Stay away
Stay away I am generally not a fan of bad reviews, but in this case, I would like to protect anyone from being in my situation. As said in other reviews, they scam you into an agreement with no way out and no guarantee that the equipment will work or that they will be able to render the services they are charging for. When contacting customer service, I was told this is a DIY company and you are responsible for making sure the service is active and functional. My panel was apparently not sending a signal due to a tower upgrade and despite installing the new 4g card, it remained inactive for an entire year before the issue was resolved, all of which I was billed for. When I expressed my displeasure with the service and asked not for my money back, but to end the contract early, they offered to "let me buyback the contract at a 25% discount" charging me hundreds of dollars to cancel. Elyse from customer service was rude, dismissive and dishonest. With my last contract, she offered a new panel and instead sent a computer card that I had to install myself and once installed didn't even work. I spent hours on the phone with customer service troubleshooting to finally had to mail the panel back for repairs. I do not recommend this company. Look elsewhere for your home security if you love your family.

Hello Gina, Being a DIY service, our account holders do need to preform maintenance checks on their systems. However, we do provide notices for issues as well. On your Security panel there is an error banner, and on the app, there is an error notification. Our monitoring center will call you when the system stops signaling, and we will call if those notices go unchecked and the issue persists. Which was the case in January of 2023 when we first started reaching out to you about your need for the 4G upgrade. We offered the new agreement to you at that time in exchange for this upgrade and you agreed to a 3-year agreement at a lower monthly rate, a free 4G module, which was sent in March 2023, and one free month of service. We called again when the new module had not been fully installed as a call is required to activate it. We performed a free overnight flash and install of that module for you when we were able to reach you. I do see that earlier this last year, we reached out due to a poor signal and worked with you on suggestions to strengthen that. We are always happy to help troubleshoot and have a 3-year warranty on your equipment if unable to find a solution. Your system is currently up and running and has been signaling to us for several months. The most recent error that was reported was from March 2024, which we were speaking with you about over email at that time. I understand that the requirement to fulfill the agreement sent last year for the free equipment, lower rate, and free month, has caused your dissatisfaction. We do offer to cover 25 percent of the buyout to help with these situations. Thank you for your understanding.
