Introduction; System Features - Visonic PowerMaster 360 Installer's Manual

1. INTRODUCTION

The PowerMaster 360 security and smart home platform is a comprehensive security system based on the
PowerMaster security logic and PowerG proven RF security technology with IP communication. The PowerMaster
360 platform allows adding cellular (2G or 3G) communication. Property owners receive notifications of events by email
and/or SMS. In addition, the system includes a WiFi module that supports IP cameras and a Z-Wave controller that
supports Z-Wave devices.
The PowerMaster 360 security system is fully controllable from a computer, and accessible to home and property
owners through their mobile devices. Installers program and configure the system remotely through the computer and
mobile application's Virtual Keypad (see APPENDIX A / B).
This manual refers to PowerMaster 360 v18 and above. The most updated manuals can be downloaded from the
Visonic Web site http://www.visonic.com.

 Installer's Guide (this manual) – for use of system installer during system installation and configuration
 User's Guide -– also for use of system installer during system installation and configuration, but also for the master

Description
The PowerMaster 360 when used with Next
CAM PG2 PIR-camera detector and GPRS
communication is able to provide the
Monitoring Station with clips captured in
alarm situations. The system sends the clips
to the Monitoring Station automatically for
burglary alarms and, depending on setup,
also for fire and personal emergency alarms.
The PowerMaster 360 can provide images
from the Next CAM PG2 by demand from a
remote PowerManage server. Pictures are
taken based on a command from the
monitoring station. To protect customers'
privacy, the system can be customized to
enable the "On Demand View" only during
specific system modes (i.e. Disarm, Home &
Away) and also to a specific time window
following an alarm event.
PowerG devices are enrolled from the control
panel's Virtual Keypad. "Pre-enrollment" can
also be performed by entering the PowerG
device ID number and then activating the
device in the vicinity of the panel.
Device parameters and related system
behavior can be configured from the control
panel or from a remote location.
Each PowerG device has its own settings
which can be configured through the control
panel by entering the "DEVICE SETTINGS"
menu.
Note: The minimum configuration of the
system includes one detector.
