Talk to a small alarm installation company and look for someone with a reputable and local monitoring station. I have a few ideas and pointers on my web page. http://members.rennlist.org/warren/security.html Stay away from Brinks or ADT.

Use wireless. If your Brink's is hardwired, it could cost you a lot more in labor than buying a new wireless. Don’t try to string wire. Use wireless.

I am not trying to insult your abilities. I am appealing to your practical side since there are a whole whack of companies out there offering to do it for free as long as you sign up for monitoring. For a single story bungalow a very basic security system can be bought outright for somewhere between $250.00 to $500.00 fully installed, if you don't want monitoring. If you get it from a reputable alarm dealer he will supply you with a system that is designed to be installed by professionals who know what they are doing. I have seen most of the systems that are offered in retail for do-it-yourselfers, & at best I can only describe them as toys for tinkerers. They cost twice as much as the ones offered by installing dealers, & you haven't even started to factor in the cost of the wire, & specialized tools that you will have to buy so you can properly hide the wire in your home. I have on more than one occasion been called in to service systems that were installed by either an amateur or do-it-yourselfer, & I either fixed the problem, & cringed at what I saw, or told the customer that they would be better off if they allowed me to start from scratch & build them a descent system. Simply because I could spend less time doing that then trying to unravel someone elses mess. Furthermore, you should check your local bylaws regarding security systems, & police responce. In the city where I live it costs an alarm system owner close to $90.00 per false dispatch of the police to a premises due to a call generated by an alarm system. After more than 3 false calls to the same premises, they just stop responding altogether for one year. Can you be sure that you will be able to install a system that will be trouble free, & not be causing the police unnecessary dispatches to your home? Even if you can arguably save a buck or two on your security system installation, is it really worth the risk of unneccessarily draining police resources, when your installation starts to act up? Call a reputable alarm dealer in your area & leave the security system to the professionals. Get references & check them out as well just like you would for any other contractor. Trust me, do-it-yourself alarm installation just isn't worth it. Cheers!
