Installation that you can do yourself.
Most people are able to install the alarm system by themselves in a couple of hours. First you connect the Alarm box to the power outlet and a network socket in your router. Then you continue the installation and configuration of accessories using our web portal.
Every installation is unique but follows a few simple guidelines regarding alarm accessories:
- Mount the base unit in an area where there a wall- and network socket is easily accessed (as well as a phone socket if an alarm through a call is wanted). If the purpose is to use it as an burglar alarm then it is vital that in order to reach it you have to pass a rigged area.
- Place the magnetic contacts on the front door and set them to be ”active” in home mode in order to create a perimeter protection. Doors that are often used could be given a short delay to reduce risk of false alarms.
- Place motion detectors in places where potentially unwanted guests have to walk by. Avoid facing the accessories towards windows and heat sources because they may interact with change of light and air streams.
- The movement detectors are immune to pets (weigh up to 18 kg/40lbs). But, the immunity is heavily affected by pets that are taller or can move around 1m above the floor. Avoid facing the detectors towards stairs if you have pets.
