When my husband and I bought our first home we knew we wanted home security asap. We researched all…read morethe top companies and couldn't find anything we liked. There was never one company that stood out from the rest. There were either very high installation fees or DYI installation with cheap products and always very mixed reviews. I was starting to get pretty desperate but luckily stumbled across Home Star Protection on yelp. I never thought I would rave about an alarm system but can't stop telling everyone we know how great Home Star Protection is. Tim was great at explaining everything and only sold us what we absolutely needed. Having that initial consultation really sold us on the company. Jes was very professional throughout the installation process and took his time reviewing the entire system to us. I love that they use the current system your house already has and just upgrade it as needed. I feel so secure having this system. The alarm.com app and mymoni.com are very easy to use and offer a lot of great options. It's nice to know there are still good companies out there that won't try to take advantage of their customers. You will not regret choosing this company. Thank you so much Home Star!!

Four stars for alarm system and installer!

In today's business society, we always hear of dissatisfaction and complaints when customers do not get their way. In general, good comments and recognition tend to go by the wayside when a business owner or service provider goes above and beyond your requests or expectations. Mr. Farley not only performs to my expectations, but he also goes above them. He's being doing work for me and my church organization since 2011 and it's been my experience in both service and customer care that Tim displays what's missing in today's world of customer service and knowledge of current technology. Whether it was audio/visual inquiries or just general follow-up questions & concerns, Tim was able to clearly & patiently answer all of them. Mr. Farley has been very thorough and meticulous in his services that includes audio/visual upgrades, networking solutions, and now even home automation. He is pleasant to speak with and has always been very truthful in his assessment of what my needs are. His commitment to providing excellent customer service matched with his technology knowledge only influences my decision to both recommend him and his services to my friends, family, and businesses. I'm already looking forward to having him inspect, design, and install my security system as my next project for Houston HD (yes he provides those services as well). Mr. Farley has my business....you'll be glad he has yours too! Regards, Alvin Ray Smith, Jr. Valued Customer

Great experience with Virtual Field Tech - Mr. Carlos Sotto-Alicia. This 5-star rating is based…read moreupon the service of Mr. Sotto-Alicia and not representative of how happy or not-so-happy I am with Vivint as a home security provider. I signed up for Vivint Security Alarm from my previous reputable name company security provider that mostly provides wired security devices and sensors. The Vivint installer back in 2018 did a very sloppy job and decided to bundle 9 window sensors consisting of an office, dining room, living room, breakfast nook, and utility-laundry room into one zone. The Vivint installer also bundled 4 doors as a single zone consisting of the main door, 2 garage doors that open into different house areas, and a backyard door. At least the lazy installer managed to get a few zones right such as the master's bedroom, 2nd-floor window, and the other auxiliary sensors (glass break, motion detector, heat/smoke detector, and carbon monoxide detectors). Long story short, because of the original installer's ineptitude, every time we receive an alarm, we can't pinpoint the possible intrusion or false alarm failure point. We have had an increasing number of false alarms recently even if all doors and windows are secured it will just randomly sound an alarm sometimes at 2 am or late at night while we are sleeping. Because of the faulty zoning, we were unable to pinpoint which sensor is bad. You can in principle replace all sensors to fix the issue but a very expensive proposition plus not fixing the issue of finding out a possible security threat area. I called Vivint many times and tried to schedule a visit since 2018 and all the time they just give me a runaround or will charge a hefty tech visit to fix an issue that they caused. It was not until Sept 1, 2024, after more calls to Vivint to seek assistance to resolve the issue was I finally directed to Mr. Sotto-Alicia who provided a great step-by-step video tutorial to correct the improper installation of the original Vivint installer. Mr. Sotto-Alicia was very patient in showing me how to isolate specific wired sensors and walked me through in isolating them and assigning them their correct zones. All said and done, he was able to assist in separating the living room windows, utility-laundry room window, office windows, living room windows, front door and back door. Now my home alarm are properly zoned with 8 zones plus the other wireless sensors. Mr. Carlos Sotto-Alicia with his patience fixed what many of his peers and colleagues failed to do in 6 years! I am glad I came across Mr. Sotto-Alicia who finally provide a reasonable resolution to an issue my family had to go through for the past 6 years. This man needs a raise and will do Vivint a favor by training the other techs and support team who seems to have a "no-can't do" culture.
