One of the people who posts here has copied the original FAQ for the newsgroup to his private website but he doesn't represent
anyone here.  There is no official organisation.

Brinks uses a proprietary system which is not compatible with anyone else's hardware.  They lease the systems to homeowners.
Although there have been comments to the affect that they will sell the system outright, they will not support it unless you pay the
monthly fee.

It's mostly trash unless you pay for Brinks' service.
