Horrible Service - Stay Away people

You get only 3 days to cancel after signing up and after that you are threatened with huge cancellation fee.
The person came to us misrepresenting that he works with ADT.
I think giving just 3 days to change your mind is predatory. How would someone know the response of the service in just 3 days!!
Now , I am tied to this contract and they demand thousands of dollars for canceling the contract.
We called them , no help. We emailed them - no response. Everyone STAY AWAY

The sales rep never identified himself…

Update: Safehome said they would contact me with their reply from my post back in January. It's now March and no call. SHOCKER!!

The sales rep never identified himself as being with Safe Home Direct until we signed paperwork. We broke out contract with ADT because of this. The installer helped us with those fees and made a much better experience and we wound up sticking with Safe Home. However we recently had some trespassers and our next door neighbor had their fence kicked in. When I went to our new outdoor camera to obtain the footage it picked up I couldn't access it. When I called Safe Home to have them help me over the phone there was NO ANSWER! I left a message and 3 days later still NO call back. I was supposed to give the footage to the police officer investigating the case and wasn't able to. I certainly don't feel safe knowing there is no one on the other end there to pick up my phone call during my time of need. Isn't that why you have an alarm system? Now I have a 5 year contract with this company and certainly don't feel safe with them. Do your research before switching. I wish I stuck to my gut and never switched.

Great Experience!

Andrew from safe homes just helped us upgrade our system. He was on time and provided an eta for his arrival. He was dressed professionally and presented himself clearly. His information was concise yet informative. He was familiar with our old equipment and shared the differences we could expect. Andrew was very nice and if the company is anything like their sales representative, I think we will be very happy. Well done Andrew!

Great owner and tech to work with.
Did not care for AI chat and method of confirming authorization. I almost stopped the process due to that. I am hoping AI isn't in charge of my account.

We were very pleased with the…way Sean handled the entire switch from the system we had to what we now have.

We were very pleased with the professionalism and determination to achieve the best installation that Sean Holliday had. He worked everything precisely as it needed to be handled. The new system is definitely much different from the one we've used for the past 33 years; but it's easier to handle and seems to be more efficient. And of course, we anticipate the monitoring to be 100% better than what we had with the last company that we were sold to.

Changing alarm companies

I was explained about what to expect and if I had any questions Sean took the time to answer. It was hard changing after 25 years with another company. I just hope that Safe Home does the job that I expect.

Regretting my change to Safe Home Direct

My poor experience has lasted the entire time I have had the system. We will buy out your load for the system you are leaving...........RIGHT! Salesperson led me to believe it would automatically be done. NO I have to call and request it. I did what they asked me to do on 4/1/24. got this response: Thank you for sending us this information. We will begin to process this buyout. Please allow 7-14 business days for this process to finalize. It is MAY 7th and I am still being billed for my OLD/ UNINSTALLED system as well as the loan that was supposed to be bought out!!!
The alarm constantly going off just when I open my garage door! I can't access the cameras! I am so angry I could scream!!

Regarding the buyout process, I understand how delays and miscommunication have caused inconvenience. I will ensure this is reviewed and expedited immediately so we can address your billing concerns.

As for the issues with your system, including the alarm and camera access, I’d like to work with you to troubleshoot and resolve these problems as quickly as possible.

However, I’ve been unable to locate your account based on the information provided. Could you please reach out to us directly at or provide your account details so we can identify your account and address these issues promptly?

Your trust is important to us, and I’d appreciate the opportunity to improve your experience with Safe Home Direct.

Thank you for your understanding, and I look forward to resolving this for you.
