Home Security Protection
Understanding and Viewing Security Sensors
When your system was installed and configured by your Vivint Technician, wireless security sensors were
placed throughout your home to monitor specific doors and windows. The technician, after consulting with you,
selected these doors and windows as likely places where an intrusion might occur and could be detected. Each
sensor was configured to have the system react in a specific way.
Some sensor types such as smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, panic buttons, etc. are always active
and can trigger an alarm at any time. Other sensors on protected doors and windows are part of the home secur-
ity (burglary) protection part of the system, and can be turned on or off.
Turning on the home security protection part of the system is called "Arming the System."
Home security protection can be armed in two modes:
n
Arm Stay
n
Arm Away
