Keypad

Some keypads can also be used by the user to turn different parts of the system on and off, if it is a zoned or partitioned design.

Monitoring

This is the method by which a monitoring company is notified of a breach. Phone monitoring is the standard. Cellular monitoring, VoIP monitoring and radio monitoring are other methods. Any one or a combination of methods can be programmed into the system.

Zone

Many residential units are zoned designs. Zones divide different sections of the alarmed area, and are usually grouped by room.

Stay Arming

Stay arming will turn on only the perimeter devices of a system, so that a user who is within the perimeter is secure within it, and the system will alert the user if the perimeter is breached.
