Vincent is the man! I run into some issue during Friday night out of business hours. Luckily, my phone was picked up by Vincent C. He knows the system very well. Most importantly, he is very patient with request. He basically walk through to debug the problem, one thing at one one time, and finally get problem resolved. This is Friday night otherwise I have to wait until next Monday. Highly recommend Vincent for his customer obsession, expertise and integrity!!!

Technical service sucks big time! Absolutely not helpful and not professional. Emergency call is a joke - no one calls back after 4h!!!

We are really happy having AEC protecting our homes as well as our businesses. They are a family own company, so their services are exceptionally personal. When it comes to trouble, they are on top of things! They will work with you personally to resolve the issue quickly. The turn around time is amazing every single time. It is also nice when they are local, their tech can be on site when the issue can't be resolved offsite. I like to call out Vincent in their tech support team to be extraordinary. You know when you work with him is he will go above his work requirements to meet your needs

Scammed by this horrible chinese-owned company. As a chinese person, i feel disgraced.

Canceled their service twice in a year over the phone. First time they said it didnt go through, 2nd time they said they never reiceived my call.

Had no working service for over a year and still got billed. Will fight these scumbags to the last tooth.

Luckily i have an attorney brother who is helping me. Will be seeing these crooks in court. ;)
