This company pisses me off soon much. The cameras literally dont work, I have about 7 cameras and 2/7 work. The others load for 3 minutes then either say "timed out" or "there was a problem connecting". Now it would be common sense to think its a connection issue, but it isnt, the company sent a dude to fix it well over 10 times. Not only that, theyre trying to charge us when their cameras arent working?? We even bought internet boosters and placed them around the cameras. I also have never had a connection issue and have 900mb internet so

Great
I live with my elderly parents ( 88 and 86 ) and need the monitoring system for security and safety purposes, especially since I work outside the home 5 days a week.Both my parents are actively using their phones to view activities on our security cameras.
Sadly, my father's phone had to be replaced and I was having difficulty downloading the app
Thankfully, Andi S. From their Belleville location, patiently took the time to walk my father through the steps necessary to get him up and running. She did this in person too!
Thank you Andi for your great customer service, as always.

Alarm.com Apple TV App Review
Alarm.com Apple TV App Review - ⭐⭐ (2/5 stars)
Great Products, Disappointing App Experience
It's a shame that Alarm.com, despite having excellent security products, delivers apps that fall short on all levels. The Apple TV app is a perfect example of this disconnect.
The Four-Camera Limitation Problem
If you only have four cameras, you'll be fine. But the moment you expand beyond that, the app becomes frustratingly inadequate. With eight cameras in my setup, I can only view four at a time on the main screen. To see my second-floor cameras, I have to wait 10-30 seconds for the display to cycle through to the next set.
Real-World Impact
This limitation isn't just inconvenient—it's potentially dangerous. In an emergency situation, when you need to quickly scan all your cameras to identify an issue, you're forced to wait through multiple cycles. By the time you locate the problem camera, whatever triggered your concern could be long gone.
Simple Fix, No Action
The solution seems straightforward: provide settings to display all cameras simultaneously on a large TV screen, or at minimum, add a quick button to advance between camera groups. This basic functionality would transform the user experience, yet Alarm.com continues to ignore this obvious improvement.
The Bigger Picture
I was considering adding four more cameras to my system, but this app limitation pushed me toward Nest instead—they understand that users need to see all their cameras efficiently. While Alarm.com's hardware is solid, their software doesn't give you the tools to fully utilize your investment.
Customer Support Concerns
Unfortunately, technical support doesn't help matters. Extended hold times and callback delays of two days make getting assistance a frustrating ordeal.
Bottom Line
Alarm.com makes genuinely good security products, but their Apple TV app severely limits your ability to use them effectively. Until they address these basic usability issues, users with multiple cameras should look elsewhere for a complete security solution.

Hello Stephen,
Thank you for sharing your honest feedback. We’re sorry for the frustration the four-camera limitation in our Apple TV app has caused—especially its impact in urgent situations. Your suggestion to allow more cameras on screen or add a quick-switch button is appreciated and will be passed to our product team for consideration.
We’re also sorry for any trouble reaching technical support. Your experience matters to us, and we’re always working to improve both our products and service. We do not have a record of a direct call or email from you, but we’d be glad to help further if you contact us at [email protected].
Thank you again for your feedback!
Warm regards,

Have them through HTC cameras only last for a year if you are lucky. The 35$ camera I bought 3 years ago off of amazon are working great. But got 2 of these through HTC, whom also monitors cameras and they will not replace even though I pay them monthly for the cameras.
