Cons
You would think that a company that uses the most advanced central station receiver in the world – the MLR 2000 Virtual Receiver, would offer all of the devices typically found through their competitors; however, since their authorized dealers have different equipment, equipment availability will vary.
Surprisingly, Monotronics does not publish rates for monitoring or installation or give information about the availability of a service plan. Potential customers may also find it a bit frustrating trying to find information about the availability of a service plan before signing up for new service. Monitronics' website will only redirect a customer to a sales specialist via customer service number, and Monitronics' corporate office only provides customer support by phone.
In addition, there is no way to request a service call from the Monitronics' website. When purchasing a Monitronics system, customers will need to contact their local dealer directly to receive assistance using their system, for their account services or to schedule repairs. Also, customers could suffer transmission issues if they opt to ditch their traditional phone line to utilize new VoIP technologies. As of yet, VoIP technology does not have a uniform set of standards.
Products and Services They Offer
Problems caused by burglary tampering, weather conditions, construction, vandalism and other scenarios can disable your telephone line; the standard route used to connect your home alarm system to a monitoring center. In response to these scenarios, Monotronics has offered two alternatives to the traditional landline-based security system: broadband / VOIP security systems and cell phone based security systems.
Cell Phone Home Security Alarm Monitoring
When traditional phone lines and VoIP connection are not available, wireless security systems communications are still possible using a cell unit as the primary connection to Monitronics. They are typically made using Monitronics' cellular systems and components. as either a backup or primary security with wireless signals sent to their panel.
Summary
Overall, Monitronics provides excellent round-the-clock customer service. Authorized dealers of Monotronics can help customers with concerns as to how to move existing equipment into a new home, switching phone service, referrals, tips on how to care for their alarm system when they're remodeling, obtaining an alarm permit and more!
Unfortunately, authorized dealers set their own prices and policies. A customer in one city may receive a better deal when purchasing a Monitronics system then another customer purchasing it in a different city. Compared to their higher-rated rivals, Monotronics doesn't provide direct access to customer service or provide information about repair service plans. Therefore, potential customers should check with their local dealer to ensure they have all of the devices they want and read all of the details of Monotronics' services before signing up.
