For years I have been calling frontpoint to complain about the doorbell camera they have sent me. They have replaced it a few times and it is always the same issue. My camera will detect some motion but not the ones that matter (i.e. a stranger standing right in front of my doorbell). I had a stranger bang on my door last night two times and my doorbell never detected the motion. I had a stranger today come up to my door and knock and no doorbell detection or recording. My doorbell was working earlier and just stops. I also called friends to come over and again it does not show any recording, or notification that someone arrived or left. However, my app shows when I opened the door to let my guest enter and exit, just no recording. I do NOT feel safe with this system. I have and frontpoint has it documented how often this doorbell fails. The excuse frontpoint attempts to use is my wifi. When I speak to frontpoint staff they realize my wifi is not the issue, due to it being high speed. Also my indoor camera, which is further from my router, never gives me issues with live streams. If someone rings my doorbell, the app takes longer than 30 seconds to pull up the video feed. By that time the person is gone and it is not recorded. My doorbell only records when I missed answering the notification or when it wants to. I have spoken to many frontpoint technicians, so my settings are fine. I always spend up to an hour speaking to technicians frequently to address this issue, which has to occur during work hours which causes me to be late back to work. I am paying way to much money for a system that does not work, is outdated, and is a safety concern. Should that individual from last night return, there would be no video feed to show the police. I do not feel safe with your system and I'm requesting either a technician come out free of charge and fix it, or frontpoint allow me to cancel my plan with no penalties as my documentation has spanned over 4 years.Business Response

My wife and I called into cancel month to month on April 16th,2022. We were in process of moving and wanted to cancel to focus on move. I received a call today (Sep 9 2022) attempting to charge my cc. I advised I canceled back in April. They transferred to customer service who confirmed I called in April to cancel. Darius advised since my wife didn’t click a link that service remained active. I advised my wife & I haven’t lived in home since May. After putting me hold, Darius confirmed with supervisor that yes we had canceled, he understood no one in family was living there but that all past and current charges would be required and if we didn’t click on new link we would be sent to collections. I advised I wanted to cancel the account, be refunded from cancelation both parties acknowledged, and have current charges dropped from the date requested (April 16th 2022) both parties acknowledged. This is unscrupulous business behavior designed to entrap customers into recurring payments, prevent cancelation, ignore customer request to cancel, and try to steal as much as possible before account is terminated. When presented with facts no attempt to fix. If not resolved, I will be contacting state AG and exploring fraud and FTC options regarding the matter.Business Response

The first letter was sent December 2021 and the certified letter was sent July 2022. Each of the letters has been ignored.Business Response
