1.3. System Monitoring
When an event occurs within the system, the Control System sends a message to your
monitoring service describing the exact nature of the event. This enables the monitoring
service to take the required action. System monitoring can implement either regular
telephone or cellular communication.
Remember that no security system can prevent emergencies. This system is only intended
to alert you in case of an emergency and should not take the place of prudent security
practices or life and property insurance.
1.4. Home Automation
An optional expansion module can provide you with the ability to control up to 16
individual electrical appliances or lights using the front panel keypad, wireless keypads
or keyfobs. Additionally, each appliance can be programmed to be turned on and off
automatically according to various schedules and system status conditions.
1.5. Self-Monitoring
In addition to the ability to report to a monitoring service, the system can also send you
and other users notification when an event occurs. This may be in the form of vocal
messages played over the telephone or, if your system supports cellular communication,
you can receive information on system status via SMS. If an alarm occurs on the
premises, you are informed no matter where you are in the world.
1.6. Telephone Control
DTMF Telecontrol
The iConnect offers a range of “Telecontrol” features that provide remote access via
the telephone. These features include remote arming/disarming, HA on/off, PGM output
activation/deactivation, siren cancel and Two-Way audio via the Control System’s built-
in microphone and speaker -- see Telecontrol.
The Two-Way Audio features allow you to contact your home directly in the event of an
alarm or simply to check the premises when you are away.
