"Monitronics Security did not hold up their end of a 3 Year Service Agreement We purchased a security system for our rental properties. When they're vacant we set the alarm and trust the monitoring company to notify us if any issues arise. We purchased a 3 year service agreement on 5-10-17 for $1,241.10. On July 15th 2017 I called the service contractor who moves the systems B & D Security as well as Monitronics Security (the ones who monitor the system to give them the new address. They moved the system as of that day. We had the 1st break In happen on 8-24-17.They called us to let us know police were being dispatched to 3442 W Aster Drive in Phoenix. When they called back they said "no disturbance has happened at 6210 S 4th Ave in Phoenix. I told them they had the wrong address (that was the previous address before Aster Drive) They then stated they would resend police to the correct address. The next morning I went to Aster drive and the back door was wide open. We had a junkie sleeping on the floor in one of the bedrooms, needles laying around in the kitchen, bathroom & bed room. I removed the druggie from the home & called Phoenix PD they informed me that they were never called to the Aster address. I then called Monitronics and asked why I was ignored & told them about the damage to the home as well as the harmful situation I was placed in since the intruder was still in the home when I arrived. NOTHING WAS EVER DONE ABOUT THIS. On 10-11-17 the same thing happened except now I had a broken window & furniture missing. They also hit up the home again on 10-23-17. At this point I receive a bill from Phoenix PD with charges for dispatching 3 times to the 6210 S 4th Ave. I called endlessly stating that they're still NOT monitoring the correct address. My voice has fallen on deaf ears. I escalated the issue & never got called back. I finally reached a supervisor Dan who stated that because their contractor B & D security never sent signals clearly to the Aster drive address they never changed the address on Montironics side. I asked them to review ALL OF THE CALLS I HAD MADE SINCE JULY 15th. AGAIN- he said he would call me back and NEVER DID. I got ahold of him again & he asked me to call B & D security myself to handle the issue. I called and spoke to Maria. She stated that the contractor they hired was Marcus Polland and gave me his contact info stating he was a third party and since it was somehow his screw up I could go after him. I told her she's the one who hired him so she would be the one dealing with Marcus. Maria told me if I wanted to pursue the issue I could but I needed to hire a lawyer. Then she hung up on me. I called back and asked to speak to the highest manager in the company above this Maria lady. They said "If you have a lawyer you better call them" She then hung up on me. I hired Monitronics for 3 Years to provide security and I am not receiving any security for any of my homes. If I would have known they were this bad at their jobs I would have cancelled their service a lot sooner. I am now out over $2000 because of this issue and my losses. I am requesting a full refund of the service fee from Monitronics that I paid on 5-10-17 in the amount of $1241.00. I realize this is over the normal timeframe for a refund but Visa policy states that if I am being provided an ongoing service and am not receiving the service I should be refunded."

"I was on the market for a security system and this one seemed easy enough to install.......went through the process and some of the window sensors were not working. I called Customer Support who was very friendly and we went through the entire process again...this time other window sensors did not work. This went on for a week or so...then the door senors stopped working....than the motion sensor stopped working...at no time in over a month did I have a fully operational security system. As I was about to return the system I was told they have "new" sensors and they just realized they received a bad batch and are working with another company.....Gave it a try....and same issue returned....some sensors worked....some didn't. I finally returned the system and stopped getting emails.....only to find that they were still billing my credit card even after I returned the equipment. Very nice people and very understanding.....unfortunately their product is not up to par. While we do have a large home, it's an open concept and the sensors that weren't working were no more than 15ft away from the base. The previous owners of my house had a wireless system with no issues at all.....I'm going to be using that company going forward."

Home Security Systems questions, answered by experts

Each has its use, depending on the scenario. Security doors are primarily intended to keep people out of the home, while storm doors are used to protect the home from extreme weather. Both tend to be made from heavy-duty metal and may include glass panels to allow light to enter the home. Storm doors can feature mesh screens, just like screen doors, to allow for increased ventilation and to keep out pests. Security doors rarely, if ever, have mesh screens.

Yes, evaluating needs based on home size, layout, and climate.

A deadbolt has a different design, construction, and security level than a regular lock. Regular locks are mostly used for interior doors around the home, like bedrooms and bathrooms, and they usually include a locking mechanism on the inside. While regular locks are easy to use and install, they provide little security. 

A deadbolt adds a layer of security and is most commonly used on exterior doors. The installation is typically more complicated, but they hold up to wear and tear.

In general, keyless door locks are considered safe. They can’t be picked like a traditional lock, and unless a thief can guess your code, it’s pretty tricky to break into a house with a keyless door lock. But that doesn’t mean they come without risk. 

When asking yourself, "Are keyless door locks safe?” consider the style of the system. Hackers could potentially break in if it operates on Wi-Fi, but it’d take some time and effort. You’re also at risk for a power outage, depending on the type of lock. That being said, there are no more risks associated with keyless door locks than a traditional lock.

In most cases, installing a driveway gate will improve the value of your home. Driveway gates appeal to homebuyers because they provide additional security for the home and make your property more private. Automatic driveway gates are extra convenient and will usually add more value than manual ones. The gate material will also affect the value addition to your home, as it plays a role in aesthetic appeal and security for your property.
