Top Ranked Companies
The Good
- Free Same-Day Installation on New Packages
- Compatible with Existing Security Equipment
- Robust Security Packages
- First Month Free
Free Same-Day Installation on New Packages
For all new packages, StarBrite offers free professional installation. The company also guarantees same-day installation, so you don’t have to wait to protect your home.
Compatible with Existing Security Equipment
If you have existing home security equipment that you didn’t purchase from StarBrite, the company will still activate that equipment and sync it with Brinks’s monitoring services. Many home security companies don’t allow you to use equipment from other security providers, so it’s convenient StarBrite offers flexibility. You can also use StarBrite equipment to add to your current security system to ensure you have the best solution possible.
Robust Security Packages
StarBrite has extensive home security packages, with four main plans to choose from:
Basic Access
This is StarBrite’s most basic security package that includes 24/7 professional monitoring, remote control of your security system, glass break detection, and image capturing. The equipment included is its seven-inch touchscreen alarm panel, three door sensors, and a pet-friendly motion sensor.
Basic Access and Video Doorbell
When you upgrade to this package, you receive everything in the Basic Access package, as well as a two-way voice doorbell camera and geofencing automation rules.
Smart Home Complete
The Smart Home Complete package includes full HD night vision cameras, live video monitoring on your smartphone, triggered motion alerts, doorbell camera communication, wide range coverage, and 1080p images. The equipment included in this package is the same as the Basic Access and Video Doorbell package, but it also adds in a 5MP indoor or outdoor camera.
Smart Home Ultimate
This package is the same as the Smart Home Complete package, but it adds a smart door lock or thermostat to your current equipment. You can choose which one you would prefer.
First Month Free
StarBrite is currently advertising that if you sign up now, you will receive free equipment and free installation. However, this is based on a three-year contract
The Bad
- No Pricing Information Online
- Only Available in California
No Pricing Information Online
Although StarBrite lists its security packages online with details regarding equipment, there are no pricing details. You need to contact the company directly to find out specific pricing information.
Only Available in California
StarBrite is only available in Southern California. If you are outside of that service area, you’ll need to look into other home security solutions.
The Bottom Line
StarBrite is a reputable home security company with professional monitoring provided by Brinks Home Security. The company offers competitive security packages with pricing advantages, such as a free month of service and free equipment. However, these deals are based on a required three-year contract. StarBrite also does not list pricing information on its website, so it’s difficult to compare the company’s offerings to other home security providers.
