prox fobs
lets look at it this way.
you hold you fob against keypad alarm starts to set, you leave, alarm sets you go to work.
come home open front door you hold prx fob alarm turns off great.
or is it?
try this
you hold you fob against keypad alarm starts to set, you leave, alarm sets you go to work.
some one nicks your hose keys passes them to scumbag, scumbag has your address front door key and can turn alarm off,
no worries insurance will pay out.
no they wont, its your fault for keeping the prox tag with the keys
moral, dont keep the prox tag on the same bunch of keys as your house key
great
oh no it isnt
try this
you have separate key ring for fob, you come home you have left fob at work, / dropped it.
you cant turn alarm off
you cant enter your code because you have forgotten it
you cant enter your code because the keypad will bnot accept code to turn off*
or try this
something happens alarm goes off, you turn off with fob, it then says (in particular a galaxy) call manager reset required you cant reset it becase you havent used the code in so long you have forgotten it.
in short my opinion is dont have prox fobs
(*This is true, since to have an alarm to the latest regs it is programmed not to accept code on entry)
If used correctly prox fobs are use ful for:
the kids so they dont need to know the number (cant tell friemds)
new member of staff / cleaner / au-pair
dont number the fobs, it wears off, if a fob is lost (particularly with a galaxy) you can put a name against each user in the panel, (that is in its programming)
