The representatives were very helpful, and were pretty straightforward. They were simple, but helpful. The system is a little outdated, but it does the job, so that's good.

I had a security system with another company that was bought out by Brinks. I had been with them for about 15 years. I called to cancel but they told me I had 4 more years on my contract. I had gotten an emergency pendant that wouldn't cost anything to add I just needed to buy the pendant. I called to cancel my service because I couldn't afford it but they told me I have 4 more years left on my contract. They trapped me into a new contract that I didn't agree to. Beware of bad contacts. I will no longer work with any company that requires a contract! Bad business!!

Brinks is the worse. First off your stuck with a three year contract that you cant get out of. The equipment is dated and doesn't work half of the time. Every time you do anything it extends your contract. My doorbell takes forever to see anything( the person is usually gone before I see anything. My camera's sends me an alert 1/2 hour after someone's detected. Get yourself a Ring alarm system because Brinks sucks.

Company does not stand behind their own company representatives’ errors. Requested in September of 22 for service to be cancelled. The rep on the phone stated she would take care of it and it would take 30 days to be cancelled. It was never done and Brinks continued charging for service at an address that I do not live at. And sending bills to said address and not to me. They refuse to negotiate after their failure to cancel the account or advise that I had to call another number to cancel. Do Not do business with Brinks!!

Worst customer service I've ever experienced. Our account got put into a tenants name (rental property) by mistake and since then I've had no control over the account even though the tenant stopped paying for service and moved out years ago. This is an extremely shortened version of what happened but I spent days on the phone with Brinks trying to get this resolved and the end result is they can't help and I should find a new company to service the house. Unbelievably frustrating experience.

HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE! I recently switched over to Brinks because AT&T digital life is discontinuing service. WHAT A MISTAKE! I have had several problems and fins it nearly impossible to get someone to assist me either on the phone or via text. They tout their "text support" feature, however when you do, you are informed that you will be placed in a que for upwards of 50 minutes or longer and then they do not respond for over 14 HOURS! Do not get screwed over like I did! Go with someone else to monitor your home system.

Installer left without telling us, didn't set up cameras properly, left all of the old equipment throughout the house and yard (front and back). small wires cut and left in grass with us having dogs ( extremely dangerous and no care for a living creatures life???) customer service was horrible on the phone And would continuously talk over us, tell us nothing in life is for free (if your installer did something or in this case didn’t do something - why would the customer be charged for another tech to come out and fix that mistake? We have had them for TWO days.

Transferred my service from AT&T, don't do it...!! Right after the install, 2 weeks ago, the contractor failed to provide power to my hard wired door and window contacts. Began getting failure codes the next day, called customer service, can't get a tech for 2+ weeks. They want to charge me $110 and I purchased their warranty plan. Tried to talk with supervisors, they're in a meeting, got nowhere. Too bad I can't give negative numbers, one star only, stay away from Brinks!

This is the worst security company ever!!! I have spent at least 3 hours just sitting on hold waiting for assistance! I tried getting a reduced rate…not competitive at all. I finally went with Cove. They have a very reasonable rate with NO contract! No spending hours on the phone. I will never recommend this security company to anyone!!! They have no desire to keep the customers they have had for years. They say “your call is important to us yet sit on the phone for over an hour!

Have been put on hold for hours before getting assistance. Technicians state "customer not home" twice for appointments that we took time off work to stay home all day for. Then they can't reschedule them for another MONTH! Half our system doesn't work. They expect you to fix the issues yourself and after 2 hours of trying and system still isn't working you have to pay $200 for someone to come out and look at it but then they don't even show! This is the biggest waste of my time and money.

We had been with the same monitoring service for over 20 years with no issue prior to the Brinks purchase. Our experience has been the worst experience I have ever experienced with any business....non-existent customer service, unauthorized contracts and no ability to cancel. I don't normally write reviews, but I am hopeful that this can help others avoid engaging with Brinks.

I requested cancellation back in June 2021 to be effective when my current contract expired. They are still taking money from my account and when I called, they state that they no longer have contracts and that I will still have to pay. When connected to a person, they hang up on me. I also are on hold for up to 30 minutes every time I call. This company treats their customers as if our requests do not matter. I have filed complaints with the BBB and consumer affairs.

I have been a customer for 5 years. Brinks took over and I didn't have service from October of last year. I asked for a technician to come out. Made a appointment and my wife took off and there was no call, no show. Jumped through hoops to cancel service and then I get another bill even though I haven't had service close to 5 months. No will help at customer service which I stayed on the phone for over a hour. TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE. So sad I had to go to another company for home security. TOTALLY DISAPPOINTED.

Most atrocious customer service ever! They make it absolutely impossible to cancel your account. I did NOT have a contract with them, so cancelling should have been a breeze. It was an absolute nightmare. Hours upon hours of calls, emails and the wait times averaged around 1 hour per call. I had to make 6 calls! Dropped calls, knowledgeable staff, etc. I actually think this is an intentional tactic they are using to keep people signed up with their company. It was so awful! I would NOT recommend this company!

They refuse to take the full amount you owe out of your account when you have signed up for autopay until after you have accrued a late fee. Also the worst customer service during a age when customer service is seeing a rebirth. I requested my contract 3 times and it was only when I started recording my call and tried canceling my service since I wasn't under a contract if they couldn't provide me with one did one finally appear.

Good luck trying to cancel service. Customer service is trained to make it as difficult as possible. They wouldn’t let me cancel unless I completed a 15 minute exit interview where they kept trying to sell me on retaining my account. Politely said “please cancel” and company rep just kept hammering me questions. They required me to submit a Docusign form that I never received via email and they keep on billing me.

This company overcharges and even after I completed my contract they continue to charge me. I called them several times to cancel the service but they lie and say that they sent me a cancelation notice. They do send me an email to stay with them and offer a 14.95 per month charge after they overcharged me 60.00 per month for 3.5 years.

I have been with Brinks/Montronics since 2012. We have always paid on time with auto-pay from our checking account. We had to move unexpectedly due to my Mother-In-Laws health failing. After selling our home, I contacted Brinks to cancel the contract, as we do not own the home any longer. Brinks does care and is only worried about getting the contract cancellation fees for the 28 months left on the newest contract. No consideration for being a long time customer. I will never use Brinks for any of my future alarm monitoring needs.

Unethical customer service. I had a system for 2.5 years and moved to a location where I couldn't have a system installed. They continually tried to upsell and locked me in to a 4 year contract unauthorized because service ended with a move. This is extremely disappointing how they treat a customer. They are sending a final bill of over 2k based on breaking a new contract. I don't even have service any longer. I will never use this service again.

Absolutely horrible. Did not sign up with them because I did not like them based upon research. Went with another company who sold out to Brinks within 2 months. Has been horrible ever since. Can't terminate contracts. I'm moving into parents home until my house is built. Now I'm paying for something I cannot use. Their service online is terrible and most people I've talked to are the same. Just horrible....DO NOT SIGN A CONTRACT WITH THESE PEOPLE

I was so happy with protect America and had a set price I was paying every month that never went up. Now checking my account I notice that brink has been charging me extra every single month since this acquisitions ! This is a breach of the contract I signed! Biggest crooks ever! Can’t get a hole of anyone over the phone. I can’t wait for a class action lawsuit against this dishonest company!

worst service ever, they will sign you a contract without giving any actual service, just to charge you for nothing, you can wait 20-30 minutes on the line and they will just drop your call, I'm a new customer for 20 days, I didn't receive any service, they scheduled technician that didn't come, but what, they do charge me for nothing, and when I said that I want to sign off the contract they charge me for next 12 months...all this without receiving even instruction on how to use the service ... The horrible experience that ever had

I have been a customer with Protect America since 2012. My contract is set to expire next month (10-2020). I called Brinks to inquire about offers they may extend on our behalf. They inform me I’m still under contract until 2022; which is straight BS! I was told my contract was extended in July of this year. I demanded they send me a copy of this so called extension. I got the run around and was transferred several times and told we will send it to you. Then was told we can’t see your info from Protect America. What a bunch of frauds. DO NOT TRUST THIS FRAUDULENT COMPANY!!!

Joined with PA in August 2019. Satisfied with alarm service but very dissatisfied with billing and customer service. Impossible to receive a current statement. Monthly statements not readily available; have to request statements every month. Still waiting for my June statement. Notified in June that Brinks will now monitor all PA accounts. No explanation, forced switch. Disputing June bill. Brinks shows a balance forward for June from PA even though I paid PA on June 12th.
