### 1/5 — Front point camera

*2026-08-15, version 5.13.2*

This thing has never really worked don’t buy it

### 2/5 — Droety

*2026-08-13, version 5.4.1*

Disappointing

### 1/5 — Absolute Garbage

*2026-08-13, version 5.13.2*

Full WiFi signal and  this P.O.S app still won’t disable my alarm.  Save your money and buy a dog. 
Frontpoint Sucks!

### 1/5 — No support offered

*2026-08-10, version 5.13.2*

I’m getting a new back door, so I need my sensor taken down and reinstalled.  There was no information via the AI help, the FAQ link doesn’t work, and there is no Support phone number offered to call for help.   
This is a really poor customer experience.

### 1/5 — Terrible Customer Service

*2026-06-29, version 5.13.2*

Scam. You can’t cancel, only by phone call and it takes a very long time to wait one the phone. Service gets upcharged without your approval and you can’t cancel because they make you wait forever on the phone until you give up

### 2/5 — New phone. App stopped working.

*2026-06-05, version 5.13.2*

Stopped working after upgrading phone. Frontpoint can’t find a solution.

### 2/5 — Not that great

*2026-06-01, version 5.13.2*

I have had these services now for 4 years and the app needs improvement especially when it can be hacked. Needs more levels of security added like security three layers. It needs to pick up cars from the street passsing by as well as people. They have improved the somewhat less but not enough.

### 1/5 — Inconsistent tech

*2026-05-27, version 5.13.2*

The app does not reflect the true state of the hardware settings. And there is no way to force the app to update. Terrible technology for an alarm system that charges this much and a false alarm fee due to inaccurate app/hardware readings will be expensive mistake that Frontpoint doesn’t seem to want to fix their system?

### 1/5 — Scummy

*2026-05-20, version 5.13.2*

Cancelling is like cancelling a gym membership. It requires multiple steps including a phone call and an email in which you have repeat an example prompt. It’s absurd.

### 2/5 — Poor communication

*2026-05-07, version 5.13.2*

I have had a Frontpoint system for years. Had no problem until recently. I had a thief in my home and went to check my camera to see who it was. Could not see any footage because I didn’t do an update which I was not informed about that I had to do. No email, phone call, text, nothing.  Even having called about checking my equipment working recently I was told nothing by Frontpoint. Poor communication on their part.
