Brinks Home Security brings its powerful industry reputation to the table alongside three smart home security packages. Founded over 160 years ago, the Brinks name is well known and highly rated for home security. In fact, the company ranks No. 1 in overall satisfaction by customers in the 2018 J. D. Power study. Some of the best features of the Brinks Home Security system are found in home automation and extra efficient smart home technology. We reviewed Brinks against three other home security competitors, evaluated three of its home security plans and took note of all the positive and negative features. Brinks absolutely excels at customer service and smart home features, doesn’t require a landline, and offers the “fastest alarm response” right to your smartphone. But the company lacks in its diversity of contract options, availability of any kind of theft guarantee, and in its transparency of some key features and prices. Whether or not the security system is “easy on you” is up for interpretation.
