It started with The phone call to start a new alarm system. Courteous people, understanding our needs and setting up the appointment. Everything was smooth. And then the installation was excellent. The technician did a great job explaining how the system works and included all the documents that we needed. Thank You

Thank you Edgar!! Welcome on board!!
They installed the wrong equipment, and then tried to charge me to replace it. I was billed multiple times and overcharged for service. Price lock was promised but they increased the price. They ignore emails for months and refuse to completely fix what they’ve done. Then they harass you by phone to pay them more. They make 10 mistakes, fix 2 of them months later, and try to keep all the extra money they’ve taken! AVOID!

Thank you David!!!
I recently installed monitoring system. I was looking for some features on software. So I accidentally changed the setting, so the monitoring system was activated. It was a little while after alarm sound that I have a call from monitoring system to check what is happening.

Thank you Mike!!
They do provide a great monitoring service BUT here is why they get a one star from me - they took my money, but can't provide a service and refuse to provide a refund. 1) We renewed another annual contract, but I noted to the sales person that we're going to move out of state 2) They processed our annual renewal 3) We moved to another state. I called them to move the service and was told that they don't provide the service there. I asked them to cancel our account and provide the refund for the unused service. They refuse.

Hi Andy: We do apologize for any inconvenience. We do require 30 days notice prior to renewal as outlined on your signed contract. Any unused balance in your account can remain as a credit or can be gifted to another TMC customer. I do believe our Team has reached out to you and all has been agreed upon. Good luck in your new home and please do reach out if we are one-day servicing your new location!!
My call was handled beautifully by your representative, detailed and knowledgeable about the flood sensor devices.

Thank you Margherita!!
One star can not go lower. Cold called me. They left an indecipherable message. I returned their call. I told them I had no idea who they were; rudely, CR said, “If we had called you [If?], we would have left a message.” “Did you listen to the message!” When I responded, I did but could not adequately hear or understand it. Nor do I have a monitoring System. CR rudely replied, “Then ignore it.” Suppose this CR represents this company; good luck to their customers!

Hi Gerry: I believe you need to post your review under the right company. We are The Monitoring Center and we do NOT ... nor have we ever cold call. We are an inbound only.
Moving to TMC was easy. Great support and the technician did a really good job walking us through everything.
