Make sure you read their Contract!! I started renovation on a home in April 2019, and signed up with Alarm Relay to install a radio signal alarm system to monitor the home due to it being vacant. (No wifi or phone line) I received the equipment and hired one of their preferred installers from a list that they provided. Gentleman shows up and installs the sensors and the control panel and collected his 250.00 dollars. I call to activate the system and the phone tech cannot get the sensors and the panel to communicate. I box up the panel and ship it back and receive a second panel.... you guessed it, it doesn't work either. Fast forward.. I'm into my 7 month of trying to get this service up and running and I receive my third panel.. which finally gets activated on December 21st!! The home has been vulnerable for almost 8 months. You would think I would receive some sort of compensation for this debacle, but on December the 23rd the accounting department calls and explains I have a yearly contract and I owe 360.00 dollars!! What happened to the 8.95 a month you advertise?? They explain that I have a radio card panel that's 10.95 per month and they have to pay a third party 15.00 per month to monitor it!! So they sent me equipment that they can't even monitor and it's going to almost triple the advertised price. ...Oh and I've got to pay the full year upfront because it's in their contract and my year starts on December 21, once the equipment finally gets online..(Remember I signed up with them in April...so my year should end April 30, 2020). They say "Oh no, we couldn't charge you in April because your system wasn't online") That's my fault your equipment didn't work? I've got a tenant for the property now, they can secure their own deal... When I needed monitoring Alarm Relay dropped the ball... Big Time..Oh and charged me 360.00 for my trouble.

Bad faith attitude. Had Alarm Relay for about two years then got rid of my land line. No problem up till then. Cancelled service but was called back a few months later to see if I wanted to get service back using a cell communicator. Paid the $200 and got the Telguard, tried for two weeks to get it working with the help of their tech people. Verizon signal was too weak, sent it back and got the AT&T version. Tried for another two weeks to get it set up, “somehow” the transformer on my alarm system went bad, got one from Amazon. Tried to get it set up again, more than 30 (their return deadline) days had passed since purchase of Telguard, still not able to get it working, my system did not work at all after that. Had some life issues and contacted them in December to send the unit back, they said no. Have now paid $2000 to have a new alarm installed and have a $200 Telguard that is useless. Would not work with this company again.

The absolute worst experience The absolute worst experience. Was told system worked with VOIP, MagicJack in particular. So I order An MJ for no other purpose. System is not set up completely after the first install call. Rescheduled for ten (!) days later. Upon second try we get the sustem to work - but no. Told by technician that VOIP was too unreliable and it did not work. Spoke to manager who suggested I pay 50% more monthly and additonally purchase equipment costing $190. In Summary: untrustworthy company.

tried to make extra money; follow-up too slow Technician called after I had signed only to recommend that I upgrade my system. When I refused, he was able to connect it anyway. I had also been told that I could use the alarm.com app the same day -- over 24 hours later I have yet to receive a passcode. Not smooth, folks.

Alarm Relay has provided excellent… Alarm Relay has provided excellent service so far and I started their service a couple of months ago. I would definitely give a five star rating. I am just waiting to see how they perform if there is any issue.
