Understanding the Security Zone Types
Security zones are the sensors that detect movement and the opening and closing of doors and
windows. The sensors communicate wirelessly with your TouchScreen. Security zones are added to
the system and configured by your installer. You can enable and disable each security zone using the
Security widget.
