Step E- Set Up My Sensors
A sensor or detector is what triggers an alarm to tell you when there is a
problem. They can include movement sensors, vibration sensors, reed
switches (for doors or windows), smoke detectors, panic buttons or medical
alarms. To set up your sensors, click the ‘Sensor’ button in the main menu.
Your Valet Digital alarm system comes with two Wireless Passive Infrared
Detectors. On the back of each of these should be a sticker with a ‘1’ or a ‘2’
on it. These have already been added to your system as Zone 1 and Zone 2.
The Zone number corresponds to the sticker on the back of your detector.
Click on the ‘Edit’ button next to each sensor and enter a description for each
(eg. Lounge room & Main Bedroom).
Step F (Optional) – Enable Patrol Guard Responses for your account
If you want to be able to send a guard when an alarm is triggered, you will
need to provide us with your credit card details because guard call outs are
billed separately from the monitoring service. Click on the billing
button in
the main menu; enter your credit card details and click ‘save’. Your credit card
details are encrypted & stored on our server. You will never be charged unless
you request a guard to visit your premises. Once completed you now have the
added security of a 24hr guard service on call.
Step G- Test Your Account
Once you have registered and configured your account online, it’s a good idea
to test it out to make sure everything is working correctly. Read this section in
full before starting your test and double check your contact phone numbers
are correct.
1) Arm your alarm using your Remote Control
2) Set off one of your sensors by walking in front of it
3) Wait for 1 minute.
4) Disarm your alarm using the Remote Control
5) You should receive a phone call from the Valet MONITORING CENTRE
automated operator, which uses advanced voice technology to speak to
you. The automated operator will say;
‘Hello. This is Sally the automated phone operator from Valet Monitoring. I
have urgent alarm messages for…’ [Your name and account details will be
