I'm honestly sick to have to come back again with another update. 4/14/25. I just discovered that…read moresomeone from their team, Tonia Latrell, created a user account on our door lock system on February 19, 2025, using an incredibly insecure PIN code -- 1234. This is a huge security lapse. That code could have been guessed by anyone and granted them unauthorized access to our building. I only found out about this after contacting the platform's support team directly, who then walked me through how to properly remove the account. This kind of negligence is unacceptable from a company that's supposed to specialize in security. It's the final straw for me, and unfortunately, it only reinforces the concerns I've shared throughout this review.

Thanks, NorthStar, for making my decision that much easier to go with your competitor. UPDATE: So, does that mean you didn't bother reading my response to you (see screen shot of image I just uploaded from my reply immediately back to you). Again, you have proved my point. Maybe your reps are tied up bc they're in the phone trying to respond to all the negative customer service reviews, like mine. It took you *2 weeks* to respond and accuse me of "not responding" to you when I did so within hours. Nice. Second Update: I see Martha has retracted her comment to me on my review (hence what my first Update spoke to....now it doesn't make sense, but you get the picture of what happened). More proof this company doesn't "have it together." I strongly encourage those looking for a security system to look elsewhere, or at least do your research before committing to North Star. This company has given me the run-around and I'm not even a customer! There are many other companies that value your time and business more than North Star. I am a perfect example.

I'm writing this on a day that my neighborhood just went nuts because we had some door-to-door…read moresupposed alarm company sales people going around. I called NorthStar, my security company, to see if they'd ever heard of these guys and they told me that "reputable firms don't go door to door." That reminded me that I was overdue for writing them a review. My husband and I (well, my husband mostly), interviewed four or five firms before selecting this one. Their installers are also their sales guys. In other words, these are people who know their stuff. Nobody tried to sell us something we didn't need. The guy who came out - and followed us through some installation difficulties (way our house was built, not NorthStar's fault) - his name is Gary. He is friendly and SUPER knowledgeable. He explained things and then explained them again and gave my engineer-husband all the detail he wanted. But when I had a question and DIDN'T want the detail - he boiled it down for me. Their pricing was similar to other firms we talked with. Pay for the equipment and have lower monthly monitoring, or do a 3-yr contract with higher monthly monitoring and lower/no equipment costs. They give you several options to work with your budget. Bottom line is, they weren't significantly higher or lower than anybody else. We had our first "false alarm" the other day. Our nanny accidentally set off the alarm and while she was punching the code in downstairs, my husband was also punching it in on the keypad upstairs, which cancelled the whole thing. Kinda funny actually. The monitoring service called us WITHIN TWO MINUTES. I was glad to know they were on the ball just in case we need them for real some day. In the end, we went with this firm because they were the most knowledgeable, didn't have pushy sales people, so we felt confident we were getting the info we needed to make a good decision. Turned out to be a very good decision!

After being very disappointed with two well-known home security companies, I signed on with CPI,…read morehave been with them for about 5 years now, and in 2 homes, and am VERY happy with them! They offer a great package, competitive pricing, and top-notch customer service. Their system is so effective and thorough, that I feel like I live in Fort Knox, which is a great feeling for a woman who lives alone! Very straight-forward and easy system to use, and the company's responses to events are within seconds. Chuck, who has been with CPI for several years, is not only a terrific installer/technician who knows his job from top to bottom, but is always so happy to explain to the customer everything he's doing, and answer their questions and concerns thoroughly. He also ensures that his customers have all the security features that they want/need, prior to leaving their homes. He's also very intelligent and a lot of fun to be around. On the other hand, Michael S., who initially installed the CPI system in my current home, simply came in, did his work, and never really bothered to explain ANYTHING to me, unless I asked him a specific question. Even then, his response was very brief. And, thanks to Chuck, I just found out yesterday that, for 3 years, I was being charged for a security feature that Michael had neither offered me nor installed. So, in addition to highly recommending CPI Security Systems, I also highly recommend that you request Chuck to do your installation, etc., if available!

We had never used a security system before and knew little about how the systems or the service worked. Lew dropped by for a free consultation, surveyed the property, recommended a course of action, and scheduled an installation for the following week. Lew dealt patiently with us for we misplaced the key to the house on the installation day, and he happily fit us into his schedule the next day. Installation was quick, clean and informative: he explained components and features, offered different options, and uninstalled and disposed of random components of earlier systems spread throughout the house. And most importantly, at nine o'clock one night, when I called him after clumsily and accidentally fouling up the master code and a clutch of other settings too due to my inexperience with the system, he picked right up and walked me through the process of sorting out the whole mess, and taught me how to avoid making that mistake again. His generous customer service took a huge weight off my shoulders, and we couldn't have been more pleased. One other thing: Like T-Mobile, Atlanta Home Alarm offers their services without contracts. Everything is month to month--and their rates seem much cheaper than bigger companies'.
