Security System Basics
What is a Point?
A “point” is a detection device, or group of devices connected to
your security system. Points display individually at the command
center 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 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 # ALARMS appear
before the point text when there is an alarm. There are two types
of controlled points, perimeter points and interior points.
Perimeter Points
These points usually include all exterior doors and windows of
the building.
Interior Points
These points usually include interior forms of burglary detection
devices, such as carpet mats, motion sensors, or inside doors, for
example.
