Security Zones

There are four basic types of security zones available for use, excluding smoke detectors. 

Subscriber Portal

To manage Security Zones, select Security > Security Zones on the toolbar. 

Result: The Security Zones page displays.

From this page you can do the following:

• See the current state of each zone and the last time each reported an event. 
• Click Edit to modify the names of the zones. 
• Turn zones off or on in the Bypass column.
  

Zones that are turned off do not trip alarms when they are faulted. Fire / Smoke detectors cannot be turned off. If any security zones are currently faulted, preventing the system from being armed, you must click the Turn Zone Off button for that zone before arming the system. 

To view the four most recent history events for each device, hover your mouse over each clock icon. When you move the mouse, the recent events history disappears.
