Amazing. I can't believe how much their customer service and just regular service is soooo different than ADT. Wish I would have known about them sooner, I would've switched way earlier. Really amazing and no charge for any service calls. I use them for vacation monitoring too and when my husband was out of town I had them come over and just patrol my house and yard at night to feel safer. Very happy.

BUYER BEWARE !!!!!! I met with one of their sales people and told him of my needs. He assured me that what I was buying would take care of things. The night vision on these cameras are not good enough to submit to the Police Department. Whatever......I fell for it and I have only myself to blame..... What I cannot deal with is the fact that I asked this person several times if there were any hidden extras. I was assured that there were not. I was shown that my contract required 2 payments. 1 for 50% down and the other 50% upon completion of installation. This was an absolute lie !!!!! 2 months later I received a bill for more money and my repeated phone calls to the sales person and Office Manager went unanswered. Even the promises from the billing department to look into things delivered no return phone calls. I am paying it today, because I am tired of their automated phone calls but these guys have absolutely no integrity at all.......
Description of Work: Installed 2 video cameras

Tony Geraets was the salesman. He was great and very thorough. Gene installed the alarms and Dan installed the cameras. One time the alarm went off at our beach house and they contacted me before to let me know the alarm was going off prior to calling the police. They have been wonderful to work with. We can monitor the houses from our I-phones and I-pad which makes me feel very secure. They weare excellent and I have recommended them to our neighbors.
Description of Work: We had monitored alarm systems installed at our two houses. We also had them install cameras.

Mario from Protection 1 did a great job helping us instal a security system in our new home. We had been referred to him by a colleague and are glad we were! First we scheduled an in house security evaluation and estimate. Mario walked through the entire house with me and made recommendations about what kind of system we should get to protect our home. He was responsive to my specific concerns and had good, informative answers to all of my questions. We decided to go with Protection 1 and the day of the instal was a breeze. Mario and his associate Gene showed up right on time and installed the entire system exactly as I requested in the amount of time that they estimated. At the end of the day the original estimate was the same as the final cost. I felt really good about working with Mario and would recommend him and Protection 1 to anyone who is shopping for a home security system.

Protection One haas been totally unresponsive to our complaint.
Description of Work: We were a customer of protection one for over 5 years. When we tried to cancel the service they did not acknowledge the cancellation and continued to bill us. They refuse to accept the fact that we did call and properly identify ourselves and at the time agreed to cancel. However, their customer accounts group now refuses to acknowledge the cancellation.

Called the national number and they told me the local people would get back to me within two days. They responded much quicker. The sales agent, Albert Morero, was great. He knows security systems well and takes the time to explain all the aspects of the products and services. Really no complaints. Albert even accomodated my schedule by coming a Saturday morning, early.
Description of Work: Needed a detailed overhaul of my existing security service including hardwiring many new windows and doors.

We wanted home monitoring from a security service. Protection One has been professional and punctual. We are able to program several different levels of security from our phones.
Description of Work: The amount quoted above is the monthly charge for home security monitoring service. I don't recall the cost of installation, but I've used this company at another location and thought they were reasonable and responsive to our needs.

So Now I call to complain and the operator says that there is no system to complain and what the repair man put in the computer is correct beyond doubt! All I can do is leave a message on the supervisors voice mail and it has been 4 days and no return call! So Now I have no satisfaction and no recourse. This system is getting old and now I believe that the company will rip me off every time I call with a problem. So now I need a new alarm system and I don't want anything to do with Protection One!
Description of Work: I have had a system from this company for almost 10 years and the system is getting old. I have a problem with the key pad and called a worker to come out and fix it. He came late and all he did was clean the key pad. It is working and it only took 20 minutes so I was happy but then I got the bill. A $95 fee for the first hour and $75 for the extra 1/2 hour and the extra work done put in the computer as replacing the battery and a sensor which he did not do.

Description of Work: I have had this alarm system for almost 10 years and I am having a problem with the key pad for the second time. The repair man comes and cleans the pad and it is working again and it took only 20 minutes. I am happy but then I get a bill for $95 for the first hour and $75 for the second half hour and the replacement of a sensor and battery, this work was not done.

They are good. They were previously a different company that was bought out by a bigger company. Their service is still great though. They gave me a 2 hour window when they would come and arrived right in the middle. The service guy was very nice.

The technicians and salespeople were very helpful, direct, prompt, and thorough. The video technician was especially knowledgeable and went out of his way to repair an existing problem. The alarm technician at first did not quite know what he was supposed to do, but quickly understood and did a perfect job.
Description of Work: Installed a cell phone component to our alarm; removed a faulty motion detector and replaced it with a dual-tech unit, both motion and infrared, in order to stop false alarms. Also investigated the system; tested all. Also planned to install a video camera and monitor, as well as get the other cameras working that had been installed.
