Arming States For Burglar Alarms

Author: Ari Erenthal, Published on May 04, 2017

Burglar alarms give the user the ability to choose how much of their alarm is active at any time. Activating alarm sensors on windows and doors while deactivating alarm sensors inside allows alarm users to move about their homes without having to worry about triggering a motion detector. In this guide, we examine how alarm users operate alarms, including

  • Shunting
