Brinks Security Systems are designed to provide security to homeowners. The panel that is installed near the door is the control center of the system. This panel is programmed to recognize when a secured zone of the home has been compromised. It is important to know how to reset the panel of a Brinks Security System as false alarms will occur. Resetting the panel allows the system to clear any false alarm codes and rearm the security system.
