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.

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.

I have had great customer service during the process of purchasing and having my home alarm system installed. Everyone involved was friendly, informative and competent. People came when promised and even cleaned up after themselves.

Very happy with my alarm system. Anytime I called customer service they were always pleasant and able to assist me. I did have a couple of false alarms because I forgot to disarm and their response time was almost immediately. Highly Recommend.

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.

Excellent process, they were there when they said they would be. Installed the system, expertly installed, knowledgeable installer, walked us though how to use the system and how to get the best from its processing system. Could not be happier with Moni.

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.
