We checked several security providers, from the largest to some small, local providers, however in reviewing customer comments on line, regarding FrontLine, we made the decision to contact them. From the initial contact to installation, the process was very smooth, low pressure and we could not be more pleased with the results. Our "cabin" is a get-a-way haven, so we are not on site full-time, (yet) and this system has given us peace of mind, knowing we are able to monitor and adjust the system either with the smart phone or lap top, remotely. As a retired commercial insurance agent, we really appreciate the full support that FrontLine provides, and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a great organization to work with.

We have stopped using the system as we have followed directions for the motion sensor problem without success. It is upsetting to get calls about the alarm going off and it's always a malfunction. So the last two times we've just told them to ignore it. If it was a real break-in we would assume it was another false alarm. Nice people to deal with but a faulty system.

UPDATED: Sorry, I thought I was prompted to review my security system which is FrontPoint. As far as the site is concerned, it was informative and confirmed what I was hearing about FrontPoint... ============================== Switched from LifeShield to FrontPoint because I wanted a cellular based system and LifeShield's cellular module was out of stock for several months. I also wasn't thrilled their customer service. Interacting with the sales rep Alyssa over email was efficient and worked with my busy schedule. I like the fact I was able to talk to her on the phone after 6:00 p.m. PST to finalize the deal. The price was pretty good, a whole cellular based system for little more than half it would have costed me to get the cellular module from LifeShield. Setup was super simple but, couldn't call to activate late on a Sunday afternoon because the activation folks had gone home by 6:00 p.m. PST. Had to call them when I got home from work the following evening to activate. The sensors are easy to install and you can rename them to anything you want like "front door" or "kitchen window." I also got the smoke/fire sensor for added protection and the little remote so I can easily arm the alarm from another location. You can monitor and configure the alarm online which is nice and there are apps for both Android and iOS. Though I happy with the system for the most part and feel more secure because it is a cellular based system, there are a few features I missed that I had with LifeShield. I felt the console for the Lifeshield system to be more intuitive with buttons that said Away, Stay, and Instant. With Frontpoint, you have separate buttons for motion detectors and the door/window sensors. It didn't take too long to read the instructions but, hitting the door/windows button twice to arm the system with no entry delay is not intuitive at all. You can't arm the system instantly, it will always take 30 to 60 seconds for the alarm to arm. The customer service rep I communicated with said there is no way to instant arm the system. With LifeShield and the ADT system I used a long time ago both had the ability to instant arm the alarm. Lifeshield has a built-in answering machine and cordless phone that also served as a second console. That was really convenient and a very slick feature. It was nice having the cordless phone/console upstairs and being able to instant arm the alarm. This comes included with the system whereas you have to purchase an additional console from Lifeshield. However, I'm still glad I switched due to FrontPoint's much better customer service. I just feel they are much more responsive and courteous.

I have been looking around for a home security system and found myself putting it off due to all of the searching involved. I really enjoy the snapshot comparison feature on this website. It saves me a lot of time and I feel good seeing the ratings and reviews on one page. I like that I can sit on this one page and make all of my calls for quotes. There's also a lot of other information about what's new in the home security industry, so I can do my own home assessment and be much more involved in the decision making process. I'll recommend it to my friends.
