  • App opens slowly

    If it was really an emergency, the app isn’t reliable.
  • AWFUL!!!

    WORST CAMERAS EVER!!!! Not worth the time or money. DO NOT PURCHASE!!! Very clearly cheap cameras and the app does not connect properly
  • It’s a scam.

    I never signed a contract and was told this would be a very low payment with my other subscriptions. Someone I’m still paying for it after I no longer live in the house and I can’t get rid of it until 2025.
  • Edit-

    Okay after having the app a while, there are a few things I realllllly hope you add/change soon. I want more options for notifications within the app itself and for each camera. For instance, I don’t want a notification every 30 minutes at night when a moth flies by my driveway camera. But I don’t want to have to turn off the notifications all together within my phone’s settings. And I would love a separate notification with sound all together when someone rings the doorbell. Like, I want my phone to chime when that happens. With its own individual sound. Also, in the “activity log”, when I set an alarm or turn it off, it simply says “user logged in”. I’d love for it to be a little more descriptive by saying “set alarm away” or “disabled arm stay” for more information to refer to. Seems like it’s people on here complaining about the company itself - which isn’t where that kind of review belongs to start with - and a lot of reviews seem to be total rubbish in general. The app is decent. There’s definitely some bugs and such that could be improved but overall, it’s simple to use and gives me what I need. It does support Face ID. Allows me to view all cameras together on a single app (although sometimes it seems to have a hard time connecting to the equipment). I can take video, screenshots and talk via the cameras. Hopefully there will be more updates in the near future to address some of the small issues.

  • Why do I have to keep signing in??

    Okay so the app is okay overall but there’s like a 3 second delay for the camera notifications. The most annoying thing is that I have to sign in every time I get a notification. No matter how many times I select ‘remember me’, it still doesn’t. The app also needs an update that includes face recognition with the iPhone. Like at the very least, developers need to do something because it’s really inconvenient

  • Not worth it

    The app barely worked. Cameras would take up to 5 minutes to load if it loaded at all. Some days only one of three cameras would load after 10 minutes of trying. It never sent alerts when there was monitor detect in either my mothers or mine phones. Not worth it.
  • Push notifications

    I just got the system and I am disappointed that the push notifications don’t work. I am not aware if anyone pops up at my door or my back camera. I hit allow notifications and I am not receiving any notifications. What else do I need to do or can this be fixed? Thank you. Well I just called technical support and she was very helpful and I got the issue resolved. Can you please add that when the notifications pop up that when yoy hit the notification that it automatically give you the “right now” video in real time so that time have not elapse between the notifications and you actually seeing the video.

  • Bad reviews aren’t indicative of this company’s service

    I recently got a really great and affordable package from Alder. The sales rep (Shelby) was incredibly professional. Very low pressure sales, just gave me basic information and how it compared to other security companies. The tech showed up within 15 minutes of signing up and installed everything right away. He (Aleck) was incredibly professional as well. The tech even came back to fix an issue I had a couple of days later (issue was on my end, not theirs.) Even today when I had issues figuring out how to navigate the app, customer service was on point and made sure that my issues were resolved ASAP. I’m in Arkansas, and I would highly recommend this company. I feel a lot safer, and sleep a lot better at night. Kudos to the Central Arkansas team!!
