What is a Point?

A “point” is a detection device, or group of devices

connected to the security system. Points display

individually with custom text. The text can describe a

single door, motion sensor, smoke detector, or an area

such as UPSTAIRS or GARAGE. There are two basic

types of points, controlled and 24-hour.

Controlled PointsControlled Points

Controlled Points

Controlled points respond to alarm conditions

depending upon whether the system is turned on

(armed) or turned off (disarmed). Controlled points

are programmed to respond instantly to alarm

conditions or to provide a delay for you to reach the

command center and disarm the system. The words

A1 # ALARMSA1 # ALARMS

A1 # ALARMS appear before the point text when there

is an alarm. There are two types of controlled points,

perimeter points and interior points.
