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 My prior security system…read morewas 3g and outdated, and my prior security provider did not contact me about the 3g sunset in a timely manner.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.

The sales rep lied and said it was all hardwired and suggested a replacement protection plan in case there are any issues with the equipment. Turns out the system didn't work, specifically the cameras and some sensors. Also turns out the protection plan won't cover replacement. They wanted to send a technician ($$$) to diagnose and suspected I would need equipment replaced. So I asked to cancel my account immediately and I installed my own home install system (which works). I cannot cancel my account and they still charge me and won't refund any of my money. I have called the retention department numerous times with no resolution. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY OR SERVICE!!!

And wanted an outrageous price, but I needed it installed and had to pay them. But ASG and CPI both failed to do what they said they could do. When they failed and lied to me I found Burroughs Systems and he jumped through all the mess the other companies created and installed in time and had us up and running as promised. It is so refreshing to find someone who is so responsible.

I told them that I would gladly pay the account if they would fix it, but they snapped at me and treated me like garbage so the account will not be paid for the simple fact that you guys would not fix the functionality of the panel. I was mistreated by your office on several occasions I'm done. I found somebody else that will treat me fairly and for the price that I paid I've got a better company coming out here and I'm gonna take care of my mother.

The manager Chris who came multiple times was rude and could never fix the problem! | CANCELED the service and 4 yrs later they reported a huge balance to my credit report !

When the technician arrived, he tried to charge me an additional $20 for a window tag. I was under the impression that a security system should already include securing both doors and windows. I decided to give them another chance and called the same representative to reschedule. We set a new installation date for September 9, 2025. I even took the day off work to be available, but no one ever showed up. I contacted CPI and spoke with a manager, who assured me I'd receive a call back from a supervisor and the sales rep--but that never happened. This experience was extremely frustrating. If this is how they treat potential customers, I can only imagine how they treat current ones. I ultimately had to call back just to request a refund for the taxes I had already paid on the equipment. DO NOT go with this company.

Not only are their prices higher and contracts longer than anyone else, there are predatory terms…read moreburied in your contract. Before signing anything, you should understand that you ABSOLUTELY WILL BE CHARGED 100% of the FULL term of the contract -- no matter what. It doesn't matter if you have a valid reason for disconnecting service, such as moving outside their service area (do you realize they only operate in 4 states? They don't mention this when they tell you that your contract is portable). No matter what the circumstance, they will continue to charge you every month PLUS the cost of equipment (this can be several thousand dollars) and there is nothing you can do to stop them because of the terms of the contract. They can change the amount you pay each month, they can pass fees and upcharges to you from third parties, and there's nothing you can do to terminate. It's all buried deep in the contract that nobody reads. These are not industry standard terms, and they are not made clear when you're signing the contract. Basically, unless you are absolutely 100% sure that you will definitely not have any change of circumstances for the next 5 years, go with another company.
