Well it's not exactly a scam and Brinks doesn't run the board. Brinks
has a spot on the board but the rest of the seats are filled by the
usual suspects you find at the nbfaa and other organizations.
If you want to give a customer an avenue to fuck with Brinks they (the
customer) can take Brinks to task for not installing an IQ Certified
system as promised in the paperwork. IQ systems require that 18/2 fire
rated cable be used for power/sirens, and 18/4 fire rated be used for
all motions, smokes, keypads, glassbreaks, etc. For a time there I was
the only Brinks dealer I knew of who complied with that shit.
