Useful additional features
I don’t think my kids like that I can spy on them but it did help me discover who was helping themselves to my whiskey collection! Not the first thing I thought of when I got a security system installed, but boy am I glad for it now!

Brinks is Totally ineffective
I was looking at a Brinks Review and came across one which says that the system is slow. It seems Brinks is totally ineffective as a home alarm. Is it true? Have you had any such experiences?
