minor issues not related to security

I really wish the app had a panic button. I did get the key fob for free with my installation, but I have misplaced it.
The Installation was good, except the person installing called me hun(sweetie, dear), touched my back, came way too close and asked me for my pin code more than once, when he should have just asked me to input it while he turned away. I was quite uncomfortable and I made sure to change my pin after he left, the first and second time. (he had to come back and move the motion sensor because it was not detecting motion, even though he ensured me it would)(so now I have holes drilled in two places of my rented home's walls that I will have to fix)

Other than that I've had no issues, It seems to work well, detects motion, I've even accidentally set my alarm off a couple of times and the response from the unit was quite intimidating. I love that they don't charge for installation, and standard equipment.

Alarm Force System for our Home

Absolutely amazing service. We had the system installed the week of July 16, 2017. Our installer DAVE, who is Irish was super efficient, able, and gave us above an beyond service. He was very educated on the systems, he knew what needed to be done. We would never have anyone else in our home but him!

Alarm force certainly has professionalism, and customer service as their priority. We were really pleased with Dave. If anyone is looking for simple, easy, excellence in customer service ALARM FORCE is your avenue.

Thanks so much guys!

Alarm service

This is corporate beast that keeps taking your money and offers terrible service. I had a break and enter a few years back and alarm force Called my old home phone number from two previous moves despite the fact that they had my cell number the whole time. They did not bother to follow up or call me about it! I found out from my land lord who accidentally let a contractor in. On top of this you cannot cancel with them. They make it really hard to end your contract and have been sued repeatedly for this problem in the states. Google it. It's all there!

Front Door Camera Constantly Breaking

Alarm force techs are efficient and knowledgeable and when we call we get great service but the camera on the front door has stopped working 3 times now. We've already had it replaced once and had the replacement reset. Less than a week later, it fails on and off. Tradesperson came to the front door andc I couldn't answer in time because I couldn't communicate with them because the speaker failed. Video stream cuts out a lot. The whole purpose of the alarm was to have a front door camera. Therefore, it does not seem to be working out. Also, part of this package included an in-house camera that we asked to opt-out from installing because it creeps me out to have a camera in my living room. They said it was manditory.

Alarm Force

I called Alarm Force to add smoke detectors to my exiting alarm package. I was so impressed with the customer service. The agent was so friendly and very knowledgeable. I didn't even ask for a deal but he let me know that since I'm a long time customer, they would give me 50% off and waive the installation fee. They'll also change the batteries in my alarm sensors. That is the best customer service I've received in as long as I can remember. Alarm Force is incredibly reliable, respond quickly, have excellent prices, and value their customers. I will never switch from Alarm Force and highly recommend them to anyone.
