Understanding and Managing Duress Codes

The Duress keypad code is used to disarm the system and send a silent alarm to the central monitoring station. It gives the appearance of disarming the security system if an intruder is forcing you to disarm your system.

IMPORTANT:  By default, the Duress Code is disabled.
