Points

What is a Point?

A "point" is a detection device, or group of devices connected
to your security system. Points display individually at the
keypad with custom text. The text can describe a single door,
motion sensor, smoke detector, or an area such as UPSTAIRS
or GARAGE. There are two basic types of points: controlled
and 24-hour.

Controlled Points

Controlled points respond to alarm conditions depending
upon whether the system is turned on (armed) or turned off
(disarmed). Controlled points are programmed to respond
instantly to alarm conditions or to provide a delay for you to
reach the keypad and disarm the system.
The type of alarm appears before the point text when there is
an alarm. There are two types of controlled points: perimeter
points and interior points.

Perimeter Points

These points usually include all exterior doors and windows of
the building.

Interior Points

These points usually include interior forms of burglary
detection devices, such as motion sensors, or inside doors.

24-Hour Points

24-hour points are always on, even when the burglary system
is disarmed (turned off). There are two types of 24-hour
points: fire points and non-fire points.

Fire Points

Fire points exclusively monitor fire detection devices. They
are always armed and cannot be disarmed. You can clearly
distinguish fire points from other non-fire points at the
keypad.
