At each install, our Techs are trained
to teach the home owner or business owner how to use the Alarm System
and they all have an Arm Stay and Arm Away option, but when should
you use those features?
The difference on most alarm systems is
simple: The Motion Detectors are not active when the System is in the
Armed Stay Mode. This is ideal when someone is inside the premises.
That way, if anyone opens a protected door or window the Siren will
go off.
So the Armed Stay Mode is used when
someone is home, usually when sleeping at night.
The Armed Away Mode activates all
detection devices. This is the mode used when everyone is leaving the
premises. If there is movement inside then that would trigger a
Motion Detector.
The mistake often made is to leave the
system disarmed when leaving the home or office for a short period.
We frequently hear reports from customers that 'Just went out to the
store for 20 minutes!' and in that short time a break-in occurred.
That turns into an expensive trip to the store!
