Cons
- Below Average Warranty
- Focus on Business
Below Average Warranty
One potential downside to their basic package is that it only provides a one-year parts and labor warranty.
Customers may be without coverage on their system for several years unless they pay a monthly service fee to extend the warranty.
Typically, if a company demands that customers pay for the system in full they will provide some flexibility on the contract length; however, Sentry does not provide this option.
Focus on Business
Though the company does provide home security, there isn't much residential security pricing or package information on its website.
Sentry Security systems may be best suited to commercial and enterprise locations.
