STAY AWAY!!!! I had my account on auto pay and could not make a payment. Palmetto Alarm had the nerve to file a case with the state fraudulent check department when I could not make the payment. I was ONE month behind!!! The lady at the fraudulent check department said she had no choice but to proceed with charges against me if I did not make the payments. Do yourself a favor and avoid these guys at all cost. There are plenty of other options out there.

Great installation of our home security system and great service. Also gave us instruction on how to view the recordings on our security cameras. Additionally connected our doorbell to ring through the security system.

Preys on the elderly! Advised my 90 year old mom does not have the capacity to understand signing a 5 YEAR CONTRACT. I received a copy of her contract and it further proves my suspicion...there are electronic signatures AND an email address in my moms name! My mom knows NOTHING about email!! Fraud, at best, unethical.
Called for assistance and to advise no payments would be forthcoming, I explained they are welcome to pick up their equipment. I was told a mechanical lien would be placed on her home! Anyone with a single good eye could see she isn't competent to understand what she signed. Mom
