Reliable But Monitoring Is So Very Expensive. Lots of alarm companies offer monitoring, and their prices vary wildly. Although some are not credible or trustworthy, one can easily choose by doing some basic research, talking with neighbors, or by reading reviews like these. One thing I can count on Protection 1 for is regular rate increases. At this point i'm paying roughly twice what I would be paying with other reliable companies. I'm paying $32 a month now. And since they use a proprietary alarm system, it's not as simple as just switching monitoring services. Be warned... once you choose these guys your basically locked in to accept their rate increases and paying their high rates.

This has been the worst experience We have not received much help in setting up our alarm system and the first time around it didn't work. The second time we haven't received all of our equipment and personally I really miss my old alarm company. This one has not protected me at all for the month of October.

Terrible Communication, Billing Stupidity I had service at my former home with Protection 1 and the new owner took over the contract and service. I get a call once a week (for months on end now) no matter how often I tell Protection 1 this and they keep trying to bill me and call and email me about interruptions in service. I have spoken over and over to staff on the phone about this but everyone there isn't competent enough to correct the issue. Don't use this service.

Terrible company They are terrible to deal with in customer service got hung up on 3 times and they hide costs in their billing. Their cancellation fees are ridiculous so better be with them for 5 years and in some cases more otherwise your paying lots of money. When I asked to talk to a manager I was told the customer service lady was the manager also lol wow

Bad customer service- equipment doesn't work Installers were nice enough. However, the motion sensor kept getting set off by my cat. Company replaced sensor, moved it, adjusted sensitivity-still went off. When I spoke to customer service they said they'll drop the sensor from the system and that was it. When I explained this wasn't a good resolution for me since I signed up for the service for the advertiSed motion sensor and door sensors. The rep explained "well the motion sensor was free". I then decided I didn't want to continue with this company. Transferred me to someone else...they promised to call me back tomorrow (I was in middle of teaching class when alarm was set off my cat) I never got phone call. Terrible customer service. No follow through and poor equipment.
