The company is in Fayetteville but they have a location in Wilmington. Overall, highly recommend this company for a home security system.

Recently they sold out to a national conglomerate and I quickly became a number. It was a bear trying to get through to anyone that knew anything. I would continually get transferred from person to person to person and never got anyone that could resolve an issue for me. I always paid annually in advance and it was time for renewal. That said I migrated to another company that's family owned and couldn't be more pleased.

I decided to find an updated security solution with another provider. After looking at reviews for local security service providers, Iwatch Security stood out based on their consistently high reviews. I reached out to them in late Aug 2023 for an evaluation and estimate. I was soon contacted by a sales rep/advisor and we made an appointment within a couple of days. The rep evaluated my home and current system and prepared a solution with some upgrades (a doorbell camera, enhanced control panel, system controllable with phone app, etc.) and investment/purchase options. I accepted the system proposal and an installation was scheduled. The technician came and did a great job replacing my prior system with the new components. Wherever possible, he placed new components in the place of old components which minimized aesthetic issues. Afterwards, he efficiently went through the required forms, account setup, and other administrative tasks. He guided me through using the new control panel and app while also configuring some of the basic functionality. I have been very pleased with my experience with Iwatch Security.

Had problems with central station not calling us when we tested the alarm. We reported that many times to them. We had another similar incident and they sent out workers to check the panel. Turns out the alarm system was wired wrong to begin with, which THEY installed. They sent us a bill for $100 bill for coming out. When I spoke to management about that because it was their wrong wiring that did cause all the problems, the manager, named Jeff, said, "well, when your car breaks down, you don't expect the dealer to fix it. If you don't like it, you can find another company." And that's exactly what we did.

Safewatch Security

My home came pre-wired by Safewatch security so I chose to give them a try. What a disappointment…read more I was charged $181.00 for the install and the first month and a half of monitoring. Now lets rehash all of the issues... My originally installed touch pad was not working and they had to go and take one from another residence. After the new was installed the downloads and testing was performed on the system and all seemed fine. ( For accuracy, the system came with smart home technology for control of the front door, hvac, two cameras, one of which was the doorbell cam, three door contacts and a motion detector with police, fire and 24 hour monitoring ). The second installed touch pad had an issue with its ability to connect to a cellular tower, I was told that the signal was the weakest allowable and if I wanted to approve on it I would have to purchase another one. Red flag. The very next day neither camera was working. I called the owner and he said that he'll try and trouble shoot them but to no avail. No mention of returning to check on the issue. Red flag. At that point I decided to cancel the agreement. The number to call on the letter head was out of service. Red flag. The cancellation agreement states that "You may cancel this transaction, without any penalty or obligation". I guess not returning my $99 doesn't fall under the " without penalty" clause. Stay away there are way more ethical and professional companies available.

I filed a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission's military consumer site at…read morehttps://www.militaryconsumer.gov/report-scam; NC State consumer protection agency; and North Carolina BBB. First two organization moved my complaint with other complaints for ADT while the last one turned out to be as useless as the Safewatch Security / ADT. Upon moving into my house in 2016, Safewatch sales person contacted me and offered their services. I was shopping for a security system and contemplating between CPI and ADT. After reviewing online, I asked for ADT Pulse with alarm monitoring, ability to a video monitor, lock/unlock doors, and turn on/off the lights. I have the sales person's business card with his handwriting, which states "0" dollars cost to you for the equipment, installation, and activation of the services. However, when we wrote the contract, he wrote ADT pulse + glass break sensor + control panel + cameras. I was under the impression that These were the items that I would be getting in addition to the ADT pulse I asked for. After the installation, I did not see any window sensors or automated locks. When I asked the installer, he stated this is everything I will be receiving. I contacted the salesperson to rectify the issue, but he said that is all I would get based on my contract. As I was trying to explain to him that there is a misunderstanding, he raised his voice and talked to me in a condescending manner, and called me a liar. I called the company and spoke with the owner, who was way more professional than the salesperson. The owner of the company offered compensation by waving the company's profit and labor cost for what the salesperson has told me the equipment and services I would be receiving, but at that point, I just wanted to cancel my contract and avoid any future interactions with the company. However, I was told that my three days gross period for cancellation was over and they can not cancel my account without charging me the cost of the contract, which was about 2,150.00 + tax. This was the day after they complete my installation, which I became aware of the issues, but the contract was signed ten days ago and the gross period for cancellation started on the day of contract signing not the day of installation completion. I called the ADT customer service, but they were way more ignorant than the Safewatch salesperson. ADT customer service refused to transfer me to a supervisor and intentionally disconnect the service multiple times "while transferring my call." At any rate, all this was happening as I was preparing to go overseas, and I gave up pursuing the matter. I just received an e-mail from ADT stating my service charges would be increased due to an increase in their operational cost, which prompted me to write this review after three years. I called ADT and told them I do not accept the increase, and they said "OK" no problem and my service fees remained the same. I wonder how many people call them to dispute like me and how many people would not bother and allow ADT to steal their hard earned money. This was my experience, and I hope nobody else would go through the same issues as I did.

I've had them come out on 3 separate occasions since November 2025 to resolve an issue for me that never got resolved. They told me it was this then if it wasn't this it would be that. We jumped through the hoops and made all the changes to a tune of $800+. When the tech came out a third time in March 2026 and he literally told my husband what we had been having them come out to fix is how the system was intended to function. Sooo why did I just spend $800+ to fix a non-issue and why wouldn't someone else say that? Fast fast forward to May 2026 another tech comes in to complete regular service and what do you know that issue that the last tech said wasn't an issue turns out it is and now they said it would cost me an additional $1100 fix it. This is in addition to the $275 he had just finished swiping my card for to cover their yearly maintenance plan. I contacted the office and spoke to Frank. We agreed to split the initial $800 cost incurred and split ways and he'd reimburse me once he got the new quote. Sent him the quote but cropped the new company out because it's none of their business who has my business now. Well Frank now says they will not be able to reimburse me for failing to do the job and just charging me for things not needed unless I can provide them the invoice showing without cropping out the new company. I could be doing the repairs myself for all it matters. The point is providing you the next company's information should have no bearing or keep you from refunding charges that should have never been billed to begin with. Needless to say I am not being reimbursed half of the initial $800 agreed upon and Frank will likely come on here and try to justify not giving me my money back. Hope the $400 dollars is worth losing me as a customer forever and all the bad press I'm about to give you around town. I forgot to mention the new company is doing the job Cape Fear Air quoted for nearly half the price.

After looking at several companies I decided to give Gill Security a try. I have dealt with ADT, CPI in the past and have friends and family that have Holmes Security. I/they for the most part were pretty disappointed with their service/installation. ADT for example gave me a "free system" but after figuring out their contract I ended paying up way more than what I figured out with Gill Security. CPI was no better or worse both have short waiting times for installation but long waiting times for service. So this time I can say that I'm very happy with Gill Security the guys that installed my new system were knowledgeable and very courteous. They went out of their way to make sure they kept me in the know about what I wanted and that I would be satisfied with the installation. In short they were awesome and I would highly recommend them. And if you figure out their pricing it's cheaper than the others especially in the long run. GREAT COMPANY!!! read more

I have been a very satisfied customer of Gill Security for the past 15 years. I recently had a new HVAC unit installed and something went wrong. While I was at work, my home filled with smoke. My alarm activated and fire department was dispatched. My home and my little dog were rescued before any fire damage could occur. I didn't even know I had a fire/smoke alarm attached to my system, but Dick Gill saw to it that I was protected. My most recent experience involved a technical matter with my key pad. It started beeping for no reason, so I called their tech support after hours. He instructed me on how to disconnect until they could arrive. And yes, they came out in the snow and ice when nothing else was moving. I would highly recommend them for any type of security needs, both home or business. It is nice to get that personal touch from a caring staff. read more
