PRODUCT SUMMARY
The Image Sensor is a pet immune PIR (passive infrared) motion detector with a built-in
camera. The sensor is designed to capture images during alarm or non-alarm events
when motion is detected. Users can also initiate image capture on-demand to
Peek-In
on their property. Images are stored locally and uploaded either automatically
when motion is captured during alarm events or manually when requested by the user.
Once uploaded, images are available for viewing on the Alarm.com Website or an
Alarm.com Smart phone app. The sensor is battery powered, all wireless and simple to
install and operate. Both an Alarm.com module and subscription to an Alarm.com service
plan are required.

Service Plan Options
Image capture features require either an Alarm.com Basic or Advanced
Interactive Service
Plan and one of the following Image Sensor add-ons:
Image Sensor Alarms
- Includes upload of images from alarm events only.
Image Sensor Plus
- Includes upload of images from alarm events
and
non-alarm
events. User can configure
Daily View
schedules to receive images automatically each
day or
Peek-In
to initiate an on-demand image capture immediately, or when the next
motion occurs. Users can also request images that are captured automatically while the
system is
Armed Away
or following a
Disarm
from an
Armed Away
state. Up to 40
captured events can be uploaded per month. Additional image uploads may be added
in increments of 20 at an additional charge.
HARDWARE COMPATIBILITY
Security Control Panel:
Interlogix Simon XT v1.3 or higher or XTi v 1.0 or higher
Alarm.com Module
:
Simon XT Module with firmware 146 or higher (XTi requires
module with firmware 151 or higher)
Required Daughterboard:
Image Sensor daughterboard (attached to compatible
Alarm.com module)
Available Zones:
One zone per Image Sensor installed. On the Simon XT only, one
additional zone is required for the required daughterboard. Up to three Image Sensors
may be added per system.
(Note: The Alarm.com GSM Module V4 is required to use
both Image Sensor and emPower
™.)
HARDWARE INSTALLATION
1.
Create Alarm.com Customer Account
-
Select service plan (including Image Sensor
add-on) and register the Alarm.com module serial number on the Dealer Website.
2. Install Image Sensor Daughterboard
-
Locate the connector on the back of the
daughterboard. Remove the green backing from the daughterboard mounting adhesive.
While the module is powered down, align the daughterboard and module connector.
Press to secure.
(NOTE: Verify module compatibility before attaching. Once attached,
daughterboard is difficult to remove and removing may damage hardware.)
3. Install Alarm.com Module Inside Control Panel
4.
FOR SIMON XT ONLY, Connect Daughterboard Alarm Wire-
On the XTi panel, the
blue alarm hardwire is not required and should not be connected. For XTi panels, skip
to step 5. When using the Simon XT panel, you must connect the included blue wire
from
the “HW” hardwire output located on the daughterboard (use “HW” not “C”) to the
“HW2 IN” (terminal 3) slot on the Simon XT panel to enable local alarm activations.
Once an Image Sensor has been enrolled into the panel, a hardwire zone will
automatically be programmed as “Sensor 39: ISHW.” To ensure alarms are tripped
properly on Image Sensors according to their enrolled group, the hardwire sensor group
is automatically configured. Do NOT alter the sensor group of Sensor 39 ISHW.
(Note: On the Simon XT, the panel scr
een will display “Sensor 39: ISHW Alarm”
regardless of which Image Sensor tripped the alarm. The Alarm.com Website &
notifications, and the central station report will indicate the specific Image Sensor that
tripped the alarm.)
5. Route Daughterboard Antenna
- It is important to be sure that daughterboard antenna
is pulled away from the Alarm.com module. Follow the panel-specific antenna routing
guidelines to optimize sensor range.
Simon XT-
The antenna should be pulled down off the Alarm.com module and routed
in a “J” shape to the left towards the corner of the panel (when looking at the panel from
behind.
Simon XTi-
Bend the antenna at a 90
°
angle ¼ of an inch from the edge of the
daughterboard. The daughterboard antenna should rest inside the panel
’s plastic
casing parallel to the panel.
6. Register Module and Test
-
Power the panel and initiate a comm-test to ensure the
Alarm.com module is properly installed and communicating with the Alarm.com NOC.
7. Enroll Sensor in Panel
-
Simon XT-
To enroll the sensor on a Simon XT, follow these steps at the control panel:
a.
Begin with the batteries removed from the sensor.
b.
On the panel, scroll until the screen displays “System Programming,” and press OK.
c.
Enter the installer code (default 4-3-2-1), and press OK.
d.
S
croll up to “Interactive Services,” press OK.
e.
Scroll down to “Image Sensor Setup,” press OK.
f.
Scroll to “Image Sensor Learn Mode,” press OK. The screen should display “Power
up or reset I.S. now.
”
g.
Insert the batteries into the sensor. Wait (approximately 20 seconds) for the control
panel screen to display:
“I.S. [x] Added as Sensor [y].” The LED on the sensor will
turn solid for ~5 seconds once the sensor has enrolled.
h.
Perform another panel comm-test to be sure that Alarm.com receives the updated
device equipment list. This will speed up the sensor initialization process.
The sensor is now learned into the panel. Sensors are enrolled in group 17 by default.
To change the sensor group, use the
Sensors
menu in System Programming. Image
Sensors may be enrolled in groups 15, 17, 20, or 25. (No chime issued for group 25.)
On the Simon XT ,a mix of sensor groups 15/17 and 20 are not supported. If Image
Sensors are in group 15 or 17, they cannot also be in group 20, and vice versa. After
enrollment, be sure to keep the sensor and panel powered so the sensor can complete
an initialization process with the Alarm.com Network Operations Center. This process
will take several minutes. Images cannot be captured until initialization is complete.
