A group of detection devices connected to your security system.
To turn on your controlled points (burglar detection devices). When an area is armed
and a controlled point trips, an alarm occurs or entry delay begins. When an area is
disarmed, faulting controlled points does not generate alarms.
Your security company or security representative assigns an authority level to your
passcode. The authority level determines what command center functions you can
execute.
Selectively remove points from the security system. You might bypass a point in order
to arm the perimeter with a window open.
A facility where trained personnel monitor your security system 24 hours a day. Your
security system may be programmed to contact the central station during alarm
conditions, enabling central station personnel to dispatch the proper authorities.
A report your system can be programmed to send to the central station indicating that
an area has been armed. Opening and closing reports are commonly used by
commercial accounts.
A list of functions programmed by your security company. They can perform most
command center functions with only two or three keystrokes.
A programmed delay of system alarm response, which allows you to enter an armed
area through the correct point and disarm the area. If you don't disarm before the
delay time expires, the system begins an alarm response, which may include reports to
the central station.
A programmed delay of system alarm response, which allows you to exit after arming
an area. If you don't exit before the delay time expires, entry delay begins. You must
disarm the system. If you don't disarm before the delay time expires, the system
begins an alarm response, which may include reports to the central station.
A point that is not normal (a door or window is open).
To turn on (arm) the security system even though one or more points are faulted.
Force arming bypasses the faulted points.
The security system displays idle text at command centers when it is not performing a
user-requested function. Idle text shows the arming status of the system.
To turn on (arm) both interior points and perimeter points.
A list of functions you execute from a command center.
A report your system can be programmed to send to the central station indicating that
an area has been disarmed. Opening and closing reports are commonly used by
commercial accounts.
An arming command that arms only the perimeter points.
A detection device or group of devices connected to your security system. Points
display individually at the command center with custom text. The text can describe a
single door, motion sensor, smoke detector, or an area such as UPSTAIRS or
GARAGE.
Your system may have relays programmed to provide control of devices such as
premises lighting or entry gates. Your security company programs relays for automatic
control and/or control from your command center.
A service condition that needs to be corrected, such as a broken wire
