VIP
has been equipped with many features related to security applica-
tions. The current configuration page allows you to configure your
VIP
unit

applies to transmitter units. However, receiver units do provide the same
features. In most surveillance-related applications the receiver is located in
a secure alarm center-type environment, while the transmitter is mounted
inside or at the location to be monitored. Additional information regarding
