would have that warranty.

    Try to click on links in their website, half of them don't work. Do you want a company that can't keep their website updated to be monitoring your house? I should have been alarmed by the short trial period. They shouldn't even bother to have customer service reps and lower the price of service. The company lies continuously. I don't understand how there are any positive reviews of this system or the company. The company claimed they do not pay for the reviews but that won't be the first lie they told. They put all the responsibility on the customer and take none for themselves.

    The contract is 13 pages long. Be sure to read the whole thing. At first the system might seem ok, but once you past the 30 day trial period, you have to pay for the whole length of the contract. You might as well tape the cash to the side of the house. It would do the same amount to protect your house as this company. That is how much value this company provides. No matter what instructions are written in your file, they disregard it.

    Also, they seem to brag out the BBB review. Make sure to read the comments. None of the complaints are actually resolved and the tone of the company's responses is disgusting and show their shady business practices. Their whole business plan is to sign people up for 3 years, pretend they are helpful for 30 days and then just let the payments roll in. The only thing they have spent money on is a good lawyer to write their customer agreement. The employees should be embarrassed to work for this company.

    We took over the company that used to have Link Interactive. Everything was great, and the rep, Barbara, was also excellent. She was very kind, nice, and helpful. The features of the system are neat, updated and they have nice technology, too. Also, the quality of the system is good.

    Link Interactive has always been pleasant and respectful. They try to help as much as they can, but I got one big idiot that keeps coming inside the house and he knows how to get around Link's system. He keeps getting taught how to get around each one of the panels that I keep putting in. And I'm getting tired of paying for stuff that is not working. The system works. If you set the alarm and come in, it's gonna go off. If you open a window, it's gonna go off. But Link has gotta figure out some way of closing whatever backdoor they have in our system.

    We were still in the trial period with another company and their apps didn't work as well. I read good things about the Alarm.com app and apparently, they were a company that could've used that and they tried to talk to me into staying. They would all of a sudden give me access but I felt like they had their chance. We signed up for Link Interactive and they have been good for the most part. It was easy to get the system installed but we've been disappointed in a couple things. There doesn't seem to be a way to keep the doors from being bypassed. Their tech support has tried to help me but there were times when things were bypassed when we didn't want it to be and we're not having to put in the code to tell it to bypass. It’s not happening all the time but I don’t know if what starts the countdown is when the door gets left ajar a bit.

    The system is at my daughter's house. The customer service told me to call them again sometime when I'm there. They've tried pushing everything out to the panel again but it happened again two days ago and so, whatever they did, it didn't work. This has happened several times since we got the system and the same kind of thing has happened with arming it with a remote. I have been looking into that and I even called the manufacturer. They said there wasn't a way to do that with the remote but it's not even working right with the panel when they set it not to bypass unless the code is put in. Having your front door or your garage door bypassed when you think you've armed the whole house is not acceptable.

    The remotes are disappointing and you can’t count on them as far as arming it because you don't know if it's really gonna arm or not. We've used them for disarming but I told people that they should not use it to disarm it. It’s not dependable enough. Also, I am disappointed by the quietness of the actual alarm siren. It's not adequate. The system is on the pricey side but they knocked it down a couple of dollars for me to get it closer to what it would have done with that other company that we were dealing with. I'm not totally sold that this is the best option but at this point I'm locked in.
