Monitronics International, Inc. is an American security company that offers home security systems under the name Brink's Home.
History
Monitronics International was founded in Dallas in 1994 to provide alarm monitoring services to U.S. customers and businesses, as well as financing, technical training and product solutions to dealers within the industry.[3] It was funded mostly by ABRY Partners until it was sold to Ascent Media in December 2010.[4] As of 2015, it was the second largest security alarm monitoring company in the United States, behind ADT.
In 2013, MONI purchased Security Networks, a network of about 225 security dealers, for $507 million to diversify its service offerings and enter into the developing and complementary DIY home service category.[5]
In 2015, Monitronics acquired LiveWatch, a Kansas-based company that sold security alarm and home automation systems for DIY installation.[6]
