Sensitivity adjusts the range of the motion detection. High/Medium/Low adjusts the distance. If you are getting unwanted motion detection events, try adjusting the sensitivity down. For example, if you have sidewalk traffic, but only want to capture people who approach the house, try turning down the sensitivity. If your home network changes or if the password is updated, then you’ll need to update the WiFi username and password to the panel and the doorbell. After the panel WiFi is set, use the `Change WiFi’ option to update the WiFi on the doorbell. Press the “Change WiFi” and follow the instructions on the screen.

Setting Smart Arm Transmission Delay Siren Timeout Swinger
Intellizone Smart Alarm
Exit Restart
Unvacated Premises
Description
The panel can automatically enter into Armed Away mode if the motion sensors haven’t been triggered during the preset times. Note: This feature requires one or more motion sensors. The abort window for non-fire alarms. During this time the alarm will sound and the alarm will be annunciated but monitoring services will not be triggered until the transmission delay has elapsed. The duration that the siren will sound during an alarm event. Swinger shutdown is a false alarm prevention setting that prevents the alarm on the panel from repeatedly going off from the same sensor or room. For example, if a single door is open and closed multiple times then the panel will only sound X alarms, where X is the shutdown setting. Note: This setting does not affect calls to security monitoring.
Range On/Off

When enabled, the alarm will be triggered
On/Off Off
when two sensors are violated and the second
sensor isn’t a follower; or if the same sensors
is violated, restored, the violated again.
A door/window sensor and motion sensor can On/Off Off
be grouped in a room. When enabled, a
motion center event would precede a
door/window event otherwise an alarm would
be triggered. For example in Staying (Armed
Stay) mode opening a window from inside
would be allowed (if there was a motion
sensor) but not be allowed from outside.
By default, the panel will restart the exit time if On/Off On
the entry/exit sensor or zone is tripped twice
prior to the exit. For example, a user arms the
system and exits; during that time, they forget
their car keys and re-enters; the sensor was
tripped twice so the exit timer will restart.
If the exit time expires and no exit has been On/Off On
made then the system will switch to Armed
Stay (Staying) instead of Armed Away
(Leaving)

Force Zone
Any open Force Zones at the time of arming On/Off Off
will be considered deactivated by the control
panel. If during this period a deactivated zone
is closed, the control panel will revert that
zone to active status. Consequently, the
control panel will generate an alarm if the
zone is breached.
Abort Annunciation
If the alarm system is disarmed within the
On/Off On
Abort Window, no alarm transmission will be
sent. By default, the alarm system will
annunciate that no alarm signal was
transmitted.
Cancel Annunciation If an alarm has previously been transmitted, a On/Off On
Cancel signal will be transmitted the alarm
system is Disarmed during the cancellation
window. By default the alarm system will
announce the cancelation.
Tamper
By default the panel will record if the panel
On/Off On
has been tampered, including removing the
panel stand or back cover.
G-Sensor
The panel contains an accelerometer to detect On/Off Off
changes in panel position. When enabled, if
the panel moves while in an Armed Away
(Leaving) mode then an alarm will be
triggered.
Cross-zoning
When cross zoning is enabled, it will require
that two separate zone alarms are tripped in a
given time before transmitting an alarm.
Siren Mute
When set is as ‘Enabled’, if Alarm is triggered, On/Off Off
all functions, protocols to server will work as
expected but Siren will not ring. After 30 min,
the panel should automatically turn on Siren
again.
