Hello all,

Bought a new house that has a pre-wired brinks system in it. Brinks unfortunately want 35 bucks a month and a 3-year contract to use their service. Um no thanks thought the system was suppose to prevent you from being robed. Anyways I have this brand new never been used system just looking at me asking me to mess with it. Any suggestions what I can do with it? Rewire it myself just for the alarm? Or replace something? Any expert suggestions?

Thanks

Brian

With Brinks hardware your choices boil down to working with Brinks, or replacing the keypad(s) and control with something else. That's it in a nutshell. Their hardware is pretty much under their control, period.
