Guardfather Security Arvostelua 

I have been looking for a DIY alarm system for a while and I came across Guardfather security. I've never heard of this company before and I looked into it and some some research. I previously had a DIY alarm system and it was hard to set up.

I got in touch via email to ask a couple of questions and Simon got back to me straight away, even after working hours. I always prefer a smaller company as the customer service is excellent. Simon answered all my questions and I then purchased the system.

Installing the system was so easy, the app is straight forward to use and really simple to add the components to the hub.

I did have a problem with the hub initially, but like with all electronic items these things happen but got in touch via the number provided and the problem was solved asap.

I have tested the system multiple times and it works amazing and my home feels safer.

Customer service is excellent and the alarm system is excellent, I would 100% recommend this system to anyone, I have already showed my friends and family and they are considering buying it as well.

Very pleased with the alarm system, Very quick to setup and easy to use won’t hesitate to order other items as and when needed!

I found this company after doing a google search for alarm companies, after watching all the you tube videos I was impressed by what I’d seen enough to place a tailor made order with them. Fast delivery and everything accounted for. The installation was easy and very quick. This is exactly what I needed and I’m WELL IMPRESSED with the results. That siren is very loud and the outdoor sensor on low setting is very efficient. Thank you Simon 5* product and 5* service

Great range of accessories for the alarm system. Just added the smoke detector this time. The system is so flexible we can alarm the garage and back garden in the evening whist the house alarm is not activated. Great peace of mind and high quality. Definitely recommend

Amazing alarm and even better support!

I’d been researching wireless DIY security systems for a while and came across Simon’s videos on YouTube. They convinced me to try the Guardfather Security System and I’m so glad I did.

The setup was genuinely easy. The video tutorials walked me through everything step by step and I had the whole system up and running quickly. When I had a couple of questions, the customer support was outstanding. Fast replies, clear guidance and it really felt like they cared about helping me get everything right.

The equipment feels solid and well built. Nothing cheap or flimsy. You can tell a lot of thought has gone into the design and quality. I feel properly protected now and I’m absolutely made up with my decision to go with Guardfather.

Thanks again to the team. Five stars from me.

Sorry, a long review!

Looking into an existing Texecom alarm system, and the problems we had with it, lead me to Simon’s videos on YouTube, as he talked about Texecom in some of them. He also mentioned Guardfather, that had recently been released and seemed to offer all that I needed (as I didn't like the Texecom system and it didn't work).

I wanted an alarm system that was modern and easy to set up and install myself. One that I could configure, adjust and extend easily so that it worked how I wanted it to work. I wanted a notification on my phone if anything happened. I didn’t want to be tied to a subscription, or to an alarm company.

I looked at various DIY alarm systems, but some just looked like toys. Many needed a subscription. Some seemed to lack functionality. Other wireless systems looked easy enough to set up, but it seemed like manufacturers didn’t want people to be able to purchase and install them themselves – you needed an alarm company.

Guardfather ticked all of the boxes. Ordering was easy and delivery was quick. It was straight forward to install and configure (with a lot of sensors), and it’s been easy to use. Every item came with a printed leaflet with full instructions and specification, plus there’s Simon’s YouTube videos to show you how to set it up too.

The hardware looks good - although the outside siren is a bit smaller than I expected. But it's still loud and I'm growing more used to it now.

The app is totally free, feature-packed and well-designed. You can check or change settings, arm/disarm the system, monitor battery levels, add new devices, and do lots of other things from the app. We also have a keypad for the alarm, but mostly we just operate it from the app.

A nice feature is that the various alarm states are colour–coded so that you can quickly check if it’s in the armed, stay or disarmed state just from the colour (red, blue or green).

We’ve got it all set up just as we want it, with notifications of events direct to our phones via app, email, SMS or phone calls. I can add more on later if required, it’s fully functional, and there’s no on-going costs for Guardfather.

It feels like it’s our system, not like we’re renting it from an alarm company as it might do if we had to have a subscription to use it or maybe needed it regularly servicing. We don't need someone to visit just to change batteries.

Guardfather support has always been on hand to quickly answer any questions or help with problems. Everything so far has been excellent and I would recommend Guardfather to anyone if they’re ok with doing a bit of DIY and configuring in an app.

Hopefully the range of available devices will expand soon so that we can add on a range extender (just in case), water sensors, etc.

I do wonder if many users still find themselves saying "Godfather" though...

I wanted to replace my old wired alarm. I did my research before I purchased my Guardfather alarm system. I asked Simon a few questions all answered promptly. The system is now installed all very easy with the helpful YouTube videos. All working as promised.I like that there is no subscription and the free app is easy to use.I cannot fault the customer service I have received from Simon he has certainly gone the extra mile. I would not hesitate to recommend the Guardfather alarm system. A very happy customer. Thank you

Returning customer back for some extras excellent service again

Hi just thought i would give some feedback.
I ordered a kit with enough add ons to cover two properties that we have that are next to each other. Four doors, two motion and two smoke alarms alongside the 4 keyfobs. Received a welcome email so I had already downloaded the APP before the kit arrived. Kit came at around 11.00am and I set all the bits and bobs up in around an hour. I made a plan and named the sensors on a peice of A4 paper to show where each sensor was going to be placed, this helped name them on the APP too. Took around another hour to screw,stick and make good the hardware. All worked out the box as expected and I would rate the quality off all the fixings and fittings and hardware that was supplied.
I bought this kit to replace a Yale set up we have had and so far am happier with the Guardfather kit for a number of reasons. One reason the Yale remotes are either easy to press in a pocket or you have to fiddle with a teeny tiny switch that switches the remotes off, the Gaurdfather ones are of a much better design. The Yale kit had issues with the App and also had battery back issues with the control unit from month 10 and we never really got it sorted fully, this clearly is early days for the Guardfather kit so fingers crossed we get a better life from the back up battery.
All in all the ease of set up, due to the easy-to-watch and follow video above has made this kit a doddle to fit and set up. Thanks very much and fingers crossed the cameras are not long in coming. Cheers. Paul Robbie, REVERSEE Ltd.

Great bit of kit, had a little issue with set up but the tech guys soon sorted it, quality product and reliable.

System works great, was easy to install snd the technical support line was very helpful.

Brilliant piece of kit. Simple to set up, no additional fee’s and works a treat. So far so good!

I’m not usually one for DIY tech stuff but this was surprisingly straightforward. Took my time, followed the videos, and it all worked first time. No complaints — the wife’s happy too which is always a bonus.

Love my Guardfather system!
Super easy to set up (even for someone like me), and I feel so much safer knowing I’m in control without any sneaky subscription fees. The YouTube guides were a lifesaver, and support was quick and helpful when I needed it. Genuinely recommend it!

Really impressed with The Guardfather system.
I found it easy to set up thanks to the clear YouTube videos, and I like that I’m not tied into any monthly fees. It feels good to actually own my security system and be in full control of it. The support has been excellent when I had questions, and the whole experience has just felt honest and straightforward. I’ll definitely be sticking with Guardfather.
