7. Telecontrol
The iConnect Control System offers a range of Telecontrol features that provide
remote access via the telephone. These features include Two-Way Audio, remote
arming/disarming and siren cancel.
Two-Way Audio
You may use the Two-Way Audio features to check your home in the event of an alarm
or as an alternative means of communicating with members of your family. For
example, you may wish to call an elderly person who has difficulty reaching the phone.
Using its Two-Way Audio features, the Control System automatically picks up the call
and you can communicate via its built-in microphone and speaker.
7.1. Calling your Home
You may call your home at any time in order to contact your family, operate your
system or check your home while you are away. This feature is available for either
regular telephone communication or cellular communication.
Making a Call using a Regular Telephone
When your security system shares a telephone line with other devices (e.g. telephone
handsets, an answering machine or fax), it is important that the Control System
distinguish between calls so that it knows when to pick up the relevant call. For this
purpose the iConnect
employs a double call method.
To make a call to the Control System using the double call method:
1. Dial your telephone number.
2. Wait for two or three rings then hang-up.
3. Wait at least five seconds and dial the number again; on the second
ring, the Control System picks up and sounds two tones.
Making a Cellular Call to the System
If your system supports cellular communication, it has its own individual telephone
number. Therefore, the double call method is not necessary and you may call the Control
System directly.
