Can the alarm be set off manually intentionally with the remote control? For example, I want to signal for help by sounding the alarm using the remote

I beleive there is a delay and it will only alert if there's motion from my experience. I'm not using it right now because of too much traffic so I can't be too specific. So intentionally no.

I don't think I would try to rely on it for that. It can behave a little quirky when the batteries in the remote are weak. For instance, you could turn it on & then not be able to turn it off until you get new batteries. The batteries are button cells too. Not always easy to find.

No. The alarm is activated only by sensing motion. The remote only arms or disarms the alarm function.

Pressing and holding ARM and DISARM together for about 2 secs triggered the loud siren alarm, (equivalent to panic button on car keys or other alarm systems), but one major disadvantage is that remote does not send radio signals, i.e you have to point the remote at the alarm - which may not be always practical in situations where you want this. Suppose the alarm is in downstairs living room, you are in upstairs bedroom and you sense someone breaking in, you will have to get down, go close to the alarm, point at it and press both buttons with two fingers - think if that would be practical for you.

No, unless you have an AutoPage alarm system with the same type remote. You can't use any type of remote, because they need to be digitally coded to the car or alarm system.

The auto dial is only used to call you or a phoneof your choice in the event of the alarm being set off. The alarm siren will still work even if you do not hook up the phone line. There is very minimal drilling (only for mounting sensors if needed and the control box. I personally think the system should be installed by someone with some knoledge due to programming and mounting the sensors properly.

Thank you to everyone who answered, it seems if somebody activates the alarm, it will not shut off until someone kicks the door down and rips it off the wall

You can set it up locally to control z-wave, but without a monthly service z-wave devices are only controlled by the keypad. There is no remote access without alarm.com

Its actually the top or first button you use on the remote to set the alarm. Press it until you hear the beep sound. If you want it to be less sensitive press it again until you hear another beep sound. It will sound a little different than the first. I believe you can also press it a third time for even less sensitivety however I've never needed to do a third. Good luck!

Yes, you absolutely can. I've done it! Don't know of any remote that can prevent it though?

No. Or at least not directly. You could wire the extra output (usually used for a trunk release) to a remote start unit, but that ends up being awkward. You'd probably want a different alarm.

No. When you turn light off manually, you will need to turn back on manually. The remote unit cuts power off at plug & turns it back on, the light must be manually on for the remote to turn it on & off.

Yes. The alarm is triggered when a sensor changes state. So if you leave it open and don't touch it, it will not trigger the alarm

Yes and no: No, damaging the loop bar itself does not inherently set off the alarm (which is what I think you are asking), but keep in mind that it would be almost impossible to cut through the loop bar (and remove it) without moving the lock body enough to set off the alarm; it's pretty sensitive.

Yes, you can turn it off manually by pressing on the bottom on the unit or on the remote. :)

Yes, they must be turned on manually. After that you can use the remote to change the volume individually. For instance, I had the speakers outside on our patio. One speaker I wanted just a little louder than the other. By pointing the remote at the specific speaker you can change the volume. There is no power button on the remote.

Yes. The only slight draw backs are that some times pressure on the pad can set it off as well. Once you set the unit...if you unplug it, apply too much pressure to the pad, it will sound the alarm. (False alarm) Just reset the Chummie (Top button) when this happens and you are ready to go.

No. There isn't a way to remotely activate it via BlueTooth in an alarm clock function.

Yes, from time to time. Hold the OFF button (top left of remote) for 5 - 10 seconds to power off the unit. Wait a few seconds. Now push the OFF button again ( I forget if it's immediate or you need to hold again for 5 - 10 seconds) and the remote will power up and resest itself

Probably not, we bought it to prevent setting the alarm off by accident. It doesn't prevent it completely- but it has cut down on the amount of times.
