* Perimeter zone (Outer zone defense): Detecting the space like doors, windows, etc., generally use wireless door magnet sensors and wireless curtain PIR sensors.
* Motion zone (Inner zone defense): Detecting the space like living room, aisles and bedrooms, room doors etc., generally use wireless wide-angle PIR sensors and door sensors.
* Emergency zone: Detecting the space like emergency area (such as emergency distress, medical rescue, gas leakage, smoke and fire alarm, etc., this zone keep 24-hour monitoring status automatically. Generally for panic button, wireless gas sensor and wireless smoke sensor.
After setting the zone types, the user can arm the alarm in either "Armed Away" mode or "Armed Home" mode.
* "Armed Away" mode: Once any detector in perimeter zones or motion zones is triggered, the host will set off the alarm immediately and dial your preset numbers automatically.
* "Armed Home" mode: Once any detector in perimeter zones is triggered, the host will alarm immediately and dial your preset numbers automatically. It will not alarm after any detector in the motion zone is triggered.
