Alliance Security Reviews

Alliance Security is currently licensing its equipment from 2GIG Technologies, a renowned hardware manufacturer with great knowledge about security equipment. The pillar of all Alliance Security’s home defense systems is the touch-screen control panel, which has a full-color display, and fitted with an emergency alert button. Pushing it quickly alarms the police forces with the help of the monitoring center. It also has a constant connection with the motion sensors and security cameras. Don’t be afraid: even if criminals get their hands on the base station, it won’t stop sending distress signal thanks to the unique “crash and smash” technology. You can always count on the console if you wish to foresee the future: the stream of weather forecasts is a great way to prepare for the elements.

Dependable equipment

A dependable range of alert equipment is available for those who choose the company. Criminal entry sensors (or more commonly known as window or door sensors) are small contacts that cleverly hide on the frame of an entrance, and notify the homeowners when someone opens the door or window. In addition to the standard purpose, clever parents can use it to monitor how often the kids looted the candy cabinet. The glass-break sensor is a useful way to alert the whole neighborhood when a forceful intrusion happens. The device is programmed to recognize the sound of glass break, and silently notify the monitoring station. The motion sensor serves a similar role: put it around the corner or hide it in the shadows, so it can keep track of unauthorized trespassers. Alliance Security even has a supply of fire and carbon monoxide detectors to defend your family from threats of nature. For those who wish a more complete protection, video monitoring is the best option. The company can help you build the perfect spy network with wireless Wi-Fi cameras that record in crystal-clear 720 HD picture.

The company vowed to present the best available monitoring service for security alert owners. That’s why Alliance Security started a partnership with Monitronics back in 2008. Since then, any emergency call made by a customer is answered in less than 24 seconds. Monitronics’ response operatives underwent a comprehensive training to ensure the quickest situation assessment. Their monitoring center received the renowned Five Diamond Certification from the CSAA, and employees handle every call in a professional manner.

The company’s smartphone activation can fulfill more than one role: it can be your watchdog, instantly alarming you when the motion sensors picked up the movements of strangers. It can be a nanny, constantly supervising the kids through the cameras. Or it can be the family’s butler, setting the optimal amount of lightings and temperature in the rooms. Alliance Security’s mobile app knows all this, and even provides weather forecasts. The application is available for iOS and Android devices.

Home automation

Controlling the electrical equipment and doors inside your house with a single tap on the phone is no longer a sci-fi vision. Utilizing the latest advancements in the home automation world, Alliance Security helps customers build a convenient smart home. Remotely closable locks are a surefire way to keep the doors tight. The smart bolt inside the lock needs no key, just a command sent from a smartphone or keyfob. This way you can get rid of the need to search your pocket or bag every time after you arrive from work. These locks are also harder to pick by burglars.

Lighting and appliance modules are small gadgets you can connect to a lamp so it can be turned on and off remotely. It not only spares you from getting distracted from a good book or movie because the lights need to be changed, but also helps you stop wasting energy. The smart thermostat works in a similar fashion: a light tap on the console or smartphone sets the perfect temperature, and it can be done from the other side of the town.

Alliance Security understands the need for a wide range of payment packages, so people aren’t forced to purchase a system with unwanted features. The company provides a large variety of offers: there are three plans with increasing amount of value and home security equipment, plus four additional packages are designed to appeal to people with different lifestyles. Alliance Security allows homeowners to rent the security equipment for free, and the monthly monitoring fee is the only charge needed to be paid. An initial commitment is also required, and it lasts between three and five years, depending on the customer’s choice. It’s noteworthy to mention that the company provides the installation, sending accredited technicians to your home.

Packages by feature

Mobile Control is the company’s most popular offer. The reason is simple: it features a good amount of value for your money. For $48.99 per month, customers can enjoy all the benefits of the constant monitoring service, and be showered with information and weather forecasts when using the mobile application. The package includes a motion detector, a firefighter communicator unit, entry sensors, a keyfob remote control, and a touchscreen control panel that has two-way voice capabilities. This system is stepping stone for customization, as home automation and video monitoring devices can be added to it.

True to its name, Home Control is a package for those who wish to command the house in a convenient manner. The plan showcases similar traits to Mobile Control, only updated with home automation solutions. Besides the remote door lock, this offer adds a smart thermostat or two electrical appliance modules to the list. Last but not least, Secure Vision is for those who want to establish a video surveillance network around the house. Although the deal mainly focuses on video monitoring, home automation equipment can be added to it. Both of these packages cost $59.99 for a month, and need $99 as initial charge.

Packages by lifestyle

Alliance Security adjusted the pricing offers to create special service plans that most people would find beneficial. All offers cost $48.99 per month, and have $0 activation fee. Although the deal is very promising, out of the four packages only two differ from the standard package. The Suburban Neighborhoods and Suburban Family are identical to Mobile Control: other than the matching price, they include the same amount of equipment, and the monitoring service is also the same. Senior Living is a package that is catering to independent seeking elderly. Seniors still receive a considerate amount of security equipment to feel safe, but the real protector is the H.E.L.P. medical alert pendant that can be used to easily call for help in a medical emergency. The Techie package is an ideal dear for people who are crazy for home automation and wish to have the control panel of the house at their fingertips. For a slightly reduced amount of security equipment they can enjoy the benefits of a smart thermostat or two remotely operating appliance modules.

Alliance Security is more like a security installer than a security provider. The company offers stellar protection for house owners, but it lacks actual service: the monitoring is done by Monitronics, while the equipment is provided by 2GIG Technologies. The security products cover all the basic needs of the residents, but the environment detectors lack variety. The website is very enticing, but other than convincing arguments, there are no actual details about the units. Professional installation and medical help button are a definitive plus, and the wide range of payment plans is also great. Unfortunately the monthly prices are a bit high compared to other companies.
