Very prompt in getting our system to us. Also while installing the tech was very patient and knowledgable with setting the system up. System is very easy to operate and my 7 year old granddaughter is the one who always wants to arm and disarm the system.

Jund Killeen, TX

Just recently called for prices so I could compare. The gentleman I spoke to was great. However I don't like the pressure they try to put on you to get their system. It's a 3 year commitment, when I told them I wanted to discuss with my husband as well as compare their system with other systems, I'm told that the only way to get the prices we discussed was to commit now during the 1st call. Hello??? It's like a threat. Not wanting people to make a good choice that suits there budget or to be able to compare what other companies offer. But to make a quick decision. If the company truly stood behind how great they were they wouldn't fear you shopping around before commiting to a 3 year commitment. If so choose this company and call back and I am not honored the prices we 1st discussed, I'll be back and re-rate this company and go with another company. If they do honor it, Ill come back and re-rate as well.

I have had nothing but positive experiences using MONI Smart Security. Installation, equipment, and Customer service has been on point and exceeded our expectations. Not sure if the issues stated in other reviews was overall or regional, but the service received in Las Vegas has been stellar to date.

Thanks for letting me express the relief I have with the package that Protect America gave me. I am much less worried about my House when I leave town. Because I know that my place is well protected. I'm very happy with the service I have received.

Super easy to work with. Fast service. Rescheduled multiple times and they were very accommodating. I was intimidated when I opened the package because I would be installing myself but my guide did a great job explaining everything and it was easy, fast, and straightforward.

I had just finished the email inquiry when the phone rang. The agent was courteous and provided me with good information. They followed up the next week and will check back next month. If they are as responsive to an alert as they are to an inquiry, no worries.

I would have given 10 stars but, to be fair, opted for 9 because it's the only security system we've had. So we have no other company to which we might compare it. Jacksonville Beach, FL

He made me an offer that I couldn't refuse. All the equipment arrived in a couple of days & the lovely lady who walked me through the set up has the patience of Job.

They had High ratings from the review sites that I looked at.However after seeing the reviews for the mobile app this company was using, the number of recent and poor reviews was greater than the positive reviews by a large margin. This is why I decided not to use them at this time. However all other interactions with this company was extremely positive.

I had quite a few issues with my system and gave Moni a quick call and they were able to help me and walk me through trouble shooting my system, so that I wouldn’t have to waste a day of vacation. I love my security system and the company too!

I have been a customer for 1 year. Customer service people are excellent and very knowledgeable. They help you and then follow up in a day or so to assure that you do not have a continued issue. I had one alarm activation and notification was quick and thorough. The equipment is easy to use and robust. The Alarm.com app for the phone works great and the panel provides arming flexibility for a variety of needs. I would recommend this service and was surprised that it was not rated higher.

We've been happy with their basic plan - sign, two doors covered, two rooms with motion detectors, one smoke detector, two keychain remotes and a control unit @$19.95 per mo., self installed with tech telephone help, one year agreement. We own the equipment, which was not all that expensive. They provided help with application paperwork for our local police department and have otherwise given us good customer service.

The service has been excellent. I really value the security and ability to watch my home when I am away. In comparison to the other systems Moni is most user friendly. I have not experienced any customer service calls or billing issues, so I can not review on those departments.

AWESOMELY affordable. Been around much longer than their DIY competitors. Sales and install are very knowledgeable. Well rated on several alarm company sites. Only downfall is you're tied into a 3yr contract and customer service can take 30min to answer the phone...being on hold. Which is why i request a call back and i don't lose my place in line.

I have been a customer of Moni since 1997. I called with a billing issue and spoke with an agent named Arnold. He was great. He was very cooperative, patient, knowledgeable and very helpful. I was pleased with the ease it was having this issue resolved. I couldn't have asked for a better agent than Arnold.

Richard Quint Seattle, WA

So far so good, had the service @ 9 years now. The only problem I've had is on the rare occasion (three times, I think) that I've had to have them come out to fix something they've tried to tell me it was gonna be "a couple weeks" before they could get somebody out there. Sorry folks - this is a burglar alarm system. Burglars don't take time off! Should be NEXT DAY SERVICE - at the latest! Guess the salesman lied when he said they'd be out "immediately" for repairs. Had one tech that was a flake that seem to know what he was doing, but the next guy fixed his mistakes a few days later.

We recently had a MONI Security system installed in our home. The process was smooth. Our representative answered all our questions and put any of our worries at ease. We could not have been happier with the install. The service has been spot on so far. We've had a few instances where we forgot we had the system on and set off the alarm. Response was great. We are very pleased.

The delivery was on time, customer service walked me through on testing after I installed the units which was very easy.The Chat service was great, they solved my problem with just texting back and forth, stepped me through the process of resetting the system to allow my information to be correct on my app on my phone. Great customer service.

When I was shopping around for security systems I was drowning in a sea of so many competitors. when I called live watch sales they seemed more interested in finding a solution and making me feel comfortable then selling anything. That was a breath of fresh air in itself. What I didn't expect was my experience getting better. when I called to set up the unit, the operator really did a great job making sure I felt comfortable using the unit. it was hands down the best customer service experience I have maybe ever had. Thanks, LiveWatch for making me feel human.

Responsive and low wait time if you need to call them, HOWEVER, because I have a cat, it triggered the motion sensor. they called me and let me know that the motion sensor was tripped so I had them call my local police dept. When I got home, the police haven't arrived yet (about 10 minutes after the call) so I decided to check the doors and windows and everything looks fine nothing out of place. Since the police haven't yet shown up there was no longer a need for them. I called the monitoring center so they could let the police know that they no longer needed to come out. The monitoring center, who calls the police dept. is UNABLE to call the police back to let them know that everything is Ok and that they don't need to come out here. This is a problem because when the Police come to an alarm and it's a false alarm like this was, they charge us $100 just to come out. I feel like the monitoring center since they can dispatch the police, should be able to call them back and ask them to cancel the call so we don't get charged for a false alarm.

Moni offers great customer service and a great product. I've been with them for several months now I've been contacted by both the installers and Moni themselves to make sure everything is working and if I had any questions or concerns. I would highly recommend this company because I feel like a customer and not just a number on a list.

I’ve been with this company twice. Both of them have been alarm packages under contracts. The three-year contract length is a little extensive and very hard to get out of. The customer service is not up to par with the expectations of such a name recognize company. They are subsidizing work to smaller companies, and not knowing that their brand is being affected by poor customer service experience, that what you would expect from Brinks.

I’ve used Brinks Home security for many years and we have the thermostat system so the security system also allows us to control the thermostat from the app or the control pad on the wall, which is really convenient. We also have the doorbell security camera, exterior cameras and interior cameras, which we can view from our phones as well! I’ve had a good experience with all of our installs and I think the price is reasonable and we’re happy with our terms and conditions

Too expensive per month and after they took over our 5-year contract with another company Brinks has only increased the cost and did not honor the original 5-year contact per month cost. Unless Brinks can give me a reason to stay, I will drop Brinks after our 5-year contact is complete.
