Tattletale Portable Alarm SystemsReviews of tattletale.com

System generally is good and operates well. There has been one complaint from the guards who monitor the base station. They say you cannot control the volume of the audible alarm. They wish you could control it due to the base station being right on the desk next to them.

The system works very well and we are pleased with the equipment. The trouble I have is with customer service and routine maintenance.

Great portable alarm system!

I like the Tattletale alarm system. It is user friendly and the company is easy to work with. My only complaint is that the monitoring cost should be the same as Simply Safe. Otherwise, it is perfect.

I have 2 units. The High Performance unit we use at our farm and the home unit at our house. We had the farm unit for about 10 years with very few problems. I think it's the best. Our home unit is also very good. We have an occasional lost signal on some of the motion detectors, I think it's the cell signal that causes it but we are still very happy with the unit.

Selection of equipment needed was a little troublesome at the start but it got worked out, then the monitoring company had issues. Problems were addressed to my satisfaction and we have had no problems since. I will continue to use Tattletale and would recommend them to anyone that has something to protect. It is so simple to set up and operate it is almost to good to be true.

As a company I think you can trust them. I had good experiences with their customer service. That said, their flagship product leaves a lot to be desired. Many aspects of the device cannot be configured via the online portal. I also had many false alarms on the main unit (due to light? bugs? I could never find out). I would also like to see cameras that connect to the main unit., When I get a alarm I would like to be able to see a picture of what the room looks like at that time. I felt so helpless not knowing what was going on. I ended up selling the house. So one star is removed from the rating due to there not being clear documentation on known limitations of the alarm system.

Things seem to work well, even though I have limited cell service at one location. Had some issues with false alarms from one unit I use all the time. They took care of it for me. I was having same issues with another unit which I only use when on vacation. Hope they take care of it. Everybody does a good job, and answering service is prompt.
