Up until 2007, the home security industry was stale and outdated. All the major companies in the game were using ancient technology that is no longer reliable in this day and age. So thanks to the inefficiency carried forth by the other companies, Frontpoint Security found an entry point into the market.

Frontpoint Security Services & Features

I like Frontpoint because they are a nationwide company that offers an interesting mix of security products and services which many people use to protect their homes effectively. Here is list of all the goodies they have to offer:

• 100% wireless and cellular technology
• Affordable alarm monitoring services
• Top notch smart home security technology
• Indoor and outdoor home security camera systems
• Wireless home automation systems with light control
• Various security and fire sensors to protect your home
• 100% wireless control panels that can be used anywhere
• High quality touch screens and thermostats
• Reliable water flood and CO sensors
• Talking remote touch pads
• Reliable door locks
• Key chain remotes
• Panic pendents

Frontpoint Security Alarm System Pros

Frontpoint offers a ton of high quality security products and services which are mainly geared towards protecting homes. This is something many companies don’t do because they have products that are better suited for commercial use. The fact that Frontpoint does exactly the opposite makes them more appealing to many people.

I also like the fact that Frontpoint offers DIY alarm systems, cameras, and home automation products that anyone can install without the help of a professional installer. Anyone with half a brain can easily install Frontpoints’ products without breaking a sweat. It might also be interesting to note that you actually get to keep the equipment they give you as well. This is a major plus because most companies only lease the equipment to you and they insist on keeping you on a three year contract on top of that. Frontpoint on the other hand, gives you more choices and they don’t try to send an expensive professional installer to your house. You can find more details about their services here .

I’d also like to add that when I researched this company, I discovered they have nothing but glowing reviews. It seems most of their customers are happy with them because Frontpoint has a friendly customer support team which is willing to assist their customers at all times. I mention this because it is very rear in the home security industry, as I’m sure you already know.

Frontpoint Security Alarm System Cons

My only complaint with Frontpoint is that they mail their security alarms, cameras, and home automation products to your house which can be a pain in the ass if they get lost on the way to you. This rarely ever happens because they over night the goodies to you for free via Fedex. However, if your order does get lost in the mail…you can always contact Frontpoint about the issue. To be honest with you, I’ve always found Fedex’s overnight shipping to be pretty reliable, so I don’t think this should be much of a problem.

Conclusion

After all has been said and done, I would say Frontpoint Security is best option for most people because they are a popular company that offers the best home security deals and their customer service is pretty impressive.

ADT Pulse Home Automation Services & Features

ADT’s Pulse comes with a significant number of features and services that some folks are finding useful. Here is a detailed list of what ADT has to offer its customers:

• 24 hour monitoring services
• Remote arming & disarming of their system
• Monitored water & flood sensors
• Automated security alerts
• Energy efficiency to help you save money
• Lighting & thermostat control

ADT Pulse Home Automation Pros

ADT Pulse gives its users the capability to save money and the environment by automatically controlling the temperature in your home and even turning the lights off if you forgot them on. This is a pretty cool feature to have on a home security system.

ADT Pulse Home Automation Cons

ADT however, has a bit of bad reputation when it comes to customer service issues. They are clearly the biggest security company in Canada but many people seem to be leaving them because they are frustrated with the way ADT is treating them. Another thing that bugs me a bit lies in the fact that ADT is the most expensive home security solution out there. I also don’t like that they insist on sending a technician to your home to install their system. .

Conclusion

My final thoughts are ADT is worth checking out if you’re willing to over pay for their services. Frontpoint Security can offer the same services to you at a much better price and they don’t force you to have a technician come over because their DIY system is so easy to install on your own. However, if you prefer to go with ADT, I would suggest taking advantage of their current special offers here . Just make sure you mention promo code A98154 or else you wont get any of their deals.

AlarmForce Services & Features

AlarmForce seems to take pride in their live two way voice technology. Come to think of it, I think that’s their whole shtick because some companies actually charge customers more for this tech to be utilized on their system. Here is a list of the products and services offered by this company.

• live two way voice monitoring
• live two way voice surveillance cameras
• smoke and carbon monoxide detectors
• flood sensors
• portable key fobs

AlarmForce Pros

What AlarmForce have going for them is their affordable pricing structure that’s similar to what Frontpoint Security has to offer. However, the basic plans on AlarmForce usually start at about $25 per month but you have to be on a long term contract (three years to be precise). Also, like I mentioned before, their live two way voice technology is included in their packages for no extra charge.

AlarmForce Cons

Based on the feedback im getting from others on web, its plain to see that AlarmForce is getting too many complaints about the quality of their equipment…in fact some say the batteries run out pretty fast on the sensors which kind of defeats the purpose of getting an alarm system in your home.

Another common complaint is regarding their customer service. I often hear people say the customer service reps at this company can be rude to customers, so you need to be aware of this before you decide to go with this company. In addition to that, AlarmForce requires you to have a technician come to your home to install the system which can be a hassle for most folks because they have to take a day off work to deal with this issue.

Conclusion

The fact that AlarmForce has decent prices is quite nice but looking at the cons associated with their service, one would have to consider choosing other low cost solutions like the ones offered by Frontpoint Security because you’ll get better service and higher quality equipment.

Chubb Security Services & Features

Chubb Security offers a decent number of security products and services to Canadian households. Here’s a full list of all the goodies they have to offer:

• Business Security Solutions
• Building Solutions
• Home Security Solutions
• Fire Systems
• Sprinklers
• Alarm Monitoring

Chubb Security Systems Pros

Like I mentioned before, Chubb is known for their fire protection services. This is something that they really excel at, so if fire protection is the main thing on your mind…you may want to consider them. However, when it comes to home security alarm systems, I wouldn’t say they are as good as Frontpoint Security .

Chubb Security Systems Cons

Unfortunately for Chubb Security, I’ve heard that their customer service skills aren’t up to par with their fire protection systems. This and the fact that they require new customers to get a professional installer to put the system in your home sucks in my opinion.

Conclusion

Chubb Security is only a good choice if you need to get fire protection for your home. In regards to getting the best quality home security services, I would suggest looking into Frontpoint Security .

Now fast-forward today, Sonitrol Canada has become a household name in the security market place that serves about 180 cities throughout the United States and Canada. They are mainly focused on providing electronic security solutions that are geared towards businesses and schools, but they could be a decent option for home security if you are planning on getting fire alarm monitoring services because that’s about all they can do for your home. The rest of their services are for commercial uses only.

Sonitrol Canada Services & Features

Here is a complete list of all the products and services they provide:

• Verified Audio Detection
• Monitored Video Services
• Fire Alarm Monitoring Services
• Keyless Access Control Systems

Sonitrol Canada Pros

This company is pretty popular among commercial and school circles. They provide quality security services to businesses and also dabble a little in the home security space.

Sonitrol Canada Cons

As I mentioned earlier, Sonitrol is mainly a business and school security service provider. They are not focused on provided home security services in the same way Frontpoint Security does so that could be a black mark against Sonitrol.

Conclusion

I would suggest picking this company only if you are interested in getting a fire alarm monitoring service provider. If you want other services for your home…you may want to consider Frontpoint Point and maybe Vivint Canada to.

DSI Security Systems Services & Features

DSI Security has a variety of services that may be of interest to those of you in Manitoba. Their services include fire protection, flood protection, security camera instillation, and burglar & theft protection services. Here is a more detailed list of all the services they have to offer:

• Residential Security, Fire, & Life-Safety Systems
• Environmental, Flood, and automation systems
• Commercial Systems
• Access Control & Biometric Systems
• Real-time Remote Video Monitoring
• Object Oriented Video & Analytics
• CCTV & DVR

• Chemical, Biological & Radiological Detection
• Explosive & Narcotic Detection Systems
• Burglary & Theft Protection
• Fire Protection
• Environmental & Temperature Detection
• Crew GPS Locating Systems
• Long-range video and wireless networks

DSI Security Systems Pros

I like the fact that DSI Security Systems is located in Canada and that they have a local monitoring center in Manitoba. It doesn’t really matter where a monitoring center is located because they can alert the authorities at the same speed as an out of town monitoring station. However, in this case…im glad DSI Security is a local Canadian company.

DSI Security Systems Cons

This company seems to have a strong presence in Manitoba only and they don’t seem to be as focused on home security services as much as Frontpoint Security does. This can be a bit of a head ache for most home owners in other provinces since DSI isn’t as well known there.

Conclusion

I would say this company would be worth looking into if you live in Manitoba and you’re more interested in commercial security services. If home security is the main thing on your mind, I would suggest taking a look at what Frontpoint Security and Vivint have to offer.

Reliance Protectron Services & Features

Protectron offers a reasonable number of home security services which are as follows:

• Intrusion Protection
• Fire Protection
• Carbon Monoxide Detection
• Flooding & Temperature Protection
• Alarm Monitoring
• Interactive Services

Reliance Protectron Pros

I like the fact that Reliance Protectron offers 24 hour service to all their customers because you never know when you might need them. You might also want to know that this company has a high-tech remote monitoring centre that is said to be certified by Underwriter’s Laboratories of Canada (ULC) so you can be assured of reliable monitoring services.

Reliance Protectron Cons

I’ve often heard people complain that the alarm systems they got from Protectron are very sensitive and they can get triggered by pets easily. Another common complaint I keep hearing is that their alarms sometimes won’t shut of once they are triggered and you end up having to call customer service for help. The fact that you need to have an installer come over to your house when you purchase a system is also disappointing because I personally don’t like strangers coming into my home for hours on end.

Conclusion

Reliance Protectron is a decent company to go with if you are willing to deal with a TON of false alarms which seem to easily get triggered by this companies’ sensitive system. Having a professional installer coming over to your house is another hassle you’ll have to deal with. Most people prefer to avoid this because they don’t want to pay instillation fees so they choose companies like Frontpoint Security since they don’t require you to get an installer.

Intercon Security Services & Features

Intercon has a variety of security products which range from door and window hardware, access control systems, alarm systems, closed circuit television systems, and biometric readers. They also provide locksmithing services that seem to be more geared towards corporations and business owners.

Intercon Security Pros

This company has a large catalog of security products that you can take advantage of, which can cause you to get a bit of headache just going through the vast number of products in their arsenal. I was just on their website checking out what they have and I was impressed.

Intercon Security Cons

I think Intercon offers too many services which aren’t geared to home owners, which totally sucks for regular folks like us. Most of their complex security solutions seem to have businesses in mind. Also, just trying to understand what this company does is a little difficult based judging from what I saw on their website.

Conclusion

Intercon Security is a good choice for people looking to protect their business. If you are more interested in a reliable home security focused company, I would suggest looking into Frontpoint Security and maybe Vivint as well.
