Former customer 10 plus years, no longer have my system monitored and needed a wireless door sensor. Call them for a price and they said since I was no longer a customer they wouldn't sell it to me.
So your solution to my problem is signing up for another 3 years? Think I'll pass.

They are a scam and they steal your money
They are a scam. They sent my bill to collections without ever notifying me of any bill in the first place. My emails from them have no mention of a bill from the last couple of years. They even had someone call me from their company and I told the representative i do not use their service and then I found out later that she never closed my account after telling her that I did not use or want it, plus she never mentioned there was a bill that needed to be paid. So I get one from collections for something I haven't used once in many years. Do not use them!

Thank you for providing your feedback, Jeff. Alert 360 prides itself on providing industry-leading customer support, and we never want to have a negative interaction with a customer. Upon researching your account, I see you were under a valid agreement with Alert 360, and in addition to signing the Alarm System Monitoring Agreement, you also signed a “No Secrets” document which restates the terms of the agreement in plain English in order to avoid any misunderstandings. Our team made attempts to reach you to discuss your account on numerous occasions, without a response. At this time Alert 360 does not show an active account under your name. We recommend you reach out to the company that currently has your account for further assistance with this complaint.

Beware
Beware. You are going to get nickle and dimed from this company. They bought out the other security company I started out with $49.99 a month. I don't need security monitoring and I don't use it, but I get charged for it anyways. The city where I live requires 24 hour fire alarms on businesses. I am getting overcharged and I don't have a choice. Which leads me to the second problem. About a year ago their system (they tell me it's mine) isn't working. Alert 360 "fixes it" and charges me over $300. But, they "kindly" charge me an extra $2.94 a month for a 2 year contract. I don't trust them. Just received a bill for an extra $357.00 and a $5.00 late fee! About 2 months ago, my system (THEIR SYSTEM!!) starts beeping crazy several times a day. They tell me it's going to cost over $300....!!!!
I didn't have a choice but to let them fix THEIR SYSTEM and charge me for it!!
I am stuck for another year. Don't make my mistake, find another company. I warned you.
Sincerely,
Jeff Lloyd MBA

I have been trying to contact you for many hours since this afternoon to no avail. I'm told someone will contact me and no one ever does. If I do not get to speak with someone tomorrow I will seek another security system

POSSIBLE COMPROMISED SYSTEMS MET WITH COGNITIVE DISSONANCE
Update..in response to the misinformation written in their reply, I am 7 hrs away in total from the properties before mentioned. They were informed that I would be there on October 9. No representation of alert 360 showed. I was there for 12 hrs trying to save the property located there. VM is not full, and I had a heated conversation with a representative from their company that offered only a release from contract. To little to late, and the bigger point of my complaint is to help prevent other customers of theirs to experience what I have. One situation alone did not alert me to the pattern. Most customers only have one property under their service. Alert 360 is not only outright dismissing the possibility of it being compromised without investigation, but they have exibited cognitive dissonance to it and outright defensiveness. I have provided all requests twice now. Their own employees confirmed that system was showing armed during the 3 hour breakin prior to alarm going off. Camera footage shows perpetrators went in and out of a security defined protected area. Alert 360 did come out and do a post breakin inspection. At that time all equipment tested good, but they up sold me on additional equipment at both properties. All of which failed again in the same manner.
To clarify the statement of being compromised is a reference to their system which may or may not involve internal as they assumed I was referencing. It is clear that their equipment is being bypassed not only through entryway protection but also motion detectors inside of the home located directly in path of perpetrator movement. I ask you this. How does a fully armed and service connected system that was apparently functioning properly not detect 6 different perpetrators plus their dog walking directly in front of motion detection connected device for 3 hrs and never trip their alarm system? You can also add the front door was also not tripped although tested by alert 360 as fully functioning after the breakin at 424 apple wood location. They entered and exited for 3 hrs and system stayed armed and detected nothing.
I strongly recommend avoiding this company and highly recommend to disconnect service. A contract break penalty would have been cheaper than the losses and the stress all of this has caused me. What service was provided for the monthly fees that were paid every month when their system is clearly compromised in some manner? What service did they provide for the monthly fees that were paid when their equipment is a joke to the thieves like the ones that broke in to that property? The fully accurate answer is...none. Their defensiveness, denile, and complete lack of concern for their customers safety over their self preservation is disturbing and appalling.
Description of Complaint:
3 properties with a total of 6 break in's. 901 s 11th st. System failures after system check and/or repair caused loss exceeding $8000.00. no insurance and as such no alert 360 assistance for loss. 424 apple wood, breakin captured by trail camera showed 3 plus hours of alarm bypassed by perpetrators causing near 1000.00 in loss again a few months after repair/check/upgrade. 2805 nw 23rd breakin with motion detector failure to detect just months after upgrade/repair/test of system with additional contract and monthly cost and installation and equipment cost. Damage to property but loss again caused by system failure. Their system is either inept or compromised and has caused me 1000's in loss . System upgrades each time still produced system failures that allowed perpetrators to have not only access, but extreme extended access to what should have been a secure location. I have come to the belief that their company/system is compromised, but discussion of the possibility is met with cognitive dissonance and dismissal. All reports made and provided with photos , case numbers and arrests were made. This company has failed to meet any generally accepted basic expectations of security. For 3+hours motion detector and front entry failed to detect 6 people entering and exiting with system fully armed and system monitoring unaware. Alert 360 is either inept or compromised and the only loss being absorbed is by myself and my family. The normal expectations commonly expected are not met because of system failures or compromised systems. At this time I demand compensation for my losses, refund for equipment and equipment upgrades where promises failed to meet normal expectations, refund of monthly service for all 3 properties since first system failure caused losses, cancelation of contracts w/o penalties, and detailed response to address the possibility of compromised systems to help protect others from similar loss.
Desired Settlement:
Refund

Alert 360 prides itself on industry-leading customer service and state-of-the-art equipment, and we would never want a customer to have a negative experience. We have researched this claim based on the limited information we have received, and have requested evidence of a loss such as an inventory list of items stolen, a police report, and insurance claim or any other form of documentation substantiating a loss. To date this information has been provided. We have attempted to contact Mr. Sproat to discuss this matter and our calls have not been answered and his voice mailbox is full so we are unable to leave a message. Additionally, no evidence has been provided that would indicate any Alert 360 employee was involved in these incidents, and we will cooperate fully with authorities.
We have offered to conduct a post-burglary system inspection which is standard protocol in the event of a burglary, however that request has been denied by Mr. Sproat. We remain Interested in conducting an inspection of Mr. Sproat’s system as soon as possible, and we request a copy of the police report as well as an insurance claim so we may fully investigate this matter. Until this information is provided, we consider this matter closed.

Alarm system stopped working (screen…
Alarm system stopped working (screen completely shut off even though outlet plugged into was working) and called Alert 360 help line, which said they would send a tech out at a specific date and time after 2 weeks. Tech never showed up, so we called Alert 360 again, who stated they would send another tech and confirmed another date and time after another 2 weeks. Second time, tech still did not show up. Called Alert 360 again who apologized for the confusion and then was insistent on purchasing a renewal with installment of a new system for a contract of 3 years; not what we asked for, we simply wanted our system checked by a tech first to see what the issue was. Frustating.. We were still paying for the service even though the alarm system screen was off/ not working. Recently canceled due to unsatisfactory service, spoke directly with customer service on the line. Alert 360 sent a confirmation email which we responded immediately with the appropriate requested information to disconnect the service which was previously paid month to month, after the contract expired we did not want to renew it. 2 months later after cancelation and still getting charged? Had to report unauthorized charges to bank. Stay away from this company. Horrible service.

Don’t use this company!!
This is the worst alarm system company. Please don’t use them!! We were going back and forth on if we should get a Ring doorbell or go through our alarm company and ended up getting one through alert 360. They scammed us into signing up for another 2 years. On top of that but the doorbell camera only worked for a month. We had someone come out and “fix” it but it never worked. We have since moved and didn’t take the unwilling doorbell camera with us obviously but we still have to pay for 2 years for something we don’t have and never worked. They wouldn't even work with us at all. Garbage company that only wants your money. Please don’t use them!

My mom had alert360
My mom had alert360. She passed away. I contacted this service to cancel her service. I get contacted today to say that her contract with the service was not up and her estate is responsible for paying the the remainder of her contract of 13 months. What a disgrace to tell the family that we are sorry for your loss but even though your mom has passed she is still responsible for the remainder of her service contract. That came from the office of CEO
UPDATE: AFTER READYING MY NEGATIVE REVIEW ALERT 360 RELEASED MY LATE MOTHER FROM HER CONTRACT.
