5010 Auto Arming

Dunno. You would think that any zone programmed as "stay" would bypass automatically (unless you opened the entry door during the exit delay). The thing that would drive me nuts would be the bedroom keypad beeping the "auto arm" warning at you (particularly if you were already fast asleep).

It might not be such a good thing to do. You may have forgotten to close the dining room window and your system may not arm, or if it does, you'll have an unprotected entry point and no active motion detector. Either way, you'd be vulnerable and would have lost the benefit of even the system's "stay" mode.

Thanks guys,

This thought was actually for my own system... just in case I don't get enough days off installing as it is.

No bedroom keypad, and only the front door would be armed in stay. Hopefully this option will be added in future versions though.

I never use the auto arm feature but I've run across systems that do. They usually have activated auto bypass to at least allow the system to partially arm.

I could never understand who would ever want to use this function. Residential or commercial.

Store owners with lazy/stupid employees. dealt with a few break ins saying the system didnt work. And low and behold no arming the night before. so there are a few uses.

I've used it for security cages, you know like a Costco where they have a cage for the high ticket items. Make it auto arm if it's not armed at a certain time...area or partition of the main system.

That'd be just to risky in my estimation. Or the panel would have to have a very detailed log. I can just imagine someone not closing the door all the way and when it comes time to arm, it can't. Now someone else ( like the janitor after hours) has an opportunity to do what ever they want. Would a log show that the system didn't arm because the door wasn't closed or would it just show that it didn't arm?

Just my luck I'd get sued for half a million and the janitor would get the 60 inch TV.

I wasnt talking about a 5010.

Welp if the cage is closed it will arm it. If it's opened it will report a fail to arm/close and CS can make the appro. phone calls.

Program your interior zones as stay-away and they will auto-bypass on arming as long as the e/e door is not opened during the arming cycle. I don't think I'd like this to happen automatically at home, never know where I'm going to be at midnight...

Regardless of Entry/Exit Zones Open or not during arming cycle, The 5010 will arm in away mode during auto arming.
