Monitronics International, operating as Brinks Home Security, provides monitored alarm systems and smart home services to residential and business customers across the US, Canada, and Puerto Rico.
The company generates recurring revenue from monthly monitoring contracts, with gross margins around 76%. However, it has been consistently unprofitable, posting net losses of USD 0.18B in 2020 and USD 0.68B in 2018.
