Overall - very well. Jose the technician was very friendly and knowledgable. Jose had another technician, Kevin, assist him. Both men started promptly and verified their work upon completion. Jose was very patient and thorough in training us to use the security systems and all features.

Overall the experience was good. Their local office was a great help and very friendly and organized, especially in comparison to other national companies with no local offices and only rude call centers. The first representative to come out for an estimate did an excellent job at explaining the system and providing only what i needed. He did forget to note one of the items that would be installed, which caused a bit of delay on the day of installation but it was fixed. The only problem I can report was the inconsiderateness and of the person installing the system as he left marks on the walls, ceiling, etc. and didn't clean up too much. He was not customer friendly and so brought down my overall experience with Brinks. So far so good as far as the service is concerned.
Description of Work: Brinks installed a new alarm system, including 3 door alarms and 2 motion detectors. The price includes the premium service and one month of service at $35/month.

Equipment was free, but service contract is onerous. Consider your need for "safety" carefully before committing.

The consultation and installation were both exceptional. Every employee is respectful, professional and friendly. They don't pressure you, but help you to make the right decisions. The installers took the time to make sure that components were installed in aesthetically pleasing places - lining the smoke sensor up with recessed lights for example. They were fast and respectful of my time and arrived as scheduled. The installers took time to teach me how to use the system (without making me feel stupid). The customer service, on the rare occasion that you need it, is top-notch. When I accidentally set off my alarm, the response time was immediate. Every single employee of Brinks consistently goes above and beyond for their customers. And above all that, the price of installation and the cost for monitoring are very affordable. I'd highly reccommend Brinks to anyone.
Description of Work: I like the peace of mind that a home security system gives me. In addition to security, the system I use also has smoke and fire detection. I like that these protect my biggest investment, my home, and give me a discount on my homeowner's insurance. Brinks first came out for a consoltation to identify my needs, customized my system and schedule an installation. They installed a new security system with alarm, door sensors, glass break, and smoke/heat sensors with keychain remotes. Brinks let me ''swap'' out standard components for ones I needed. For example, I don't want motion detection because I have pets, but I DO want glass break sensors - they let me pick what I really needed. This is the third house that I have owned that I used Brinks to install and monitor a new security system.

We haven't had any problems with the system at all. They gave us a good feeling with them monitoring our home. The people that we have dealt with have been very friendly to us. We would recommend them to others and would feel good about it.

We felt secure having ADT in our home. We pay quarterly and I felt they were priced pretty fairly. We have never had them actually have anyone come out except when they did the initial installation. I believed that they would be there in case of an emergency. They had a pretty good reputation in home security.

We had an instance where we had left the door open and the alarm went off and they responded right away to that. They had kept us informed of everything and provided us with the service we needed. Everything had gone as well as we had hoped and it was a pleasure working with them.

We have been very satisfied with Brinks. They have always been very friendly and very courteous to us. A few years ago lightening fried our system and they came out and replaced everything at no cost to us. That made us very happy and when the alarm goes off they call right away.

ADT is a very reliable home monitoring system. We have had several false alarms. They were very responsive and quick to call and make sure everything was all right. $35 a month was right along the range of other home monitoring companies. They gave us that sense of security that elderly people need.

ADT maintains and monitors our alarm system. We have had no false alarms since the system was installed. They do not offer maintenance check ups. They are linked with the local fire and police departments, so they can contact them directly in case of an emergency though.

ADT has been an excellent home monitor for us. We have had several false alarms within the last year, and they were always quick to call us. The most memorable experience was dealing with the sales rep. Rory had explained all of the different types of monitoring systems, and she helped us pick out the best one for our home.

We do not experience any false alarms. They do check up on the alarm system if we have a problem and explain everything. Whenever we need them, they're always on it. They were great. I would hire them again. There were no problems whatsoever.

I have had no troubles at all with my alarm company. I have had a chance to see their response time, and you will get no complaints from me. They have even performed service checks on the system and will do so again if requested. I am a very satisfied customer and do not see myself leaving their companies services any time soon.

We used them once when there was a problem and their response time was good, and they called us to check up on us also. We had them install our system too, but I couldn t remember how much that was. We felt good having them and they had a good service I'd say.

ADT originally installed the system and monitored it until I found a cheaper company. Then it took six months to get them to stop sending me bills and when we talked to someone there, she was nasty and sarcastic.

This was the third monitoring service I have used and this one was really nice to deal with. They encouraged their users to set their alarm off from time to time to just make sure they responded timely to it. That showed me they were doing their job and I can appreciate that. They also kept me under the same contract I had through the old service they bought out which was convenient.

I have not had any troubles of any sorts with the ADT company or their equipment. The alarm works just fine and has never been triggered in any wrong ways. They do not do any regular maintenance checks, but, will come out and service any thing that may be needed. I am happy to have found such great service providers and do not plan on leaving them.

Their system came installed with our new home so we used them, but I wouldn t recommend them to others. We had a couple of false alarms out here with the smoke and fire detectors, which their service was supposed to cover. I was afraid the house would burn to ashes before they got the fire department out here, judging by how slow they were to respond.
