    I was an IWATCH customer for five years. They were a small veteran owned family business and had…read moregreat service. 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.

    For several years, I had a security system provided by another company. My prior security system…read morewas 3g and outdated, and my prior security provider did not contact me about the 3g sunset in a timely manner. 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.

    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.
