Burglary Protection
Burglary protection is provided by perimeter and interior security sensors. When the system is armed in the Away
Mode, both perimeter and interior sensors are armed and can trigger an alarm. When the system is armed in the
Stay Mode, only the perimeter sensors are armed and can trigger an alarm.
Both arming modes offer an Exit Delay that allows time to exit the premises without triggering the alarm. Upon
re‐entry, an Entry Delay is enabled that allows you time to disarm the system. For more information, see "Home
Security Protection" on page 20.
You can set sensors to sound a chime and/or a voice announcement when they are triggered. This allows you to
monitor your doors and windows even when the system is disarmed.
Users
A Vivint Technician has already configured an Admin User ID PIN Code for your system. This User ID can be
used to control the system as well as create and change the other Users. The Admin User can also access sev-
eral system settings at the Control Panel.
Alarms
When an alarm occurs, the Control Panel siren (and an external siren if installed) sounds for a preset time. Dur-
ing an alarm, and after disarming, the alarm history button displays all of the alarms that have occurred and iden-
tifies the sensors that were involved. The alarm history is cleared the next time the system is armed, or it can be
cleared manually.
Messages
The system supports messages from the Central Station. Messages can be about system upgrades, additional
services, special regional weather alerts, and more.
Trouble Alerts
The system monitors itself for abnormal operating conditions and will alert you if any trouble is detected. Trouble
conditions can also be reported to the Central Station.
Wireless Security Sensors
Your Vivint system comes with wireless security sensors. Some security sensors are visible while others may be
hidden by doorjambs or wherever the sensor is installed.
