I just moved into a new house which has a Brink's system already installed. We haven't decided if we want to activate it with Brinks yet or not. I don't see the need to pay >$30/month to protect my household goods. That's what I have insurance for. My main concern is protecting my family when we are home. Because the equipment is all purchased, is there a way to use it off-line so that the alarm will go off, but it just won't be connected to the police/fire department? I was originally told yes by someone at Brinks, but when I called back to get instructions on how to do it, I was told that it was impossible to do.
-Thanks Matt
