I bought a security system with a lifetime warranty and now that that company is no longer in business Safe Touch will not honor their warranty. I have been a loyal customer for over 20 years and I would have to pay for a new system. I am severing tires with the company that does not believe in customer service nor taking care of their customers. Safe Touch has a low customer raining here on Yelp due to their inability to meet their obligations and take care of their customers. read more

Based on my many earlier years of encounters using Safe Touch I would have given it at least a 4 star rating. But based on my overall fairly recent experiences with Safe Touch company, prior to when I very recently received assistance from Safe Touch's employee Justin, I would have given S T just 3 stars. However I would if possible definitely want to give more than 5 stars to Justin in the Jacksonville Safe Touch service center. Justin is an extremely helpful and a very patient service representative!! I have had three different issues come up over the past month re: 3 different component failures within my Safe Touch security system. All 3 issues occurred on weekend days when the Tallahassee office is closed during the weekend. I thus called S T's Jacksonville location. In doing so, I was very fortunate to have reached Justin. He was able to guide me through the process that was necessary in order to stop what had been a failed component's weekend long beeping warning sounds :-( . And today Justin very patiently stepped me though the processes that helped to rectify a third system component which had caused my entire security system to completely stop functioning over the weekend. I truly hope Safe Touch's management team fully realizes just how very fortunate S T is to have an exemplary employee such as Justin. He is an extremely helpful, knowledgeable, patient and a very kind S T representative!! If I possibly could, I would certainly want to give him more than just 5 Stars!!! Janice S. read more

We recently asked to cancel our contract and was told we were renewed for a 5 year contract and to cancel we will need to pay over $900 - pull payment up to end of contract. Really?? What company can "muscle" you into staying with them. Our first contract with SafeTouch was 2 years, our new upgraded is not living up to the service we were lead to believe we were paying for but that is okay, but we can end by paying lump sum or GET THIS, system can be turned off and we can just continue paying monthly, REALLY??? If we are not satisfied why make us continue to pay you for it???????????? update: Management called and we were able to come to an agreement in cancelling our service. Thank you for working with us. read more

I recently called SafeTouch to get my backup battery replaced. The first two customer service agents told me I would be charged for a service call because there wasn't an active warning signal. That explanation made no sense, since the warning signal only appears when the power is out. It wasn't until I threatened to cancel my service that a representative in the billing/contract department finally confirmed the truth: the backup battery is covered under warranty, and there would be no charge for the replacement visit. This back-and-forth was frustrating and unnecessary. SafeTouch's customer service has steadily declined while their prices have increased. Customers shouldn't have to fight for basic warranty coverage. Shameful. Get it together SafeTouch! 11/19/25 read more

Paid 3300.00 up front to Justin Wofford, service manager. Took a month to install. Sent one tech out for a two person job-so spent 6 hours off work to get installed. Service tech left without setting up a safe word. First fire alarm goes off in a smokey kitchen and we deactivate using app immediately. Get a call from dispatch confirming false alarm. But no safe word set up. THEY SENT THE FIRE DEPARTMENT ANYWAY!!!!!. Cannot cancel this service. Locked into an 89.00 a month service contract for 3 years with a company that has no idea what customer service means. Stay away from Safetouch......literally any other system will do you better. They offered me nothing for my inconvenience except "there's nothing you can do, talking with a manager will not change your situation and we do not offer customers refunds or discounts for inconveniences"...... read more

Do not engage Safe Touch Security to take care of the security of your home. They lead you to believe that they will be installing the system, you sign a contract and you give them your credit card payment. A couple of days before the supposed installation we got a call and email asking us to sign another contract and the day before installation a phone call telling us there was no record of payment. This morning they were supposed to be here at 8:30 and we canceled other important appointments we had so we could be here and learn about the system. No one showed up and we received no call from Caleb the representative or from the company to explain what was going on. The customer service is AWFUL and UNRELIABLE. I don't understand how anyone could entrust this company with their security when they are unreliable in every way. We have called ADT and their response was immediate and we will be using them. This is a huge disappointment. read more

I hired save touch security alarm systems for my home around five months ago. Installed were security cameras, and motion sensors on my windows and within the home. It has been a nightmare. As of recently, why having medical treatment away from home the police were someone's out to my home Twice within a 10 day. Period. Faulty sensors, and alarm systems installed in my home. Now my security cameras do not work. Every time I call the tech department they can't seem to fix and when I get management on the phone, they say it's gonna be a month before they can come out to my home or to expedite. I will have to pay $300 because they installed faulty systems in my home. My doorbell camera they install was faulty also. They installed a newer version and that does not work either. Very static he and the voice is also static when speaking to a visitor outside the door. . Buyer beware. I fired ADT security alarm systems because I thought they were bad. Local Floridians be very careful with this save touch company. Save touch security company is not AMERICANS with DISABILITIES ACT compliance, and do not accommodate disabled persons. read more

RIPOFF! RIPOFF! RIPOFF! RUN ‍away from them! These people have mastered the art of ripping people off subtly without you knowing it until it is too late! They lure you into a long term contract with automatic renewal in fine prints on their small iPad; they sell you crappy equipments that can never sustain the terms of the contract and even though we endured the 3 yrs contract without ever arming the service, they continued to automatically renew the service and threaten to send our name to collections! Who does that! I write a lot of reviews but this is the first time I've been forced to give a negative review! Believe me when I say: RUN ‍ away from them! You will REGRET it! read more

I currently have safe touch security in my home. I have just recently sold my home and I am moving into a new home just 13 miles away from my old home. I wanted to continue using safe touch at my new home however I was informed that I would have to pay the remainder of my contract at my current home. What the fuck !!! That's about 3K unless I continue their service at my new home then it's like 2300.00 plus I still need to buy new equipment and have it installed there so that'll be about another 3K. You people are a scam and need to be shut down. I can't believe you do people this way. I should've read your reviews prior to getting involved with you because you have screwed me. I don't see what the issue is with just letting me buy new stuff and paying for that and installation at my new house. Why the hell do I have to pay for a service at my old house which by the way I would be paying for the same months at my new house. You're getting paid twice!!! What a joke and all your stupid contract says "non- transferable" it doesn't mention I would have to pay for the month I didn't use at my current location. If you don't fix this crap and make it right I'm going back to ADT or Vivent. Bet you don't reach out to me either. read more

If I could give 0 starts I would I have had the worst experience with this company. The salesman sold me cameras for my home and business. He explained at my business I only needed two outdoors cameras and one indoor camera to "bridge the gap" between the outdoor cameras. When the installer came to install the cameras he asked when I would like the cameras as I have four exterior doors and only two cameras (i was then informed the indoor camera does not record). I called the salesmen and questioned him and his response was "no one breaks into a building from the back" WHAT! I should have stopped the installation and canceled everything but I gave them the benefit of the doubt and let them install them. Then it came time to install the cameras at my house. Before purchasing I asked if I would receive notifications on my phone and was told yes (later to find out you only get so many a month and if you want more you have to pay extra for that). I had nothing but issues at my house and office from day one and every time I called they came to try to fix the problems. When I finally had enough and said I would just like a refund they told me I was past the 3 days return window and didnt want to help me any longer. Fast forward to a year later Im still dealing with the issues and my business was almost broken into and low and behold the cameras never alerted me (even though I pay for the extra notifications) Safte Touch does not care about my concerns and knows Im stuck in a contract for 5 years. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THEM! read more

I have been a SafeTouch customer for nearly 20 years. There service has always been 10+. I just called for service because a fire sensor is constantly chirping. The repair person said to remove the cover the see if it stops. It set the alarm off because it thinks the system is being tampered with. The first available appointment is not for another week. What happened to me being a "valued customer"? This is UNACCEPTABLE. read more

We recently purchased a new home and wanted to explore our security monitoring options. SafeTouch was one of them. Our sales rep did a great job of providing information that was necessary, especially for someone that has never had a security system before and isn't up to date on the latest and greatest when it comes to technology. I did absorb some of what he was saying, but some other things... I didn't agree with, but I kept it moving. Our new home for some reason does not have a doorbell system. They don't sell wireless doorbells, such as the Nest or the Ring. Their reason - It has to be charged which means the battery can die. They also don't offer multiple panels. Their reason - Everything can be controlled on the app. Luckily we were able to go with a security company that allowed us to integrate multiple door bells, and panels in addition to a whole lot more. All controlled on the app and then some. I think SafeTouch would be a great option for some people, but it wasn't for us. read more

Ms. Ranae helped me with my billing issues. I would do business with SafeTouch again. The monitoring service is very good.

DO NOT USE THEIR SERVICE These 5 star reviews below are bullshit and probably bribbed. If you want real reviews check out their facebook and yelp page. Their app does not work AND the video recording doesn't work. You have to manually delete videos every 30 days or else it stops recording. Since the day I started my service with them 5 years ago it's been straight bullshit. They put you in long contracts and refuse to let you cancel when THEIR system doesn't work. Don't advertise that you have a great system when you DON'T. If you're going to continue to collect peoples money, then INVEST in a better app, truthful salesmen, and technology. When you try to get help they block you on social media and hang up on your calls. Why? Can't stand a persistent customer that just wants you to do the right thing? read more

We chose Safe Touch Security for our newly opened family business and they have been phenomenal. I'm not the most tech savvy person and they have been amazing about making sure I understand everything. Had to call a tech out this morning (Anthony) and he went out of his way to help me figure out issues that weren't even on the work order. He was very nice and didn't make the feel like the tech idiot I am..LOL. Reasonable rates and top notch service. read more

This company is making me pay thousands of dollars in monitoring fees after I moved across the state to an area they don't even service. Although it is my fault for not reading the fine print, everyone should have a heads up that you will owe monitoring fees for the length of your contract whether you move or not. In general, not a respectable or verbally transparent company. read more

Sub-par product and service - and they rely on holding customers to full 3 year contract in spite of multiple system failures and inconvenient service visits. November 6th, 2021 (8am) - Installers were unable to complete the installation, as they were in need of a part that was not available (Saturday). During this visit, the hard wiring in the previously functioning panel was all cut - since they were adding wireless sensors. November 16th, 2021 (window 1pm - 2pm) - A new crew of installers arrived, and continued working until after dark. At this time we were not provided any collateral or literature other than to use the online app - Alula. I was surprised this was an outsourced app, and not seemingly proprietary of Safetouch, since that had never been mentioned before. It doesn't work well. November 21st, 2021 - Within a few days, a sensor developed a fault - which causes an hourly beep. December 1st, 2021 - They emailed me about the autopay function. I emailed her back advising her that the system still is not working. No response. December 6th, 2021 (8am) - Service technician identified zone 8 (window in the family room) was not connected properly. He removed the wireless sensor and replaced it. The error message on the keypad vanished, and we figured all was fine. I was a little concerned having needed a service visit so early on, considering the system worked fine for a few days and then fizzled. December 10th, 2021 - The alert on the keypad came on again, with the system beeping every hour. Another service visit was scheduled. December 22, 2021 (3pm - 5pm) - A new technician noted that the battery was not properly in place for zone 8. He secured the battery, made sure the magnet connected, and cleared the error message on the keypad. December 25, 2021 - A new error message appeared on the keypad, this time for zone 14. Beeping on the hour again. At this point, I am not at all confident this system is dependable or will continue to work properly without significant effort/scheduling/impeding work and inconvenience. It has not worked properly for more than a few days at a time, and is less than 2 months old. December 27th, 2021 - I called to request cancellation based on the poor track record of the system. The representative told me that I could not cancel and would have to pay out the full 3 year contract. December 28th, 2021 - I called again and was given an email address to write to request cancellation. (Done - email sent) January 5, 2022 - I've reached out a few more times, no response to cancellation request. Representatives keep saying that it does not matter how many times they send service reps or the system fails because they offer a lifetime guarantee... this does not offset having to schedule work around their visits several times a month...VERY UNHAPPY CUSTOMER! read more

I've been a customer for at least 20 years. Used to rave about Safetouch. Not so much anymore. I've noticed a definite decline in qualified customer service. Getting a technician out has been waitlisted for me last couple of times. I'm feeling the need to start doing my research on other systems/companies. read more

Only gave SafeTouch one star because I had no other option in order to leave this review. My elderly mother purchased an alarm system package with this trash company. I honestly do not know if it was properly explained to her that it was a 3 yr contract wasn't there for it. However fast forward a year later my mother sells her home and purchases a condo in a 55+ community. No longer needs SafeTouch I awaken to hear the customer service representative being disrespectful and rude to my mother. I get up grab the phone and ask to speak to a supervisor Nicole S. I explained the situation. Nicole asks me to email a copy of my mothers sales contract for the condo. Which I do. Case closed they'll cancel the contract (May 2022). My mothers passes away June 2022 my heart is destroyed and here comes another bill from SafeTouch. Oh look contract was never canceled. They lied. And now want her death certificate. I pray for the unholy people that work for this disgusting company. read more

Excellent monitoring, but don't expect local service to exceed the mega-security companies. Always prompt response to alarms... ...but, just like cable companies and the mega-security companies, they are totally obtuse to the value of a customer's time. Theirs is valuable, and yours is worthless. It doesn't matter if you're an attorney with a $400/hr billing rate, you'll be expected to sit around the house for hours waiting for some schlub high-school grad to show up and spend 10 minutes replacing a sensor (something which you could do yourself with some competitors' systems). If they had any sensibility, their techs would call YOU when they're on the way, and wait for YOU. After all, aren't they charging you for it??? In the end, I'm not sure if the prompt response to false alarms from marginal hardware is really worth the premium over the cut-rate mega competitors. read more

we have been with safe touch for a number of years. loved there response time. I needed to discontinue service for a while for financial reasons. They will not let me I have been talking with them since the first part of June. still they are charging me for a service that I can't afford when I start looking for security protection it will not be safe touch read more

Safe touch Security SUCKS!!! They have a major problem with Vystar about automatic withdraw and Vystar didn't pay them. Now they have reported me to the credit company. The lady in the billing department that works there accused me of lying. She is one of the RUDEST people that I have EVER SPOKEN TO AT A BUSINESS. I have nothing to do with Vystar CU or Safetouch, but safetouch put me in the middle of their drama with the bank. I have decided to send a mass email out to all 5000 of our customers offering free service if they cancel their alarm with Safetouch and sign with ADT or any other alarm company. Safetouch has GED employees that are clearly running their outfit. Stay AWAY!!!!! read more

Safetouch is a great local security company to do business with. They have excellent customer service and really provide peace of mind for me and my family. read more

Have had Safetouch for a few years now and the service has been great. If there is an issue, they address it in a timely manner. The app is great and the response time is ridiculously fast. Great local company. read more

Biggest rip off there ever was ....I was told I could get out of my contract if I sold my house. I sold my house and almost a year later I am still paying because I am tied into a contract and there is absolutely nothing I can do about it. It's very very sad that a company can have control over someone's bank account so easily and threaten to sue if you cancel the CC card. Word to the wise ...learn from the mistakes of all these people with bad reviews and Tell Lester Jackson to go screw read more

8 Year Long Customer - Leaving because of bad customer service I would say that Safetouch Security back in 2009-2010 was a great service, but until recently when we decided to move and start new at a new construction house, we see that the level of service has gone WAY DOWN. We started off with Kurt (the salesperson) coming out to the new construction home and saying that our pre-wired system only needed the keypads replaced for $250.00 and the monitoring service would be $30/month. Fine. He then sets up the technician, Kyle, to come out a week later, they get there and say that Kurt didn't know what he was talking about and wrote down all the wrong equipment and that they would need to re-do the entire system (which would in turn void our builders warranty) so we were like, no thank you, we want our deposit back. Getting the deposit back has been the longest process - 4 customer service people later and 5 days later we now hear the refund has been processed but could take 7-10 days to show up in our account. Then yesterday I see a pending $33.81 charge on my bank account for service!! WHAT? We don't even have service. I call Safetouch, the representative says that there's a 50/50 chance it will go through! I said so I have to wait? She says, call back tomorrow if it goes through. This morning, of course the charge went through. Call Safetouch back, AGAIN. She puts me on hold for 10 minutes comes back and says she was advised to wait a few more days to see if the charge gets refunded. At this point I'm furious. I call back and ask to speak with a manager. The representative has me on hold for 11 minutes... I think this is their tactic. Leave you on hold to see if you hang up. I finally had to hang up as I was at work. Worst customer service ever. Almost $300 dollars later... no service, no refunds.. we called ADT and got a new service put in. Will never use or recommend SafeTouch ever again. read more

We have been customers for 17 years and found the monitoring very timely although recently we needed a service call and was disappointed. I believe based on the recent reviews that safe touch doesn't have their customer at heart. I guess this is an example of the times. read more

They do not guarantee their equipment. The equipment did not have a life span of longer than 60-90 days. It appeared the equipment may have been refurbished. Did not stay connected to internet and I was i told it was my problem. Since changing to another company I have had no problems, pay less per month and they guarantee the equipment. I do not recommend Safe Touch. read more

This security system is a money sucking sham if you try to cancel it. They have been still charging me monthly still after a year and a half after cancelation. They don't care about if you have to move with the military, and use that to squeeze money out of you. Terrible company! read more

NEEDS BETTER MANAGEMENT! Safetouch doesn't care about their employees & never has a manager on duty who ACTUALLY CARES ABOUT THE COMPANY. smh. I've never worked ANYWHERE that didn't have a manager on duty AT ALL TIMES! seeing a lot of reviews about the company being a scam... do they know that Lester Jackson himself owns a Mclaren? or has houses around the country? their scam is to get everyone's money so that lester can pay for his nice things.. can't wait to see him on the next headline as the next "security scam unraveled" ha... better get a grip on your company before someone reports this company to the bbb read more

The sales person- 1 Star (read the fine print- Our sales person told us lies) User friendly system- 5 Stars Time it take for a alarm rep to come on the speaker- 3 Stars (only becasue 1-2x no one came on the line) Customer Service after purchasing system- No Star (one hour wait time, no call back, issues never resolved) Overall- 1 Star For me customer service is big especially during a contract. Do your homework, Don't make the same mistake read more

If I could rate this company less than one star I would! STAY AWAY! I sold my house and don't have a place to transfer my system. I'm under contract and they will not pause it until I buy a new house and refuse to turn my system off. So now I'm left with two options. Not selling my house or I guess cut the wires and have the cops come out because I cant sell the house to someone with s system on that they don't have control over. Additionally, my phone number changed and they will not change my phone number except via fax. Seriously, who owns a fax machine? All this is after they billed us multiple times when we first got the system which took a long tie to sort out because anytime you have to call their business office they keep you on hold 20-50 minute. I will never recommend this company to anyone!!!!! read more

Please fully read the contract!!!!! First of all I wasn't aware there was a 3 year contract with an additional 2 years no one tells you about if you don't do a written cancellation in certain period of time after cancellation date. So I'm stuck paying 19 months for a service I no longer have but I'm definitely not willing to stay with this company after speaking to who they consider customer retention at corporate who had the worst attitude of anyone I've ever spoken with there. But this is definitely a lesson learned I don't care how long it takes from now on I'm gone put my glasses on and sit and read everything word for word or you won't be getting my signature. DON'T LET THESE SALES REPS RUSH YOU THROUGH THE PROCESS READ EVERYTHING SO YOU DON'T GET TAKEN BY COMPANIES LIKE THIS PERIOD!! read more

Eh, the monitoring is great but if you have questions or need an upgrade even after being a customer for over 10 years they don't care. Sorry, buh bye! Ring here I come. read more

Safetouch works their employees like crap. They overwork and overuse them. They work from before the sun rises until way after it goes down. But you won't see the higher ups out past hours. Definitely need better management! They send employees out that don't know what they're doing & expect them to figure out the systems all on their own. The salesmen lie to the customers and make them believe they can upgrade or install a certain system that isn't actually possible to do just so they can get your money! Pissed off at this company. Choose ADT, they actually care about YOU & their own employees! read more

Lost everything I have worked for for 30 years at my business. Had every piece of equipment that Safetouch provides and got zero response during a burglary. Lost 1.8 miilion dollars. Safetouch is a joke. All smoke and mirrors. Don;t be like I was. Read the contract also. They only have $250 liability in their contract. They do not think too much of their own equipment to have such a low liabilty limit. What a joke. read more

We had service 2007 to 2013. Along with alarm a smoke/heat sensor was purchased. We had issues with that sensor and a tech came out. The sensor was disconnected without our knowledge. We paid for the sensor and monitoring for those years. Now we find out the sensor had been disconnected and we contacted Safe Touch. They will take no responsibility for repairing or replacing the sensor. read more

Aldo did a great job! He was on time, profession, courteous, and was extremely friendly. After about 30min, it felt like I had known him forever. Outstanding service! I am ecstatic to finally be a SafeTouch client. read more

Updated review: 3.5 stars. Although I hold that there was not sufficient/acceptable communication from Safetouch during the time I had my service, and the customer service team did not handle my request for refund in an acceptable manner upon cancellation of my service, I will say that after my negative review was posted on Yelp and Facebook, a member from their team immediately reached out to me to do all they could to quickly resolve all my issues in an acceptable manner. He was a million times more respectful than the last two representatives I spoke with and even asked what else I wanted to have done. Although I no longer do business with SafeTouch, I recommended notifying customers in writing of contract renewals instead of assuming people remember the fine print off five year old contracts. He assured me that my suggestion would be presented in the next meeting, so I look forward to hearing only positive feedback about the way they communicate with customers regarding continuation of contract. Changing my review for: speed and consideration of the most recent contact as well as the exceptional respect - a lesson the last two representatives certainly need to learn. Also because consideration of my opinion on how they could improve was requested and I was assured my suggestions were heard and would be brought forward as a legitimate concern. This demonstrated that at least one person in this company values customers and their opinions. Leaving off one and a half stars for: 6+ year history of poor communication and rude customer service after cancelling service. Another recommendation is that I was told to check the system monthly when I had SafeTouch. My current system with Digital Life checks itself and notifies the technician when there is a problem. I got a call from a technician that my system was experiencing power failure and he immediately scheduled a time to come out. When you upgrade your systems, you should add that feature. read more

I have had Safetouch for six years. I was under a contract, but that ran out. Now I pay monthly monitoring. I had some sensors on my system go bad, and; Safetouch came out and replaced the bad sensors for me and the batteries in all the sensors since I had the sensors so long and they were getting old. The monitoring is competitive. I can always get someone on the phone to help my with my system or billing issues such as changing my payment method. They are always initiate testing my system once a month when I call even though it is not always convenient for me to do so. The two way communicator has prevented the police from coming out many times when the system was accidentally set off. I highly recommend using them as a long time customer. read more
