Anthony was very sweet and installed our security system quickly and efficiently! He respected our property and I couldn't be more pleased!

SORRY, BUT I CAN'T RECOMMEND DFW SECURITY. I had existing alarm system and signed a 3-year contract only for the discount that I received on my homeowner's insurance policy. I can't / won't recommend them due to the sole fact that they refuse to release you from your contract in the event of a long-distance move. At the end of my second year, my fiancee and I moved out of the DFW area to another city several hours away. I would have been happy to transfer my service to our new address. Although DFW Security doesn't offer service in that market they refused to release me from my contract. I was given the option of 1) transferring my service to my new address 2) transferring the service and remaining balance of my contract to a friend or family member still in the DFW area or 3) transferring it to my previous home's new owner. Since none of those was an option, I ended up paying $252 to buy out the final 12 months of my contract. Most companies will release you from your service agreement without penalty if you provide proof of relocation outside their service area. Be warned that isn't the case with DFW Security. They're polite and make it easy to end your contract, but the entire process still left me feeling a bit put-off. read more

I am very disappointed with the service. This is a scam operation. You say one thing over the phone but you do not deliver when it comes down to the package you explain over the phone. Who wants just a pad on the wall? What about the monitor? I have a monitor in the hallway where nothing is hung up. But I have told my family members if anything happens to me take legal action. Stacy told me that it would be the monitor, and windows and doors along with the keypad. I cannot set the keypad. Is this a joke? I told her I was under a Protective Order from the courts. I need help. Not false statements. I could not set the key pad last night. What gives? Sharon Shepard, I am have been scammed I am disabled and have no real protection read more

Avoid DFW security like the plague. I asked for a quote from them in January 2021 and when I didn't go with them right away (or ever) the employee called and said that their "big boss" was there offering a "deal." I passed at the time and didn't go with them. Today, June 11, 6 months later, I got 6 phone calls from them 6! Telling me their "big boss" was in the office again offering deals. If the pricing was that good, they wouldn't have to play the "big boss" B.S. and they would give it to you. Everyone hates games like this, and these guys play the sales bait and switch hardcore. Find another sales model and employees who don't harass customers with 6 phone calls in one day. 2 calls at 1:11 (one hang-up and one left to voicemail) 2 calls at 1:43 (same as above) 1 call at 4:55pm Why would anyone want to deal with a company that out of the blue after 6mos blows up a phone call, plays the "I got a big boss card," for their home security? Surely there's better companies out there. read more

liars, scammers, and thieves do not go with this security company as they will rip you off! check the BBB reviews because Google is a bunch of fluff from new customers immediately after installation, praising their techs not the company's actual management and service. I made this mistake and I regret it highly! If I could give them 0 stars I would! I made the worst decision EVER inquiring about their service. I had been an ADT customer for almost 15 years and finally decided to look around. And it resulted in costing me in more ways than one. Do NOT TRUST THEM They will mark up every one of your items, so do your research. Get EVERYTHING in writing with the tech models and pricing included before you ever even agree to have them come out to your home. They will tell you...you have no rights. They will force you to decide the day you get the pricing and tech info or else you're stuck. JUST DONT DO IT! They recently took over $900 from my account UNAUTHORIZED and that's money I need for my children and family. I now have more damage to my home as a result of dealing with them and they put me in a harder financial situation by taking money from us thats not theirs. Choosing DFW security is The worst decision I could've ever made for us. Please don't make the same mistake there are MUCH BETTER options out there! go with another alarm.com vendor if that's what you love but don't choose this company they will overcharge you $1000's! read more

If I could give them zero stars I would. I sold my house over a year ago due to my partner being hospitalized and no longer being able to provide financial support in order for us to keep our home. When I called to cancel my service, DFW security stated that I still had one more year on my contract and I would still need to pay the full amount left on the contract. The option they gave me was to transfer my service to a different location, however, because of the medical bills and other financial constraints, I am currently living with my best friend until I get my feet back underneath me. The person on the phone gave me another option of canceling my service with a cancellation date of the day I called, but I would have to pay the full amount of the remaining year right then. Or I can do a cancellation date of the last day of the contract, but I would still be responsible for paying the monthly premium until then. Since there is no way, I could pay a year's worth of monthly premiums at one time, I elected to just cancel the service with the termination date being the last day of my contract. Now, a WHOLE year and two months later, I received a charge for service that is $10 more than the original premium-- reminder: all of this is for a house I sold and have not lived in for OVER A YEAR! Today, I asked the person on the phone, if I would be refunded for last month fraudulent premium charge since I canceled my service over a year ago and was told that the person I spoke with last year did not submit my cancellation, therefore they cannot refund my money from last month because it cost the company money to have to run and upkeep the service that was provided last month. WHY WOULD I CARE THAT YOU LOST MONEY ON KEEPING A SERVICE I CANCELED ON A HOME THAT I HAVE NOT OWNED OR LIVED IN FOR MORE THAN A YEAR? I HIGHLY advise that you stay away from DFW Security!!! SCAM artists! read more

Great Company and great equipment, the Tech was very friendly and reliable I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY!!!!

I really regret that I chose this company to service my business and residential security needs! Very unprofessional , rude and untrustworthy customer service ! After I've switched the internet carriers , my monitor display stoped connecting to WiFi, called to DFW security and told them about the issue, and also another mess that they left after installing the system (they left hole around the outlet, see the photos) they came finally after 10 days of my initial call and told me that the monitor is defective and needs to be replaced , and I told them to replace it , because it got broken after almost a month of their installation, and the answer from DFW security was that I need to pay an additional $400 to get it replaced, and I told them it's under the warranty, and the DFW security installation manager Daniel Dogba told me that I need to contact directly to the manufacturer for the free replacement!! Really?? The DFW Security is the distributor of the monitor, they advertise and install the monitor, but they don't want to cover the replacement under the manufacturer warranty?? In that case why they don't tell the customer upfront that that's case, when they're making a sales call to me , they've assured that everything parts and labor ) are under 1 year warranty!! What a lie! Based on my personal experience I highly don't recommend to use this company services, there are many better companies that they can serve your business and residential security services, needs in honest and more qualified manner. In Response to the Owners comments to our review, a licensed electrician was hired to extend the cable as the photo clearly shows our fridge will not open with it being installed in the original spot. Any issue we have is always responded by we don't have any availability for a technician to come out until 2 weeks later. How am I supposed to sell the items that are displayed in that fridge or are you implying that we shouldn't be using that fridge? Hence why we hired someone else to extend the wire (which mind you is literally two wires, something a trained ape could do) But blaming us for faulty equipment? Shame on you, if the panel did indeed "short" it would not turn on at all, but thats not the case, the wifi does not turn on nor is there radio signal, essentially making this panel worthless. I will be contacting my attorney if this isn't resolved one of two ways, come take your shotty equipment back and cancel our contract or come fix your equipment that you claimed had a 1 year warranty when you installed it. Instead of putting effort into downplaying our concerns you should be putting in effort to fix your mistake. Glad our review and your response is public so people can see what kind of business you are truly running. I will be updating our review with your techs "repair" of the hack job they did on our drywall. read more

I have dealt with them for several years. Used to be okay. Then my account was sold off without telling me. Yet they billed me as well as the new company monthly. They would refund me and say it was fixed. Couple months later it starts up again. Final straw is getting a text saying I owe two months payment because my card expired and they never called me or anything. They could spend the money and subscribe to the service that updates card expirations. The porch camera works fine until someone pushes the doorbell and then never connects. They fixed it three times and still never works. Return calls are rarely received. Finally I switched to ADT because they offer a discount to State Farm customers and they actually have equipment that works. They disconnected the DFW system and DFW never notified me they aren't getting a signal. Guess I could have been robbed and never received anything to tell me from DFW. Now DFW wants me to pay $600 to cancel yet they still owe me. Typical pay me for nothing. Good luck with getting it because I have documentation to show they have crappy billing and systems. I don't even want to give one star because they are that bad. But it says I have to. read more

They tried to bate and switch me to a higher plan and new installation after I clearly explained what I needed done for my alarm system installation with their Sales team. They completely wasted my Saturday and tried to take advantage of the situation after I had already shut off my service with my existing provider. read more

DFW Security - Security Systems Near Me - Fort Worth, Texas

DFW SECURITY is by far the best. Their cameras whistle and blink red anytime someone gets near my car! I can also talk thru my cameras instead of running outside to confront someone! This just happened recently!! read more

Still yet to resolve all the issues with DFW Security, if you are ready this I definitely recommend you do your due diligence a find another option. Day 2 read more

in reading some of these reviews, it doesn't do justice to the great company who has done my security for almost 10years!! Thry have been on top of every situation I have ever had, they have responded promptly to every call when our security has not been answered promptly, they have sent police out promptly if an issue has come up at our home and every email or call I've made for an update or repair on equipment has been done in a professionally and efficient manner! Staff answering calls couldn't be more patient and understanding! Case in point was a repair due to electrical storm and Dustin came out to our home, on time and had all repairs and equipment up in no time and made updates that had it working better than before!!! if you want Home Security you can totally depend on in all ways/ DFW is that Security!!!!! Judy Johnson read more

Horrible, horrible, horrible coany. Please look somewhere else. This company does not even do its own billing. I set up.my account via direct deposit and then they opened a loan with another company for the equipment and did not explain this to me. Then I got a collection notice from the equipment company. I called and explained to them that they did not properly explain the billing process and they said there is nothing they can do. This is by far the worst customer service I have ever delt with in my life and 105.3 FM should be ashamed of themselves for advertising them on the radio. read more

The system itself is fine. The sales and contract are not. They lure you in with a 12.95 have your whole home connected deal but by the time you have anything of substance it ends up being $50+ ( I have a doorbell system, one glass break sensor and 3 door alarms). In addition, the contract they get you to sign is 36 months with virtually no option out of it other than transferring to some other poor pathetic soul or paying it off, even if you move! Do yourself a favor. A ring is $99 on Amazon. And the cost of installing your own glass break sensors and camera system will pay for itself vs the money youll be forced to endure over 3 years. I have and will continue telling all my new home owning friends to avoid DFW Security. In this day and age, making people sign such ludicrous contracts with no viability to get out is incredible. read more

Beware of customer service and contracts! There is NO viable way to get out of the contract without paying for everything IN FULL or passing it along. It would be easier and cheaper to buy a Ring doorbell, pay $10 a month (no contract) for monitoring through Ring, and call it a day. That's what we are doing now. read more

Beware! I have been double billed twice for the monthly service. The first one was in March of 2021 and then again in now in June. They finally resolved the March extra billing but I had to prove to them of the billing error and send the statements because they did not believe me since they are incompetent and their system did not show the error. Today I contacted them this morning and have not heard back from them about the June error as expected. Stay tuned.... read more

I will tell you this has been a terrible experience with your company. You are unresponsive, incompetent, and seem to be making it up as you go along. We have tried for two weeks to get this transferred over with each time needing to do something different. There is no reason that can't be a transaction that can be completed in one day Do not use this company. read more

I would not ever sign up for this company again even if they gave me a year free. I was told that I would be able to get video clip sent to my phone through text message I am away from my house many days at a time and also out of the country and wanted text messages sent to me. After many months of being on the phone with T-Mobile alarm.com Apple and DFW Security no one can fix the issue and I cannot receive any video clips or thumbnails on my phone. I've had technicians out to my house many weekends in a row and no one knows what the problem is they won't allow me out of my contract even though the system doesn't work like I was told it would when I signed up. Save your money and go to a different alarm company read more

Has service with them before and tried to reactivate my service. They kept me on the phone for over 45 minutes to let me know they were going to charge me a 69.00 activation fee and 95.00 trip fee. Told them thanks for wasting 45 minutes of my time. I select another monitoring service. read more

Spent a lot of money to have new security cameras installed for my office and store. It has been 3 1/2 months and one of the cameras has failed. The cameras I'm being told has a 3 year warranty but I have to pay them $95 an hour to come out, take it off the building, take it away, bring back a replacement camera and put it back on the building. Or, I could stand on a ladder and take photos of the equipment while they walk me through troubleshooting the problem. The price sheet lists that they have a 90 day warranty on labor, well, weren't we fortunate that this happened 2 weeks after the labor warranty. Makes me wonder about the rest of their high quality with value equipment they installed. Go somewhere else with a better warranty on labor and better customer service. read more

Worst company and worse services. We just started a security monitoring services with them. They tried to sell us the protection plan for $10 addition to monthly services. We refused and the system died after 4 months. They refused to send someone to fix unless we pay $95 trip charge plus materials. The system had one year warranty but DFW refuses to honor it. We are going to pay the early termination fee and get out of the contract. Will never use this company again! read more

I spoke with a rep for DFW Security, he was very knowledgeable and spoke at length about his product and what I needed for my security needs. He spent about an hour of his time on the phone with me explaining and answering questions on their product. Well, I let him know I had to talk to my wife before I made any decisions that would put us into a long term contract. That's where the call went bad. He questioned my integrity. He gave me a hypothetical situation. He asked what if he could offer the equipment for free, would I give him a decision right there. I told him that would be nice but at the end of the day I had to speak with my wife about it. That is when he actually said that he was just trying to catch me in a lie by offering me the equipment for free and make a decision at that time without speaking to my wife. I would expect a business to respect my house rules when it comes to making decisions that will affect myself and my wife. At that point it was clear that I would never do business with anyone who handled their business in such a way. I found another company who gave me the respect to speak with my wife first. read more

It is seldom that I will go out of my way to recommend avoiding a business, but this is a true case of Buyer Beware. Firstly, the contract for DFW Security is for a three (3) year term which they are more than happy to sneak by you without your realization that you are committing to a third of a decade with one business partner. Think about that. You are committing to three years with a company whose quality you know nothing about, and should you decide that they do not provide the quality or service you feel the monthly cost warrants...tough noogies! They will not budge on the three years. I have a long a happy experience with Smith Thompson Security, known in the DFW metroplex as a leader in both residential and home security. They are, by far, the better choice for home or business. read more

Just don't do it. The service is basic and when you try to cancel after THREE years under contract you find out there was some sneaky fine print and they've already locked you into another year. No one mentioned that when they signed me up. And based on the reviews a lot of people miss it and they just don't care. This company does not care. read more

Steer away from this company. They try to entice you on the benefits and costs but then position a 3 year contract in front of you. When we discussed my apprehensiveness with a 3 yr contract as I cannot and would never proceed with such a long-term commitment, I was reassured that they would work with me based on the circumstances. Nine months later, I informed them of my move out of state and they said I would have to transfer it to someone else to have them take over my contract. In other words, sell their services to someone else or pay out the full 3 year contract. That was not discussed with me and it certainly is not a way to work with you on options should life events take place. I am taking legal action and reporting their practices. read more

We had nothing but issues with this company and our alarm isnt working still. The must not know how to use accounting program as they say I owe them but they have billed my amex 9 times this year. My system does not work and has never worked all the way. read more

Installer was friendly, knowledgable, and helpful. Their sales team, contract, everything involved with how their management handles their business is shady as heck. Agreed to a one year contract with the rep on the phone and when the installer arrives asks me whether I've signed the contract, well they never sent one. Then they send one, I sign it to get the system transferred and get back to work but they still are so incompetent that they need to resend it AGAIN so I click through it quickly to get moving and finally they can proceed with the transfer. Did not realize they switched the terms of the contract to be 3 year instead of 1 year. Shame on me for not thoroughly checking but they clearly try to pressure customers into longer contracts that you get locked into. So I'm fresh into a 3 year SCAM with DFW security. read more

Only choose them because the are a local DFW Company and the Fan told me I could trust them. But apparently they just wanted your contract so they could sell it off for a profit.

DFW Security - DFW does a lot of work in local businesses. Great company - Security Systems Near Me - Fort Worth, Texas

If I could give zero stars I would. I have had nothing but trouble with this company since it was installed. It's never truly worked.

Do not get I'm under contract with them biggest fraud ever. read more

So, we are 8 months into a 3 year contract and my husband is being transferred to another state, which they are unable to transfer my service to since they are local only. Even though they are unable to keep their end of the agreement by providing me service, they are still expecting me to pay for it. If one party doesn't keep their end of an agreement, it voids the agreement. Thankfully Dallas has a lot of good lawyers who understand basic law. read more

Hey DFW friends, if you are looking for a security system for your house, give DFW Security a call! We Just had the guys from DFW out to install a security system for us. They did a great job of customizing a great system for our needs including multiple cameras around the house that record live video day and night. Really like all the features and ability to check in on the house while we are away and know that everything is ok....also not going to find a nicer family that owns/runs the show. They stand behind their products and make sure it is worth putting on the market by trialing it out first on their own home and working the kinks out to ensure you are getting the best in town! read more

The company has poor customer service. Just buy the same product online, download an app and pay only one time! Don't do it!!

DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH DFW SECURITY. When new windows were installed, their guy came to install new sensors. He do so incorrectly and left a mess. Took months to unravel. THEN, they sold off our contract with a list of contracts with no notification to Select Security -- not local monitoring or any of the reasons we chose DFW Security. It was a mess of run-around getting that settled and being released from contract, etc. Now, 18 months later, we've been turned over to a debt collector for $1800 in "past fees." AVOID THEM AT ALL COSTS. SHADY. read more

DON'T DO IT! We have had this security system for over two years and we have never once been able to access video or use the ring doorbell. We have had technicians come 5 + times and nothing has changed. They were here so long each time that we thought they might move in. It truly has been a nightmare that we have not, thus far, been able to resolve. They are still charging us and have made no effort to help us. Disappointed is an understatement. read more

Horrible service. They claim that you sign a 12 month agreement upon setup, then tell you its 36 months when you try to cancel because of their product/services not working correctly. Their app does not work with the products they install. I was told that I would have to pay for repairs on my system when I have done absolutely nothing to cause it not to work. I would not recommend this business to anyone. They are not even accredited by the Better Business Bureau due to the complaints they have received. read more
