Understanding Security Network Components
Your security network is made up of devices that consist of anything that communicates with the
TouchScreen, such as Door/Window sensors, lighting devices, thermostats, Panel Interface devices, key
pads, and key fobs. The TouchScreen communicates with sensors by radio frequency. Optional cameras
communicate with the security network router wirelessly. The TouchScreen maintains communication
with the system servers through the Internet and by cellular.
The following graphic shows how the network is set up.
