I called Moni today to cancel my service because of a private family matter. I don't like that they ask you why you want to cancel. The first person asked if it was because of a move and I stated no, that I just wanted to cancel my service. They transferred me to another person who asked why I wanted to cancel, I told them it was a private matter and they proceeded to offer me stuff anyway. I told them that was not the purpose of the call, that I wanted to cancel. She stated that I would get an email with a link to directions on how to cancel, that I should get the email within 24 to 48 hours. This in and of itself is a red flag, why does it take 24 to 48 hours to receive an email from them? When I signed up for this ConsumerAffairs website I got the confirmation email in 5 seconds. But to cancel my account with this company takes 24 to 48 hours. That's crazy!
I will be waiting for the email and I will call again when I don't receive it. If you read reviews about Moni you will see that almost all bad reviews center around customers that try to cancel. My name is Yves **, I am sure you can find my account if this terrible company wants to follow up. People go through personal hardships and greedy companies like this one only worry about their bottom line. This is my good faith effort to cancel my service, but if they are greedy and all they want is money I will not hesitate to go to my bank and stop the payments from going through.
Here at MONI we understand that circumstances may change unexpectedly, which is why we always want to ensure that we exhaust all options before we lose a customer. However, we would never want to make the cancellation process difficult. I have located your account and will look into this matter more in depth to provide you with a resolution. I will contact you directly, once I have completed my research. - Theresa T.

Part of my experience with MONI is pretty good and part of it wasn't. MONI Security is not doing what my contract calls for. They’re supposed to send me an e-mail every day and they haven’t done it for well over a month. I used to get an email every day so I knew that everything was working and when it didn’t work I knew I was gonna get an e-mail to change the batteries in there. It was really helpful because that was the main part of my house.
When the battery went down, I got an e-mail about it. I called them and they said they would test it. Then someone called and asked me if I needed any help to change the battery. I thought they took care of that, but they said that they don't do that and they would send me another battery for $40. I also asked the technician what kind of battery it was and how to put it in. I went to Batteries Plus, got the battery for $15, put it in and got the system back up.
Moreover, I was having trouble because it was supposed to come down $10 every six months or three months, but it was down to $24 a month. They said I had to call in because it wasn't automatic, but I didn't do it so it went back up to $56 a month. Then I argued with them and got it down to $34 a month for two years. I also asked for an owner's manual three times in the last five years but I haven't got it yet. Overall, they're fine on the phone but nothing ever happens. I'm going to be moving in the next two months because I'm selling this house and I'm gonna close the account.
Clyde,
It is heart breaking to see that we would be losing a long term customer as yourself, due to an issue that we would be able to resolve. I would be more than happy to assist you with this, and ensure that you begin to receive the system notifications again. As far as the rate reduction, we have promotions that are available for the services that you receiving. I have located your account with us, and will contact you directly to discuss this matter further.

I was with ADT before and a salesman from Envision knocked on our door and went over the product. It was a great deal to have everything installed at no cost. But I didn't even know he used Monitronics. They're a third party and used MONI for their service in monitoring. I'm in the banking business and I've had customers tell me that they were still getting charged by MONI for their monthly service fee even though they cancelled. So that bothered me but I gave them a chance and right now, it's been okay. The payments are coming out when it's supposed to and for the amount it's supposed to. Also, I had no problem talking to the customer service team regarding billing to find out when my payment was going through and to change the date. It was a good service.
My previous condo had ADT so I've always had an alarm to have that security in. But ADT charge an arm and leg for products. Now, I have the doorbell camera, a smart garage where I can monitor and close the garage in my house and the app where I could set up and get notifications. And I like that. Envision hooked it up nice, made it affordable and I feel secure with that. It has been easy and quick, and at 50 bucks a month, one can't go wrong.
I would like to first thank you for making us aware of this issue. MONI takes all concerns very serious, and we are working diligently to address each and every complaint that we receive. However, it is nice to see that we have been able to live up to your expectations, as we take pride in ensuring our customers are satisfied. I appreciate you for being a valued customer with us, and look forward to securing your family for many years to come.

MONI was going through our whole neighborhood, installing everything in the other houses. Signing up with them was a simple process and their customer service team was very helpful. Their reps also answered all my questions. When I go out of town, I call and tell them and they make a note so all is well. However, changing the batteries is very hard to do. They need to train people at installation how to change them. I get emails all over the neighborhood when people don’t know how to do the batteries and I went through the same thing myself. But once we’ve all learned how to do that, it’s fine.
I am so ecstatic to know that this change has been so pleasant! In the future allow us to sweat the small stuff, and contact us when you need help replacing the batteries. We will be more than happy to walk you through the process or send a technician out to demonstrate.
Thank you,

MONI gave me a better price than what the other companies offered. Their guy worked with me and I was comfortable with anything that I was going to get. However, when I first called to get everything set up, I could never get a call back from the salesman but it all came out all right. I had a few glitches and each time I had a glitch they gave me free service for a month so it worked out. I'm very satisfied.
James,
We always want to stay competitive with other companies to ensure that MONI customers get the best prices for the same great quality service. I am sorry to hear that you did not receive a callback from the salesman; however, I am glad to see that the outcome was to your satisfaction.

I cannot accurately put into words how disappointing this company is. I got security on my house. The first and only time it went off, they called me 13 times, and called my mom (emergency contact) 5 times. It took them 20 minutes to get hold of me, yet they never sent anyone. I could have been dead, but they just kept calling to make sure it was really an emergency. I was out of town, but someone could have tried to break in... we'll never know! Now, I've been paying for 2 years for nothing. I moved and they won't cancel my contract. Ridiculous.
I would like to apologize if you feel we have fallen short of your expectations.

I am not sure whom is whom in my residential wireless alarm endeavor. LiveWatch, I believe provides the alarm hardware and alarm.com does the monitoring. Nevertheless, I purchased my alarm three years ago from LiveWatch.com and have been satisfied ever since. This does not mean I have not had issues though when the issues occur the resolve is just a phone call away.
LiveWatch customer service is beyond a doubt a service to emulate. From the moment they pick up the phone, you know the quality management style has trickled down to their frontline. Their well-informed technicians generally resolve any issues quickly, respectfully and above all work tirelessly to prove their interest in retaining you as a client.
In the three years I have had several issues, two of them hardware issues and the hardware was quickly replaced. The other issue was a programming issue and that took a few days to resolve but they did not give up. The products are top notch and though LiveWatch recommends changing the batteries once a year I have yet to replace any batteries in my 33-sensor system. Bottom-line, even being nitpicky I cannot think of anything negative to say about this company. Above all, the quality products, the awesome phone app has exceeded my expectations and I would recommend them to anyone.

My daughter had MONI security and she recommended it. The initial installation was great and now with the system, I can sleep a lot better although one time my alarm went offline during the night and I didn’t know it until morning. They had to reset it. Otherwise, I’ve been pleased with it so far. Another thing was they disarmed my mobile one time. They told me it was disarmed and when I went through the door it said “disarmed” but when I turned the door, it was unlocked.
I would like to first off welcome you to the MONI family! Anytime that you are having problems with the system give us a call immediately, so that we can resolve you issue as soon as possible. You safety is our #1 priority and we want to make sure that there is not a time that your home is not protected.

Since having MONI, I like that I felt more secure especially when I traveled with my job. But I was gonna try to get ahold of them and talk to them about my situation. They had raised my price to about $6 more a month and it's deducted every month out of my bank account. I didn't get anything other than when I looked at my statement, my price went up. I'm really disappointed because now that I've retired, I need all the money because my bills are gonna be high.

My husband signed a 7-year contract with MONI and we haven't had many issues with the service. However, the length of the contract limited us on what we could do and I wasn't happy about it. I've been wanting to do upgrades which were not affordable under what they gave us so we sucked it up. This might be our last year under the contract and I wanted to have more cameras. What we have is good, but not good enough. The quality is very poor. So my husband called MONI and told them we wanted to get out of the contract since we were with them for a long time. They offered to reduce our monthly rate and give us two free cameras. That was cool and we proceeded with that, but the cameras were of low quality since there is a delay in what I see and when it's happening, which could make a huge difference.
Also, I don't know how to record. We had a couple of incidents and I can't go back and look since none of that information was given to us. We are in law-enforcement and we do have things that criminals target. We've had some situations where even when we're home, people would approach us that would put us on guard. It could have been totally innocent or could have been a test to see how we would react. Both of our neighbors have been broken into several times. So we're just a little bit more weary and on guard than most families. When I see somebody approaching and I know I'm in trouble, by the time I go get something to protect myself, it might be too late because they'd already be a step or two ahead of me. So the delay is a little concerning.
Just last week, I was at home with a broken foot. I can't get around. Five minutes after my husband left for work, somebody tried to get in through our front door. By the time I was able to get out of my bed and hobble into the hallway, the person left. But I can't go back and look to see who it was. I can't give anything to law enforcement and that's no good. We need to be able to know how to do this and MONI could have left my husband the information. Now we have done other things to reinforce our house force but we have a big picture window. I have the alarm on even when I'm home. For the amount of time that we have been with MONI, what we were offered was nice but an upgrade in the camera or maybe in quantity would be really nice.
Tamara, Here at MONI we know that every moment matters, and I hate to see that you are not able to use your cameras to the fullest. I would be more than happy to have one of our certified technicians come out and show you how to use all of the features associated with the camera. I have your account information and will contact you to discuss this matter more in depth. -Ashley C.

I've had Monitronics for nearly 5 years and recently tried to cancel. Recently, motion sensors were set off (I still don't know why) when I was an hour away from my home. We asked for them to dispatch the police. 30 minutes later, we hadn't heard back. I called, waited a ridiculous amount of time on hold and then got connected to a rep named Ramon. I explained the situation and he asked "are you a customer?" Um, I said "my alarm was set off...so, yea?" Then he asked for a few identifying questions that I answered - five minutes later, he asks "what can I help you with?" I ask "were you listening? I've already explained" - long silence. Then I ask again, "hello? were you listening or do I need to repeat myself?" He dryly answers "no, ma'am, please repeat." He proceeds to give me a status of "we did dispatch." It was like pulling teeth. I had to ask him point by point what happened, was my house ok, did the police show up, etc.
I called this morning to cancel, and was met with attitude from an account manager. She said she'd send me an email (didn't repeat my email back, I'm pretty sure she didn't even write it down) and I have no idea how long it will take to get said email. I apparently can't cancel until I get this email. Now, I research and find that it's very common for Monitronics to give customers the run-around. 30 days to cancel a service is ridiculous. Why do customers have to pay for a service that we don't need anymore for 30 more days. Making cancellations difficult doesn't mean you'll have less of them, it's just making your customers angry. I would have loved to recommend the service to the next homeowner, but won't be. I would also have liked to get your service at the next home I purchase, but definitely won't do that either.

MONI bought out the security company I was with and I've been using MONI's services for four years now. But they jacked up the price on the monthly service which I'm not happy about. I used to be with ADT and after the contract, they started hitting me up for a few dollars each month. They do it in such small increments to where they feel that the customer's not going to notice. But over time it starts to add up and it's frustrating to me because I don't believe that a person who's a loyal customer should have their rates increased every year. Usually after about three years after the contract concludes then I change companies for that reason. I don't like companies that do that and I try to do what I can. I expressed my concerns before I even signed the contract and explained to them what I was going do if they start jacking up their prices like they are. But we'll see if we can come to some agreement. If not, then I'm going go back to ADT.

In May 2014 we bought an alarm system from Monitronics the Simon XTi made from GE. It worked good for 2 years but then it failed. I spent much time with customer service taking apart the unit until they finally decided to dispatch a technician to my house when they discovered it was a major problem. Then, the service technician cancelling and rescheduling occurred over and over until I was fed up. They claim that they will try to fix my unit, but at this point I was too mad to continue and wanted out. I tried to cancel but could not. I tried to get my unit fixed but they cancelled and made me work on their schedule.
They continued to debit my checking account and I was unhappy and upset. No resolution or follow-up to fix their product they knew was broken. As long as they get their money they don't care about your problems. They don't care that your home is unsafe. I tried cancelling 4 times from mid 2016 until today Feb 7, 2017. They charged me the full remaining 3 months for $122.00 today and allowed me to cancel, and provided me a courtesy 1 month credit for my problems. I warned the supervisor I would write a letter how upset I am and he didn't care. I want a full years refund for the horrible customer service and headaches I have had to deal with while my product didn't work. Preventative maintenance should be their responsibility as I pay for a working unit. They knew my unit was broken and unresponsive for over 12 months and did nothing to fix it but schedule a service call only to cancel it.
When I admitted I haven't been using their product for over a year because of the continued loud, obnoxious beeping they did not care. They took my $40 every month and I finally gave up trying to reason with them to fix it. They got 35 out of 36 payments from me and blamed me for the problems. Worst company ever, I will never sign any type of long-term contract again. Horrible customer service, but why should they, they have you under a contract, and that was my mistake. I was able to cancel early, but they charged me for 3 months as my term expired May 2017. How can a company stay in business like this. Shame on you.

We felt secure with the other security system we had but we had an opportunity to get the same kind of coverage for about half the price with MONI. We have had people from MONI out in our house to work on our alarm system because we have had very faulty parts installed by the first company we were with and then a few from MONI but they were replaced for us. The only thing that we have wished about customer service, and we thought that we were getting this when we changed from our other company, is we thought that we would be getting service within 24 hours when we called, and that was not the case. It was a week or maybe more before we could get service. We could not use one of the alarms and had to bypass it and we had to leave town, so we were not very happy about having to wait. That's our only complaint but we would probably recommend MONI Security.

We had service with a security provider and MONI bought our contract from them. When we needed to have a repair done, I spoke with people from MONI and their customer service was better than I expected. I had issues with the system where the sensors weren't working and we had no sense of security. They had this program where there was a $25 fee and it would be added to my bill so I didn’t have to exchange money with the service repair guy.

When I was going down the list and called other providers, they never called me back. Then I have a neighbor across the street who got MONI Security's service. She was talking to me and it sounds like a good deal so I got it, too. The installation was good and it didn't take very long. However, the alarm started acting up and I called it in. It started beeping and having network failure. I tried to resolve it on the phone. They tried to fix it but it's still not fixed. I have an appointment today between 4:00 and 8:00 which is not a problem. The thing I didn't like is that they're gonna charge me $50 for service. I told MONI and they said, "Well, we're gonna waive it." I said it, "Well, wait a minute. Is this in the contract?" That's something I missed. Is that the way it works with this company now? I'm dissatisfied with the service. I'm going to look for another company as soon as the contract is up.
Mr. Falcon,
It is very upsetting to see that you are dissatisfied with MONI, to the point that you are willing to cancel your account at the end of your term.

The installation of our MONI device went well and it didn't take the installers very long to finish. The customer service reps were very helpful and they got everything taken care of.

Super disappointed with Moni. Just got off the phone with a representative to cancel my service. Told him that my alarm had been offline and not communicating for over a month (and BEEPS constantly) with no luck getting a service person out to fix it. He went on to ask me if my home has been broken into within the 4 years I've been with them, guess that makes it ok?? He was so condescending. No my home has not been broken into but there has been homes broken into in my neighborhood. I should not have to justify that to them anyway. Moni gave me no choice but to cancel my contract, they did not hold up their end of the deal. I cannot listen to that BEEP anymore and pay for something that does not protect my home and my family. Not sure why they can never get anyone out to service the equipment. Super frustrated... Stay away.

I sent the property manager out to meet the installers but during the first time, I had a technician that was a dealer for MONI, and he was wonderful.

We had a neighbor who had MONI. She came over with a representative and we liked what we heard and so we bought in. We've called customer service several times. We got a phone call when we were away and it was on our answering machine that they had lost contact with us because the battery was out. It wasn't good but they came and replaced it, no charge.
Late November, we accidentally opened the garage door without turning off the alarm, and there was no alarm. We tested and tested it and the alarm didn't go. That door was not secured and we called them about that, and the tech that came out repaired and replaced it. He said it was faulty and then we got a bill for it. I called about it, and they said, "Well, that was an oversight on our part. There won't be a bill."
While we were on vacation, we got another bill for the same thing and they said if no action is taken before such date they will just debit it from my regular payment account.

Lately, my alarm system has been going a little haywire because it's more likely old and needs some battery replacement. So I've been getting false alarms and even though they've been disarmed properly, they still send out the signal. There were a few times I've been calling them, not knowing that I was calling the wrong people - Alarm.com, and they corrected me and told me to go to MONI.
When I tried to get an appointment, they said they only do weekdays. If I wanted to do weekends, they would have a technician call me back in a couple of days. And he did but he left me hanging. Then I kept calling the customer service over the fact that the technician never called me back. They attempted to have another technician arrange another appointment, and each time it was the same thing to where I ended up with three false alarms. So it was frustrating that I couldn't get anybody to help me. I got an appointment eventually, but it had been after the holidays. I understand it was a busy time for them during the appointments. The technician who showed up pretty much did everything he could but noted to me that he did my carbon monoxide detector as it was about to expire. It was going off and saying service alert and I had to do another call for that.

I signed up for Monitronics home security service in June 2014. The salesman told me that my monthly service fee would be related to how many sensors that I had. I put one on my outside shed, one on the garage service door, one on overhead garage door, 3 glass breaks, one on front door and one on back door to house. This company, Visions Security, was bought out by Monotronics shortly after the install. Just to elaborate, I have called Monotronics many times, and they have told me that they honor all agreements made from a company that they have acquired.
I had at least 3 different representatives and installers go throughout my home, so they were familiar with my family and pets, etc. Occasionally the glass break would go off if my son dropped a toy on the hardwood floor, but for the first year or so, that was the only issue. The technician put an alarm on my overhead garage door. He said it would work fine. After about a year, the glue got cold, and the door is not always 100% level, so it kept falling off or going off. I had to bypass this zone. The same issue happened with the zone on my shed. I deactivated these 2 zones, since they did not work correctly, and I got charged a $25 visit charge. When someone came out, I was told there was nothing they could do, since this was just the nature of overhead doors and cold weather.
Shortly after I stopped using these 2 zones, a glass break went off when no one was home. My 2 dogs were home. The police were called since I was at work and did not answer the phone when Monitronics called. The police looked around the home and found it to be secure. They sent me a letter and a bill for $40 (I think it was $40) since it was a false alarm. This happened again a few months later. Fortunately my neighbor called me when the police were there. He looked around the outside of my home and said nothing looked out of place and told the police to ignore the alarm. I was expecting to get another bill from the police, but fortunately, I did not.
I phoned technical support, and they said the glass breaks can be adjusted, and they would come out at no charge. I said I would think about it, but what I really wanted was to be charged per zone, as the initial salesman had sold the system to me. My request was denied. So I kept paying and no service was requested at this time.
I moved from this home, and my daughter now lives there. Her name is now on the account and I told her to phone technical support if she wanted the glass breaks adjusted. She called and they stated it was a $50 service charge. They also told her that dogs, dropping things on the floor, or even a noisy car outside could set off the glass break. She declined, and I phoned Monitronics since I was never given this information. I again asked for a reduced monthly rate, since I originally had 8 zones and now I have only 3 that work properly. I was denied this. I was told that I could get $10 off per month, but it would extend my 5 year contract, for an additional year. I of course declined this offer.
I asked to be charge $30 a month, which was their current price for new customers, and this was declined. Apparently they do not sell by zones anymore. I currently pay $67.89 per month, which includes tax, for the same service new customers pay $30, plus tax. New customers may have 8 zones, but I only have 3 that work properly. I have almost 2 1/2 years left on my contract, and I will never use their service again!

I wanted an alarm button in the bedroom where I could ring it at night and the sales guy from MONI went out of his way to put it in where I wanted it and showed me how to use it. I have not been burglarized but the security system caught people who came in the house two times because I didn't lock it. Then two months ago, I was getting an error message on the monitor that the battery was out so I called MONI and got help with that. The conversation on the call was positive but when I hung up, I couldn't fix the battery like I thought they told me to fix it. Now whether that was my fault or theirs, I couldn't say because sometimes I don't listen very good. But nevertheless, the problem is still there and the battery hasn't been fixed. I was gone for 40 days and since I've been home, it doesn't bother me anymore.
I paid the bill today and I told them to just drop it. When this month ends February 6th then I'm going to terminate the service. It has nothing to do with the service call but it does have to do with the cost. Even though the price increase was a minimal amount, it has gone up every year by a dollar. I'm now retired and if we terminate this service, we could also terminate our landline, which we don't use except for this. So the savings would be $75 a month, which right now is significant.

This company is all about making a buck. I was a paying customer for 3 years, never missing a payment as it was taken out automatically from my checking account. Luckily I was at the end of my contract which was up Aug. 9th 2016. My house was up for sale and it sold in June 2016. So I called Moni to let them know I wouldn't need their services any longer. Well they wanted me to continue with them at my new location and I said no that I wasn't satisfied with them and that I would be going with ADT security. I thought we were done but they weren't done with me. They continued to collect from me for another 6 months until I looked at my bank statement. I called to find out why they were still collecting a monthly payment and they said that I didn't sign off. They said I was told that I would receive a document online and to sign off, they could have told me but I really don't remember.
I still haven't seen the e-mail that supposedly they sent me instructing me to sign off. So in a nutshell Moni could have done a follow up to find out why I didn't sign off, but no it was easier to continue to steal money and if the truth were known they were upset when I told them I was done with them and would be using ADT. You see I stumbled upon a fact that my account with Moni had been deactivated and I didn't have service for 3 months. They wouldn't talk to me about compensating me for the 3 months I didn't have service and it was their fault. Really feel sorry for other older folks that could be taken the same ride I was taken.

I've had Monitronics since long time. When I got it the first time it was my old agent, who had installed security systems in previous years, who pointed out that this could be a good option take on. Their overall reps are good. The last time I spoke with the customer rep regarding lowering my bill, he informed me that I was due for 10% discount and this was what it could be and everything. I thought it was all good but when the first billing cycle came, my bill remained the same. I thought maybe the change will take effect in the next billing cycle which is February. But today I notice in the bill that instead of the amount I was originally paying which was $39.98, it went up to $41.98.
I asked their agent why the discount did not go through and told that I talked to several other companies that were offering good deals. I didn't want to change unnecessarily because I have no issue with the service, everything is great, and I'm overall very happy with keeping the service of MONI as long as I get a little discount from them.
I was also surprised about what happened when I ordered a yard sign because the previous one was broken. All that customer care rep told me was he executed except the financial part didn't go through because it was the second billing cycle and that also was showing more amount being due than the original amount I had. When I spoke to the billing person, she informed me that it is annual and under the contract, they can have a 5% raise anytime.
I told the billing person that this was same thing I was told previously by the person I was asking to lower my bills. When I questioned him why my bill went up from the original I had the service at, he explained the same reason that 5% could go anytime during the billing cycle and it is a new contract. In the three years, there was a little change that was happening all around so I accepted it. But this one was a shock because I just had a talk with their rep about lowering my bill. I questioned why it went up $2. Explanations remain the same and that was not what I expected. I thought that my bill was going to be taken care off and I took a contract for 12 months.
I was guided to another rep who explained to me that it is going to take place from next month. It was supposed to be within a month and one billing cycle already passed, so I questioned why it was added on to the second billing cycle. I didn't know how it was calculated. But she promised that from next month onward my bill was going to be $31.98 so that was all taken care of. I felt embarrassed after the girl told me it was going to be next month because I was upset. I requested that when they have such kind of changes in the bill, some explanation should come through in the email. This way I'm aware and I don't have to call unnecessarily getting panicked and all. They should also have a stipulated date when there would be changes.
It was not a happy experience for me. I wish I didn't have to pay the extra $2 too. As a company, it doesn't sound good that the issue wasn't taken care of within a month. It's really a little bit bad on the company that whatever problem is carried on more than a month. Those were my concern because I have to refer somebody as I always do. I wouldn't want to say that when they call once in three years, this is what happens. Otherwise, I'm very happy with the entire Monitronics system and I have four wall panels in my house. One of the reasons I don't want to shift the service to other people if there is only one to three dollar difference is I'll have to pay extra dollars for changing the panels.

When the next bill arrived I called & was told I hadn't filled out the cancellation form, (which I was never told about) I then filled out the cancellation form, got another bill, and was told it takes 30 days to end service, even though I was on a month to month.

I've been pleased with MONI for some time. I liked that I didn't have to buy a separate phone line and being able to control everything including my thermostat and all that off of one app. Then we moved from one house to another and they were flexible in the reconfiguration. It has been a no money out-of-pocket experience. They're easy to work with and their system works. I talked with a rep when I had a piece of equipment that failed and they weren't able to get somebody out for a week. I was leaving town and wasn't very comfortable leaving the system unarmed. I called the original company that did the install and they quickly came out to the house and took care of it.

This Company is supposed to be a trusted security company, they are not. I opened an account on 5 28 2013 and signed a contract for 36 mos on April of 2015. I called and cancel service and agreed to pay till my obligations were filled. Should have been 5/28/2016. They still charged my card. I have called numerous times. Been switched from person to person then I told my credit card company to deny any charges from this company. Then and only then did they reach out to me for payment. Are you kidding me. As it is they over charged me 7 mos in service fees that they were not authorized by me but did anyway. This company is difficult to cancel your account and they purposely make it that way.

I have MONI Security for my monitoring. They have always been superb when I need help over the phone. I was told and still am being told that the first year any house calls for faulty equipment or sensor issues were free. I called within the first year and they contacted the service provider for my area. The provider would not honor their free first year and I would be charged $50.00. I called MONI Security back and they said it is supposed to be free but if the service people wouldn't honor it that was my problem. The service provider is who they set me up with not someone I contacted. The local provider is B&D security on the Sacramento/Elk Grove area. Very disappointing experience.

I've had MONI's security system for years. I've always had a very good experience with it and I'm very satisfied. However, I've been having some problems with it recently, and in the process of my working with MONI to get through these problems, my house was actually broken into. But the alarm system was working well enough that it scared the intruders away. I called the customer service team and they were very quick to resolve my problem. The only thing was that I called on a Saturday and I could not contact anyone to come out and fix the problem until Monday. MONI did fine, but the people they had contracted with to do the repairs in my area weren't open until Monday. Nevertheless, when I was finally able to reach the contractor, they responded very fast. Within a few minutes, they were on their way. But I couldn't leave the house and was afraid to leave because the intruders had kicked in my front door.
The MONI guys were so extremely concerned and helpful, and they answered my questions. They helped me see if I can figure out the problem and fix it myself before they had to send someone. I feel totally safe with my MONI home automation device. When the alarm goes off, they are very quick to contact me, whether it's a real or a false alarm, so I'm very pleased with them.

It says that a battery is low but I don't know how to change it. I will have to call them before it dies.

We have been loyal customers for over four years now. I think it was August when they came out and said they needed to replace something for the cell phone service inside the panel. In October, we lost power and the system stopped working. We noticed that we couldn't control the system with our phones anymore and had to use the panel. Several times I set the alarm to go off as soon as the door opened and we didn't get any notifications or the police didn't show up or we didn't get a phone call when the alarm went off. We used to when it seldom went off accidentally.
We sold our home and had the buyers lined up to take over the alarm system but wanted to do the right thing and made sure it worked. Talked with customer service/technician and he walked me through how to disconnect everything and try to power it back up and it still didn't work. Said it would cost us $50 for a technician to come out and fix it and we told them that they wanted to keep the security system and use it themselves. No way I was going to refer Moni if they weren't' going to repair it to working order.
We hung up and wife called them again, said we had a contract that ended in June 2017 and would have to pay it 'till then. Called back another time and they said the same thing. Seems like no way anyone should have to pay for something that does not work. Very crooked in my opinion and displeased with customer service. Trust me, I work with the public and you won't get very far if you don't change your customer service techniques.

I decided to use MONI because of their salesperson and a few more things he promised.

One time I called MONI customer service and they fixed me right up. I broke one of the sensors off my shed and I didn't have the replacement parts.

Having the MONI device lets me know if somebody's gonna break down the door and it will only impair. There are a couple of times I've walked in without the remote and if I forget to press it, then the siren goes off. I go to the keypad and timed it and they call within about 15 seconds.

I've had MONI for about nine years now and so I really like them. When I initially signed on with MONI, I didn't realize that I had signed the five-year contract and that upset me a little bit.

I had a problem with a couple of my doors saying they were on but they weren't and I talked to their rep. We figured out that this was because of the weather change. When the weather changes from warm to cold, houses shift. The doors shifted a little bit and made the door sensors go on, and all I had to do was push them in there. Since installing our system, we've had peace of mind and haven't had any break-ins. MONI is a great organization as far as I can tell.

Today, Friday January 6 at 12:19 pm I called the customer services to cancel my account. After 25 minutes waiting, a customer services person took my call. At the beginning everything went fine. Then the customer services person told me that meanwhile the system uploading my account he will ask me couple of question. Here was when the nightmare begins.
This person literally harassing me with his question on why I want to cancel my service. He was pushing me to the point that I almost have an heart attack. He was question me on how I protect my family. He asked me why I want to expose my family and my house to get robbed. That I wasn't suppose to leave my house unprotected. He was speaking all the time and when I stopped him to let me talk, he continues talking about the company products and services taking as excuse that the account was uploading. What kind of computer system this company have that take more than 20 minutes to upload an account. How they can monitor a house with such slow system.
I have been try to cancel this service for years since 2014. Last time the company told me that I have to sent a cancellation letter. Due day was past at that moment so I could not cancel at the time because they told me that I have to pay the rest of the time (4 years). Well, I have been paying to this company even without any alarm system.
Now, at 6 months in advance to the day of renewal, I call to cancel but instead, the sales representative practically harass me in a such a way that I was so pissed off. At the end he gave the information that I needed practically in couple of seconds. He told me that I will be receiving an email to continue the cancellation process which I haven't receive yet.

When we’ve been out of town, they were quick to call if our alarm went off for whatever reason. Plus we get emails if the battery's low. We’ve had other companies in the past but never had the customer service that we have with MONI.
Christopher, Here at MONI, we know that every moment matters. That is why our core values are focused around offering our customers the best service possible. Being able to interact with your alarm system anywhere in the country, allows you that additional peace of mind.

Moni security system reached out to me for service. After speaking with their sales rep that called I agreed to a plan. They gave me a discount for being in the military which was great. After the installer came out he could not install the SkyBell because my doorbell was a wireless doorbell. So the sales rep called and offer me a cheaper plan without the SkyBell which I agreed upon. The service tech installed everything and left. I have an image camera inside my living room and was told it picks up body heat of 40lbs or more so my 10 pound dog would be fine and it would not pick him up. After setting my alarm and leaving the house I was getting multiple false alarms due to the camera picking up my 10lbs dog. I had to get the alarm company to ignore the camera because it was faulty and picking up my dog.
I tried calling my sales rep back and they could never put me in touch with her. All I wanted was the service I signed a contract for. The rep I spoke with on the phone said that I was locked in a contract and if I wanted out I had to pay a thousand plus dollars. I tried to tell him that this was not acceptable as I'm not getting what I signed a contract for. I asked if I could swap out the camera and get a cheaper monthly rate since I would only have a basic alarm system. I was told "no" that since I'm in contract they can't change my rate. I also did not get anything as advertised on the website (amazon echo, key remotes, etc.). I've had the alarm system less than a week and was told I'm stuck in a contract unless I want to pay over a thousand dollars. So much for them supporting the military. And the rep Vincent I spoke with on a few occasions had horrible customer service.

My father has had the system a long while, but he was with another company who sold the account to Monitronics, which became MONI. What bothered me was that he got no notification when the account was sold. We had to call the old company for something and they didn’t have the account anymore. MONI, the new company, told us to call a number and we did, but we didn’t have any account number because we hadn’t received any notification. We had to go back and forth in calling the companies. But it got straightened out and there’s been no real problem. My father is satisfied.

I got MONI three years ago when they came by because of the service they provide and their new hardware at the time. Since having MONI Home Automation device installed, I feel really safe especially when we set the alarm and know we're gone somewhere. We're not as concerned because we know they're going to respond if there is an alarm.
Their customer service team was able to resolve the issue fairly quickly over the phone and knew exactly what to tell me to test and it works.

We’ve been using Monitronics for 20 years. From time to time, our alarm has gone off for one reason or another with either a loose connection or something in that order and it was usually when we weren’t there so I had to talk to their service representatives to get things squared away. We figured out what the problem was and decided whether or not to call the police or disregard it or just what we needed to do in that instance.
When I first started calling them when I had a problem it was two different outfits. There was Monitronix and then they would call some independent guy to come out, in other words, wasn’t necessarily one of their own. It was just somebody that they had association with. Nobody showed up with a uniform on or anything like that but we got everything solved.

I was looking for a security service provider that was not connected to my landline phone. I ended up with MONI because they gave me the best price. However, I was frustrated because it took them six months to resolve my issue. I had beeps going on all through the night. The customer service team was responsive to my needs. They are not responsible for the technology part and what happened in my case. We're frustrated with Monitronics because they are just monitoring. They came with another company which did a horrible job of installing and I was left to deal with Monitronics to try to fix it. Monitronics need to have their own people install the equipment before I could recommend them to somebody else. But since they have fixed my problem, I am a satisfied customer and I don't plan to change MONI right now.

I was broken into before and I've never been scared but I got MONI more or less for my peace of mind and the comfort of knowing that I have security. I live in a really rural area and by the time the police would get here, it'd be too late. So hopefully the system will work as a deterrent for somebody to see the signs and not break in. MONI also offered a package that I didn't know anybody had.
And their reps have been great. I've had the issue where I accidentally set off the alarm and they were real nice about it. I've also had some instances where I'd be notified that the battery was low and I changed it and it still wouldn't do it. I've had to deal with that and they were good about that. I'm in a wheelchair and I'm here by myself during the week. I've had the battery go low on a Tuesday and I kept resetting it then it kept going off. They were nice enough to disconnect it for me so I didn't have to worry about trying to find somebody to get our here and change it until Honey Bunny got home on the weekends. So I've been really pleased with their service and I'm very satisfied with my experience.

We were originally a customer with Security Solutions and Monitronics purchased this company in late 2015 or early 2016. No one notified us from either company that our account had switched. To say the least we have been extremely unhappy with the service and the equipment that was installed by Security Solutions because it installed using ADT’s equipment which was already in our home. The Security Solutions equipment was not compatible with that of ADT’s and so many of the devices (in our home) were never connected to the police or fire departments.
In October 2016, we were approached by a new security company with a better offer and decided to switch companies. We were informed by a Monitronics representative in the winter of 2016 we were on a month-to-month agreement and there was no problem for us to cancel our service at any time and no balance was due. Per this representative, we had already fulfilled the agreements of our current contract. When the installer from the new company came to install their equipment, we were informed of the following:
1. Our current monitor’s sensor on the wall was never hooked up or monitored.2. Both keychain remotes were not operable and never worked from day one since they were incompatible with the system already in place.
3. The smoke detector was not connected to the fire department.
4. The only device that worked was for the four doors that were controlled by your Resolution product that took over ADT’s sensors.
5. When the Monitronics Security panel was removed from the wall in our home no alarm (audible or silent) was activated. No passcode or pin number was entered prior to removing it.
6. We received no emergency phone call from either your company or the police of a possible break in.
We called Monitronics, as a courtesy, to inform them we would no longer be continuing our service and to please cancel our account. To our surprise, we were told that we still owed over $800 and our contract would not end until April 2018. Let the buyer beware! We have since written four letters to Monitronics’ Customer Service department, spoken with individuals on the phone, to no avail. They offered us a buyout with a discount of about $200, but why should we pay for a service that did not work?
I have read many negative reviews regarding this company’s ability to protect its clients and it’s sad when people pay over $2500 for equipment that didn’t work. Then they make it impossible to cancel your service even though you no longer have their equipment in use. I contacted the Better Business Bureau in Dallas, Texas and they only referred me back to Monitronics.
Suffice it to say, we are most unhappy... I guess my next avenue will be to contact one of the major news stations in our area to have them investigate our concerns. Then it will be a public issue and hopefully help others who are in our same predicament. I had to rate this company with one star since there is no lower rating possible. Zero stars would be more accurate!

I've always had home security. The first two houses didn't have the monitoring that MONI offers. Previously, if someone broke in, my phone would ring and tell me. With MONI, the system is monitoring the house through my phone. Everything has been fine. Other times, the alarm went off when I've burned food and I've talked to the customer service team. They were very nice over the phone, and when I talked to them just recently, they were also very friendly.
Moreover, the people that came to do the install were very good at cleaning things up. Plus, they were very good at showing me how everything works and all the necessary stuff that they would have done, but their Wi-Fi that went through my phone wasn't proper. I set my alarm off for a test one time and nobody knew that I was running a test. I let my alarm go off for about three minutes. Then, I called them up and they said, "We've seen a record of you setting off your alarm." I said, "How long should it be before you'd find out?" One of them said about 30 seconds. I said that the alarm was running for three minutes. So, they started sending out repairmen to try and figure out what the problem was and it had something to do with the Wi-Fi provider they were using. But the third time, they got that all straightened out.
However, they were raising my bill for about $6 a month. I wanted to know why because I felt I had signed a contract for five years and that MONI had no right to raise my rate because of the contract. One of the customer service team members said that they've got the right to raise the rate whenever they want to. I told him that both of us signed the same contract and that I can lower my rate because I want to. I sent them $49.99 and that's what I'm going to continue to send them. Working with that rep was very bad, and he could have done some more research to find out where it says in that contract that MONI can raise my rate whenever they wanted to.
Other than that, I've been a customer for a very long time and MONI Security makes me feel comfortable. Every time I leave the house and every time I go to bed at night, I turned my device on and I feel much better with it on. In fact, I'll turn it on when it gets dark out there because Raytown isn't the greatest city in the world to live in.

As far as security, the MONI system works. It's on point. If the alarm goes off, I get a response right away. But then there were communication issues with them. They did an upgrade to my system and my monthly payments went up. I called to question that because I was under a contract and thought that the payments were gonna stay the same for the life of the contract.
I also questioned why my emergency button didn't work when I press it from the panel. It was supposed to be activated from day 1 when I got the system. But the gentleman that came for the upgrade said that activating the button is something I have to request. I thought it was automatically done. I wanted to make sure the system worked because I have a person here at home that I have to take care of and many other things going on. But I was told it wasn't working so now I'm paying additionally for this button to be activated.
Then there was a time I needed cameras but they didn't have them available. When they became available, they were charging me way more for the cameras and the installation. I was really unsatisfied. But I was stuck in the contract so I’ve toughened it out. In 2017 my contract will be over so I plan on going elsewhere. There are too many other companies out there which are gonna more than likely give me what I want.
Judith, I am glad to see that you are pleased with the response time we have. We work very hard when it comes to ensuring our customers are protected. Regarding the cameras and additional equipment, we have several great options that I would love to share with you.

I decided about MONI when I turned 80. Also, there were some robberies in my neighborhood, with kids breaking in to houses. Occasionally the panic button goes off. I wear it around my neck. I'm short so if I lean on to something it'll go off and I don't mean for it to. All I have to do is report to them that I'm OK 'cause they call me immediately after it goes off. They've been very kind and patient when I have a false alarm. Also, I've spoken to their customer service a few times because they require you to have three different people who knew your codes. One of them was my daughter who wanted the toggle that you can put on your key ring, so I got another from them. In fact, I got two others, one for my house sitter who comes whenever I do travel and the other one for my daughter because I feel what an asset that was since you can turn it off even not coming and out of the house.
My neighbors, having a longer driveway, have not been exempt from being burglarized. I feel comfortable that that can't happen to me. My panic button only works when I'm at home, though. I'm an 80 year old living by myself and that's important. But I'm very happy with MONI.
Joyce, The robberies you mentioned sound terrible. I am glad that we were able to provide you with a peace of mind and security during that time.

I've had a few false alarms and their reps reached out to me to make sure that these were false alarms indeed. Everyone that I spoke to was very pleasant.

This company recently changed its name from Monitronics to Moni. Monitronics reviews are not good and many can still be found. We have been paying for May 13th, 2016. Our system is still not set up to work. The front door keypad did not work upon installation in May. Replacement was attempted four times unsuccessfully. The new lock was installed and worked in November. At that time, the passcodes between the doors and the alarm were no longer connected. It took several hours on the phone over a two week period to correct this.
The first week in December, the alarm began to beep and say that batteries were low in all zones. I receive an e-mail for each zone. After several hours on the phone again, I still have beeping at all hours of the night. Customer care is not equipped to help with the situation. They don't know where the battery is located? I was under the impression that this was a wireless system? This is a brand new house and has never had an alarm system before. Once they hear this, they can't explain it, but they know there is a battery somewhere. They just can't tell me where? I have searched but have not located it.
This alarm also has stated "system arm stay" in the middle of the night three times since we have moved in. The representative on the phone said that sounds like someone is disarming and arming your system. Yes - scary! I was told yesterday that a manager would be calling me back. Still no word? Today I called the sales department and the gentleman on the phone told me that Moni doesn't own my system for 180 days. He gave me the phone number to another company and connected me. (702) 817-9578. This takes you to a voicemail that does not even state a name or company. I am going to compile the phone records so that you can see how much effort has gone into working through these issues. If you choose to go with this company, I wish you the best of luck.
Tracy, I am very sorry to hear that you have had several issues with the alarm system since it was installed. Here at MONI we want to do everything we can to ensure that you are satisfied with the equipment installed, and it is working properly.

I try to remember to test the alarm at least twice a year. And the last time I spoke to somebody, I had a battery problem. The problem was the main battery in the call module and they shipped it to me. I basically got the charge on my bill, paid for it and they shipped me the battery. I replaced it and everything was cool. I feel comfortable with the system, and it works okay every time I've had to test it. I had no trouble at all and I recommend MONI Security to anybody.

I liked the package that I was offered and got MONI. However, the people from Allied Security who does MONI's front work installed the wrong alarm system and it wasn't arming properly. Allied Security didn't know what they were doing and they were the one who dropped the ball. However, MONI need to learn a lesson in customer service as there was also a whole bunch of problems and their customer service was very disappointing to me. I don't like a customer service rep who has no power and will only keep repeating what a supervisor had said. They should be able to make some decisions and have a supervisor and the company back them up. If they're gonna sell a product, they should stay behind their product. If someone makes a mistake, they should correct it. I don't want to hear some foolishness because a customer service rep doesn't have the power to straighten the situation out. If the customer service person can't straighten it out, get the supervisor.
This young lady told me straight out that the supervisor would not call me back and that nobody was gonna call me. She kept telling me that I had to pay a large fee to have the proper alarm system installed. I told her, "Thank you for nothing," and hang up the phone on her. I called back and that's when I got this other man who said he was going to work on the issue until he got everything straightened out. He took my phone number down and pursued it until I was satisfied. I'm glad that I was able to find a customer service person who realized that and wanted to address the situation for the benefit of the customer. He got his supervisors and all the people involved because I explained to him what the situation was.
I also told him if it wasn't straightened out, I was going to call Tallahassee and speak with the governor and the Attorney General about it because I was very upset. I have diabetes and I also carry a push button medical alert. I told him if I push that button and I don't get a response, it's gonna be a problem with my family because that's what we're paying extra money for. If it's not working, I want it fixed. It was a lot of back and forth until finally, the new system was installed with no problems by Kevin who is one of MONI's technicians. Kevin was very persistent about getting it right. He made sure that I'm on Wi-Fi and that I also have the landline as backup. Now, I'm happy.
The particular customer service gentleman and Kevin's persistence to help me out are the things that engender loyalty. It makes the person stay even after their contract and they'll also give their recommendation to other people. If MONI does not have a trained technician, they should not have Allied Security come out to a customer's house because I'm not pleased with that part of it. I was feeling that I was secure for over a year now but it was all an illusion. Now that Kevin put the right alarm in and tested it, and I was here while he did it and worked through it, I feel much more secure.
Tanya, From reading your review it sounds as though you have an unfortunate experience with MONI. It gives me peace of mind to see you were able to speak with someone who was persistent in resolving your concerns.

The person who did the installation was awesome but there was an issue with the initial hook-up. The outlet that the device was hooked up to wasn't strong enough.

There was only one person to work on it in my area. There were more but I had to wait for them. The person who installed it came back to fix it.

I had MONI for years. I inherited them when they bought out another company that I was originally with for a couple of years. I would recommend them, as long as they stay on top of their stuff. I just got back into a contract with MONI. I upgraded. I did a 5-year contract in order to get the equipment, like cameras, basically for free. It's just been a bumpy ride but once everything was operational, I love the fact that I can be able to feel secure in my home. I went from having regular service with no cameras for a few years to having no service for about two weeks because they had installed a new panel after they put the panel in.
For the panel that wasn't working, MONI had to schedule an installation of a whole new one. I didn't have any service during those weeks. When I call them, I had to keep telling my story to a rep and ask why they are charging me even if I didn't get any service. I asked MONI about getting credit for the two weeks that I didn't have service. They gave it to me. However when I called their customer service team to check my balance, the rep told me that they were charging me $800 for the equipment I was supposed to have gotten free.
I've had a lot of good experiences with their customer service team. However I had to keep calling to try to get this same thing resolved. A person would tell me that they have the issue already straightened out but then when I get the bill, it was saying something different, so I had to call back again. I'm waiting for the next bill to find out if it's straightened out. Hopefully it is. They could have really put me in a bad way had I not caught them trying to take out dollars out of my account. How much more were they about to knock out? I would have been very upset if that would have happened. Because of this incident, I took MONI off automatic payment.
I also get one little error that keeps popping up every day at 9:05 telling me that something is low on battery. A guy from MONI came to check it out but they couldn't tell me what it was or how to correct the problem. The technician was very knowledgeable though, it's just that things were beyond his control. Eventually MONI told me to go to alarm.com and see if they can get where its coming from. I'm in a sort of Catch-22 with that. I've ignored it but if I ever have a real alarm, I won't know if it's the real thing.

We’ve only had very good service with MONI. We moved a couple of times, so we had dealings with customer service in getting equipment again to the new place and it’s always been very smooth. We’ve always had monitored homes and it makes us feel better when we’re away. We don’t monitor while we’re there. We don’t turn it on at night, but we do when we’re away, and it gives us more peace of mind. MONI is competent and professional.
Jim, Reading your review made my day! MONI knows that moving can be very hectic, which is why we aim to service our customers in the most efficient way. Thank you for allowing us to monitor your home when you are away, and we look forward to doing so for many years to come. -Ashley C.

I had a break-in and no one from MONI called to alert me. My sister was home at the time and she pressed all the buttons on the thing like she was told and it did not send an alert. It didn't tell me anything was going on. When I got home, I called MONI and asked them why I didn't get a phone call. The customer service person was very rude and sarcastic and they all kept blaming me that it was all my fault. We went through some testing but even after that, they still didn't do anything.
Even when I switched to the new company that I'm with now, MONI took the panel off the wall and it took them two days to alert me. I paid them every month and I was a great customer to them, and for them to turn around and give me customer service like that is not acceptable. Before the break-in, everything was good and they were taking care of everything. But after the break-in, they need to improve on their customer service. I wouldn't recommend them to a friend because it's not what it's supposed to be doing.
Cassie, The experience you mentioned below sounds very alarming, and I am very sorry that you had to go through something like this. The interaction you described with our customer service is unacceptable, and I can assure you that this will be looked into and addressed accordingly. I will be contacting you directly to go into further details, regarding your review and concerns. -Ashley C.

I received a letter that they have switched from Monitronics to MONI Security and because they changed I asked for a new sign and they did send a new one. Customer service seemed very friendly. Whenever I need them, I can call them and I automatically get an answer. I never had a problem with them. The batteries have been running good on my device and the service hasn't failed me. We feel more confident, especially when we leave out of town. I'm happy with the service they are providing. MONI is reliable and a great business service to us. I highly recommend them.

MONI does what they're being paid to do. I don't have to worry when there's no one home, and if somebody does come, the police will be called so it makes me feel safer. One time somebody had opened my garage door and MONI contacted the police. They were pretty quick to respond. Their rates could be a little bit cheaper, but other than that, I have no problem at all and they're somebody I'll be keeping going forward.
Wanda, This review is a perfect example of MONI having the fastest response time. It brings me great joy to see that you will be a valued customer with us for many years to come! We focus on your protection so you can relax and enjoy your peace of mind. Thanks for sharing. -Ashley C.
