Our editor’s take on Brinks Home

Our take on Brinks Home is that it can be a good option if you want fully customizable home security systems, professional monitoring services and free professional installation. It offers a wide range of equipment, and it’s easy to update your system if you move to another home.

However, the company generally requires a three-year contract to get free installation, and if you want to cancel early, you’ll need to pay all of your remaining monthly fees in full. Also, Brinks Home has some negative reviews on our site, with complaints generally related to long wait times for customer service and difficulty canceling contracts.

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.

    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. I will continue to use the company and have nothing but praise for how my situation was handled by all.

      My frustration over an ongoing situation had reached a high. After 3 calls (all reassuring me the problem was handled) I called again. My representative was very nice, professional and attempted to solve the issue. She too was frustrated because everything previous completed SHOULD have fixed the problem.

      Exceptional! Jodie was so nice. She told me about the penalty I would incur if I cancelled and gave me a better rate than before. She was very kind and helpful. Unfortunately, the people who reinstall my system can't come for over 2 weeks which leaves me vulnerable for a prolonged time both from intruders and from emergencies if I fall again. I'm very concerned about that. I would be grateful if someone could reinstall my old system as soon as today. I'm elderly and need the security as soon as possible. Thank you for any help you could give.

      I spoke with the manager Hector who helped resolved my problem. Turns out the first representative accidentally mistyped my email address and that’s why I never received the specific paperwork I had requested. During the second follow up, that agent change my incorrect address but unfortunately made another blunder. Nevertheless, the manager corrected matters and now the needed documents are on their way. So if you’re waiting patiently and nothing has arrived, call and make sure there wasn’t an accidental typing error. The manager was attentive, professional, personal, and apologetic. We all make unintentional mistakes. Brinks is great.

      Our main panel just died a few days ago. We called Brinks and after a video call, it was recommended that we order a new battery for it. After receipt of the battery, we installed it but it still wasn’t working. Since it was on the weekend, we waited and called on Monday. After discussions and no good outcome with the panel working, it was suggested that we get a new, more up-to-date panel. Oscar was great in providing guidance and options. New panel (only pay shipping cost) should arrive on Thursday and was told we’d have a tech guide us in installing via video call. Hopefully the new panel will be the solution.

The voicemail left said there was a birthday alarm at my address....obviously an AI generated VM.....the low sensor has been corrected with a new battery.

      I had a low battery on my system, which was loudly going off. I found out it was due to the motion detector, and there was no tech support available on Sunday, October 4th 2026. The link sent to me was incorrect for my particular device. If I had needed a true emergency, I feel like I wouldn't have been taken care of. I also found out that the speaker box on the system is not available as well. The backing also on the motion device is extremely difficult to remove, even following the instructions I was given to press the top tabs.

      The person assisting me was able to stop the alarming, and she stated that I would need a new system because it is showing the motion detector is broken, and I had to order a new one for a $10 shipping fee. I kept at trying to get the backing off and finally did and it required 2 AA batteries, not 3 as I was told initially before speaking with the second personnel. I was able to put batteries in and get it working and cancelled the order for a new one. Tech support should be available 24-7 when problems arise like this, and not just have regular personnel who can't assist as needed. I was told to call back the next day when I had an immediate problem that I needed assistance for right then.

      The customer service representative was very courteous. However, I called to confirm the installation because I am getting messages with different times for the installation. I literally received four or five different messages with conflicting times. I called to confirm and they still gave me a different time as compared to the technician. Very upsetting considering the system isn’t even installed yet. I hope this is not indicative of how this is going to go.

      I’ve called Brinks Home three times to cancel my alarm service, but my account is still active and the bills keep coming. I stopped the automatic payments in April and explained that the equipment is unplugged and I’m not receiving service. On today’s call, the representative said she could not find a cancellation request on my account and that I would need to call a different department tomorrow. She also said cancellation requires a signed form, takes 30 days to process, and could be refused if there’s an unpaid balance. I was given conflicting balance amounts during the same call. I’m frustrated that my earlier calls appear not to have resulted in a recorded cancellation request. I’d like Brinks to review those calls, resolve the charges, and give me written confirmation of cancelation of service.

      A couple of years ago I signed with Brinks for a hardwired camera with monitoring. After that, another company came in and offered multiple high level cameras and discounted monitoring. They assured me they will pay off my original Brinks loan and close the account. I now have no Brinks equipment at my house and no monitoring with them. Unfortunately Brinks wants not just the loan paid off, but also the monitoring for the remainder of the contract even though I am not getting monitoring from them!!! It has been a nightmare dealing with them!

      Our Garage Door sensor was showing our Garage door was Open when it was Closed. The alarm would bypass it when the Alarm was set. I spoke with Rolando and he walked me through a couple tests and come to find out the sensor was upside down. It had fallen off a few weeks back and we used some new double sided tape and re-attached it unknowingly we installed with the arrow on it pointing down instead of up. I felt pretty silly since it was our error but Rolando was very helpful in figuring this out. He was Very Nice to speak with.
