we just changed from brinks to exl security. The salesman came to our house and said since we are the "corner house," they really would like to use it for advertising purposes and gave us the equipment for free as well as no activation or installation fee. We needed to replace our back up battery and the brinks equipment was 3 yrs old too so we thought it would be good upgrade since its mostly wireless. But now I m concerned!! bc they didnt even put up any yard signs since i thought that was the whole point of using our home!! we have 2 more days to cancel their service so plz help…OTHERWISE I WILL BE STUCK WID A 3 YR CONTRACT….anyone knows if they increase their rate? right now its 37.99$/month I m trying to look up exl security on the internet but no success…its wid Monitronics…Help anyone? Suggestions? comments?
PS sorry i know the post is at the wrong place but i just hope someone who knows comp security will know home security systems too may be!!
but I have no idea who to go with. I tried to do research based on current and former customer reviews but the only conclusion I can come to is that I’m screwed. I was going to go with Vector or Sonitrol but I don’t like the idea of Sonitrol’s silent alarm. All I read about ADT and Brinks was that they make it ridiculously expensive to come out and fix equipment malfunctions, some reviews said the systems did not work, etc. Any help/info will be GREATLY appreciated 
Thanks!!!
We are moving into a home that already had Brinks installed but we have never used a home security service before and aren’t sure how these services work.
Do we have to activate with Brinks only or switch companies AND use the Brinks keypads/equipment or would a new company have to come in and replace the equipment entirely?
Or should we just stick with Brinks?
Thanks.
What is the best Wireless Home Security Monitoring System w/ siren… one that would monitor all windows & doors including Garage. I’ve seen ads for ADT, Brinks, GE. Looking for the best system, and ease of installation. (Not sure an installer is necessary or if do it yourselves are just as good.)
Talked to Brinks and ADT in regards to a home alarm/security system in Oldsmar, FL. Does anyone have any advice, suggestions as to experience with these two companies or others in this area you can suggest? Thank you.
I am considering getting brinks for my home security. I sit reliable? What equipment should I get?
I had a sales rep offer me free installation and equipment. He said there was no upfront cost, only paying the monthly payment. I was quoted a month plus tax which comes to about a month. I live in a townhome and was told I would be able to get at least 10% off my personal property insurance because of the home security. Does this sound like a good deal? How’s the quality of Firstline compared to ADT or Brinks? Are they reliable. I’m located in Minnesota and seem not to have a local office. Should I be worried if something were to happen with no technicans to come fix it asap?
Our new house has a preinstalled Brinks home system. After searching reviews, it appears they are a hit/miss in terms of customer complaints and complements. Does anyone have any honest opinions and stories about who is a better home security system provider. Thanks.
Who is a better home security company to go with, ADT, Brinks or some other firm? Any good stories and suggestions?
Do you have either of these or have you heard good or bad regarding either Brinks or ADT home security systems?
