By combining Livewatch’s DIY home security systems with Moni’s professional monitoring, Brinks Home Security is striving to compete with other major names in the industry by providing unparalleled brand recognition and competitive value. The company’s system is both affordable and loaded with features, which is why Brinks Home Security makes our list. Two monitoring options are available from the company. Here’s some pros and cons of the Brinks Home Security system:Among the biggest decisions to make when deciding which home security company to
choose is whether you
want to install it yourself or have a professional do it. Some people love the idea that they can install the system themselves, while others are concerned about being able to do the installation correctly. Additionally, some people want a professional to come to their home and show them how the system works, while others want to figure things out on their own. Which kind of person you are and what you can accommodate in your daily schedule are both going to matter when you are considering the installation options. With a DIY installation, there’s no need to worry about the timing: You simply get the equipment and hook it up when it’s convenient for you. That makes it a lot more convenient for people with busy schedules. But one problem with this kind of installation is that no one is there to walk you through how the system works. You also don’t have someone to help you get it hooked up, and if you have to work with customer service over the phone, it can become stressful.
Most of the DIY systems today are wireless configurations. As mentioned before, it will also save you a lot of time in the process. If you can a hang a picture on the wall, there is a good chance that you can install a wireless security system yourself. Going wireless means that there are no wires to run except for the electrical plug that will power the control interface. Typically, you only need to be able to screw
some cameras or sensors, or in some instances just stick them to the wall via tape adhesion. That means you don’t have to break, drill, fish, or run wires through your wall, and you could connect to your control box without having costly electrical installations.
No other company on our list gives you that option. Usually you’re locked in to either installation by yourself or by a professional with no wiggle room. Brinks gives you options, because there is no one size fits all when it comes to securing your home. You also get a money back guarantee for 90 days to ensure that you’re happy with your new
system. Brinks is a reliable, well known brand for home security for a reason. They care about the services and equipment they provide and about the customers they serve. For homeowners in rural areas, Protect America provides the best option, and in some cases the
only option. Most security companies provide coverage to only a set geographical zone, but not so with Protect America. You can choose to connect your home security system to the company’s emergency operators through a landline, broadband, or a 4G cell network. The price you pay for monthly monitoring depends upon which method your system uses to connect. Rural customers often pay more for services.
