We had them install the whole system with the sensors, motion detectors and everything. We had a positive experience with him. He was prompt and came when he said he would and installed everything. He answered our questions and walked us through how to set up our code and tested it. He explained to us what to do if the alarm went off and he cleaned up after himself.
Description of Work: We used Brinks Home Security.

We set up an apointment with the sale person and he did not show up. After we finally, caught up with the manager they agree to reschedule but could not come before 10 a.m. (weekdays) or after 3 p.m. on a Saturday. There was no flexibility to accomodate our schedule. So they asked me questions over the phone and send me an estimate. It was very expensive for the monitoring fee (double the competition) and added maintenance fee for equipment that was theirs. Their sensors also are not designed for double hanged windows which is the kind that we have.

They were great. They came and stayed the whole day. They had a nice follow up. This was very good. The few times I set it off in the morning, due to not being awake they were nice about it. Everyone I checked made them the better price. One thing that made them different is they are a hard wired system. We will continue to use them in the future.
Description of Work: They installed our home alarm system. We are on a monthly contract with them.

In general I thought they were OK. The system and service has been fine. The installer was knowledgeable, friendly, pleasant and efficient. I don t think he gave me all the information. He didn t install something, but didn t tell me why. I have no comparison for their prices. Until I decide to change, I will continue to use them.
Description of Work: I now have my alarm system with them.

Install was fine, I just didn't know I was signing my life away. See, they have what I believe is a sneaky clause in their contract called an evergreen clause. Basically it says that unless you write to cancel within x days of contract termination, the contract will automatically renew another year. And there is no getting out of the contract, the fees for the whole year of service are guaranteed by that clause. So, I believe they stick that in the fine print hoping you won't notice, therefore I'm shouting it from the hilltops to get the word out. If you or anyone you know is considering going with Brinks (or likely any national alarm monitoring service) tell them you're not signing any contract with an auto-renew clause!

Awful. We called national ADT and they connected us to the Lanham office which is our local office. A representative was scheduled to come out. She never showed up, nor called. After repeat phone calls, still no return call. The "manager" was called and he did not return our call. We called the national office back and they scheduled another representative from that office to come out the following week. In the meantime the original rep called four days later asking to reschedule! He showed up (a bit late) was nice enough and we filled out the contract. He then called back the next day and told us he made a mistake and the price was about 400 dollars more expensive and couldn't explain why and contradicted himself several times. We spoke to the manager again and he offered no help.

Every aspect of their service was excellent. The sales representative was on time and explained everything completely. The installer arrived on time, was very courteous and professional, and gave a very good training presentation. An adjustment had to be made to the original work order and that was made without any additional cost. I would recommend this company very highly. We are very pleased with our new system.
Description of Work: Brinks converted an old wired alarm system to their system and also installed wireless contacts on two doors.

This company employs people to go around and patch holes caused by their installation of systems. They leave damage behind which they expect the consumers to take care of on their own.
Description of Work: They left massive holes in our walls after installing a security system. They finally came out to repair the holes. The contract also said they would install a security system on the back door, but they never bothered to install it. After moving, they're still charging us for the service.

I appreciated the fact that after it was installed, someone came out to make sure I was happy with the job. They are also quick to respond to false alarms. The price I pay per month is fair for the security it gives my family.

Pleasant and knowledgeable salesperson; the installer came on a Saturday and found ways to install the system without deviating from the original plan despite our having a finished basement. Great experience and we have not had a false alarm yet. It cost $350 for the alarm: Four doors, a motion detector, smoke detector, LCD keypad, and a wireless key chain on/off switch. It cost $350 for the alarm/smoke detector monitoring for a year.

I WOULD SAY THIS IS A ALRIGHT COMPANY. OVERALL THEY DID A GOOD JOB INSTALLING THE SYSTEM. BUT, WHEN THERE ARE A LOT OF POLICE AROUND THE SYSTEM CONSISTly GOING OFF. IT GETS REAL FRUSTRATING. AND IT TAKES A WHILE FOR SOMEONE TO COME OUT. SO IT CAN GO OFF FOR TWO HOURS.

BRINKS HAS ALWAYS BEEN A GOOD COMPANY TO DEAL WITH. WE HAVE USED THEM FOR HOME SECURITY FOR MANY YEARS. WE HAD OUR FIRST PROBLEM THIS PAST YEAR WHEN A DOOR ALARM STOPPED WORKING PROPERLY. SOME WIRES HAD WORN OUT, AND HAD SEVERED. BRINKS CAME OUT WITHIN A WEEKS TIME, REPLACED THE BROKEN PIECES, AND CHECKED OUT THE REST OF OUR SYSTEM. EVERYTHING IS WORKING GREAT NOW.
Description of Work: BRINKS IS OUR HOME SECURITY SYSTEM PROVIDER. WE HAD THE INITIAL SYSTEM INSTALLED MANY YEARS AGO, AND WE CONTINUE TO PAY A MONTHLY FEE. THEY CAME OUT TO REPLACE A BROKEN DOOR ALARM THIS PAST YEAR.
