Retrofit kit

I was reading about the new product coming out. I have a Vector 2000 wired system that was in the house when I bought it. I have never had it connected to the outside world. It has been unplugged for 10 years. I plugged it back in and all 4 door sensors still work. So do the 2 motion detectors. Is this system able to work with the retrofit kit? Does the current system stay powered up and the new bridge just tap in to the existing wiring? Or does the new bridge connect to the existing wiring and the old system powered off? Debating whether I just go all new or a combination of retrofit and new. I currently have a Ring doorbell and 2 external cameras. Thanks David.

    The retrofit kit is not out yet, but from what I have read you connect the old sensor wires directly to the bridge, the old system is not powered or used. But if you only have 6 old sensors, I would go all new.

Ring contacts retail for $20, not sure motions but a bit more. You probably are better off getting new 10 or 14 piece kit instead.

        I was eagerly awaiting the retrofit kit to cut the link with my current monitored system. I have a pretty standard set up with door sensors as as well as motion sensors and break glass sensors. There is also an internal siren Unfortunately, the kit does not work as I was hoping expected (similar to
