How does Brinks Home Security work?

Brinks Home security systems

Brinks Home’s security systems are fully customized to your home’s needs. Every system includes a touchscreen control panel, and you can choose from a variety of security cameras, smart home devices, life safety devices and sensors to build your system. All security systems include free professional installation, provided you commit to a three-year monitoring contract at $49.99 per month, spend at least $500 on equipment and sign up for the Brinks Home Plus plan.

To get a quote or learn more about its systems, you must contact the company for a personalized consultation. The company’s representatives will discuss your security needs with you and answer any questions you have about its products or the installation process.

Its monitoring services are provided by U.S.-based, Five Diamond-certified alarm response centers. All of its systems use both cellular and Wi-Fi connectivity for monitoring, and most include a backup battery to ensure functionality in the event of a power outage.

When an alarm event occurs, Brinks Home will call primary contacts (as listed in your account). If the primary contacts can’t be reached, the alarm response center will dispatch responding authorities and call secondary contacts.

  • Free installation

All of the above promotions can’t be combined with any other offers or discounts and are only available for new residential customers who sign a three-year monitoring contract.

Brinks Home also has a referral program. To use this program, you can refer a friend to the company, and you’ll both get a $300 electronic gift card if they sign up.

Brinks Home Plus

Brinks Home Plus is a maintenance plan you can purchase for a monthly fee. This fee varies based on the value of your security equipment, though Brinks Home doesn’t disclose detailed pricing online. The plan provides repairs, replacement or credit for devices that stop working due to malfunction or normal wear and tear. It also comes with a reduced service fee. Some devices it covers include alarm panels, security cameras and motion detectors.

Exclusions

Brinks Home Plus plans exclude coverage for damage or issues related to:

  • Any products or devices that aren’t purchased from a Brinks Home authorized dealer

  • Work or repairs completed by a non-Brinks Home representative
  • Any products or devices that are over 5 years old or that Brinks Home has determined are obsolete

Brinks Home also doesn’t cover costs for emergency service visits outside of its normal business hours.

FAQ

Can I install a Brinks Home Security system myself?

Brinks Home Security does not offer a DIY installation option. All systems require professional installation, which is included at no additional cost with a three-year contract.

What home automation features come with Brinks Home?

Brinks Home systems support smart lights, locks, and thermostats. Systems are compatible with Amazon Alexa and Apple Siri for voice control.

How long is the Brinks Home security contract?

Brinks Home requires a three-year contract for professional monitoring services. If you cancel early, you’ll need to pay all remaining monthly fees in full.

How much does Brinks Home monitoring cost per month?

Brinks Home monitoring costs start at $29.99 per month. This price requires a minimum $500 equipment purchase and a three-year monitoring agreement.

Still have questions?

Is Brinks Home Security worth it?

Brinks Home Security is worth considering for homeowners who want professional monitoring, free installation, and a customizable system. Brinks offers a wide range of equipment, and it’s easy to update your system if you move to another home.

However, there are some important trade-offs to weigh. If you want to cancel early, you’ll need to pay all of your remaining monthly fees in full, and the company’s signature perks (like free installation) come with significant requirements, such as a three-year contract, a minimum equipment purchase and enrollment in the Brinks Home Plus plan.

Brinks has some negative reviews on our site, with complaints generally related to long wait times for customer service and difficulty canceling contracts. However, reviews are predominantly positive, with the company earning an average star rating of 4.3 out of 5 as of publication.

    I spoke with Porcha (spelling?). She did a superior job of addressing my concern. An Alarm.co representative had come unannounced to my door and said he was here to check my system as it was old and due for upgrade. Porcha advised me that Alarm.Co did do work for Brinks but she checked my file and said although my system was old, she did not see any indication of any malfunctions or any calls from me for assistance. She did tell me about upgrade options and price freeze on my subscription. She was informative but did not try to high pressure me into anything, just advised me of bonuses, etc and told me to call back anytime I wanted more information, wanted to upgrade, etc. She also answered my non related questions about the need for a landline and told me if I decided to terminate the landline to be sure to advise Brinks. Porcha was friendly, helpful, and informative. Thank you.

      The customer experience representative, whose name is "Zina," was probably the very best I have ever had the opportunity to deal with in any situation. She was knowledgeable and through. She listened and went into action, assuring me that she was there to research my problem and solve it. She went the extra mile to make sure I was satisfied with the outcome. Zina was polite and very personable and understood my problem as she worked to solve it. Most phone reps seem to have a memorized procedure that they will not deviate from and that's as far as they go. I felt like I was talking with a real person, not a programed robot. Cudos to Brinks for having a person like Zina on your staff. After my contract expires with my present company, I will reach back and connect with Brinks because of this experience. Thankyou!

      I have been with the company for over 20 years and I have always received very good customer service. Recently, I had an experience where a situation was not handled to my satisfaction and I had to follow up the next day for additional assistance. Robin was wonderful to work with. She picked up on my frustration immediately and actually took time to read over ALL the notes that had been documented from the previous event as well as really listened to my issues and concerns. It was her exceptional customer service skills that allowed me to get the proper assistance for my issue in an expedited manner from the initial service date that had been scheduled.

      The equipment and app are fine. Had a botched installation, took 8 full hours because the guy had to keep calling other people to try to figure out how to actually do it. Some equipment just wasnt delivered, or installed. The ones that were, several just looked awful. The “representative” and manager that sent the welcome emails just won’t respond. Had to reschedule a new installer, figure out what was missing and reorder it myself. The new tech was much better and made it not so bad and explained things better, but a pretty disappointing experience overall.

      The customer service rep was excellent, but the service options are not. And because their equipment doesn’t work as it should, I have to pay $75.

      This experience on 10/23/26 was the BEST that we have had since we have had our Brinks Home system. She was so nice and helpful. She listened to our concerns and allowed us to vent and then solved our issues. We had not had any real service since Covid and the system didn't work and I had to keep an eye on the property for my parents. My father wanted to cancel the system, but she talked us out of it and gave us a better system to replace the old one that no longer worked.
