ADT Security Services, Inc

They weren't expensive to have the system installed, and I even got an AARP discount. The monthly rates are also reasonable.

I moved from Long Island to Charlottesville in July 2011 and left my wife in a rental house with a 12 month lease while I returned to New York to pack up and sell our house there. Needing monitoring for an existing security system in the rental house, I contacted ADT and salewoman Karen Allen visited and sold me a bill of goods that was deceptive and misleading, in my opinion. Although we had only a 12 month lease she said that the minimum would be an 18 month commitment, but that if I convinced the new renters to use ADT then that would relieve me of my extra 6 month obligation. The misleading part is that the new renters would have to make the same mistake that I did in signing a brand new 18 month commitment - a detail intentionally left out by the salesperson. What a scam. After hearing my experience, the new renters were willing to use ADT but not for more than a 12 month commitment. At first, ADT sent me a termination bill for $337.58 for an extra 12 months - not 6 months, and finally negotiated it down to a $170 penalty. I very strongly advise against using ADT. I am now in a house at Lake Monticello and have had a new system installed by Dave Dawson of Smart Security Solutions with a 12 month commitment and very high quality of service. Oh, I forgot to mention that ADT repair service is terrible. I paid $5 per month for sensor battery replacement service and when one sensor went bad, leaving the house vulnerable, the earliest repair commitment I could get was 10 days away, and the day of the appointment ADT contacted me to tell me he was running late and would have to reschedule, which could not be done for another two weeks. So we went 24 days without protection due to very poor maintenance service responses. This happened twice. Update: Three months after paying $170 in ransom money to ADT, I was shocked to receive a refund of the penalty. Maybe Angieslist.com helped. I would still not recommend ADT, and my evaluation grades stand as is.

I like their technology. They are good and I would recommend them.

I would use them again. I'm pleased with them in every area.

Called them crying b/c our house was robbed the night before and I was apprehensive being in the house anymore without an alarm, they said they could come over that day and put in an alarm. They were over within a few hours and installed the alarm system that day. Explained the system thoroughly.

They were able to get my service up and going right away. I haven't had many problems with my service. What problems I did have, they corrected right away. They call to verify everything is ok if the power goes out. The price is great for the service I get.

I'll tell you that with Brinks, if you have a false alarm like we did at our house because of my mother in law, you better know your pass word. They are very responsive. They will send police right over to your door with no hesitation. We do feel valued by using their services though and would feel fine about giving them a thumbs up to others.

Brinks is great, especially when it comes to wiring work. They do what they promise and make you feel safe with their services. We do not regret using them. They care about customer satisfaction and we are real pleased.

When they installed alarm, they had to schedule 2 appointments, an electrician to connect the alarm box AND the alarm installation technician to install the sensors. The electrician was fine, although there was some miscommunication regarding scheduling. The technician was prompt and polite but did not seem particularly careful or skillful in setting the sensors. Having said that though, the end result was fine. I am very pleased. The installation process though was just a little painful.

Our family has been using Brinks to monitor our home alarm system for about three years and we have never had any issues with the system or the company. We have never had a false alarm or a break-in. As far as I know, any in home maintenance is an additional charge.

Brinks Home Security Incorporated installed our security system with no problems. The company representative came to our home and explained everything to us, the costs, credit checks and how the process was going to work. We were surprised how fast the technician installed the system, and my wife said she was more surprised on how well the gentleman went over how the system worked. He showed us step by step, on how each control worked, and made sure we knew it all before he left. The service was outstanding.

We have been using Brinks Home Security for almost three years and have never had a break in. When we have needed to call customer service, the representatives are very nice and extremely helpful. We will never change our alarm companies.

We've been using Brinks for several years and they do a good job. We haven't had any false alarms, but they showed us how we can check the system to make sure everything is working properly. We do a check on our system periodically.

Our family has been using Brinks to monitor our home alarm system for almost five years and we have never had any problems with them. They are linked to all of the local emergency departments for fast response and they have a great customer service department.

They do a great job in monitoring and driving around our neighborhood. We once accidentally set off our alarm and before we could inform Brinks that it was a false alarm the police was at our back door as well as the front. We had to show our I.D. which was good. We are satisfied with our system.

Brink s Home Security is a very reliable company. It makes me feel safer to have their system in my home. I feel that the technicians are very friendly and professional. I have always been pleased with their services. They are a fair company charging only $25 per month for their security.

Our family feels very safe using Brinks Home Security to monitor our home alarm system. We have been using them for almost five years and have never had a false alarm. They are also linked to all of our local emergency departments to make sure that we have fast response times in case of an emergency.

We have been using Brinks to monitor our home alarm for about four years. Brinks has a great customer service department and in the four years that we have been using Brinks we have never had a break-in or a false alarm. We feel our family is very safe using Brinks.

I've only had to call them twice with problems. I've been very pleased. I've had a contract with them for security monitoring for 2 1/2 years.

We have not had any issues with using Brinks to monitor our home alarm system. We have never had a false alarm, and we have been using them for about two years. They are linked to all of our local emergency departments.
