1. About Your Alarm System
This is your smart alarm system. All sensors are wirelessly connected to the panel. The panel is always watching the sensors in your home to see if something is wrong. If one of the sensors reports that something is wrong while the system is armed, the panel begins sounding, and an alarm text notification is sent and an alarm call is made to all registered users.

6. Setup
6.1. Where to Place Your Devices
Smart Panel Placement
- It should be close to where you come and go for easy access.
- Find a spot with a good Wi-Fi and cellular signal. The panel needs an Internet connection to send notifications and text messages.
- Use an unswitched wall outlet to prevent accidental power loss.
- Avoid mounting the panel onto metal surfaces as they can block RF signals.
Installation Options
- Wall Installation: Fix the included bracket to the surface with screws, then insert the panel into the bracket.
- Desktop Placement: The panel comes with a kickstand. When opened, the kickstand allows placing the panel on the desktop.
Door/Window Sensor Installation
Attach the bracket and magnet to a flat surface using the included mounting strips. Hold the sensor against the bracket and push it down to fix it. The magnet should be aligned with the middle of the sensor and placed within 0.6 inches (1.5cm) when the door or window is closed.
Motion Sensor (PIR) Installation
- Mounting height: 79 to 87 inches (2 to 2.2m) above the floor.
- Mount the bracket with screws, then place the motion detector in the bracket.
- Specify the right direction of the detection range.
Special Considerations for PIR Motion Detector
- Do not install outdoors, in a garage, or behind glass.
- Avoid places where it could get wet (e.g., near swing-out windows).
- Do not install within 3 feet (1 meter) of heat sources (electric heater, heat vent, fireplace) or sources of turbulent air.
- Do not install behind large appliances or furniture that may obstruct its motion sensors.
6.2. Initial Setup Steps
Install the SIM Card
A micro SIM card is required for cellular services (text messages, alarm calls).
- Slide the cover in the direction of the arrow and lift it up.
- Install your SIM card into the slot.
- Put down and slide back the cover in the direction of the arrow to lock it.
If the cellular icon at the top of the home screen turns black, your panel is connected to a cellular network.
Download and Install the App
Scan the QR code below or search for "Smart Life" in Google Play/App Store to download the free application for Android or iOS. The app will guide you through registration and connecting the panel to the internet.
Add Your Panel to the App
- Ensure your phone's Bluetooth is on and connected to your home 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network (5G is not supported). If you have a dual-band router, set up a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi signal separately.
- On your panel, go to Settings > Wi-Fi > Ready > Start. The screen will display "CONNECTING...".
- In the app, tap the "+" icon in the top right corner to scan for devices automatically. Select your panel to connect and enter your Wi-Fi network password. Follow in-app instructions to complete the connection.
6.3. How to Pair/Add Sensors/Remote Tags
All sensors supplied with the kit are pre-paired. If you need to add more, follow these steps:
Pairing by Panel
- Go to Main menu > Accessories > + > Start. The panel enters sniffer mode and counts down the pairing time.
- Trigger your device to be added as follows:
| Device Type | Action to Pair |
|---|---|
| Door sensor | Start with door sensor and magnet closely aligned, then separate until the light comes on (do not activate tamper switch). |
| Motion sensor | Trigger with a motion. |
| Remote tag | Press any button. |
| Keypad | Enter USER PASSCODE + DISARM BUTTON. If you want the doorbell button to be used, pair it again using the doorbell button. |
- Once a device is captured, a window about the device pops up. You can edit the name, type, and tap Enter to add it.
Pairing by App
- In the app, select your panel in the All Devices list, then tap Accessories > +. Your panel's light ring will blink white.
- Perform the same trigger action as described in the
