My Brinks home-security system was working fine until a long power-outage drained the system battery. When the power came back, the battery eventually recharged, but the keypad display remains blank. The buttons beep when you press them, but nothing works.

I called Brinks and they said this behavior is by design. They eluded to the fact the system could be reactivated over the phone line … but they ended the call because I’m not paying monthly to have the system monitored.

Does anyone know how to re-activate this system?

I have always wondered with those commercials. You know when the "would be" robber kicks the door open and within 2 or 3 seconds the phone rings and its Brinks Home Security. Does anyone have any experience with this? How true is this, and how fast do they actually respond?

My nephew just bought a remodeled home. It was a flip house. This house has a brinks home security system and no codes or manuel was left in the house. Brinks wont help him reset the alarm unless he signs a 3 yr contract. He doesn’t want to use an outside service, he just wants it to sound if someone breaks in. Anyone know how to reset it?
