    Brinks are just scammers. They were charging me $36/month. I asked them a new Quolsys Panel 4. They said that it cost $600, but they will offer it to me at a discounted price of $400 but I have to pay a $200 technician fee. I said i don't need any technician, I can set it up by myself. They said it not possible. So I bought me the Quolsys Panel 4 on eBay brand new for $200, and I told them that I want to cancel the service. They called me some days later with a 2 years contract and $26/month. I said no. They called me again some days later with $19.99 and 2 years contract. I said no again. Some days later they called me with $19.99 and no contract. I said YES. Two days later, they billed me $25!!! I called them and cancel for good. Thay are just a bundle of scammers!!!

    Horrible experience - will never use this company or recommend this company to anyone. My parents passed away in August 2025. Both of them, the same week. In the beginning of October, as I was sifting through the many things I had to do to take care of my parents' affairs, I called Brinks. The gentleman on the phone said I could not pay their bill, but I could "take over their account" and get it "switched into my name" - which was great because we still had to figure out how to sell the house. He walked me through all the things, had me sign some stuff and I was on to the next task. Fast forward to December, when the house went on the market, and I called to cancel the service because the realtor said it was a good idea.

    The lady on the phone said that what I had actually done was create a new contract of my own, and that I was locked into a 4-year contract. I told her specifically that no one had mentioned anything about a new contract and that it was wrong of them to do that. Not one person mentioned a new 4-year contract. In order to cancel this new contract, I had to pay $1500. My other option was "to give it to a family member". My family just died. But thanks. After multiple calls and seeing if there was any other option, I was told that I knowingly signed the contract and that I was responsible for the bill. So I paid it. There, you got your money. Thank you for being a good lesson, and thank you for being an awful, shady company. I would give 0 stars if I could.

    Portia answered the call with professionalism and was cordial, polite and respectful. She recapped the issue as well as instructions on monitoring signal strength and discussing with my internet provider if lag continues. She assured me that if it proved to be a camera issue I had the protection plan which would cover my equipment. She queried if I was aware of low battery on door lock and if I had someone to replace battery or if I knew how to do so.

    I did not realize when I signed up that there was a 5 year contract attached. The installer had a difficult time getting the camera set up. He hooked it into one of my Kitchen outlets and the Brinks system never seemed to work quite right. Also that kitchen outlet never worked the same, only one of the plugs worked after the installation. I am having some financial difficulties and called to cancel the service only to find out that I would have to buy out my contract for $1,139.59 or continue with a service that I am not using for 19 more months. I would rather be robbed by strangers than a business that I had put my trust into. The only proof of purchase that I have is my auto payments.
