BT Home Monitor ~ 8th Edition ~ 26th March ’03 ~ 5296
Introduction
Welcome to BT Home Monitoring – the 24 hour
security and reporting system for your home.
The BT Home Monitor VP1000 unites a high
quality security system with an Internet based
monitoring service which will keep you in contact
with the status of your home.
The system is managed by a Control Panel which
collects information from wireless sensors, which
are strategically placed inside and at entry points
to your home.
Once powered up, the Control Panel provides
you with visual and verbal information, and will
automatically provide system status reports.
When switched on, the system is ready to protect
against intrusion. If any sensor is activated, an
audible siren is sounded, and your system will
make a call to the BT Home Monitoring service to
inform you of a potential problem

.
The Control Panel is equipped with Fire, Help
and Emergency buttons for use by people at home
in emergencies. A Smoke Detector can be
integrated into the system to monitor for smoke,
24 hours a day.
You will need a four-digit personal identification
number to manage the Control Panel. Up to 7
other users can be authorised to use the system,
using PIN numbers or a one touch Keyfob.
Please use this guide to install the system, using
the seven easy to follow steps, and to familiarise
yourself with the key functions of the Control
Panel and BT Home Monitoring online account.
