What is the best way to set up my system? Where should I put my Control Panel and the Sensors?
We recommend that you take some time in advance to think about the placement of your Control Panel and Sensors. The best position to site your BT Home Monitor Control Panel is usually by your main entry / exit point, or in a hallway or another central position in your home. Your Control Panel must be plugged into a power socket and a telephone socket. This may dictate where it is located. Note that the alarm is pre-programmed with default settings, allowing you a pre-determined amount of time to enter (45 seconds) and leave (60 seconds) your property before the alarm sounds. If the control panel is not near your front door you can either change the default setting to give you more time to leave your home, or alternatively use the Keyfob or Keypad (sold separately) to turn the system on and off. Placement of the Control Panel out of view does enhance the security of the system, ensuring intruders cannot easily locate and damage it. Lastly, think about where you want to place the Sensors
