I have used a number of home security companies over the years and Advanced Security, LLC is by far the worst experience. I switched from a local company that was struggling to provide service after almost 6 years to Advanced Security. The intent was to self- monitor for a month or two and then switch to a monitoring service. In addition, I took it as an opportunity to replacing a panel that stopped working. Since I made the switch to Advanced Security, I decided to replace it through them, and that is where the problems began. They sent me a completely defective panel both in esthetics and function. I was eager to replace the panel and quickly realized that the electrical panel was not flush with the case, and emitted white light in the bottom corner. Even with the defect in the electrical circuit board panel, I was willing to keep it if it worked. I was able to connect to the Wi-Fi, however, the software updates would not download; rendering it inoperable. Keep in mind, any smart home owner is highly motivated to replace any security product that stops working. When I brought this to the attention of the company manager, he quickly became unhinged, and very insulting. He basically called me a liar, which left me dumbfounded. I have never been treated with such distain for attempting to return a clearly defective product. They tried to make me take a loss on the purchase and I fought them, which resulted in their cancel culture. This company represents the worst qualities in America- cancel culture. They have very toxic managers and they were quick to turn on me, making me feel unwelcome and didn't deal with any technical support issues or otherwise after being cancelled. They used the fact that I was a customer to attempt to intimidate me into taking a loss on the purchase. Bottom line, I could not recommend this company in good conscience. read more
