You never want to lose faith in your security system!Yourself, wife, kids, housekeeper, a babysitter?All security panels offer multiple “passcodes” allowing every family member to have their own unique arm/disarm code. While most customers use just a single primary passcode, we do however recommend programming a babysitter code. This special passcode can arm the system, but the system can only be disarmed with this code when the babysitter code was used to arm. Your normal passcodes can
always disarm the system however regardless of what passcode was used to activate the security system. For example, you have a babysitter watch your kids while you’re out on the town with your wife. The babysitter can arm and disarm the system while you’re gone, but once you arm the system with “your” passcode, the babysitter code can no longer be used to disarm the system.

intruder before entering. The most popular communication method today is broadband Internet with cellular backup. IP communication with the central station over the Internet is lower cost. But what happens when you have a power failure?Is your broadband Internet router and switches on battery backup?Generally the cellular unit communicator is connected directly to your alarm panel which has its own battery backup in the event of a power failure.
