Disarming

Touch to disarm panel manually

To manually disarm your panel, touch the icon in the center of the screen. You will be prompted to enter a valid code. Failure to enter a valid code with the time required will trigger the alarm.

When someone manually disarms the panel the built in camera will take a photo and save it on the camera page along with the date, time, and name of the user.
