Likely the most dishonest and lazy company I have ever dealt with…read more First, they lied about the contract length on the phone. The rep who signed us up was "very helpful," but misled us into believing the 5-year term was for "financing" only -- not a contract -- and that we could cancel anytime. Dishonest right out of the gate. When I called back to ask about it, the rep said, "It's not what was said on the phone, it was in the contract." A company with real integrity, apparently. The service side is just as bad -- absolutely lazy. After the initial install, I tried multiple times to reach my local rep about adding some other options. Crickets. A year later, we needed service to reinstall part of the system. The technician, Tom Frank (badge #2520), was completely uninterested in helping. We had 6 sensors already wired to the panel that just needed to be mounted -- two screws each, one ladder, maybe an hour's work. He said he only had 1.5 hours, then canceled the entire appointment rather than mount even one sensor, leaving my family unprotected. I intend to report them to the CFPB for misleading financial sales tactics, and to the BBB and every review site I can find. Fair is fair. To be balanced: the cameras themselves are great.

After nearly 20 years as a SafeTouch customer, I never expected my relationship with the company to…read moreend this way. I called to temporarily pause my monitoring service while our home is being remodeled. After waiting on hold for about 20 minutes and being transferred to a cancellation specialist, I was told that pausing service wasn't an option. When I asked about canceling and restarting once the remodel was complete, I was informed that I would have to pay the remaining balance of my contract. The problem is that I didn't even realize I was under a contract. In 2024, after my system lost its connection and SafeTouch was no longer monitoring my home, I was told my equipment needed to be upgraded to restore service and that the upgrade would be free of charge. What I wasn't aware of was that the paperwork I signed also extended my contract through 2029. After spending even more time on the phone, I decided to cancel anyway, even though it cost me approximately $1,400. To add to the frustration, after all of that, I was told I still had to send an email requesting cancellation before they could process it. I've been a loyal customer for almost two decades, and this experience was incredibly disappointing. A company should value long-term customers and be transparent about contract terms, especially when presenting something as a "free" upgrade. Unfortunately, because of this experience, I can no longer recommend SafeTouch.

I'm writing this because today's interaction with Atlantic Security was so unprofessional that it…read moregenuinely shocked me. Months ago, I called Atlantic for a quote on a system. I decided to keep researching, because unlike many customers, I don't jump into expensive security decisions blindly. After doing extensive research, I determined that the DSC NEO system was the right fit for me. I contacted Atlantic Security again and requested a quote specifically for the NEO. The quote came back at over $5,000, which was unnecessarily high, so I declined politely. A few months later, I purchased the DSC NEO directly from Tyco Integrated / Johnson Controls--the manufacturer. Today, I called Atlantic Security to inquire about installation and monitoring. Instead of receiving normal customer service, I was spoken to with a snarky, condescending attitude by a representative named Laina. She told me they were "not interested in doing business with me" and that I had "wasted their time multiple times." This is completely unacceptable. Comparing prices, researching equipment, and ensuring I make the right decision on a multi-thousand-dollar security system is not "wasting time." That is called being a smart consumer. These are major decisions--not impulse purchases. Here's the part Atlantic clearly didn't bother to consider: My father's company is a major corporation with multiple homes, buildings, and commercial sites--every one of which is secured and monitored. He is one of Atlantic Security's largest clients. In addition: I personally own a large technology company, and the amount of future business Atlantic could have received from me alone is something they clearly can't even begin to fathom. Because of the disrespect I experienced from one representative, Atlantic Security has now jeopardized--and likely completely lost--two major long-term clients representing a massive amount of revenue. All because of one employee who chose to speak to a customer with rudeness, attitude, and zero professionalism. I will be filing a formal BBB complaint. At minimum, Atlantic Security needs to retrain or reassign Laina, because speaking to paying clients or potential clients that way is unacceptable in any industry--let alone the security industry. Congratulations, Atlantic Security. In a single phone call, you managed to lose a tremendous amount of business from two extremely large companies
