    We were remodeling our house and we got robbed. I googled top security systems and Link Interactive was one of them. The sales person was very nice and patient. We had multiple e-mails back and forth and he did a phone call with me. I was still on the fence but he was very knowledgeable, gave me good suggestions, and was there for all my questions. We finally got Link's system and I forced my boyfriend to do the installation. He just YouTubed how to install it and it went real good. He took two hours because he kept double-checking and looking at other ones. We also didn’t want the alarm to be going off or anything like that.

    I’m very satisfied so far and my sense of security has been good since having the system. I feel more at ease and I definitely felt like the house was secure when we were on vacation for a week. We used it, which was good. I would recommend the salesperson who assisted me and the whole process was easy. One doesn’t have to wait for anybody to come and make an appointment for them to install the system. You could do it on your own on your own time.

    We bought a new house and decided to purchase a home security system. We had a security system before but Link Interactive's was so much easier for installation. Link’s rep was very informative. I told him what we were looking for and he knew exactly what would suit our needs. Our new house has many windows and I'm happy that there's no sensor on every single window. There's a glass break unit that is perfect and a doorbell camera with our system. And although the cost was the same as my previous one, Link's system has more features that we wanted.

    We had a great experience with Link prior to the purchase but after the sale they’ve been half as responsive as far as support, but it’s still adequate. The Link system is more robust and we’re able to turn on and off remotely, plus it’s less expensive than the older ADT system. I installed it myself and it was fairly easy. I'm happy with Link. It’s worth the investment. It’s the least expensive but with most features.

    We had a home security system that just became non-functional so it was time to replace it. I shopped about three different companies and it came down to two things, basic pricing and packages. The Link Interactive rep who I spoke to was awesome and their system felt like a good bang for the buck in terms of the quality of the control panel. We have one kid in the family and my fiancée is very technologically challenged so I had to have something that was user-friendly and the touch screen was awesome. Link Interactive is wireless, which is awesome again. Comparing it to the prior system, it’s completely two different animals as the former was a wired system.

    The installation was a cakewalk and it was one of the easiest things I ever installed. Everything was pretty much straightforward. It took me 2 months after we got it because of a job change and other stuff but we like it. It does exactly what it’s supposed to do. The remote arming feature is badass. It’s one of my favorite things. If I leave the house and I forget, I could do it from anywhere I want and that’s a great thing. I’d highly recommend Link Interactive.

    I Googled and looked at the best smart residential and commercial alarm systems and then two came up. I was pointed to Link Interactive's direction. The Link Interactive system that we have is for commercial use. Their rep called me and she was a very nice young lady. She walked me through the steps and what I was looking for in the packages. She then put them together and emailed them to us. We liked how the interaction was because she wasn’t very pushy or tried to sell us anything, so we called them back based on that. Plus she gave us enough time to make a good decision.

    Everything was already preset up in the box and that was cool. It was also helpful that everything was self-explanatory and there were a lot of videos online. I can go and change and set up different rings in the doors for each sensor. The support was there and I didn’t have to call in, but the rep was very helpful. This is our first time trying the system out and I like it. As compared with the current competition, Link Interactive has more features offered with our system and they're good. The touchpad they offered is way above average. It looks nice and gives me all the features. However, we would like somebody to call and tell us how the response works when the security system actually goes off. Other than that, everything was good and I’m happy with their service.

    The reps of Link Interactive were pleasant and helpful. However, the monthly cost is high, so it would be nice if the cost went down a little. I'm not expecting a lot. I pay about $35.99 but it would be nicer if it was less than $30. Also when I was looking at the system, I didn’t quite understand but my friend took a look at it and helped me set up the system so that made it easy. The features meet my needs. The system works well and it's accessible from my phone. I just activate the system on my phone, which makes it convenient.

With the system, I like that whenever you open a window or door, it has the monitoring system on it that it lets you know that it's being opened. Also, the smartphone features are very convenient.

    I’ve been in business for 30 years. I wanted a system that's wireless versus my past system, so I ended up with Link. However, it’s just been a nightmare. Their rep was a salesman and wanted the commission. He said it’s the greatest alarm system in the world, but everything with the sensors is cheap plastic and made in China. We were told that the installation would be simple too, but I had to hire an electrician to help with everything. They have these crappy little screws and we needed a micro Phillips screwdriver. It's very disappointing.

    The panic buttons are also like cheap, little wrist things that are for senior citizens if they fall down. They’re like toys and now I’m regretting that I went with Link. I use SimpliSafe in one of my home rentals and their equipment is far superior than Link's. The smoke alarms are absolutely useless too. I have two of them--one in my kitchen area and another in my attic. However, they don't work because we were told that they were far away and we needed a repeater. So, we spent money and they sent us a repeater, only to find out that 50% of the staff says repeaters work with the smoke alarms while the other half says they don't. We've had to turn the smoke alarms off because we keep getting a notification that the smoke alarm is not working or it’s out of range.

    Our latest nightmare is that there are no delays right on the doors. Almost every day, my manager has to sit at the panel setting this alarm while the restaurant is busy and we have customers. On Tuesday night, when the manager left the building, the motion alarms set off. The motion alarms' original delay was set for 30 seconds. Instead of putting a delay on the alarm, it went off and we couldn’t even get to the back door to get out. I had to rush back to the restaurant.

    Every employee supposedly has their name programmed as well, and with their own code, it’s not working. They have to use the default setting. It’s also taken two months to get my name off the paperwork. I told them to use the name of my business. And I had to sign a whole new contract a second time. It's been terrible with Link. If someone asks me about them, I'll tell them not to use this company.

    There has been a lot of break-ins in our area so we got a home security system for safety. Link Interactive's rep was really friendly and handled my situation very well. She gave me a breakdown of how it would work and said that I can add whatever I needed as far as equipment. It wasn’t like a package and they kinda customized it to my needs. Then they broke down the actual equipment amount into installments but I have to pay a large sum upfront. The cost of the system goes hand-in-hand with the quality. For $60 a month for a camera and alarms on every door and window in the house is a good deal. However, the installation was a little more complicated than I thought it was gonna be. They made it seem like it was a lot easier but it seems trying to get the cameras to connect and set everything up were a little frustrating. I probably would have paid a little bit more to have somebody come and install it.

    The features of the system are also a little complicated to use. As far as getting the video set up, there are times where its signal will fail. For instance, we had an incident last night where there was a car parked outside and I clicked “record” but it only recorded for about 39 seconds and I couldn’t get the rest of it to record so I didn’t get the model of the car. I just saw lights. It failed me on that one. Nonetheless, I feel safer because I feel like the system will catch any movement that’s going on in the front and the back of the house. We have a little one so any time she tries to open the door, it will let us know that there’s a door open.

I installed the system on my own and it was easy. But, they don’t really give you a very good instruction and there was laughing on that end.

    I have a home security system provided through my cable company. I was upgrading for more but it seemed that they were no longer modernizing and updating with the time for home automation and Alexa integration. I purchased a system from Link Interactive as the features were compelling. Also, their sales guy was a bit more aggressive than the other people that I was dealing with. He was persistent in consistently reaching out to try to secure the sale. And although he was knowledgeable, it seemed that he didn't do enough time deep digging into my particular application because I still don’t have the system fully installed. So, it shows that I’ve had the system for a couple of months but it’s still in the box.

    Link Interactive did not clearly disclose the fact that it was a self-installation system as well. The pieces that I could do myself were fairly simple, however, the camera mounting, wiring and things with that nature are beyond my threshold. I have some anomalies here with the way that my house is wired too. And so far, no one has followed up with me to figure out if I got it installed or how it’s going, but they've billed me. And that’s a bit frustrating.

    I wanted to protect my home, valuables, and myself. So, I looked into getting a home security system. I was looking for certain features and I was deciding between Link and another company. The person from the other company I spoke with had me fit and I was ready to make that decision based on my interaction with him and their customer service. But it really came down to the price because Link ended up being about $20 less. Plus, the initial fees were less, too.

    I had an amazing experience with the other company's guy, but Link's rep was cool and I wasn't disappointed. The install went well, too. The instructions were clear and I didn’t have to figure it out myself. I ended up calling to get the doorbell set up and they were helpful for that. Then the Bluetooth on the panel wasn't working and I called again. The guy helped talk me through on how to turn that on as well.

    I feel like a lot of security companies out there overprice. When you think about how much you interact with the system a day, it's really just an on and off feature and it's ridiculous what people are charging. But Link had the best deal I've seen and they are well worth it. They were offering the same things that these other companies were offering but for way less. The smartphone features are good, too. And with the system, there is this added peace of mind, especially if I'm in bed upstairs and I hear something downstairs, the alarm will go off so I should be fine. I'm not so jumpy knowing that I've got that extra security. Overall, it has been a positive experience and I’d recommend Link.

    I needed a home security system for my new home. I found that Link Interactive was in the top three and that their people were responsive compared to others. They also knew what they were talking about. Another thing was--even if the service was the same for everybody, the equipment was cheaper because it’s a self-installation thing. I dealt with their salesperson Jordan and he would call me if I ask him to call, which was what I wanted. I tried to do the same with CPI but they never responded back. And ADT was responsive but they’re very expensive.

    The installation was easy. I’m a software engineer so I know how these things work. One thing I like is that the panel itself has a glass break sensor, so I didn't have to spend some money for something extra. The sensors are working fine. However, there is an issue that’s happening in my house. Even if I open and close the door, the sensors sometimes don't read the closing and then the system keeps saying that the doors are open. One reason could be the gap between the sensor and the magnet. So, Link Interactive sent me 10 new magnets but I have yet to install them in a different place to see if that solves the issue.

    Also, I might need something even thinner, so I won't have an issue with the doorframes. With the magnets, I can’t put it too close because when I open the door, I don’t want the magnet to fall off. Then, if you stick it a bit far, it won’t detect. Link Interactive can have magnetic strips that are as thick as those self-adhesive tapes that came with the kit. On the other hand, the touchscreen works fine. And when I tried to do the setup, I didn’t feel that it was less responsive.

    I do everything with my phone too because it’s arming and disarming the system. I do the alarm.com. I have the feature where if you’re in the AV mode and your phone is nearby, it just disarms the system. But I don’t know if I want to stick with that thing or should I just remove that because if I lost my phone and somebody found it then got close to my house, the system would just unlock and give me a notification. But still, I would recommend Link Interactive.

    We liked the general pricing of Link Interactive but the behavior of their reps was the big thing that sold us. We were going to go with another company, but their sales reps became very pushy. My wife and I also wanted time to confer with one another when we were making the purchase and Link was the only one that stood by their pricing and told us to take our time. Installing the system wasn't bad considering that it took me about an hour. And the instructions left something to be desired, but if you’re half decently smart, you could figure it out with relative ease. Our security system has standard features and it works as intended.

    I had a home security system several years ago and I needed to purchase one when we moved into a new home. When we thought about a new company to choose, I had some knowledge of the Link Interactive's owners. I decided to call them first and they were able to match terms of a similar offer that I had found with Brinks so it was an easy choice. I had a very good interaction with their reps, but they have to set a better expectation about self-installation going forward. It was long and I didn't expect it to be three and a half hours when I called them. If someone has sensors only and just setting up the basics, the installation would be less than an hour, but it’s good to anticipate that cameras and other things could be a couple of hours with some people.

    I'm average in terms of being handy around the house but there are some things I do and don't. We ran into some issues and had to troubleshoot, and they were good in helping me through that process. At the end of it, a couple of the sensors weren’t reading right but they were gonna send me some things to help make it work. I was transferred to two different agents halfway through ‘cause their shift was over but they’re very patient and always helpful. We use the features offered in our system, including the app, a lot and they have been fine. We chose to do the doorbell and a camera inside. We also got some alerts set. We’re still figuring it out, but for the most part, it’s been good. The equipment is of good quality and my family seems to like it. Its cost has been all right also.

    The main downside for the industry is that technology changes very fast and a lot of them signs us up for a three-year contract, which feels a long time to be stuck in today’s world. There have to be some options to upgrade the technology as it advances like what we see in a lot of the mobile phone space where we get the latest technology when we sign up for a longer term. We still had hesitancy as we contemplated but we went forward and I wouldn’t hesitate to refer a friend to Link Interactive.

    I've always had home security systems. More recently, I chose Link Interactive's panels which look more up-to-date. However, I'm not thrilled that I was promised I'd be able to get one of the doorbell cameras. That was a month ago and I still haven't gotten it. The main reason why I chose their service was because Alarm.com was the only one that could have that integrate with the app instead of having to use a separate app on my phone. Now, I'm out of the period where I could return the panel without losing money. I shouldn't have to constantly reach out to the reps about the issue but I did so two weeks ago, even though that’s the sales team's job.

    The installation was a breeze for me and the features in my system are good enough. Still, they should look into working with the Google Home integration. Currently, to control my system, I had to say, "Okay, you go connect to Alarm.com," and set my thermostat to cool to 72 degrees, for example. It would be better if I can have them directly connect to the Link Interactive panel through Google Home versus having to connect to Alarm.com through Google Home, and then Alarm.com back into Link Interactive. It gets rid of that middle step when I would be able to say, "Okay, Google. Set my thermostat to 72 degrees."

    Also, I've seen a bunch of feedback online about people not thrilled about all of those extra steps because if you misspeak one time in that long jumble of commands, you have to start all the way over. Furthermore, when you just want to turn off your bedroom light, it's a lot easier to say, "Okay, Google. Turn off my lights." Also, the Alarm.com backend doesn't like number integrations, when I have my master bedroom that is a larger room with three sets of light switches. Master bedroom light one, two and three, aren't acceptable to it for some reason. I have to say, "Just turn off master bedroom lights." So using voice control, it's either I have all my lights on or all my lights off. They told me to try spelling out the number but that doesn't help either. So, I may have to rename my devices to something unique, which I shouldn't have to change the name of a light in my room to something different than the actual light in my room to control.

    Still, the overall cost of the Link Interactive system is within a dollar or two of any other service offered by any other company. The big seller is the panel as it is one of the newer versions so it's a bit more responsive. With ADT or Vivint, however, you could connect the panel directly with Google Home and the voice control is much more responsive. Also, Link Interactive should have sales teams keep their promises and follow up with customers when they say they're going to. They shouldn't give out their promises just to make a sale. It's quite irritating when I don't get what I'm told I'll be able to get.

    I moved out of state and my family doesn’t live nearby so I figured it would be safer to have an alarm system. I did research and out of the ones that I was narrowing it down to, I love that Link Interactive has a cheaper down payment. The down payment was something but the representative worked with me to get my down payment cheaper and I really felt comfortable making the purchase. She gave me an extra $100 off the total package. That was cheaper and then I will end up owning the equipment or I can take it with me when I move.

    The installation was a little tricky but I figured it out. The instructions need to be a little bit more detailed as far as the motion sensor, which was a little bit difficult to fit together or set up how I wanted it. They also have to find a way to better explain to whoever that made the purchase or will be fitting the door sensors that they make sure the door sensor should be hit when the door is shut and opened. I had to figure it out on my own and it wasn’t extremely hard but somebody who isn’t as experienced with technology and equipment wouldn’t get it as easy as I had.

    The features of the system so far are cool and simple. The security panel that I got comes with the glass break sensors and I didn’t have to purchase that separately. I have used the alarm feature on my phone a lot, to disarm and then arm the system. Usually, when I get to my car in the morning, I will arm my security. Or if I forget, I have it set up to remind me at 8:30 to arm it. Then I can disarm as I’m walking in the house. There’s a panic button on the app which is cool too. It’s just the thing I needed ‘cause I have the access.

    A couple of times, my alarm went off and the police didn’t come. I’m trying to figure out why and Link found out that they dispatched to the police but the police didn’t come. Still, I’m definitely more comfortable sleeping at night. I’m a scared person so I always feel like somebody could be sneaking in my apartment at any time. When I turn on my alarm at night, I’m comfortable when I wake up in the middle of the night to know that nobody’s in my home because my alarm didn’t go off. So, get a security too ‘cause it would help you sleep better at night. I recommend Link Interactive.

    There was a lot of recent break-ins in my apartment complex so I got a home security system. I needed something very basic and didn’t wanna pay too much so I chose Link Interactive. The sales part was good and the installation was easy. I set up the system in just 20 minutes. The instructions were surprisingly easy considering I’m not really good with that type of stuff. I like their features. It’s really cool that I can dial for emergency or fire right there on the panel instead of having to call on my phone. I also use their smartphone feature to set the alarm whenever I’m running late and I have to run out the door, and it's very easy to use. Since I've had Link Interactive, I definitely feel safe especially leaving my dogs alone now. Also, Link Interactive has the best price. I'd tell others to go with them.

    My husband passed away and I want to be a little more secure. Link Interactive was recommended to me by my daughter and son-in-law who had it up in Arizona. The system is a do-it-yourself and I had my brother who helped me with the installation so it was fairly easy. I’m very pleased with all the features and I use the app in my phone a lot. It works really well. I added a camera and an electronic lock in my package and I'm going to add a couple of extra things more. I would recommend them.

    I got a divorce and I'm living on my own so I purchased a home security system. I chose Link Interactive because of the customer service. Sam was the gentleman who helped me and he understood that I kept running into issues. It kept taking longer and he wasn't pushy. I told him it would be six months and he left me alone for six months.

    Their installation was easy because it all comes in a box, they have straightforward instructions, and you set it up yourself. We had ADT at one point in time and it was pretty much the same setup. Just the panel and four door sensors and it took a guy two hours to set it all up because we had to be there for him to be there. But with Link, I did it myself and it took maybe an hour. Also, I really like the features. The system tells me we have really bad storms here, when the power goes out and when it comes back on, and how much of my neighborhood has lost power as well. So, I would know if it's a local issue or if it's mass spread.

    I only have door sensors right now and I've decided on getting more pieces that they offer, like their smart thermometer, carbon dioxide detectors, and especially the temperature gauge. The cost is really good because it's $35 a month for what I have right now, with their customer service being so awesome. ADT was $65 a month and it was a pain just to get batteries from them. I've had a good experience overall with Link. I've already recommended them to my mom because she's opening a store and she needs a security system for insurance purposes. I told Sam and they've been working on that.

    I want to get rid of the old home security company I have so I went in through a website. I found Link Interactive there and their ratings were high. I had a good experience with their representatives and they were knowledgeable. They answered every question I had. The system is in already but I still got three months on the other alarm so I'm not in a hurry to finish the installation. I didn’t want to get stuck with no alarm between it so I always take my time and prepare. The installation is do-it-yourself and it's not difficult, although I’m having a little hard time with the motion sensors. I’m not sure if it should pick up as quick. Our place is a warehouse, a place of business, so we have the commercial doors that go up and down which is a little different than a real house. Still, the features offered in the system are good and the system itself is good. The cost is all right too. Overall, I would recommend Link Interactive.

    Link Interactive had good reviews and some good technology then the montly cost was about $15 cheaper than some of the leading providers. But one of the things they do to provide customers that low cost is they require a three-year lock-in. But that aside, the representatives were great. They laid out what I needed and what I wanted, and were straightforward. Then we had a handyman to help us out with the installation.

    I have a clunky built-in tool thing that's a little bit too big. But they should rely on the app going forward. That's what we typically use to set the alarm system if we leave the house. But it seemed like we had to buy this iPad thing first to set up and it's like 12 by 6 inches and an inch deep and we don't really know where to put that. So we leave that in the office. We also have a ring doorbell system and that's helpful. We can see who's at our front door and that give us a little sense of security. But we didn't feel it was necessary to spend an additional 300 to get 3D cameras 'cause we live in a neighborhood that is typically safe. With the front door covered, we feel pretty good.

    But after purchasing the system, we felt that we were not really using it as much as we wanted. So it would be nice to see them get more into the automated home services and not just security. Nonetheless, the equipment is good and it seems to do the job whenever we turn the service on and forget to turn it off. The system alerts us via text, goes off and makes a lot of annoying noise. The support has been good too. They call us within a couple of minutes and tell us that cops have been notified and check if they should un-notify the cops.

    I bought a house two months ago and I didn't know about the neighborhood, so I was kind of concerned. I was shopping around for a home security system and I called Link Interactive because I was googling and I saw their name. The lady on the phone was really nice and sweet. I told her I didn't know when was I moving and she said I could get it and activate it whenever I wanna activate. Then, after I activate, I would have 45 days to try it out. That was great. She sold me.

    Last month, I got an email saying my account has been activated which was weird. I did not activate it. But I got 45 days. I would see, figure it out, and give them a call. And then, I forgot. On August 1st, they charged me $44. I called and told them I did not activate anything and asked why were they charging me. They said that because I did not activate, they automatically activated for me. They shipped my item on June 1st and my 45 days was over on July 15. They have a policy that after 45 days, if you don't activate it, they would activate it for you automatically. I said that when I was talking to the lady, she said, 'You can activate whenever you want, and after you activate, you have 45 days.' Also, they've gotta at least have some courtesy and let me know, 'Hey listen, your 45 days is up, and we're just gonna activate your account. Are you ready to activate?' They did not tell me anything about it.

    Then, I said I don't need it but they said I'm in a contract now for three years. I'm stuck with something that I just bought online and I don't know what it is and how it's gonna work. And now, I'm gonna pay $45 a month for the next three years. I'm not even living in that house and for the next six months, I won't be living in that house. I have construction going on. They're saying they're trying to help me out but I'm having the worst experience and I won't be able to recommend them to anyone.

That's rare in the U.S. Typically, the call center is somewhere and the agents are difficult to understand. They also need to call somebody else to help.

    I integrated my existing alarm system and I had to do a bit of pre-work in terms of where the termination of the wires are and connect those to the box that interface with Link's system. Though it took a bit of time, the result was good. Furthermore, with Link, I was getting better technology for the same price. Their level of technical support is very high and that sets them apart.

    We live in Detroit and right next to the freeway. Among security system companies, Link Interactive was a little more affordable and their representatives are easier to get a hold of. With other companies, we were put on hold forever and it just didn't work. And with those, we had to schedule a time for people to come and install the system. But with Link, we did ourselves in a couple of minutes and their reps were helpful. One of them was Justin and he was in contact with me for weeks because I was back and forth about it. Every time, he responded right away and he was able to get the price to a place that was comfortable for us.

    The quality of the equipment is good but I had a hard time sticking the window and door sensors alarm. One of our doors is a little wonky, and it took a bit to get it right. But even though I held it down in the amount of time it said, it would just knock off when I opened the door. Finally, I got it in the right spot where it's still sensed by its other half but wasn't about to get knocked off. Otherwise, we're satisfied with it so far. The service does what we wanted it to do and I feel safe when I'm home alone at night because my husband has to stay in duty on a military base twice a week.

I had this thing fall off the wall and triggered the alarm, and I just used some tape for it. Then the Schlage locks we bought somewhere else isn’t fully connecting to the system at all.

The rep I worked with was knowledgeable, explained stuff and let me have the time that I asked for to make the decision without bothering me and calling. So, they were great.

We haven’t armed it a lot but even when it’s not armed, it’s providing us a benefit. However, I hope there's a way of making the control center not need to be plugged in because trying to find a convenient location that’s also near a plug-in was the biggest challenge. Nevertheless, just telling my boyfriend's son that we have this security system helps. The kid heard the system announce the doors and garage door stuff so he knows that it works.

    I wanted to have a doorbell camera and a thermostat built into a home security system. We needed to monitor both of it from our phone so it required us to be in a bit of higher tier. I checked out Guardian, Frontpoint and ADT but I didn’t like them even from the start. Link Interactive had the best pricing and the lowest monthly rate for the features that we wanted and everyone else for the monitoring feature was at least about $55 a month. Guardian was about $400 more for the exact same system and they both use the same control panel and sensors.

    It took me about three weeks to decide to go with Link and their rep, Zack, was really laid back. I sent him an email to ask him to give me a call. He gave me a call and he was not super pushy. Installation went really well too. It was very easy as long as you could do a hole in the wall and run a cord through it. When I first got the system, I didn’t realize this but they actually programmed everything to work together before it arrived at our door. They have a screen protector that sits on top of the screen so it wouldn't get scratched up. I thought the panel was scratched up and thought this was a used system, so I was very livid. I emailed Link and they told me that it was just a screen protector and to just take it off. They also told me that the equipment has been calibrated to work together, that was why all the sensors were opened. That way, when I turned the system on, everything was already synced together.

    I use the Alarm.com app on my fone with the Link Interactive system and it's very smooth. The control panel’s quality is really nice too. The sensors on the doors are made of plastic and they're decent. I had an issue where the thermostat didn’t sync, so I called Link about that and the rep fixed it. Within about 15 minutes, it was completely done from start to finish. They also emailed me a copy of the letter from my insurance company, so that I could get the deduction on the homeowners. Overall, I have a really positive experience with Link Interactive and I don’t plan to go anywhere else.

Also,they have been as responsive, if not more and the wireless system works better than the wired one that I had. So, it’s been an improvement in every aspect. The people who helped me for the initial set up were tremendous. They spent half an hour to an hour on the phone with me helping me sort through things and sending me out things when I needed them. So, everyone who I dealt with so far has been very helpful and patient and I’ve never had to wait long on a call, on a hold or anything like that.

    I had a couple of issues with the installation because I was trying to convert the wired system to see if I could just continue to use the old wired sensors. They had a device that will take those wires and then transmit them via radio signal but that didn’t work. We spent a few hours trying to get that to work, but once we decided to give up on that and just go all wireless, it was very simple. The features are very good but I would like to have the ability from the app to bypass the sensor and to see more clearly when a sensor has been bypassed on my app. Sometimes it will show it and sometimes, it won’t. It’s nice to have a security system when I leave the house to know that it’s gonna be protected from anyone making an entry without having the code.

And then, our dealings with those working for them were really positive, so it encouraged us to keep going. We started off with Joseph and he was really thorough, and he wasn’t pushy at all. I talked to him a couple of times and asked him a lot of questions. I wasn’t even set yet in going with Link Interactive and I let him know, and he was good with that. He didn’t pressure me with anything. I talked to my husband and after that, it led us to go back to them. I also worked with David and he was amazing and patient with me.

    My husband installed the system and he said it was self-explanatory. He had a couple of questions, but he was able to get those cleared up when he called and talked talk to Link's reps, or he would watch their videos. We were able to get the features that we wanted and we're happy with it. I like using the app on the phone as I find that really easy and convenient. With it, I can arm or disarm. I found out though that if the alarm goes off, you can't disarm it and you actually have to go to the panel which is good. We had a false alarm and I was impressed with how quickly the Link personnel reached out and contacted us. I also really like the door sensors and I can hear when the doors open, and that gives me a lot of security especially with the kids because they're all so little. Plus I like how you can program a sound for the door. The front door is different from all of the other doors, so I know if somebody went out the front door or if it's just the back door.

Because we were deciding between them and a competitor he gave us quite a bit of information on why to choose them over their competitor and then he was able to get us a discount on one of the pieces of equipment as well. That was fairly helpful.

    When the guy from Link discussed the packages, we ended up getting a doorbell camera and it ended up not being as easy to integrate with our current doorbell as we had anticipated. So we have to return it. He made it seem like it was a plug and play type of thing. He didn’t really explain. He made it seem like a lot more simple than it actually ended up. But that was the only negative thing I have to say. Other than this doorbell camera which just ended up not being the right fit for what we had in place the basic stuff that they gave us were really easy to install.

Their customer service was really good and the lady I dealt with gave me my first quote very easily. She worked with me to make sure we had everything we needed in the package. I had no problem with the installation and also, we use the smartphone features every day. The equipment is well-made, works great at a reasonable price and I'm very happy with it.

    I needed protection and got Link Interactive through Costco. Then I sold my house and sold the alarm with the house and bought a new system directly from Link Interactive and put it into my new house and all of that was a positive experience. Link’s reps were very good to deal with. Plus, the installation was very easy for me. I'm happy with the set of features that it has and everything that I need is there. The quality of the equipment is all very good too and the system performs really well. Alarm systems are expensive but I got a good value with Link Interactive.

    Monitoring

    Reviewed July 9, 2018

    I have family members who have used other security systems and that was what we compared Link to. Link’s upfront cost was a bit lower and the monthly cost was also reasonable for the monitoring portion so we chose it as our home security system. The set-up of the system was pretty simple. We like the features in our system and one of the reasons we went with Link was because they had outdoor cameras that have the motion detection which we wanted because we wanna see if somebody is coming up to the door and be alerted. A lot of the other home security systems don’t offer anything other than interior cameras. So far, the quality of Link's equipment is great.

    We also use the smartphone features every day. We love it because we remember to set the alarm. Now, we feel much better since having Link as we have a lot of people kicking in carport doors in my neighborhood. We have something that we’d be able to look at the video of the driveway and we’d be able to get notified if somebody was at the door and if any of the doors opened. However, we got surprised on a $5 fee on our monthly bill for the monitoring service because of the county that we live in. We were told by the company that we would need to let the county that we live in know that we added the monitoring part. It would be good if Link Interactive would let customers know that stuff ahead of time.

    We purchased a home security system as someone broke into my fiancé’s car and the community is not that safe. We went with Link Interactive for their prices, and their people were super nice. They answered my questions clearly. Also, the installation instructions were easy to follow. I like the system's features except when the windows are open. If I leave the window open to get a breeze in my home and if there's movement towards that window, I would like for the detector to tell me that there's someone coming in through that window. Also, we have a movement monitor on the front door and my fiancé opened it up one time, and it didn’t detect that somebody had just walked in. It also didn’t say that the front door was open.

    I'm moving from one home and I'm having another custom home built. Right now, I'm using SimpliSafe and it's not meeting my expectations, so I decided to go with another system for a new house. I've had numerous conversations with people at Link, and they've all been very friendly, helpful and totally understanding. The reps ordered the system that I wanted and everything was priced out exactly the same. They also allowed me to make customizations 'cause they added some additional sensors in that I thought I needed, besides what was in the standard package. So, they were very accommodating. I signed the contract and they sent me the hardware, and once they started the billing cycle, they suspended it because they knew it was not installed yet. They gave me a 90-day extension, which should be fine. So, everything up to this point has been great so far.

    We were looking to secure our new home and my wife was researching online for security companies, and based on price point and customer service reviews that she was able to find, we decided on Link Interactive. Their sales reps were very helpful and everything that we've spoken were pretty good. The cost of the system was reasonable and I'm pretty happy with price point per month as well. The only hiccup in the process was a little delay on getting the front door camera. The shipping was around three weeks behind the rest of the equipment, but besides that, things went smooth. It was a do-it-yourself installation but everything went well. The system has good features although the central home monitor could be a little better.

    Prior to getting Link Interactive, we had a different provider and their system was very dated and they didn't offer any home automation. Also, their processes were not always followed, so we had several false alarms and they would call the contacts out of order. Instead of calling our home phone first and then our cell phones, they'd call the secondary and tertiary contact. So, my mother-in-law was freaking out why she was getting a call. When we got in touch with Link Interactive, they answered all the technical questions and didn't try to oversell me on anything. They were very honest and upfront, too. The guy I talked to said that I could file the parts individually or however I wanted it, and I ended up buying a package.

    The installation was pretty straightforward. I went through some of the tutorials online and all the documentation that was in the unit. I had a few questions which they were able to answer quickly. The only thing that has been a concern is I ordered a doorbell camera with the bronze face and all they had was the silver face which doesn't match our decor on the outside. The bronze face camera was on back order and I still haven't received it yet. They told me to keep the one they sent and use it. When they get the new one in, they will ship it and swap it out.

    I use the smartphone features all the time. We had some packages that were stolen, so I check the doorbell when packages are delivered. When packages or people arrive at the door, the doorbell is triggered and I can see and talk to them if I want to and view what's there. That's also part of the reason why we started looking at a new system. All Monitronics or Brinks offered was the nest system which didn't have a good integration and we use a lot of Amazon products. Link's cost is fair, too. Cheaper is always better, but with all the services I'm getting from it, it is less a month than what I was paying with our old system and didn't get nearly the amount of features.

    The service is great and I've been pretty happy with the security system's features, but Link may be a little bit behind on the technology. Their camera can't easily identify certain cars or their license plate at all, so I'd like something with a higher resolution. I got to be able to read the license plates and simply identifying the cars doesn't really help too much. Other than that, I have recommended them to a few people. A buddy of mine just bought a vacation home and I told him to take a look at it and he's into home automation stuff, too.

    I've used ADT before but I wanted to try a different security system which is a little more flexible. So far, Link Interactive requires a little more knowledge on my part to set it up. It’s not quite a plug and play but it has some features that I can't get with ADT easily. Most of my interactions with Link’s customer service had been through email and it was self-explanatory so setting the system up was easy. I installed the cameras, the control panel and the motion sensors. It was pretty straightforward and then logging on to the account wasn't too difficult either.

    The system is currently at my rental house and I like the camera and the fact that they are action camera. They're still not cheap to get but seemed to be pretty good. But I would like to see if I can get the notification feature working unlike with ADT that if someone is in front of the house, the system doesn’t send me any notifications. It should be a feature that should be available to see people then notify me because I like to get a heads up if someone is out in front of my door before opening the door.

    Also, I use Link’s smartphone feature to activate the system. There's another feature I haven't used and I have to set up. That’s the geo-fencing or whenever I come up, the system will shut itself off if it recognizes my phone. Other than that, Link’s cost is roughly the same but commitment might be a little less with Link so it might end up being cheaper in the long run.

But after calling and talking with them a couple of times, it got all straightened up good. I got two motion sensors, which are all I needed, but I may have to put a camera. The equipment is working fine and every time somebody gets close, it goes off and tells me.

    We just moved into a house so getting a home security system was one of the first things I wanted to check off our list. I wanted my system to be Alarm.com and I have a couple friends that work there so, I was familiar with their good software and technology and they recommended Link Interactive. I only talked to one other company but Link had a DIY set up and I had a good customer service experience. Ninna, the sales rep, was great and fantastic which made me feel good about the company and everyone has been responsive and reachable. If I had more serious problems, which I've had, unfortunately with the doorbell camera, they were very accommodating so I got my free replacement that they shipped earlier this week.

    Most of the installation was flawless minus the doorbell camera. I appreciate having a well shot YouTube videos with clear instructions. It was nice and helpful to have video, especially with DIY, instead of just reading from a piece of paper. When things were a little more complicated like when I was setting out the doorbell camera, we originally had a digital time which made things complicated. Then I found out through talking with customer service that I needed an adaptor and then I switched the doorbell chime to a mechanical just to make the whole process simpler, which was definitely the best solution. Even my wife was able to help out even though she was not very technical.

    Link Interactive was good for the price point. I could pay for something a little more expensive and get something that's polished and well-crafted like a Master but I don't need that level of polished right now. And I like that I have a good company with a good reputation behind it all. It's nice that it's very simple, but offers a lot of proper tools and notifications like automated things for people who wanna do that. But upfront, you can stick to the default settings which are very helpful. I'm a user-experience designer for a living so I look at this stuff very critically and I appreciate when things are designed well.

    We don't have to worry about things at night or if we're gone. We are in the neighborhood that’s transitioning. In the past, it was known to have a higher crime rate but our particular street and immediate area is just about fine in that area. Still, having the security system helps us, feel a little a lot more home and not have to worry especially with a nice house like ours. It's been pretty great overall.

    We had a Link Interactive home security system before but we got flooded. The Link reps were all good, so I decided to buy again through them. They gave me a package where I could save some money which was really nice. I had to ask for that package but they were very helpful with it. Last time, my husband set the system up and every time he called in, Link walked him through it and gave him details. This time, I called in and they were very patient and walked me through the installation. My contractor had a question about the tilt mechanism. He wasn't sure he understood that and Link went through a few times with him and each time, they did a good job.

    The system’s features are good but I have a problem right now. Out of the blue, the back door indicated it was offline yesterday afternoon. Nothing had happened to it. Nobody opened or closed it even. There's something wrong with the sensor or how it's aligned. It worked for a long time and then all of a sudden it’s offline. Also, I still haven't figured out the geofence feature wherein when I get close, the system changes. I tried clicking around and I couldn't get it to work out.

    Plus, I tried to work the thermostat on my own and I couldn’t. It turned out that I needed to call in and somebody would set it up. The thermostat should have something on it that says to call a certain number to set it up. The smartphone feature is very cool though. Its interface is a little quirky but I worked it out. The system is a good value. I’m paying $30 a month and I know Link Interactive is there and when I ask them a question, they’ll answer it. They seem knowledgeable and I have recommended them.

    I was browsing through the internet and I read a couple of articles. And I was very convinced of what the Link Interactive rep was talking about. He was very knowledgeable and very helpful and he had a lot to do with my decision to go with them. I'm very black and white with the instructions. The equipment was gonna have to be put in a certain way so I always tried to go exactly the way the instructions said. But they don't always work, like the door might not be at the same level as the frame. So I had to play with the instruction as far as installing the sensors. But after the installation, I just used my cellphone and then I called in if there were any issues.

    The features offered in my system were great and it's all I need. It's interactive and I've been able to manage it from my phone. That’s very helpful nowadays and I definitely love it. The systems from the other companies are all around the same price point. But from what I've seen and I compared about 10 of the different leading systems that are out there, Link Interactive is great. However, I found the front yard placard to be too big to my liking. It takes away from the aesthetic of the front of the house. But other than that, everything about my experience with Link Interactive is good.

For someone like me that doesn't like talking on the phone, I prefer email and text messages and it was very convenient.

    I customized the home security system to my needs and I got everything that I wanted to add. I have the cameras, doorbell camera, and the sensors. I like the smartphone features very much too. I can see who's ringing the doorbell when I'm not there. Everything is working fine, although I was concerned with the sensors. I didn't realize how those sensors work because every time I've had an alarm system, a tech came out and installed it, so I don't get to handle that equipment. When I got it out of the package, I was relieved and once I installed it, it worked fine. It served its purpose. I have a teenage daughter and she's home alone.

    We've put a Link Interactive system in our summer home in Wisconsin a couple of years ago and we’re quite happy with it. The experience has been very easy. Although that was a rush job where we were getting ready to leave Wisconsin and we had about a week to do the installation, it went very well. Because of that, I chose them when I replaced the system in our Arizona home. Our experience with the sales and customer service reps have been fine. We have contacted sales first then we had a couple of questions. During the installation, we've made two calls just for a couple minor details.

    We went with a general package for our Arizona home and got a smart thermostat added to it. With the one in Wisconsin, we did a little more customization where we added a few items that weren’t in the package such as motion sensors. Since we've had Link Interactive, it's much easier to monitor. We have both of the systems on the same app on the phone, so both the systems can be checked at the same time just as easily. Then, if we forget to arm the system, we can arm it through the app or arm it when we leave the house, which is nice. So if we’re 10 miles from home, we’d say, “Okay, we can disarm the alarm.” What's also really nice is that we can always have the neighbor come in. The neighbors got their own code and then it takes a picture. The freeze alarm is really great as well especially here in Wisconsin where it gets quite chilly.

    The only issue we had with their equipment was when we had the system in Arizona installed. The motion detector with the Link system doesn’t have as good coverage as the previous one which was a GE. So, we may have to add another motion detector to cover the whole area. Other than that, we would recommend Link to a friend. We’re also looking forward to doing something with camera surveillance in one or both places within the next year or two, and that would be the nicest thing.

Installing the system was a little more difficult, but it’s just because of the age of the system that there was a part that was sent that was defective and they replaced it right away. They overnighted the part and we got the system going right after that.

    I have an old system. It just happened that the age of the motherboard on the system just fell on the year that was the dividing time for being compatible with the Link Interactive System and because of that there had to be some reprogramming done. If I were to have a newer system installed at the house it would’ve been easier. But in overall, they walked me through the steps and maybe it took about an hour. And that was not just because of the company, it was because of my old system, so I can’t blame the company for that. I’m very satisfied.

The pricing was better with Link and it gave me the same thing that I had with the other system. Customer service with Link was also 1,000% better in communicating. During the installation process, I had a hard time. I had previous equipment like my door lock and damage sensors from the other company and we had to deactivate those. When Link sent me the key panel, their customer service reps were very patient with because I’m not an electronic person. They worked with me and didn’t give up no matter how many times I called them back and said that the key panel was not working and reading. It wasn't connected there at first and they were there on the line with me for over an hour until we got it done and finally got it connected.

    The features offered in my system is also a little bit better than the other company I had. I also recommend Alarm.com. The Link Interactive system in Alarm.com app is the best thing that could have happened with these alarm companies. It's the best service provider out there. Its cost is good and the monthly service that I’m getting with them for the same equipment that I had with the other company is 1,000% better. I would recommend them to a lot of people, and I told my family not to go with all these other companies if urgency gathers because everybody has the same equipment. It just has their name on it but they’ll get the same thing with Link.

    My daughter is having a house built and she was told that it's supposed to be ready in November. I told her before she moves into that house, we’ll gonna call Link and have them connect their equipment and everything that she needs. They like my service. They can enter my house and I get an alert about the person who enters. My daughter is a nurse and works crazy hours. I’m definitely gonna make sure she has Link before she moves into that house. I'm enjoying being with Link. I am very satisfied with their system and I wish I had connected with them back then.

    My wife and I are senior citizens, and we live in the country. We felt that a home security system would give us some added benefit of feeling a little bit protected. I had contacted several companies and I talked to a gentleman with Link that was very informative and kind of low-key, but knew what he was talking about. We had him on the speakerphone, we were driving down the road and we both have a high degree of confidence in him.

    It was a DIY installation with Link so there was a little uncertainty that goes with that when you're capable of doing that kind of work, but just not knowing exactly what you're getting into but everything was very easy to do. They have good features. There's a lot of competitors in that marketplace so it's kinda hard to figure everything out but theirs is competitive and fairly up-to-date with technology. It you're looking for a system, this is a good way to go.

    The houses that I bought in the past always had an alarm system and all I needed for them was a monitoring service. Since I moved into a new house, I thought I needed to purchase a security system. This time around, it was just prewired and I had to do some research to determine what I wanted to do. After researching, I went through Link Interactive and it’s my first time to go with them. So far, the system seems to be working okay and overall, their customer service has been very good. My interaction with their representatives started with the potential sale transaction and from there, it led to getting the equipment and having it installed.

    The installation process was a little more complicated and took more time than others as I’m using a combination of wired and wireless. But the support I got was really good to get the system working and the installers explained things properly. The features of the system have been good from what I’ve seen but I need to take some more time and figure all of it out. I also needed to download the Link Interactive smartphone app because I’m doing some travelling. The cost of the system is good compared to the service quality I received, though I need to explore the additional features and functionality of the system to also appreciate the value. And based on what other companies offer, Link is a bit better in terms of pricing.

    In a traditional home security systems, you have your keypad on the wall, but with the one I have with Link Interactive, I’m gonna have to figure out if I want it to be on the wall. So with Link, I have more flexibility in terms of where I can put it. But if I wanna have it wall mounted, it’s not as easy because if the system is not constantly plugged in, the battery can only last so long. Also, if I have a prewired system and if there’s a wire for the controller, I want to ask the tech if the system be connected to that wire. Because I know the system that I have comes with its own wire because it’s wireless.

    We did some research and we picked Link Interactive. They had good reviews and good prices monthly. Also, their sales reps and the customer reps have been outstanding. I have no qualms about them. They call me and email me back. I'm none but pleased with Link Interactive. The installation was easy, as well. I had some problems with the motion sensors though. It was only within 30 feet that the sensors work so they weren't giving enough coverage. AT&T gives longer distance coverage than what Link Interactive does.

    But all the features are great, outstanding and easy to use. The voice command has been great to know and to have, and I'd love to see what they told me about my door when opened longer than two minutes.

    I didn’t know much about my new neighborhood and I was living with my girlfriend. It was nice to have a home security system just in case something happens. I looked around in the brands itself so I can get in the score of different companies and some of them tried to pressure me to purchase something and a lot of them tried to keep me in a contract for long years. They did not give me specifics that somebody would like to have. Link Interactive was in the middle of everything and I had a great customer service.

    The other companies wanted to schedule an appointment over here. ADT said that they don’t charge for an installation, but I had to hold a deposit with them. That was fine, but the person always tried to sell. And when I was trying to call ADT to cancel, it was so much hassle to find the appointment and nobody could know what to do. They also only had a three-year contract and I didn’t wanna do a three-year contract with them and buy equipment that I didn’t wanna buy. With Link Interactive, I can call customer service and they would help me out way more than the other companies. I'm glad that I wasn’t with ADT.

    Also, I asked a couple of questions to the customer service rep and even if she didn’t know the answers, she went to talk with the manager to answer the question. That’s something very important too for business. If you don’t know something, you don’t wanna give misinformation to your customer. Also, the reps never tried to sell me anything, so that was something nice as well. They offered me something and she told me to call back and see if I wanted something later. That was nice because it was not just about the promotion but also be able to choose whenever you feel that you're ready as a customer.

    Furthermore, Link Interactive's installation process was straightforward and simple. Their system came pre-configured at a certain level, so it made it easy for the installation. It was self-explanatory to go over there and make sure everything was okay. Also, the features in my system are great. However, the only issue is that we can disarm the alarm with the phone ring by the Bluetooth, but, a lot of times if we're leaving the house or the area, in 30 or 60 seconds, it overrides the alarm and I arm the alarm for homestay inside. It’s a little bug over there. Even if my phone is connected, it shouldn’t disconnect it, so, a lot of times, I have connected the phone later.

    Additionally, I would like to see later on an integration of the Apple HomeKit. It's great to have their support and I tried using My Amazon, which is nice. I can tell them to set my alarm through the computer through the remote, which is nice. It will be nice to have the Apple feature for that device especially because it's a very techy device that connects everything. It shouldn’t be that hard to implement the module and I would pay more to put an extra device just to have the Apple HomeKit.

    It would also be nice to have a test function where I could let the alarm go off and see if it actually sends in the signal. There is a test mode for the sensors itself, but it would be nice to have a test mode where I can see what happens if I go outside my house and I open the door and don’t put the alarm. Nevertheless, I would definitely recommend Link to a friend. It's very DIY like a series where it's installed on their own and they can learn themselves. It's not that hard to install even for a non-techy person.

    We go away sometimes and we just wanted to be able to know if someone was going in and out of our house. We had a scare. There was one time we thought somebody had been in the house but it was actually just the wind that caught the storm door. So we went ahead and invested in a home security system and we chose Link Interactive because that’s what the previous owners had. The equipment was here and we had turned it on. We had used ADT before but I love Link Interactive better. There are a lot of options that you can change from what I had on my security system from 2003 with ADT, and I am able to check from my phone and computer and it's sending me messages whenever things happen so I can control the level of alertness. I like the features a lot. I'm kind of new to all these smart features but these give us peace of mind that our home is safe when we're away.

    The reps were very kind, patient and answered all my questions. They were also not pushy at all. Also, the installation went easy. Since I already had the equipment, I just had to give the TID numbers to the lady on the line and she was able to put them in and then activated the system. We also did the connectivity test and it was done. There was only one feature that I didn’t like and that’s it will arm even if there's something open. With ADT, you cannot arm the system unless everything was closed. Nevertheless, since having the system, we feel safer when we would go away on trips.

    Link Interactive was the only one that was able to accommodate all the equipment I needed for my family’s protection. I told them what my budget would be and they went through everything with me. They sent me my own estimate on everything I wanted, how much the service would cost and how to get it done. And any time I had a question after purchasing, I’d call them up and they were right there walking me through everything.

    They were really knowledgeable and when I had a question and a representative wasn’t sure, she asked me to hold on and she came back with an answer. There was also one day when she said she was going to call me back and she sent me an email saying that she wouldn’t be there that day, but she was going to get someone else to get in touch with me. And they called me up and it was really great. Installing the cameras and everything went fairly easy too. The panel that I had was a little confusing, but I kept calling them or had them online to walk me through it. And after navigating through it I became familiar with everything and it was easy after that.

    I have 10 windows and two doors, and I want the same type of alarm set up on each one of them and all to be wireless, and I was able to do that. However, the video cameras could’ve been a little bit cheaper. Also, their doorbell for the front door is not wifi or battery operated and it has to be plugged in. There’s also one feature that they don’t have ready yet, and I’m hoping they get on board -- it's the home panel screen. I wanna be able to look at the video cameras right on the panel itself in addition to getting it through my phone and a home computer. But the cameras are very good HD quality. Overall, it has been a great experience. Link Interactive will be able to help people who need to customize their own system and the customer service makes up for the difference in the cost. And then if they want to do a monitoring I would suggest they do a two or a three-year term because the price goes down.

    We have installed a security system in every house we've owned since our first one. A year after we bought the house, we were robbed, so we installed a security system. We had actual experience with the burglary and I decided that I was gonna put a security system in every house from then on. The previous two that I used were through ADT and this new one from Link Interactive is definitely more high-tech. It's got the motion camera which none of my previous ones had. We lived for 18 years in the last house and I had the same security system in that house for 18 years. It was a big technological jump when we moved to this house when I installed the Link Interactive system.

    I've used the customer service a couple of times. The first one, after I did my research and decided that Link Interactive was the company I wanted to go with, was very helpful both in terms of the sales aspect and when I got to the point of doing the installation. I had a couple of questions and they helped me out there very well. And then one time, we went away for a few hours and I turned on the system, and our dog walked through that and set it off. That was a good validation that the system worked. And instead of calling the police right away, Link Interactive immediately called my cell phone and I said that it was the dog. They checked with me and I told them to override it for the meantime. They were very prompt about contacting me, so I've been very happy with the customer service.

    The equipment was simple to install. I'm handy around the house, but someone even much less handicraft than me would be able to install it. The past systems that we had were all installed by a company like ADT. They came and installed it, so this was my first experience with a self-installation and I found that it was really not that difficult. There's a website that I can log in to and I am able to see that the camera is functioning because I was able to see pictures of my living room and kitchen area that were taken from that camera.

    I like the technological aspect in terms of the system that if we lose electricity, it still can work with the cellular instead of using the internet communication for the system. It's got that backup aspect to it in terms of the cellular network and the things have battery backup. It has the tamper sensitivity so that if a burglar breaks in and starts bashing on the sensors, that gets reported too. I like that if the customer service senses an alert on the system, they’ll call me or my wife on our cell phones.

    I value the higher technology aspects the most. For the combination of cost, ease of installation, and the level of capability that’s offered, I'd highly recommend Link Interactive to my friends. Having the security system has changed my sense of security a bit. Now, I have the camera and the sticker on the window and I hope it’s a deterrent itself, but if they break in and set the system off, they're gonna get a picture of themselves and I'll be able to retrieve that and give that to the police. It gives me a higher level of sense of, “Hey, if someone ever did break in, we're gonna catch them.”

    Going with Link Interactive was easier. When I called and asked questions, the experience was what everybody said it would be. There wasn’t a whole bunch of hooplas, promising the world and not delivering. It was straight up and the guy I talked to was fantastic. He was super friendly and very understanding. I asked about 7,000 questions and he never seemed to get impatient. Speaking with him helped me figure exactly what I needed and didn’t need.

    Installing the system was easy too. Although some people would have a little bit of a hard time with some of the instructions, I hadn't really needed a whole lot of help until now. I've noticed now the high and low of the panel doesn't show. But that aside, the equipment has been fine so far and I like it. Most of the stuff, like the sensors, are similar to everything else. But I like the panel a lot more than some of the others' because you don't have to necessarily cut a hole in your wall. That was a bonus.

    I also like the features, especially having the thermostat and the door lock keys that you can control to make sure things are as they should be when you're not at home. And the app works really well. The smartphone features are simple and cut-and-dried. It's easy enough for my techie kids. We had looked into ADT and they wanted to offer key panels. But my children can't figure out how to use a keypad to get in my garage. They need a touch screen. So with the features of the Link Interactive system, it works really well. Plus my kids can use their phone, which is 10 times better because they really know how to use that very well.

    The cost is also a good match for the quality of the system. I wish there were a few more smart home options though. There was also only one camera for outdoors and I didn’t care for that one so I would like to see more variety, at least two or three to choose from. Nonetheless, I feel better about leaving the kids at home now. They're not little by any means but they don't really remember to lock the door or check the garage. But now, I can check it from my phone and it gives me more peace of mind that they're locking up when I'm not there. We had Vivint for a couple of days and in that time, they lost all my trust. The people were terrible and the equipment was not functioning. In comparison, I would tell anybody to go with Link Interactive over Vivint or ADT in a heartbeat.

In a customer service-based industry, that's what they should do.

    They either talked through on the phone with me for the installation of every unit and getting it set up, or they emailed me very detailed information so that I could try to walk through it my own. And once I knew how to do it, it was very easy. The quality of their equipment is great and it's a vast improvement over ADT. Also, their cost is perfect and worth it. And I was very specific about what I wanted, and they gave it to me. I've already recommended Link Interactive to other people since it allows cell-based, and I can modify it later.

When the lady was setting up the camera outside for my side doorbell, I told her that maybe one of the problems why it was not connecting was because the battery was completely dead. I told her to give me 15 minutes to do it. While I was trying to figure it out, she already sent the order out. Then I sent back the same equipment, the same time I got it about a week later because it takes time to get to the store to return it. However, I didn’t get a receipt and I know now that the next time I am returning anything especially to Link Interactive, I'm gonna make sure I get a receipt direct and say, "Hey, this is the confirmation number," and send it right back to them.

    The first customer representative hung up on me when I told her that I already returned the equipment they knew and she saw it in their system that the equipment was returned and she just wanna hang up on me for no reason which I thought was really rude. But the second representative was able to resolve the issue. The service when the alarm goes off and the matching part is wonderful and I recommend it.

    Setting Link Interactive's system up was easier than I thought. They came with our smart home and so it ties up better with our system as compared to other systems. The box sat there for two weeks and I didn't touch it because it looked intimidating, but once I called them and started setting up, it wasn’t bad. There were some extra pieces in the box that I didn’t understand that I paid for, but they informed me that I didn’t need them. Then, we've had a little issue because I couldn’t get one of the sensors to work so they got me back on track from the beginning until we got it all set up, tested out the system and made sure everything worked okay. I was able to add a video camera to my package but we are thinking of sending it back because I can't hear anything on it, which I didn't like.

    But overall, the system works very well and I like it. In the day it tells me when somebody has gone out the door or somebody’s at the door. It also keeps me aware of kids coming in and out at night when we go to sleep. I feel better knowing that the system will go off. However, one day, I didn't realize it was so sensitive and the back door went off. They responded to it quickly and they were able to make sure I was okay and get everything back on track.

    The smartphone feature is also very helpful. You can lock the door from there. One weekend we traveled and our neighbor walked our dog. It was nice to be able to set the alarm when she was done and turn it off before she went in. I had to control that from my phone. Also, there are so many things that you can control from the app. Link Interactive is a great way to go. It matches all the other security systems that are out there price-wise. I've had a good experience with them. It's been a smooth process and we've never had to call. That’s exactly what I needed, so it's convenient.

    We needed a home security system and I got Link Interactive. The sales representatives were very good. I used to have a totally different system and during the installation for Link, we were like, "How do you turn off this? And how do you turn off that?" The features offered by the system are fine but they need to really improve their set up manual.

    When I needed a home security system I did some investigating and I was looking at the lowest cost to have it on hand at that time, which was Link Interactive's. But I ended up returning the system because the monthly fee was just too high. The features weren't bad but I never got the camera to work. And when I called nobody ever called me back just to walk me through the camera.

    I used to have a security system in my previous house and after moving into this new house, I decided I should continue to use a security system. And going with Link Interactive was cheaper and more flexible. I asked for a quote online and a representative sent me an email through which I preferred to communicate with because I don't have access to my mobile phone during work time. We communicated most times through the email and it was pretty smooth for me. They did a pretty good job answering a customer's questions through email.

    I did a self-installation and it was pretty easy. I have the standard package with door and motion sensors which are all I need. And the installation instructions is overall pretty good. But on their advertisement, the controller can be hung on the wall but if you do want to hang the controller on the wall, you have to do some DIY stuff and this will damage the wiring because once you do the DIY stuff, their wirings cannot be valid anymore. Also, their customer service is not available on Sunday which could be an issue for some customers. Other than those, I'm pretty satisfied with my purchase. The quality of the equipment is good. I use the smart phone features to turn on and turn off the alarm system. It's the most important thing I need to use on a daily basis. And sometimes, I might check their sensor history because I want to make sure that no one enters my home when I'm away.

    There were some local issues here with people breaking in and a friend of mine recently purchased Link Interactive and put it in his house. Then I called Link and the salesperson hooked me up. We decided what we needed to do to the house based on the number of windows and doors and figured out the system. They sent me the hardware and we installed and tested it. The installation was very simple since a friend had an experience. But we had a sensor and two batteries that were bad and the actual garage tip up sensor was not working properly. They replaced that hardware and sent it to me right away, and we installed it. It’s simple.

    The smart features of the Link system are excellent. It makes it a lot easier, simplified and I see what’s armed or what’s not. I also like the notifications feature. I now have more comfort in terms of leaving the house and knowing that I got real-time access to issues at the house. Overall, my experience with Link Interactive was good.

    I tried to look for a home security system to use it with my house and the thermostat. Link Interactive was the only one that I talked to and their people were nice, good, and taught me everything. They worked with me. However, I never used their system because my thermostat was linked to another company and I didn't know that I couldn't use it with them. I could never use it anyway so I returned my equipment. But I didn't get any payment for the equipment even though I paid it full.

    There were concerns in my neighborhood that prompted some action. I researched online and tried to pick a security provider that seemed reliable and cost-effective. The sales guy from Link Interactive was knowledgeable and helpful. The only criticism I had with him was that part of the instructions where I had to send an activation email. We had a false alarm and I never got notified so I inquired about it. I got a response from the customer service and they told me they never got my activation request. I told them that I sent it and so far they've been responsive to my request. Currently, the security system is working fine and it's being alerted if something's going on.

    I had a system with ADT and they kept raising my price every year. I knew I wouldn't get anything more from them, so I looked around and ended up deciding on Link Interactive. I bought two external cameras, glass break sensors and motion detectors. And the little home base unit is all touchscreen colors and easy to navigate. They had good equipment at a reasonable and cheaper price. It's a lot more modern stuff than I had with ADT. Plus, their reps were knowledgeable and good at explaining how the system worked.

    I used a lot of my own sensors that I already had. I talked to a lady there one day and gave her all the ID numbers of the sensors. And she had them entered into their system for me. I was also given instructions on how to activate the doorbell camera and the other external camera I had. It was all self-explanatory and the system is easy to use. I'm satisfied with Link Interactive. And I have told somebody to use them.

    My wife did a bunch of research on the internet about purchasing a home security system. It is our second time to get a system and we both spent a lot of time mauling it over and deciding whether or not we were gonna try to do it ourselves or hire a professional that can do it. Our first system was a wired one. We hired somebody to come in and we spent a lot more. They put a panel on our closet and chased wires around in our attic. But Link Interactive's website was excellent and videos are available either through their website or on YouTube to help with the installation and figure out how to make things work. I was able to figure it out and I'm not a super smart guy when it comes to the internet, so I like it a lot.

    My wife was the one who did a lot of the pre-work and interacted with their sales team. She was very happy with their team, with the functionality and the support on the website so we paid a little bit more. The monthly cost is fairly expensive and we spent 500 bucks on all the parts and pieces. When I installed the system, the directions that came with it were very easy. I'm fairly technically savvy when it comes to working with my hands and hang pictures. I work in the construction industry, but I'm a manager so I'm not afraid to dive in and try things. I was fully installed on a night and the only thing that was challenging about it was the stickers that hold some of the sensors on. I gotta go figure out where to find some more of that double-stick tape. And there are some tricks that they could put on there that might help people figure this out.

    A lot of times with our windows, if I put them a little bit too close to each other when I go to shut the window, especially if we have a heavy glass door, it’ll pop that thing right off. Then if I put it in the wrong spot a little too close and my kid shuts it a little too hard then it makes contact with the frame and breaks it off. So, a little bit of heads up on that maybe on the website or on the instructions would have been helpful.

    Also when the thing showed up, if I have animals in the house, I'm supposed to point it a little bit more up or down. When I walked past a sensor and I thought it would set it off, it didn’t register so there's something going on there that I haven't been able to figure out. But so far all of the perimeter locks and everything seemed to function very well and it gives us peace of mind. Also, I keep my phone next to my bed if we forget to set the alarm and just one touch on my phone and say arm away or arm stay. It's just hitting it and I don’t have to get up and go to the panel. Link Interactive is very user-friendly.

    So far, everything is going very well and we're happy with the panel including how it works. The Z-wave technology is very handy also. And we're thinking about having a camera and it will be nice if that camera system interfaced with the security system we have. We have one in our house that was there when we moved in but that’s 10 years old so it's a separate DVR and I don’t think it’ll work together. Overall, we're very happy with the decision we made. There is some night time burglary in the neighborhood and we feel more secure knowing that at night, we can lock the house down and that the alarm on the panel will wake us up if something happens.

    There has been an increase of break-ins in the neighborhood and I wanted to have some monitoring at my home when I'm not in the home, for burglary primarily, so I chose to purchase a home security system. I researched about five or six systems and I found that Link Interactive had the best value and also the best technology for the monitoring sensors that were available. The person who did the sales for me was excellent and was responsive by email and phone. He responded to phone calls when I called, got back to me quickly, and answered questions that I had about how the devices work, as well as the cost, how to place the order, and contracts. Basically, he was able to provide me with everything I needed quickly and he was very good.

    After that, I had a couple of interactions with him because of some problems with the system. It wasn't syncing properly with alarm.com, so some of the data that I've entered with the local device wasn't going after the web and I wasn't able to access it remotely. It was giving me false reports of doors opening and closing. It wasn't getting the accurate sensor information or which sensor was activated because the alarm wasn't feeding the data properly. I had to make a few phone calls to follow up on that and send it through email messages. I got a very good response quickly from customer service. They corrected the problem and said that there was a problem with the syncing in the alarm versus Link. So, I didn't have to do anything about it and that was very positive.

    The third interaction I had was also with the sales rep initially because there had been some problems with shipping. I had asked for a specific count of sensors and I received several additional sensors I didn't need, so I wrote to him and I asked him what to do and he sent me a label to return them. And then oddly, a couple of days later, I got another shipment, an additional sensor, that I hadn't asked for. I told him I needed to return this as well, so he got me a second label and I shipped both of them back.

    The only downside or the only criticism I had of that was that I didn't receive a refund promptly. It took several weeks before anything happened. I had to write to him and ask him what was going on with the refund and he responded quickly. He said he spoke to someone in that department and the refund was going to be processed the next day. I saw the refund a few days later on my credit card, but I had to remind him of that. Apparently, the department that was processing it didn't take care of it as promised. He corrected it but that required several communications from me to prompt him to follow through on the last step, which was the refund. It was a minor complaint but it definitely could have been handled more efficiently.

    After I had installed the data, I had named all the sensors on the panel. Apparently, those names were not going up to the alarm.com system when the alarm goes off to my phone and also to the human monitors. I was getting, "Zone 3 is open. Zone 4 is open,” on my phone. I got a phone call from the monitor saying, "We had a zone 3 open alert.” I wondered what was that because I wasn't at home. I armed the systems and a windstorm blew through my neighborhood and blew a window open just by the wind. A tree crashed in front of the house and it set off a glass break detector on the inside of the house which was rather surprising. The alarm went off and I wasn't that familiar with the system. I saw the alarm activated two different zones that sounded not like a false alarm to me but I couldn't tell what they were.

    The person on the phone couldn't help me because it said, "Zone three, zone four". I said that wasn’t what I put into the system. I had just turned it on two hours ago and I was 45 minutes’ drive away from the house. He was asking me if I could go to the hall and I said that I was in the middle of dinner. It was very stressful. When I got back, I wrote a long email to customer service. They looked into it and they said that what I put into the sensor naming didn't block the alarm, so the alarm was communicating some generic zone stuff to the monitor. They fixed that. It was a syncing issue between the device and alarm, but it was very frustrating and upsetting to me that the first time I turned it on, I got a false alarm and I couldn't correct it.

    The police had been called to the house and they were gonna give me a fine because it was a false alarm. I didn't have the alarm registration on file. There was a permit needed that I had to sign to Link and when I paid for my permit, I was given a certificate but there was no information on the certificate. Link told me afterward that the police couldn't come out to the house right away because I didn't have a permit on file and I told him I paid for it and I emailed it to them. They said that the receipt number for the permit was actually my permit number. I asked how I would have known that and he said they were sorry and that it's a Los Angeles issue they didn't know. It wasn't Link's fault but was LA City's. But Link wasn't able to correct it in time before the police came out and they threatened to fine me that. And even though I paid for it the day before, I didn't have it on file.

    It was a miscommunication that had occurred after I installed it, during the time that the alarm went off and break down and transferring communication to different parties. There was a systemic problem between Link alone, the permit, and the monitoring people that created a lot of unnecessary stress for me that first night. I documented it and emailed it to the company and they were very responsive. They took care of it, but it took several days to sort it all out.

    The installation process of the system was straightforward and clear. I had to call a couple of times because the sensors were not being picked off by the panel. And over the phone, someone walked me through taking the battery out and putting the battery back in. That re-established a connection between the sensor and the panel, although that wasn't clear to me in the instructions. The instruction basically said they don't show up automatically and two of the sensors didn't show up and I thought they might be defective. It turned out they weren't defective. There were some problems with the signal not linking up and the only way to re-establish the signal was to remove the battery. All in all, they were able to take care of it so I don't fault them for that. They did a good job in walking me through it.

    The other issue I had was the door/window sensor that was re-assessed. I had to drill into the door frames in order to create a hole for them. I found that process was quite difficult. It required a lot of complex tools including an auger and very unusual large drill bit, a level, and several different depth-finding tools. It was a complicated process. I would probably have to hire a professional to install something like that if I didn't have access to those tools and had professional advice from a carpenter. That was a really far more complex installation than a do-it-yourself person would be expected to know how to do it. Drilling it, ¾-inch diameter, 2.5-inch depth round hole in solid wood without any other type of tools and doing it properly was unreasonable. I would not have ordered them if I had known. It took me about six to eight hours to do that for four doors.

    Since that first disaster and all those problems that were corrected because of it, the system has worked flawlessly. There has been no false alarms and no failures to connect. The only other issue I'm having right now is I am finding that when I try to access the video feeds through either the website or my phone connecting to the alarm.com website, the video feeds tend to shut down after five or six seconds. And if I try to click “live feed”, and then once they stop, there's no way for me to restart the feed for two or three minutes. I can't click “play” again and get the video feeds to restart. It's almost like there's a lockout.

    I have three cameras and if one of the cameras stops, I can’t restart that camera for a minute or two. I can only look at the other camera. I find that to be a consistent problem and it has been ever since I started the system. It's something to do with alarm.com speed. It’s disappointing because I am paying for that access. It's $10 a month to have that video feed and I'm getting poor service. The service for the video portion of my contract is not being fulfilled based on what I was told.

    The quality in relation to the cost is fair. There are systems that are cheaper but the quality is probably not quite there. Link Interactive’s systems are more expensive but other companies aren’t offering anything more than somebody had to come in and install it as opposed to do-it-yourself. It's not worth paying more for two or three years from now. I've compared prices for different systems of what's offered and I found that even though this isn't the cheapest plan, it probably is overall the best value in terms of price for what I received, so I'm happy with it in terms of value.

I didn’t know it was built-in and that really needs to be improved on. If only it would go a few more feet than what it's built into the system. I would need someone to call me back to see how I could make it to where it would cover a few more feet instead of just one room. But other than that it's a good system. I sleep better at night.

Based on my internet research, Link Interactive ranked towards near the top. I didn’t like what the top one said and the top two had things that I didn’t like.

But the people at Link have been able to walk me through it. I'm still having some issues but they're just some things that we probably have to fine tune.

    I got to customize my package. Link has a base package that has a limited number of contacts and I was able to increase the contacts and add motion sensors and go from there. And each time I added something, it cost more money. I'm blind and I'm having some problems with some of the alarm.com notifications being transferable to my iPhone technology such as the SkyBell. I'm having trouble whenever I answer the SkyBell from my iPhone because I can't see the little dot on the phone and I can't hit the little answer button. But now, I've got the Sky phone hooked up.

    I like the idea of the Link Interactive smart phone features but I'm having some problems with the features that the smart phone has for people who are blind. I'm not sure whether or not I can use the smart phone features or Link Interactive through alarm.com. Also, I'm not sure if the smart phone "reads" what alarm.com has on its website when I go to it. Link has got to tell their website to let these programs read it because if they don't tell the website to let the program read it, they won't read it.

    I've had another home security system before and Link Interactive is more latest in technology. It has the flexibility to add additional home automation on your own. The reps were very professional and they answered my questions. During set up, I had some issues where I couldn't really test the glass door detector and the motion detector went out for a night without reason for it to go off. The installers tried making sounds and stuff for glass door break but it didn't really trigger. So, I don't know whether it works or not. Also, the motion detector range is limited. You can actually duck underneath it and go across. But at least I had somebody in the call to help me and walk me through setting it up. And the reps spent time looking into the issues on the motion detector camera and the set up questions I had.

    I got the garage door opener, but it does not work with a new Genie garage door opener. So, I was not able to set that up which is a problem. Also, I want to put security cameras outside my house, but I don't want to drill because they would break. It's a real issue. And if I want to install a security camera, my options are limited because the cameras and the equipment available is very limited. I can't have battery-powered cameras which are available with other companies.

    I'm paying $40 a month and I've yet to add security cameras to it, which allows me to record and watch. But I really cannot go with the cameras available from them. I may have to drop my package if I can't do videos and I'll have to pay somebody else to do the videos. It may be a problem there. But overall, the cost is fine. It's a reasonable price and the quality of the system I have is good including the IQ panel 2. When you walk in, the IQ panel disarms the system because it's Bluetooth compatible. And I use Geofencing so it notifies me in case I forget to arm the system.

    I was looking for a cost-effective way to implement security in my home and I actually had an existing security system in the house when I bought it. The representatives from Link Interactive have been excellent. I did the installation of the security system myself. The quality of the features that I had in my system were comparable to what other security companies were providing. When the Link guys had to alert me for possible emergency situations, their response time in those incidents was very quick. Link's system is a very cost-effective way for homeowners that know how to DIY and would definitely recommend them.

    I wanted to break away from my other provider. I switched to Link Interactive and Leland, the rep I talked to, was great. But their security system is clunky in some ways compared to the previous one I had. I found that I shouldn’t arm the Away unless I’m already out of the house with the doors closed, otherwise, the system goes bonkers. Also, I’m not too pleased with the motion detector and I don’t know if the police are being called if there’s an alarm. I had an alarm go off while I was away from the house and by the time I got to the house, I didn’t see anything and I don’t know if the police were notified or not, or if they came or not. I haven’t seen a bill.

    Then, I had some leftover two-sided tape on the display panel so I could stick it onto my computer and when I'd press the button, it wouldn't fall off the counter. Link Interactive might want to consider putting something on the bottom that has a little grip to it so that when it sits on a counter, a person can touch the panel without knocking it over. Otherwise, they just have to stick it against the wall and I didn’t want to do that. I have an open kitchen, so I put it right there on the counter. Other than that, the equipment doesn’t burn through batteries frequently and the smartphone works pretty fine.

    I'm on a busy street and I thought that getting a security system was a good idea. I also wanted a lower homeowner’s insurance. They were all very positive at Link. We talked through how many windows and doors and what I was looking for in a security system. I told them that I was completely new to this and the guy was very informative about what was available. I wanted a very simple system and that was what I got. The whole thing is completely installed and it’s doing exactly what I need it to do. The garage door was one of my main wants as far as wanting to be secured and that’s the best feature. There's no reason I wouldn’t recommend Link.

    I had gotten a completely customized home security system from Link Interactive. They were offered by Costco and were very affordable. They gave me a choice of the control module and I built from there. There were lots of options to go with to add to your system. Anytime I've had any technical questions, they've been helpful. Plus they have a fast response time and they are effective. They randomly call me first to see if I needed any help or to find out how everything's operating. And then any alarm issues have been fast and effective. Installing the system by myself was easy. And for the most part, I was able to do it without any help. I've been running it for years without any problems. With it I feel better about the security.

    We were going to a new area and we looked up the crime figures there, and with the discount we would get from our homeowner’s insurance we figured that to be safe we might as well take over the security system of the person from whom we were buying the house. When I was growing up, my parents had a home security system. Every time that I talked with somebody at Link Interactive, the customer service was great. Everybody seemed to be knowledgeable and answered my questions.

    The only issue I had was that the sales reps kept saying that there was a camera that was part of the system, but I couldn’t find it at the house. Their system was saying that, but they couldn’t tell me where it was. But they've been very nice and they tried to follow up. Eventually, I got in touch with the house seller who told me that they had a camera at one point but they had turned it in because they didn’t like it. That was the only frustrating thing. But other than that, everything else was fine, including setting up the payment.

    After I found out about the camera, Link was doing video monitoring as part of the price. They didn’t remove that and I didn’t have any issues with that, so that was good and I was happy with that part. Everything in the system seemed good and new. Link has one feature where I can set up the system to have a schedule, so I can have the system set automatically at night and it would be undone in the morning, but that feature would cost extra money. I would like to have that feature at my current rate and not have to put in an extra amount. Anyway, we have an app so we can unlock the system or set it when we’re away. So, when we had forgotten about setting the system or when we had set it but forgot that we had done so, we could get to the system and it was easy to cancel.

    I had ADT and their prices were skyrocketing. I said I'm gonna go with a different company and they said that they were sorry I felt that way. And then once I went with a different company, they said they wanted me back and they were going to give me a really good rate. However, it was too late by that point. I researched between Link and some other ones. For the features that Link offered and their price, it was the best price for the value.

    Link Interactive's customer service was good. I installed the system myself and it was difficult at first with one aspect of the garage, but then they sent me out an additional part which made it easy to detect the sensor. Also, I had some issues with sound and technical stuff where I was a little bit nervous about using it and then they helped me out and took care of it. However, I had some difficulty with the doors that I have because I have a 1940s craftsman house. The doors were pushed in and they weren't flush. I had to take out the little metal magnetic part of the sensor and superglue that in so it reached the sensor. There were no instructions to do that and that was a little difficult. Other than that, the features of the system are good and I like that I can use it with my smartphone. I arm and disarm the system with my smartphone and it works well. I also like that I don’t have to put in the code to lock the system. The quality of the equipment is good and they're stable.

    I went with Link Interactive for their knowledge in the area, flexibility with their packaging and equipment, and the availability of the equipment that they’ve chosen. I've had them for two months and I'm enjoying it so far. The installation experience went well for me but I’m probably a little more technically inclined than most people so I didn’t have any problems. I've called tech support several times to be able to install new devices or ask about warning alarms. They've not known the answer right off to that all the time but they've researched it and gotten back with me within a day. I was looking for one item that was not carried by them which was an outdoor motion sensor that’s specific to other vendors. But the quality was good for what it was.

    I had a plan with the gentleman that was the sales rep and after some technical research, it was determined that the plan that we had would not work. And so Link Interactive re-contacted me and worked out a deal of different equipment options that would still complete what I needed, but they gave me some price discounts to be able to still retain my service along with everything that I needed. My install was complicated, and they not only worked with me and made it happen, but when it couldn’t happen, they came back with different options and one of them was very generous, not just with the equipment but with the continued support. Plus their response time as far as the false alarms that I've had has been expected.

    This is my first home and I wanted to find a home security system that had access to my cell phone but is still covered and not overpriced and I chose Link Interactive over ADT, which is totally high. Also, I've read a couple of articles where a lot of people were recommending Link Interactive as their number one option for a home security. So far, everyone has been super helpful. I'm not a hands-on techie person, but everyone just seemed pleasant when I spoke with them and walked me through everything. And even from the sales experience, it wasn’t pushy or forcing me to make a decision, which if I've wanted another one, it's one of the things I’d look for when making a decision.

    The installation was simple. I do have it on the counter right now. I wanted to get it on the wall, so that's the only thing that's different. I did have to call since the instructions were a bit unclear, but it was easy once they walked me through it. I customized my package with all windows, all doors and one monitor that was in a central location of the home. When I had other people come out and give me estimates, I'd pick up on what they recommended, and then I called and gave them the recommendations of what I felt was useful for me. Eventually, I wanted to do the video and the doorbell at my front door too. It has a little window then, it doesn’t have a peephole.

    I love the quality of my security equipment. It's high-tech. I'm used to a touchscreen and I have an iPhone, so I like that I am able to do everything on my iPhone. I like that it's updated with technology now and I like the design a bit more than the older systems. I use the smartphone feature more than I use the actual pad. I don't have to worry that I've set it. Also, I live alone and it gives me peace of mind and comfort knowing that if I did set it off and forget to set it on, I still have access to do it.

    Link Interactive's cost is one of the cheapest that I've seen and you're getting the same thing. And, the service that you're being provided is just as good, if not better. Their prices are a bit more reasonable and within the budget, which is always a good thing. If I could save money anywhere, I'd do it as long as the service is still good. I have a brand new home, so Link Interactive is just gonna do for me. I feel that I'm really comfortable.

    I’ve been looking at a home security system for a while for my new home. I did my research and Link was well-rated and I wanted it for the extra security. I called someone on the phone to have him set me up an estimate. I reviewed all that and then told him when I was ready, I would follow up. And then we cut a deal in February, and everything went smoothly. I’ve had to call them once to edit a few things and I'm gonna have to call them again when I get some more free time to edit a few more settings on the system. But overall, it’s been good.

    Installing the system was easy. I didn’t want my unit to be on the table and I wanted to mount mine to the wall. So fishing the wire was a little more difficult considering I’ve never done it before, but once I figured it out and got everything going, it worked okay. The smartphone feature is great and I love it. Right now, the touch panel doesn’t have the weather on it, but I’m trying to figure that out. And also, it would have been nice to know more descriptions on the delay entry and the delay exit when I first got the system. So when I’d open the door, I didn’t know that it didn’t have a delay exit on it. Every time I’d open the doors, the alarm would blow my ears out but we got that taken care of. Link is good but it needs a little bit of improvement. But overall, I'm happy and for the price, I’m satisfied with what I got.

We really like the safe plate, which is another thing that pulled us to Link. The touchscreen shows pictures when it’s not in use so it looks like a rotating photo frame.

    I've always had a home security system and that’s something that I do. It makes me feel comfortable. I went with Link Interactive to try something different from ADT. The rep was fine and good with the system, but it wasn’t as easy to set up as Link said. They said that I had to set it up, but they didn’t go into detail with the things that I had to do and the time it would take me to do them. To install the system, I had to set up all the sensors on the doors, the motion detector, and the camera. They said it would take 20 minutes, but it took a lot more time than that. It would take 20 minutes for a serviceman, but two hours for somebody who is not an installer.

    The quality of our equipment is fair. The motion detector doesn’t have a light on and I don’t know if it's working or not. It just shows us that it's capturing anything coming in or out. Also, one motion detector is not good enough for a house, but that was all they gave us and they wanted us to pay for the rest. I'm trying to have advice on the sensors. The one camera doesn’t have wires. The system is all connected, so I can't just set the security device the way I want and I have to set it in a special place. So, there were some issues and some gaps in the system.

    I was able to customize the features of my system to a certain extent. But it was after I got the service package to see what it entailed that I found the issues with the hardware. We can't protect our home with the basics that they gave us, which are not enough and don't give us everything we need to protect our home 100%, unless we're in an apartment. I was not covering my home with the number of devices that they gave us or the hardware that they sent over, and we have to spend more cash to buy additional devices to fully secure our home. To protect our home, Link Interactive could have offered a basic package with at least two motion detectors, sensors for all the doors, and two cameras.

    I had a good experience with Link Interactive. I'd recommend the system to people. We had a family break and since there have been some burglars in the neighborhood, I got some cameras because I don't want them to get something in the house. Prior to that, I was doing research online and their hardware linked up things like I can add a Z Wireless to it. And it was just an all in one package deal. I set up a call online and they gave me a callback and went through with sales.

    The sales agents were good. They directed me to the website and we went through every option that there was out there and different payment options and setting about the system. And while everything was smooth, the only thing I didn't like was the door sensors were a little cheap. I can't use the double-sided tape cause it will fall off. And when I screw them in, the back plate that I screwed it to is plastic. The second I put in a pressure against it, it caused it to bow. Then the other section doesn't want to snap in place correctly. I have to be careful otherwise the whole front will fall right off when I slam the door. It seemed like a flawed design.

    Other than that, everything went smoothly. However, when they told me that they were compatible with all these different things, I looked up a couple of them and it seems like they limit it only to specific vendors. They told me I can access Z Wireless but it only connects to specific devices. Maybe it was communication and that's a problem. But still, the functionality of the system was great. They're a little higher rated per monthly cost but they're supposed to be faster and that's what I was paying for. Besides, they would be able to monitor everything. Since having a system from Link Interactive, when we go out of town I allow my girlfriend or friends to post stuff on Facebook or social media even though I don't do it. I would never allow that before. I don't want anybody knowing I was out of town.

The dealings I had with their reps were mostly very good except for two. The last time I called, I kept getting one ring and then it would click off. I suspect that somebody just kept hanging up on me because it happened eight times in a row. The other thing was that I had problems setting up with alarm.com. I didn’t receive the welcome letter or the temporary code. When I did, it came as 4 stars instead of a code so I could not enter it. But the fellow on the help end helped me and did whatever he needed to do to fix that.

    When I first installed the system, I had my boyfriend help me with it and he was jumping the gun all over the place so it was not anybody else’s fault but his. He was taking the sensors right out of the box without looking at the number, where they went and taking them out everywhere. So far, the features are good and the quality of the system is mostly okay. The only thing was, I had one sensor fall off and it should be stuck on a little better. In terms of the cost in relation to the quality, it is of market value or a little less.

We don’t need a separate account for each system. Also, we're very happy with the cost of the system.

    I wanted a home security system for added security. I talked to three people from Link and they were knowledgeable about the equipment. The overall product review of Link also looked a lot better than all the other security companies. Link is my first security system. It has a great quality and I like the features in it but all the other stuff that goes along with it are a little expensive. I had to weigh on that. But the fact that it’s all linkable and the way the app works with the system was really good. Also, the display is nice and I really like the features on the panel. I did the installation and it was easy. I’ve been recommending Link to a couple of my friends. They have Vivint now so I’m trying to see if they’re actually thinking about coming over to Link in the future.

    I have always had a home security system, and I changed the company. Link Interactive took over the same system, and they are a little better. Their sales team was well spoken, and they were also very knowledgeable and educated on the product. The features offered in my system were good and while it was self-installation, I had to do some phone calls because of some technical difficulties. But, they worked through it.

    I was getting more concerned with someone breaking in and so I got Link's basic package with one additional motion sensor. It's a quality system and the quality of the equipment is better compared to ADT's. Also, Link Interactive has reasonable rates and I like the fact that I can install their system myself. I had ADT in a different house and that had a little better equipment and professional installation. On the other hand, Link is wireless and I installed it.

    The overall installation of the Link wireless system was fairly easy although I had a challenge when I tried to get the sensors around the doors because of the crown molding. If there hadn’t been crown molding there, it would have been very straightforward because I just put things on an angle. There were a few other companies that use the same equipment manufacturer and one was very pushy and was giving out incorrect information about Link. I caught them incorrectly giving that information twice to me, so I steered away from them. I'd tell my friends to look into Link Interactive.

    I'm not at home for most of the days so I need a home security system. I've dealt with the reps a couple of times and it was fine. But they have a limited time, not 24 hours a day, seven days a week, so I have to call in during business hours. The system is a self-install. I had to read up all the instructions and then I was able to follow. It wasn't too difficult. After the technicians explained and then answered my questions, everything went fine. The cost after I got the discount was around $100. The sensor is affordable and I hope it can be cheaper. I just ordered the motion sensors, the contact sensors. But I didn't order the camera as the price wasn't what I expected. I know some other systems are coming out with their competitive price and then without any monthly fee. So, I may consider that after my contract with Link Interactive expires.

    Link Interactive has the technology that won't cost you that much to get. And you pay only one time so somehow it may be a lot cheaper. But the outcome may not be that great because you have the live operator 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and then some systems do not really have the live operation or certain surveillance to your house. So, that's a trade-off. Overall, Link Interactive's service is good. I'm still with Link Interactive on one property.

    Compared to other companies I've been talking to Link Interactive is a little inexpensive so I chose to get them. Also the most important part for me is that whatever goes in my house, they helped me out to put it in so if anything goes wrong in the future I know where and how find to troubleshoot and I'm a ready handyman. I love that whatever people put in my house, I should know how it works and how it's laid out.

    The sales was good and convincing. But tech support is something I was not completely satisfied because a lot of the stuff, I had to do it. I had to figure out pretty much everything so it was not a straight shot that when you talk to the installer, they say, "Hey, this cable goes here, this cable goes here. This is the way you're going to do it." It was not that easy. The guy had enough knowledge about their own system, how to program it and all but as long as the wiring is concerned I felt it was not a good a fixing.

    I was not very convinced with the wiring in my house even though the diagrams were sent to them. So I was not very impressed with the initial installation. Now as long as the configuration it was very smooth. The instruction was easy. The major thing I was looking for that it tells me which door is open and all, everything that which tells me, other than that alarm.com which they have provided. That's very handy.

    Another thing I like about Link Interactive is that, whatever the equipment I want to add they said, "We are there for you, I will help you out and there's no additional cost to it." That's one thing. Another good thing that they're telling me is they're giving me warranty on their product for three years so that's nice. I'm very satisfied. The quality of the equipment is good and the cost is reasonable. The worst part is there was no follow up, which is a good gesture from a company or from a customer service perspective. If you call the customer and say, "Hey, how are you doing? Anything that we can do?" I think it's additional points to satisfy the people. But I would tell people to definitely go for it.

When we installed the home security system, it was a little frustrating at some points but the customer service was super helpful and they made it easy to figure out. It is a great value for what we are paying for. The security system's quality is good and it's easy to use. It's also wireless which we really like.

    I wanted an alarm system to feel safer. Growing up we had one. I researched on the internet and found that Link Interactive was one of the more cost-effective ones and easy to install and I also had a cousin who used it. When I called they were friendly in the sales department and the rep gave me his personal email address so I followed up with some questions and he was quick to reply for the most part and helped me out.

    When I called to ask some questions and to book the order I wasn’t at home and it took me a while to kind of try and see how many windows I had but he was patient with me. I felt like he gave me a good deal. I'm a pretty tough negotiator. I felt like they were fair. I ended up purchasing a motion detector that I felt like after I discussed it with my boyfriend, we decided we didn’t want. It was easy to send that back and I got a refund for that. My experience with the initial sales person and then the subsequent people after that was positive.

    Initially it was kind of overwhelming when I opened the box but once I started going about putting everything up, it was easy enough. I didn’t have any questions when I was installing it and they helped me around to test. The only thing that I did have a question was the different website so there's an alarm.com website. There was an actual site for the equipment and your billing and there's one for the actual monitoring. The difference between the two sites was initially a little bit confusing and they were like different log-ins for both so I think that could be a little clearer in the instructions but they were pretty quick to clarify for me.

    We use the smartphone features and it's easy to use. I've used it when I've forgotten to set the alarm or when I'm just too lazy to get up and use the panel. I'm happy with Link Interactive so far. It's only been a couple of months but we feel safer and my boyfriend works nights so I definitely have a feeling of safeness when he's not around that I'm protected. I would recommend it.

    The sales representatives at Link Interactive are very attentive, informative and they follow through. They also answered every question I had, even the silly ones. And they walked me through everything and made sure that I knew what was going on, and I knew how to work my system. I installed the system myself and it was very easy. While I did have some questions I just called in and they helped me so it went well. And while the features offered was high-tech for the cost, it takes forever to get the app to come up. It's because you have to put your thumbprint in and by that time, I'm already at the door, or out of my car. So, I found that it's easier just to use a key fob. However, since I live by myself I feel safer with Link Interactive. It's great.

    I decided to buy a home security system because people are breaking into houses in Southern California and they got me. I called Link Interactive to ask some questions. The guy I spoke to was good at what he did. I told him that I wasn't buying anything that night and he didn't push it, but he kept explaining things to me and I just went for it. The system was soft installed and the process of doing that was much easier than I thought. However their instructions are geared toward the tech-savvy people. It states that the person can go follow YouTube videos and go online and read things but when I explained that to my dad, he can't imagine it. An older man would just go with ADT and let them do it all and cut a check.

    But overall I like the features of the system and the quality of the equipment is fine. I might make a couple adjustments now that I have it and I use it regularly. However, I'm a little disappointed with the scanner. They mentioned that it's good up to 30 feet but it seems to be a bit inconsistent. But my experience with Link Interactive has been positive and I'm happy. There's only a couple adjustments I need to make and help get around to it.

    I wanted to get a home security system and I bought the Link Interactive system in February and had it installed at the very end of February. Their sales was mediocre. The person was fairly good and informative for the most part except either he was uninformed or misleading about a couple of the products. I had my list of things I would need to have for the security for the home and I had discussed the window security and things like that. He recommended I get a motion sensor for a couple of the rooms. I said I was concerned with that because I have a cat and a kitten that run around. He said that wasn’t a problem and that these things are rated not to go off for anything under 50 pounds, for instance an animal, and a cat is only eight ounces. So, I installed the motion sensors and sure enough, the cat set off the alarm non-stop.

    I had not just stuck the motion sensors on the wall but mounted them into the wall so that they were there securely because I didn’t want things falling off. I hard-mounted them and the cat set them off four days in a row. I called them back and said that this doesn't work at all. The person I spoke with said that it was a known thing with cats that run around a lot and that they'll set these things off all the time. I said that it was literally the opposite of what I was specifically told when I bought it. That was frustrating because I have some holes in my wall now that I have to go and patch up, as well as with all the hassles of calling back and telling them to turn off the alarm. The whole thing was disappointing and either the guy didn’t know or he intentionally misled me.

    The other thing was the cameras that I purchased were weird in that they're self-install cameras. They were external cameras that I bought but the wiring on the external cameras is not conducive to hardwiring them. They're external-mounted cameras and they have power cable. I got them to have plugs on them and the cabling with the wiring was thin. I ran it through the pool cable like we do when we wire stuff to the house and it pulled the sheathing right off and the whole thing popped right out and can't get it off like it wasn't something that should happen. I'm working with customer service now trying to rectify it because this thing's not designed to be routed through a house. I said that it's not designed for this because I do this all the time for wiring.

    They changed the housing on the indoor camera to make it weatherproof but left everything else intact. Everything else is for indoor wiring, not outdoor, so this stuff is really designed to go through walls. I called them up and asked if they can send me another one. They're still going to assess it and I'm going back and forth with them. I told them that the camera itself is not broken but the sheathing came off and the wiring popped out from the connector. The rep said that they would have to take a look at it before they can assess that they can give me a new one. I didn’t do anything unusual and didn’t beat on it or abuse it. I took it, wrapped it, put my pole on it and ran through my fish tape and it just held out. Hopefully, they'll be able to rectify that.

    The rest of the equipment is okay. The cameras and the motion devices were just false advertisement or lack of knowledge. I have one of those little IQ panels, the little touch sensitive panels, and I came home one night to arm the system and the IQ panel was black. It had no display on it whatsoever and it was a software bug and the whole system had locked up. So, I called up at 10:30 and 11:00 at night to get customer support on it. They had to walk me through it but I basically had to take the whole thing apart, disconnect the primary power and take the battery off of it to reset it and put it all back together. It was obviously a software bug and the system hardwired and maybe rebooted but I couldn't reboot it because I still had power supplied to it instead of battery back-up, and I had to take the battery back-up out.

    I definitely had some problems and I'm less happy than I was when I had the standard ADT system. But there are some nice things with Link Interactive. The access thing to the phone is cool, but the more I think about it now, the less I like it. I also bought the garage door opener with the sensor thing and there's a known bug that was emailed out a month ago that it does not correctly report back the status of the garage door. I noticed it and I go and check the garage doors. Sometimes they'll say it's open when it's not and sometimes they'll say it's closed when it's open. This is a known bug we're trying to work with. Chamberlain fixed it but I haven't heard any news about being fixed or remedied.

    So periodically, I go and check it and I know that this thing may not necessarily reflect the actual status of the garage door. I go in the alarm.com app and I tell them to help me make sure that things get closed up and locked up because my wife leaves after I do in the morning. She sees that it's open and I hit the button to say “close it” and then I instantly see it's closed. And a couple of times it says it's closed but when I go downstairs, it's actually open, so I'm not terribly pleased.

    The customer service folks have been decent but the salespeople can be misleading and the product quality is definitely questionable. I would tell others that if they want to go with Link Interactive they can be reasonable but don’t buy a lot of the accessories and think very basic. Dpn't buy anything else because the stuff's not that great.

    My home security system was very antiquated so I needed to get something with cameras and some automation. I liked the way that Link Interactive was presented and the fact that I'm an engineer so I wanted to do it myself. I did a little research on the internet and saw the way Link have it set up and it was very attractive. I've priced quite a few home security systems and compared to what I’ve seen, Link Interactive was pretty comparable. It is pricey but so is everywhere else. Their customer service reps were very attentive every time I called. They emailed me information on how to do stuff. When I was doing and working on the quote, they didn't call and bug all the time. I told them to call me back at a certain time and they did. They were dead on.

    I set up a lot of networks and I had a good experience in getting the system installed. There was not a lot of detail on the specifics though and that should be pretty standard. There were a lot of steps missing. For example, whenever I have to put the codes of the living room, I want the words to say "living room motion." But I don't spell out "living room," I gotta put a specific code and that wasn't on the website. I had to call and get that sheet emailed to me. Also, I set the perimeter motion sensor the wrong way so every time I opened the door and got in the alarm went off. It would have been nice if there were little notes on how to set up the motion sensor versus a window contact. But I love the features offered in my system and I can keep adding to the basic package. I'll definitely recommend Link Interactive.

They told us the equipment that we needed and equipment that we really didn’t need. They were informative and we were able to make an informed decision about what we did get. The installation was easy enough to do because nothing's hardwired.

Aesthetically it looks a little bit better and it seems to function a little faster and has a little better quality. The installation process was super easy and basic. All the instructions in there were well-written out. The equipment is great and I love it. All the features that are on there that we were looking for work great.
