Horrible

Bad service

Horrible Service

Worst Company ever. Long wait times when calling and there equipment starts to fail and break down so they can charge you for replacements. Can’t wait until I can cancel my plan.

Door camera

Been waiting for 3 month for tech to come out. They keep. Changing days now they are trying to come when I am at work . Telling them my hours so change day but same hours , supposed to call me back been 3 days tried to e mail call text nothing. And I am stilll having to pay for what I can’t use

Worst Security Company and App

App crashes, has frequent errors, minimal features, unusable video play back - for company review I would rate -5 . Install was garbage, system is none functioning, tech installed cameras by plugging them in just below the cam outside. That defeats the purpose. Support is difficult to work with. They’re based overseas and English is a barrier.
