They are scam company!! A guy name Sam from their company went to our house says that they are affiliated with ADT and that they're upgrading our system to Brinks. Their system is the worst. Everything is not working right and they charging us with a lot of fees that the guy Sam didn't tell us. If i could put zero stars i would read more

Paid over $600 in equipment and had them install on every window/door in my 5009sf home. I have brinks in both my homes. They installed the sensor on my door crooked and it fell off and broke as soon as I opened the door. They said it's $255 to fix what THEY INSTALLED WRONG. finding anew company after the holidays are over. Complete waste of time and money. read more

Terrible company. First all. After countless emails and calls my security system hasn't worked In over 1 1/2 years. System isn't even online. Nor the doorbell camera doesn't work. Hell The doorbell doesn't even work since they changed it out. They have called me 10 times today because I had one late payment I'm February and threatened it would go to collections.. after I canceled my contract (I'll pay the damn fee) and paid the "late" fee. They continued to call 4 times after payment and after canceling. Never ever choose this company. read more

You incompetent jerks of a company - my app keep screwing up & always shows offline - my dog is home & we can't arm our alarm - I will sue you so hard if we get broken into & especially if my dog is harmed read more

This service is HORRIBLE. I was coerced to switch when AT&T left home security and I shoudve went with my gut and NOT signed up. The hardware (cameras and keypad) are GARBAGE. The Doorbell cam NEVER worked and took 6 months to get a replacement after stalking Brinks' social media for a resolution. Still does not work properly. I am cancelling today and if they dodge or duck me like other cancelling customers, I will cancel my Amex and have a new card issued. What an expensive A nightmare! Avoid Brinks home security at ALL costs. read more

He whoever owns this company car need to tell their employees to park across from the home they're working on. I cannot park in my driveway. read more

This review is about one sales employee, Tony Hamacher. Beware of this person. We are new to the area and he showed up at our door 3 days after we moved in. We were interested in a security system so we let him in. He went through his sales pitch, we liked the system but were hesitant about the cost. He said something like ,let us put it in at no cost. If you do not like it within 90 days, I will come take it out and it will cost you nothing. He indicated if we did keep it, there would be a two year contract. Well, Brinks called. We found out there is no 2 year contract, it was three years and the trial period was only 3 days, not 90 days. After some heavy complaining by my wife to Brinks, they agreed to take out the system. Brinks, thank you. Tony, I cannot say what I want here. read more

Absolutely the worst alarm service I 'be ever experienced. Customer service is horrible. We tried cancelling the service back in June. However, they kept charging us up until October. The company makes it impossible to cancel the service: 1. You have to call and request the cancellation. 2. Another department is supposed to send you an email with a letter you need to sign. 3. If they get your email wrong (because they do not use the one on file or bother to check what you have on file), you won't get the letter. 4. Time keeps passing and if you do not receive the email, you need to call back. It is IMPOSSIBLE to cancel. Do not get this company's services. It is NOT a reliable business. read more

FRAUDULENT COMPANYThis has been the worst absolute worst company I have ever dealt with. It's extremely frustrating not to be able to get a hold of anyone. I have had this alarm system since I've had my house, for almost 6 years. I've been needing to cancel it since I need help with my payments since I cannot afford it anymore. THEY ARE FRAUDULENT. Very inconsistent. Not professional at all!!! Total scammers! If you are thinking of getting an alarm company please please DO NOT EVER THINK OF GETTING THIS ALARM SYSTEM! ADT would be way better Than this trash company ! I've tried multiple times to call and repeatedly get hung up on! I've tried to email which also go Unresponded. Wish I could give less stars because they are truely awful ! DO NOT EVER GET THIS COMPANY !!! read more

Horrible Customer service , you have to wait hours to talk with someone and then you have to wait again because the person who answered can't help you with your problem. they are so unprofessional , I called to cancel and literally they make me wait 3 hours and I still dealing with the same issue and the answer is nothing to do with my problem I ask to talk with a manager and the person that I was talking with said :is nothing I can do . read more

Description of complaint: I canceled my service in January of 2023 and didn't notice that they continued charging me until June. I contacted billing and they apologized. They acknowledged that the account had been notated as canceled. They said that I had never signed the cancellation documents. I wasn't aware that there were documents. When passed to the head manager, Jennifer, she said that it was my fault, and she would not issue a refund because I didn't sign the cancellation documents that were emailed to me. I asked her when were these documents sent and could she forward it. She said it would take 48 hours to process, 24 hours if they expide it. If it was already sent why would it take so long to send. Where is the proof that it was sent. I never received this email. I called back and asked another agent about said email, and he said they sent it to the wrong email, even though they have my correct email. They made the mistake, and they won't resolve the issue. I still have been unable to cancel and am currently waiting on the email. read more

I canceled service with Brinks in December of 2022. I just realized today they are charging me monthly. I called and they informed me when I canceled I was supposed to get an email to fill out to cancel, I had 48 hours to advise them I didn't get the email. In light of this I am responsible for the payments for the last 7 months. This is the biggest scam right in your face I've ever seen. They did not send the cancelation email. They count on you not remembering you need an email that may not come for days. I would never do business with a company like this. When I said well you clearly see I cancels in December of 22 , she said that's not how it works you should have called to tell us you didn't get the email. Its very clear to see how Brinks handles their clients when they wish to cancel. Everyone watch out for the email on cancelation. They look forward to you not calling!!! read more

We signed up with an alarm company (protection One) when we bought the house. 5 year contract at $39.99/mo Cool. Well Brinks bought out Protection One (we initially were not aware) about a year later. That's when the problems started. Raised our monthly rate (remember we had a 5 year contract) false alarms (when the system was disarmed) charged us for false alarms, equipment upgrades costing us 100's of $$, doorbell cam not working, then we noticed we were paying $55/mo. When I called about this they first said--"oops" we made a mistake. Then supervisor says it's the cost of operating, blah, blah. I said "we have a contract for $39.99/mo?" Their response was they could raise rates as per the contract. Huh? Oh, BTW we never signed a contract with Brinks. . Finally had enough and moved to ADT last month. They pulled out all the brinks equipment. 2 months in and works great. Last night we get a call from Brinks saying they are showing an alarm? Even sent "security guard" to check it out. LOL I told the dude we don't have Brinks and the brinks equipment has been removed. WTF? How are you getting an alarm?? Yes, Brinks Sucks! That is all...... Worse than "0" stars read more

Worst company I have ever used. They have zero technicians and took THREE months to send someone out when my system broke

The absolute WORST in SECURITY! I had Monotronics and somehow the contract 5 year contract $81/mo got sold to these clowns. They wouldn't let me out of the contract. People come out take picture and leave and I get charged $80. They didn't check and see if everything was ok, nothing coke up to door, snap picture and leave! I said ok, I'll ride out my 5 year contract but please cancel when it's done since I'll be out of the country and have waited for more than 2 hours attempting to speak with an associate. They said I have to call a certain day or the contract would renew? For one I didn't sign a contract with these criminals/crooks. They are completely in the wrong. A total scam, feel 100% taken advantage of and would not recommend to my worst enemy. THE 100% WORST IN SECURITY!! read more

i would not recommend this service company , i had a false alarm ask them not to come and they still sent someone out , 2hours later , and charged me. I also noticed several times when you have a balance due they will randomly set off the panel in your house ; when you go to the panel nothings wrong , no low batteries etc , this is a form of harrassment, also the system is not there for there personal use . read more

This security system is crap. You walk right up to the camera and press a button to take it offline. The so-called security alert feature is worthless. Please don't expect it to notify you in a timely manner. It will take 2-3 minutes to get that alert. If it breaks, you have to pay for the service call on top of the highly misleading monitoring and maintenance bill. The "system " appears to be several unrelated off-the-shelf devices cobbled together with a very poorly written cloud and phone app integration. It's homebrew with a Fiverr UI. Stick with ADT, Vivint, or anything except these charlatans. read more

WORST security company. I've given them so many chances over the years, they just down right SUCk!!! No customer service, supervisors who are afraid to handle a phone call, so you have to wait on hold till a supervisor advises the employee what to say or not to say. I've had both my restaurants and houses with this crap company for over 10 years but it all changed today. I made an appointment for additional equipment a month ago. Today they emailed (no call, conversation...) to notify me that my appointment in 2 days was cancelled and rescheduled till 10/18. NOT ACCEPTABLE! They ordered the wrong equipment and now I'm to wait 2 months total for an appointment. So I'm to feel "safe and secured" with a company so mismanaged as this one?!?!? My advice to anyone looking for a good reputable security company, do your home work but leave Brinks out of your choices. They didn't even try to keep me, just sent me to the cancellation department. I'm more mad at myself for dealing with all their bullshit over the years and not jumping off this train wreck a long time ago. read more

Do not trust any of the "3rd party techs" they will tell you that Brinks Alarm Co will overcharge you for a camera and that he/they have a camera in the company van for $100 bucks cheaper. You give the tech whom you believe is a legit Brink's employee (not a 3rd party) to only get your bill and have the charge for camera after giving the tech cash. When you try to call and dispute undoubtley the tech denies it and unfortunately you're out of your money. Brinks does not care about their customers. read more

Cannot get a hold of anyone when you need them! I have been trying to cancel my account since before Thanksgiving! They make it impossible to get a hold of the people in charge of canceling. I'm very disappointed in their customer service! read more

horrible customer service and the front doorbell and camera continually goes out. No help on phone. They won't send a tech out! I'm locked into four year contract without our knowing. DONT USE THIS COMPANY. read more

Have a window unit that I am unable to fix with a new unit sent to me. Brinks refuses to send a technician to install and/or fix the current unit. I have been a customer for several years. I will be terminating the service and look for a company. Very, very bad customer service. read more

Horrible company and terrible customer service! I was a customer with Monitronics and Brinks bought them out so I was automatically switched. My system went out August 28th and set up an appointment for Sept. 6th. no one called or came to my home for the appointment. This not being the first time dealing with poor customer service I cancelled my account on the 6th. They sent papers to sign and they were returned to them on the 8th, the same day I received them. I was then charged for the month of Sept, I called to have it refunded and Nila with CS said it will be reversed. It wasn't. Then in Oct. they billed me again for a third of the month. I spoke with Ikea and Kevin and they could not do anything about it. I will be filing with the BBB now that I'm seeing multiple people are being charged well beyond their terminated date. read more

Don't get a contract from brinks, their customer service representatives are horrible, the system itself falls apart after a couple of months and they will charge you to get their systems fixed. read more

If I could give zero stars, I would. I need a copy of my contract to finalize the sale of my home and I have been waiting 2 weeks. The new owners want to transfer ownership and all we need is a copy of the contract. The customer service reps are rude and unhelpful. Every rep has given me a different answer. read more

I was with Brinks for 5 years never had an issue with anything. Finally, we encountered a problem they sent a technician out, but not before coaxing me into signing a contract extension. I figured everything has been smooth for 5 years and we are very low maintenance people so why not? I was out of town when the technician arrived to service the system. The technician was rude, condescending, sloppy, and dismissive toward my wife in our home. In addition, he did not complete the work he was there for which was to update my equipment. He left 3 batteries on the table and told my wife to figure it out. The same error messages we had before he came are still there now. When I called to follow up the folly of errors continued through their customer service team who wanted to charge me for another visit. Everything is good when its good, (5 years auto payments no service calls) But the moment I needed them, the one time I did in 5 years they made a mockery of customer service and process execution. Needless to say, I do not recommend Brinks to anyone under any circumstances. Chris L read more

I would give a zero star rating if possible. I'm currently on hold with their "Customer Service," and have been on hold for 1 hour and 40 minutes so far, having spoken with one person (David) after 1 hour 10 minutes on hold, who was not able to help me, and put me back on hold to wait for someone else. I really think this entire company is a scam, not only the Las Vegas market. Please beware! Non-working equipment, impossible to access customer service, no-show "service technicians." And, there is no mechanism for cancelling your service. They say there is, but again, I've now been on hold for 1 hour and 42 minutes... read more

4 weeks ago I had to replace my router. I couldn't get me cameras to work. I then brought in a person much more IT smarter than I. He was able to get one camera working after a hour. After much back and forth I made a service call appointment 3 weeks out. I waited for the service call on 8/9, but the service man was a no call no show. I had to call to find out that the service man was injured on the job and I wouldn't be getting service. Not only no service, but the earliest they could reschedule was another 3 weeks. 6 weeks with 5 out six cameras not working. read more

HORRIBLE!!! I called about a tech issue. They told me it wasn't covered by my service. So they sold me an extended life warranty . Year or so later , another tech issue. Told this wasn't covered by the extended warranty!! I asked what was.... basically NOTHING!!! Horrible operators on customer service line, supervisors even worse! Can't wait for my contract to end. read more

Brinks home security is a horrible company, they are unethical, unprofessional, and they will do anything to you in order to gain profit. I have utilize their service for over 14 years, there are always issues, their customer service is inept, no one calls you back. No one addresses your issues, and they just keep stacking up the billing. whatever you do, do not sign up for automatic payments, when you sign up, it's easy, when you attempt to cancel, Binks makes it virtually impossible, they are intentionally misleading and they drag it out as long as they can!! Be aware!!! Update; upon review of the ownership of Brinks, I find that they have filed for bankruptcy, run don't walk! read more

Well I gotta say brinks as a whole is the worst at customer satisfaction. So this is how the story goes with my experience. I was looking for another security service because brink raised my rate because I learned they bought out montronics another security company I was with. I had panel problems call the brinks company they couldn't do anything about it. Then Vivint came threw and sold me on a great system paid my balance off of 1200 dollars affordable I don't think so. So when I thought my canceling was over and done with they email you saying why do you want to leave or telling me I owe 75.44. So I called the customer service trying to resolve it. Asked for a manager and expressed how I'm not happy. So they told me they will stop emailing me. Cause I'm kinda tired of calling them. Hopefully I don't have to call the main number for the company again. And I'm very happy with the security company I'm with now which is Vivint read more

Not even worth one star.. counting down the days until this contract is over. The worst security service ever. I feel like I'm being robbed every month when the payment comes out of my checking account. Save yourself the hassle and go with a reputable company. read more

Sales people were entirely dishonest from the start. The security system and technology is solid, however the sales and business practices of Brinks, specifically for allowing companies like CRS, Lic. 56107 to do business on their behalf. Very dissatisfied with my experience as a whole due to their lying and slimy sales tactics. read more

ZERO STARS!!!!! First, beware of salesmen. They are great at selling a product that is supposed to provide you security and peace of mind and in reality it is sub par and requires troubleshooting almost yearly and constantly goes off line. Had this company for over 3 yrs and every time they point at the internet service and then end up changing their equipment and it works. After explaining to a tech that the equipment wasn't working well he basically said it is what it is. I was shocked that they don't have pride in their product as techs but the salesmen think it's the best in the world. Had a whole week of no service when out of town and then it starts to work. Even had a sensor go bad when out of town and it set off the alarm and it must have been going off for at least an hour and no one responded. I was called and told someone would check the house and no one to be found. Horrible service and product is a scam. You can pay much less for a DIY and have better quality and service. Scam company. Take your hard earned money elsewhere. Save yourself time, money and most importantly your home. read more

Do not make the mistake that my wife and I made. Do NOT sign a contract with Brinks. My wife and I are moving. We have been with Brinks for many years. Basically, their motto should be: you can check out any time you like, but you can NEVER leave. Impossible to cancel our account with them. We are paying them month to month. They auto withdraw monthly from our checking account. Our logon info suddenly does not work, and when I try to reset my password, the reset email never comes. They put us on hold for HOURS. After which they beg us not to cancel. but finally agree to send us a cancellation notice via email that NEVER comes. All the while, they keep billing our account, monthly, and even raised our rate. What do we do? PLEASE, stay away from Brinks. You will thank me. read more

First I'll start with a good Brinks technology is awesome, I believe it's off the old alarm.com system but their keypads sensors and cameras are top-notch and very very quick. If you like their tech go for Brinks. But I'm going to give you a fair warning, caveat emptor. Their customer service , call response and their scheduling department are the worst on planet earth. If you don't mind clueless people, long wait times on the phone, and broken promises, Brinks is your company. If you go with Vivint or ADT you're gonna spend a lot more money, but at least you might get a better response. Once the system is in, it is excellent and I'm very happy with them. I dealt with customer service hell in Las Vegas and today I'm going through it again with them in California. Once again to reiterate one there technology is awesome to the value for the technology is awesome at least if you're switching from AT&T digital life, their customer service wait times and general knowledge is substandard at best . read more

Brinks Home Security blows! Our contract ended and after a month of trying to contact someone in customer service to inform Brinks that we will not be renewing the contract, I was placed on perma-hold for over an hour each time and then told they needed to transfer me to someone else to end the contract. I finally received the paperwork I needed to fill out to not renew the service. I looked at my bank statement and brinks has charged us once again. Shoddy service, equipment, don't do it. I am now turning them into the Better Business Bureau! read more

To whom ever this may concern, I was a SLAVE to brinks for 6 years and once my contract ended, they send you through a whole lot of B.S. just to terminate an account, send out termination letters that needs to be signed!!! Just the thought of B.S you have to go through, personally I wouldn't recommend this company to (NO ONE)!!!! Please do yourself a favor shop elsewhere!!! read more

This security company sucks !!!!!! I can't express the frustrations I've had with them. I am billed for services I do not get and can't get anyone to answer their phone or message me back. I am done with them. Don't use them. I would give a minus if I could. read more

I give this company one star if I could I'd give them a -5 starsTheir customer service is so bad and so uncooperative it's ridiculous I would not recommend this company to my worst enemy and then they lock you into a long contract and they try to renew it without you even knowing about it now they're all bad stay away from this company if you know what good for you read more
