Brinks Home Security Reviews

I couldn't be happier with the help I recieved with some changes I needed to make with our security system. The directions were easy to follow. This was just what I needed.

The great patients my representative showed in the help I asked for was above and beyond. What a great asset to your company she is!!! I'm proud to be a Brinks customer

Great company, with great customer service. Brandon helped me out over the phone quickly and professionally. The system itself always worked really well for us.

My representative was wonderful, but I found that I signed a 5 year contract and didn't know it, until she let me know. The price in the Email stated the price, which would be less than I was currently paying if I signed up for 5 years. I didn't see the small print which brought it up to much more. A scam. She had nothing to do with that and I feel deceived by Brinks. Again, the woman I talked to was terrific.

A 30 minute phone call with Brinks customer service. She stayed on the line with me and was very patient until we got the problem resolved. Great job!

I had been with Brinks for 9 years or more. The whole time I was there I was having problems. They were always so smart when you called in to have them troubleshoot your equipment. They acted as if they hated their jobs. I also didn't like the idea of the technicians came out and installed my cameras on the roof. I felt like it was done purposely so they could have to come out and then charge a 75 dollar fee. My last deal breaker was when my back left camera was out and I called to have them troubleshoot it. They told me that they couldn't troubleshoot it because they needed to get deeper into it. So they asked me to climb up on the roof and that was after I told them I had just had back surgery. They said well unfortunately we will have to send someone out. So I went outside to see how far up they had put the camera up there. How about I noticed that they didn't even run the wires inside the house so nobody could just come and unplug them. They had the cameras plugged up right on my deck. So somebody could have just came and unplugged them and did anything to me. I guess they didn't care because that was the second time they had to install because the first time they just ran the wires through my grass in the backyard. Now everyone knows that any animal can get back there well that's what happened and the wires were chewed on. So I'm calling for over a week to try to cancel my service and get a copy of my contract . They kept sending my stuff that was expired. Then one representative said I know you feel like we're not trying to give you what you need but I promise that's not the problem. If it wasn't the problem why would you even bring that up then she tells me that they generate their notes but the computer goes in and put their own notes in. I said well if that's the case why do they need you if the computer is going to have to put the notes anyway because the previous agent put i said I would think about the offer when I told her that I already had new cameras installed and they're cameras was taken down so with that being said why would I say that and I know I didn't so she's lying because I wouldn't have taken any offer she had given me especially when she's saying that I would have to extend my contract so no and this is one of the reasons I left because of stuff like this.

I had a very pleasant customer service representative. Tamika was informative, positive, and professional. I appreciated her assistance and friendly demeanor.

I placed a service call this morning and the lady that I spoke with was very patient and walked me through getting our cameras restarted. She was very helpful!!

First, the young man who assisted me is absolutely 5 star! He was calm, kowledgable, polite and got my problem solved. That said, the company is an absolute rip off ... I called to cancel my service several years ago. The lady who was "helping" me convinced me to change my service and lower my price. She said nothing about a 5 year contract, and I never signed any such contract. When I repeqted my desire to cancel 3 years ago, the company insisted on me paying the full term of my "Contract"... Not having the resource or patience to sue, I simply threw away $500 a year ... until today, the young man helped me cancel. I still had to pay the balance of the 5 years, but he did get me a 20% discount.

I had to cancel in 2021 after many attempts to contact the company to fix my system It was not working for few month and tried to schedule someone to come in with no success after that I asked to cancel the service after few month of my request finally I was able to cancel Now 2 years later I received a text from collection agancy claiming I own them money I do not owe anything they are trying now to send me to collection agency Stay away from this company Service is no good and customer service is horrible and they will scam you for more money and make it very difficult to discontinue the service

I recently had the displeasure of dealing with Brinks Home Security, and I must say that my experience has left me feeling frustrated and dissatisfied. While I understand that issues can arise with any security system, the way Brinks handles customer service and their cancellation policy has left me with a negative impression. First and foremost, I was shocked to learn that Brinks charges a steep $75 fee for a technician to come out and fix any camera issues. In today's competitive market, many companies offer complimentary or significantly reduced fees for troubleshooting or repairs. This approach seems outdated and unfair to customers who already invested in their security system. Furthermore, the assistance I received over the phone was far from helpful. The representatives I spoke with seemed poorly trained and unable to adequately address or resolve my concerns. Rather than providing me with useful troubleshooting steps or potential solutions, I was left feeling like I was being passed around without any real assistance. The final straw for me was when I decided to cancel my service with Brinks. To my astonishment, I discovered that they have an exorbitant cancellation policy that requires customers to pay the entire monthly fee for the remaining months of their contract, which in my case would be a staggering 20 months! This policy is not only unreasonable but also makes it incredibly difficult and expensive for customers to switch to a better security provider, should they choose to do so. Overall, my experience with Brinks Home Security has been disappointing. The exorbitant fee for technician visits, unhelpful phone support, and punitive cancellation policy have left me questioning the value of their service. I would strongly advise considering alternative security providers that offer better customer support and more reasonable policies.

Constantly reschedule appointments; so far, this is my 5th time without explanation. They promised the installation of cameras and the installation free of charge. They made mistakes and every agent stated that they fixed the issue themselves. When you call again there are no records of your previous conversation with them. They ask for proof of verbal agreements (such as the free cameras and installation). They delete appointments and claimed that it was canceled because you did not reply to reschedule (an appointment showed as actively scheduled. You try to cancel your account, but you are stuck with a contract. If you decide to use this company ask them to give you EVERYTHING in WRITING, including verbal conversations. Don't trust them.

I have been a loyal AT&T Digital Life subscriber for a decade, but unfortunately, my journey took an unexpected turn when AT&T referred me to Brinks. Initially, the transition seemed seamless as their package appeared comparable to what I had before. However, my experience with Brinks started to sour when I encountered issues with their equipment. I reached out to their customer support, and to my dismay, they suggested that I climb a ladder to reset the hardware. At 60 years old and facing balance issues, I found this request to be both unreasonable and potentially risky. Nevertheless, I reluctantly agreed to pay $75 for a technician to come out and assess my system. Fortunately, they did offer me a discount on this charge. Upon inspection, it became evident that the hardware itself was the source of my ongoing problems. I was frustrated when they initially insisted on billing me for new cameras, but after some negotiation, they eventually covered the cost and provided me with a reduced rate. At this point, I expected that my bills would reflect these changes. However, upon reviewing my recent bills, I discovered that the rates had not decreased as promised. To add insult to injury, I was now being charged $7.99 for a paper statement, which was yet another issue I had to contend with. To make matters worse, I desperately wanted to cancel my service, but I was informed that I was locked into a contract for another 18 months. In conclusion, based on my frustrating experience with Brinks, I would strongly advise against doing business with them. Their customer service left much to be desired, and the unexpected fees and unresolved issues have left me deeply dissatisfied with their services. a surprising turn of events, after posting my review detailing the frustrations I had experienced with Brinks, I received a call from the company. The representative informed me that my contract term, initially set at 18 months, had been increased to a staggering 36 months. According to the associate, this disclosure was part of the legal script they are required to read over the phone. This revelation left me feeling even more frustrated and disappointed. It's important to note that if there is a change in the contract term, it should be clearly communicated to the customer during the initial conversation with the customer service representative. Unfortunately, in my case, this crucial information was not disclosed upfront, and I was taken aback by this unexpected extension of my commitment to their services. This additional layer of dissatisfaction only reinforces my cautionary advice against engaging in business with Brinks.

I purchased a $1400 home security system from Brinks. They never showed up for the appt bc there was an “error in their system”. I requested to cancel their services and full refund, and to send me return label for equipment delivered. They have yet to provide me with a return label and haven’t provided me with any confirmation bc they said they don’t do any confirmation but that the notes are left on the account; they can’t email me anything. I traveled almost 4 hours to make to the appointment (I have an email when they confirmed the appt.) They said I should receive an email within 2 hours from UPS with a return label on Friday 7/14. I called back in 4 hours and they said it would be 24-48 hours. I confirmed I should then be receiving the label at the latest Sunday. I never received it. I called them Monday, today 7/17; they said I should receive it by 2pm bc its actually 24-48 business hours (not what I was told). I still have not received a label but they said they’d resend it but would take another 24-48 hours.
