I am a long term customer of Protect America, and I will stay with them as long as they're in business. The people whom I have talked to have been very helpful. Everything was easy to install and gives me peace of mind from a security standpoint.

My mother purchased a security system from Protect America and suggested that I get it. I work for a police department so I felt it would be necessary thing to have so I purchased a system as well. I've been very happy with it so far. The company has gone out of their way to help. 10/10.

I knew about Protect America back east but now I live in Colorado. I got Protect America basically to protect the house because you knever know when you are going to need it, especially when you go to sleep at night. Often times, when I come down the steps, the thing goes off because I forgot to turn it off upstairs, but besides that, it's great!

Maurice Knauer Felton, PA

We live out in the country and a lot of houses were being broken into and I used to work night shifts. We decided to get a security system to protect the family and our home. After researching different progam systems, I found Protect America. We purchased the smoke and burglar services. So far we haven't had any problems. They've made replacements to the system with no charge.

The Home Security Representative was very helpful. I do not think it would have needed to get to the point that they needed to step in if Brinks would make sure the technical assistant folks are checking any and all issues when they are called on and Brink's Texting assistant absolutely SUCKS. It seems to be driven by automated questions and after 5 minutes, I quit using it as I had not even texted with a real person yet.

This account belonged to my dad who passed away on November 2, 2024. He would have been 96 on his birthday in April 2025. I live approximately 50 miles from him but always had peace of mind that he was being taken care of by Brinks Home Security. When he passed, it was so easy to work with him to keep the security intact.

I received an email offering to lock in my monthly rate at $30.18 (rate was $42) by renewing a 36 month contract. I accepted the offer but my next bill was still $42. I called to find out why and was told the $30.18 was before taxes and fees. No where did it say the $30 was the base rate plus taxes or I would have stayed month to month. I spoke with a rep who was very helpful and able to get my rate down to $33 per month for 40 months, but still, Brinks falsely advertised a promotional rate so that's why I am giving them three stars. The customer service rep was excellent, but I shouldn't have had to call her at all, my new bill should have just been $30.18.

I was told by a representative I could receive a monthly statement in the mail. Last week I received my credit card statement in the mail and, I see Protect America billed my credit card. I called and spoke with a representative about the charge and, I explained that I was promised a statement by mail. The representative told me he would go back and listen to the recording of my conversation to make a determination regarding my statement. So far, I have not heard back nor do I expect to hear anything. I am very disappointed about this issue.

Not enough information prior to purchase. They didn't spec out my needs. Instead of asking good questions to determine what types of components would be the best fit for our home, they sold me a generic system which doesn't fit. We are still trying to figure out what gets returned and what gets replaced. Also the camera they sold me for an outrageous price is worthless. It's night vision is terrible. Overall they are way overpriced.

Some things work well, others don't. The system has sensor issues. The one works intermittently stating it is being bypassed when arming. The system is poor at cellular communication because of weak signal in my area. I told them about signal issues and assured me it would be fine because it's a 3G communication. In addition the app works sporadically often saying the system is offline likely because of that weak signal.
