Alarm.com Omdömen 

I have alarm.com systems in both my Florida and lake house residences. I feel very confident in the security monitoring coverage at both locations. I can’t say enough in support of Alarm.com and if allowed I would give more than 5 stars ratings

Alarm.com was not the cause of my troubles but they were a part of the solution! The emailed response to my issue showed genuine concern as well as an understanding of the problem. Through this response I was able to resolve the issue. It would be great if I could receive the same service from the security company that is supposed to be protecting my family.

Alarm.com has Absolutely
Five Star 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Customer Service! I needed help with changing my Wi-Fi connection and Alarm.com made it very easy! I also really love their new 2 way voice camera and doorbell. With Great Equipment and World Class Customer Service I will always be a customer of Alarm.com!!

My husband and I are long time customers of this amazing company! We have been using their system and has never experienced major issues with it. Their customer service is incredible as well. Highly recommend this company!

We have been a customer of Alarm.com since 2007 for good reason. The system has worked brilliantly for us over the years. Alarm.com have always been on top of any issue, helping us upgrade and to resolve any problem with the system which have been minimal. Even informing us of an issue we were unaware of via phone call. One of the longest vendor relationships we have had with our home for good reason.

Love the fact you can have externally monitored or self monitored system. The self monitored is a much better option for us than any monitored system as we can have alerts sent to the family. If we do not respond, the system can be configured to notify our neighbors who we have asked to check in on the house from afar and contact authorities if necessary.

We had the option to pay for setup or self setup as well. Self setup was pretty easy and they are constantly improving the sensors and options. The app and website are very robust with so many configuration, automation and notification options.

Ultimately, while the quality of the system is excellent, the most important fact for our longevity has been the superb customer service over the years and why Alarm.com is our longest vendor relationship that is not a monopolized utility.

EDIT: Thank you Jess - I am not an electrician, so I will not post the solution. I also won't change my review as it is ludicrous practice from this company.

As others have reported, I want to start this review out by stating that I would absolutely give this company 0 stars or even negative stars as they have been an absolute nightmare to work with. Please read the entirety of this review before even thinking about contacting this company and putting yourself at risk.

I am no stranger to smart devices and was asked by my mother to help fix her thermostats for this upcoming winter as they were "capped" at 65 degrees Fahrenheit. After contacting her previous service provider, her current service provider, and alarm.com customer support twice, I couldn't believe the immensity of the problem that was occurring. My mother had her furnace replaced her old local service provider who utilized alarm.com for her new thermostats, which were all paid for and installed (at a mark up, as others have stated). She was given an alarm.com account in order to utilize the mobile application/etc., which alarm.com confirmed twice over the phone existed.

Herein lies the MAJOR issue - my mother "capped" the heating through the application/account at 65 degrees to limit the heating consumption at the time (this was towards the summer months). During this time she changed local service providers and the thermostats continued to work - great. However; when contacting alarm.com regarding the issue of not being able to raise the heat any higher, we were told that we needed to contact both our old and new local service providers to fix the issue. Alarm.com support staff told us that they can see the account, can verify it existed with the old service provider, but is not active with the new service provider. We were told they cannot give us any information regarding the account, cannot make any changes, and if we would like to speak with a supervisor it could be weeks.

Calls to the new service provider indicated they do not utilize alarm.com's services - GREAT. However; this meant having to contact the old service provider as alarm.com staff told us in no uncertain terms that they do not handle these issues. Through these phone calls, we learned that the local companies seem to be using third party security companies in order to access alarm.com's services and provide them to the consumer. Both the old service provider and one alarm.com employee stated that this is a major known issue and has been a significant complaint from customers. The old service provider is in the process of helping to rectify this issue as I believe they are no longer using alarm.com, and the fact that this company that is no longer providing services to her house is willing to do this clearly indicates more red flags.

Going back to the "capping" of the temperature - let's say it was summer and the heat happened to be turned down significantly lower - alarm.com CANNOT and WILL NOT fix this. You are a prisoner of their application and, if you are unable to access your account (which in this case happened based on a change in service providers locally) you cannot change the settings you may have previously set. She was unable to get her old account, a new account, or any help whatsoever from alarm.com and was told this is something that must be done through the local provider. Again, there appears to be a security firm in between the local provider and alarm.com as when you go to their website and search for local services, only security companies exist as options.

As we continue to troubleshoot this, I felt the need to write this extensive review to warn anything even remotely thinking about using alarm.com's services to read the horrendous reviews regarding their technology and their customer service. It is truly appalling and the fact that they wish to wash their hands clean of this and only respond to 3-5 star reviews obviously throws up more flags. This practice should be illegal and I will either update or write another review upon learning more information regarding this "security company" that leaves you feeling extremely secured out and clearly has no concern for you feeling as though you are secured in. Abject regret would be the best way to describe how you will feel if you spend one penny on this company, or allow your local provider to install anything from this company.

I do not trust anything about the security of this company, especially after learning that this is not new, is not something the company wishes to address, and clearly the safety and comfortability of the people who use their products does not matter to them. Do not use their services - I am sorry if you do.

I've been with Alarm.com for many years. Started with the old Concord panel. You have always been there for me in advising on new products, helping with install, setting up the system, and parts support. Customer service is always courteous and professional AND most of all technically proficient! Love you guys!!

I have been an alarm.com customer for many years. As a "direct" customer, I designed and installed my home system. It not only provides security, but also allows me to control HVAC, lights, fire and flood protection. With the help of ADC, I've increased the capabilities of my system over time.

To accomplish and maintain my system, I have had to rely on Alarm.com products and their customer support. The products are state of the art, and their support is pretty close to perfect. They have sent me instructions when I've needed them, and have spent hours on the phone with me, diagnosing special problems.

I truly appreciate them greatly - it's like they are part of my family.

We have been customers of Alarm.com since the 1980’s. The technology and customer service provided have been cutting edge all through the years. We moved our residence to a new state and took the security system with us. I would recommend Alarm.com wholeheartedly to anyone.

I'm always happy using support from Alarm.com. They're helpful and willing to work with me until the problem is fixed.

I have been with Alarm.com for over 20 years now I believe. I can say that they simply have the best customer support team in the industry. They actually listen to you, work with you and do ewverything in their power to find a solution or make it right. I rarely write reviews but felt this one was important.

Alarm.com treats us "direct" customers well when we have problems with our service.

Do NOT subscribe to this company or use their products. The system has been our house for 5 years now. I now see why it was FREE Equiptment with a 3 year contract. The Equiptment never worked properly. Every time the tech came out they charged us. AND every time they recommended a new piece of Equiptment to fix the issue. New Door bell the first time, Signal Extender the next, New Panel the next, Now on our 3rd door bell and it still does not work. The "TECH" installed a new doorbell, unhooked the chime inside and told me "I GOT YOU, YOUR GOOD TO GO" He unhooked the power to the chime and took it down. Then put up a door bell with no power running to it. Said I should hire an electrician to power it. He said I probably have a broken with in the wall, so he unhooked the power. the door bell power lines have worked for 17 years until we installed FLUENT now Alarm.com.
He said the "TECH" who came out the week before was wrong. I asked about the chime. He said I could get a digital one. I asked him to write down one compatible so I could buy it. He wrote down " buy one campatible with alarm.com on Amazon" REALLY??? Currently I have a non working doorbell with no power running to it, again.
8/19 UPDATE
Yet another tech just left. He tried a new module on the interior door chime. it did nothing. He git rid of that and wired the chime straight to the door bell camera. The interior chime and transformer got super hot and started to have a burning smell. Yes, the transformer is new and the exact one recommended for the door camera and chime. So, we disconnected the power and I removed the entire chime and transformer. He recommended buying the micro usb to hard wire the door bell to an out let. $150. It's only 3 foot long so would need to be extended he said. I could do it or a tech could come out for $125 to install it. Also There is no comparable digital interior doorbell chime. So we will still not have a chime. So, I said hold off Because I would rather put that $275 to buy out my contract. I have not done that yet but I'm considering it. It's completely unacceptable that the system does not work, that can't fix it, charge me $125 to keep sending a "tech" out who cannot fix this system HOWEVER will not let us out of this contract. This system DOES NOT WORK.

Who would be to blame for the doorbell camera overheating, rarely working, and not responding when I try to see live activity through the camera? Additionally, someone will activate the doorbell, I'll open the app to see who it is/talk to them, and I receive a message that the doorbell isn't accessible. Is this a product issue or somehow a provider issue? I can tell you that the provider charges me every time they are called out to fix an issue. What's frustrating is that this particular issue isn't one that I created AND, after having them come out here to fix it, the issue persists. There apparently is nothing wrong with it.

This is not so much a review as it is a statement, a long one.

Full disclosure, I am an Alarm.com Dealer and sell their services to any of my clients looking for services they provide.

From what I am reading, it is painfully obvious that people are conflating Alarm.com with their actuall Alarm company.

Let me explain as simply as I can. ABC Alarm Corp. installs Alarm systems and uses a central station to monitor the alarm systems they install for clients.

Now Alarm.com is a 3rd party or you could say a 4th if your counting.

Alarm.com provides interactive services that a client can add to their Alarm system, such as an app that enables clients to remotely arm and disarm the very Alarm system they bought from ABC Alarm Corp.

Connecting your alarm system with Alarm.com in addition to a central station gives the client tons of remote services like remote arming, remote locks and tons more no need to list as you can look up for yourself and it's irrelevant to my comment.

Alarm.com is not your Alarm Company, just as much as it is not your Central Station.

If you have an issue with the equipment that an alarm company installed and the service or lack of service that company provides after you paid them, your complaint or blame should be placed on them not the 3rd and 4th parties who only get signals from the equipment your Alarm company installed and programmed.

In short, write your negative reviews at the website of the actual company who you paid to install your alarm, ABC Alarm Corp. not the company who can't control the service you get from The Alarm Company you hired.

Absolutely the worst experience I have ever had with any company. We moved in our new house on 3-3-22. As of 4-1-22 (today) it has not worked properly not even 1 day, on the 1st day that nothing worked including my thermostat for over a week, finally a week later a tech finally shows up and proceeded to tell me that everything was a few generations behind and wont work properly, after he said everything he could do as he's walking out my door and i asked him about the thermostat and he's says oh I can't fix that you need to call a ac company to look at because the person that disconnected your service shorted out the system wich was Northstar/ Alarm.com (there own company, and it was actually the same tech that had disconnected the system and shorted it out. I called a AC company who I paid to come out same day and connected it. Northstar said they would pay for it but never did i was at my ropes end and told them to cancel the service, where they proceeded to threaten us, that we would be responsible for the 2 year contract $1700 what a bunch of swindlers!! They said that they would replace the old faulty system with new components wich they did but still didn't work (unbelievable) just got off the phone with tech support. My complaints today are, the garage open close feature doesn't work. The tech that was out the last time disconnected my master smoke alarm because it keep going off said he was going to come back but didn't (so no smoke alarm) my door bell is going off with no one there at took along time to bring up the video/audio app. We have never been able to talk to anyone or for that matter see someone standing there because they were already gone. Pretty pathetic right? I called tech support to another frustrating end. It seemed like we were having 2 separate conversations when he said ok thank you if anything else comes up give us a call. He hadn't fixed anything. I'm going to complain to the BBB and maybe 3 on your side news . I want it disconnected, my money back that I paid the AC company and not be charged anything for there horrible alarm system.

This has to be the most unreliable system that I have owned. I purchased the Alarm.com system through AAA Smart home approximately 15 months ago. I have spoken to support which has not been any support at all, and I’m finally fed up and changing. The cameras rarely work and the troubleshooting feature doesn’t do much either. Avoid and explore or systems. Make sure that whatever system that you purchase is not supported by Alarm.com

Absolute worst alarm system company ever.

Do NOT get this system

Our doorbell camera will not work. We have had someone out here numerous times and it doesn't stay "fixed" for more than a few weeks. When we discussed with rep that it is a problem and what will be done his suggestion was take it down. Uh no. Fix it. Tried getting a supervisor and nobody has contacted us back.

Just a continued nightmare for the last year and the thing still isn't working.

Get a ring doorbell and your own cameras. Do not waste your money!

Alarm.com does suck. Their contact plates fall off before their first year is up, the cameras only work if you upgrade, their devices are cheap, and the customer service is terrible! Run...don't walk, RUN!!!
