Do you have an existing Hardwired alarm system? For some, that can be a hard one to figure out. After all, you can't see the alarms wires inside your walls any easier that you see your electrical outlet's wiring, right? Most homes are going to have either a hardwired or a wireless security systems. However, there is actually a third type of alarm system, a hybrid alarm system, and while they are not incredibly common, they are sometimes the best solution for re-activating an existing security system.

Having a Brinks Home Security System will keep money in your pocket when you reactivate your existing security system. Brink's Home Security, called Broadview Security from 2009 to 2010, installed high quality hardwired alarm systems. With Brink's out of the alarm business, many companies will suggest that you abandon your existing equipment and replace it with wireless. However, the benefits of a wireless security system vs a hardwired security systems don't begin to tip the scales. So if a young well-meaning gentleman strolls into your home and tries to convince you to trash your old hardwired system and "get modern," toss him out on his hind side! Or you can politely ask him to leave and read this article to make an informed decision.

Brink's is arguably one of most well-known names in security. They have been in business since 1859 and the name Brink's is practically synonymous with armored trucks. In 1983, they started Brink's Home Security and became a force to be reckoned with in the home security market. Between 2009 and 2010 Brinks re-branded themselves with the name Broadview Security and then joined forces with Tyco International. They were again re-branded under the ADT Security Services name.
