You may be asked for this information if you place a technical support call or request. You will see all alerts sent to the panel from the sensors, if the panel has been accessed by a user and what, if anything, was changed.

This screen will also display any alarms that may have been triggered. This will be useful information in the event of an intrusion and may be requested by police. You can easily view the alarms and triggers to know the date and time as well as the alarm status and trigger point.

The System Info screen is discussed in the video. This screen will give you information about your system. This screen is crucial for trouble shooting, upgrades to firmware and technical support.
