SHOPPERS PLEASE READ ALL OF THIS REVIEW BEORE MAKING YOUR DECISION. Again our system is not working…read moreand again we have to wait for another week. Since we noticed that our battery in our panel is low and trouble shooting it on the phone with a tech support for over a half hour and 4 emails within a 10 minute time frame saying that the control panel battery is running on 3% on my 9 yr. wedding anniversary she tells me she is sorry but we have to wait for the tech to come out because she has tried everything. The next day I call to try to get our appointment moved up and one tech guy tells me have you tried this and that and when I tell him we tried everything he tells me the tech support that I spoke with last night has no notes in the system. Since last night when I had 4 emails I now wake up to 25 emails saying the same thing and at 8:15 this morning Vivint calling us to tell us something we already know. So I call to ask to have our service discontinued and was told I had to speak to their Customer Loyalty Dept. I speak with their Customer Loyalty Dept. for him to tell me that I cant get out of our contract and he has given us way to much money in credits that he cant do anything for us now even thou now our control panel is not showing us that the door is locked and when windows or doors are open. He tells me that the tech will change out the control panel when he comes in a week. I told him they have already changed out the panel 2 other times. Guess what. Again there are no notes in the system showing that and when the techs come to your house they don't give you any paperwork to show what they did. So you look like the liar when you tell them that the panel has been changed 2 other times. So here we are how many more emails will we get saying that the battery is low or when it gets to 0 and completely stops our house AGAIN goes unmonitored. They answer the phone where we protect your home and family. How do they do this? I tell the Customer Care Loyalty Rep I want out of our contract due to them not giving us the services we are paying for. He tells me because they are willing to replace the panel because there is no record of it being replaced even thou again I tell him to contact these employees who have replaced it he tells me I cant get out of the contract but its fine for them not to protect our house and may family. Keep in mind I have 3 grandkids that live with us and that was the whole reason we went this security system. One more thing. The numbers they have listed on the internet for their Corporate number is all lies they all go to their Customer Service. You cant get a hold of their Corporate Office.

I called several places and everybody was telling me they have to put whole new system and take out the old cameras. And the amount everyone was asking was beyond my budget. Then I called this company. I told them my situation,got an appointment and got it checked by them. they gave me a quote which was less than half what other people were asking for. They used all of the old cameras and also installed new cameras to the places where there was no cameras. so in one word they're very reliable. and they were very professional.

I had occasion to call Buffalo Alarm last week due to a fast beeping sound coming from the key pad…read more I didn't realize at the time that it was due to a low battery. By chance I found Buffalo Alarm on the internet and gave them a call. I really was expecting to be told that I would have to sign up for a year contract for monitoring, which is what happened awhile ago with a another alarm co. When a called Buffalo Alarm and cheerful young lady answered and immediately transferred me to Jim, service manager. He set up an appt. and advised the service fee. Very reasonable. The tech arrived at the appointed time. He replaced the battery quickly and checked all the other batteries. He didn't try to upsell and I'm grateful for that. If I ever want to upgrade our system, Buffalo Alarm is the only company I would use.

My system currently has a malfunction and every week a false alarm occurs. That is ok, it will be…read morerepaired. The issue is the way the alert department operates. One week they called three times, then the police. The next time they called me once, then called the police. Within minutes I called back and each time their phone tree put me on hold for several minutes. Never happened this way before being merged with the Pye-Barker. Waiting to find out the details in real time is problematic. Apparently after talking with them, their position is once they call the police, I become a low priority call and shuttled to hold. While I wonder what happened and if I have to rush home! Really not good for the person being called about an emergency. I am now looking at other companies.
