Re: Brinks

[Injun Ear <gonsleenger@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well, they said they were gonna send me a form to sign.  I can return
that via certified, return-receipt mail.  Or I can just write them
a strongly-worded letter and send that certified, return-receipt.

I only use 1 keypad.  The house is 1800 sq. ft.  I'm looking at a
Vista 20P panel and 6160 keypad on Ebay.  Seems like that's all I
need.  From what you guys are saying on here, I can use the existing
switches, motion detectors, fire and smoke detectors.  I'll save the
Brinx panel and keypad for when I move or when they come looking for
their stuff.
