BT Home Monitor ~ Issue 5 ~ 1st Edition ~ 26_01_ 04 ~ 5725

I have an answerphone, will the alerts still get through?

Upon activation, the monitoring service will first dial your home. If it encounters an answering machine, you may receive a message or part- message alerting you to the event, and asking you to respond. If you do not reset the Control Panel at that time, the alert process will start as normal.

I have BT Select Services e.g. Call Waiting, will this still work ?

The system is compatible with nearly all of BT’s other Select Services, such as BT Call Minder.

Call Barring to National Rate numbers will prevent the Control Panel from dialling out to the monitoring service as this uses an 0870 number. To use the service you must lift the 0870 barring.

Can I put in 999 as a contact?

The system does not allow you to enter an emergency service as a contact number

What if my friends and family don't have mobiles or e-mail addresses?

The system will call a normal home phone number, if that is the only contact method available to a neighbour or support contact.

How can I tell if a BT Home Monitor alert is a false alarm?

FOR INTERNET USERS ONLY

The BT Home Monitor system provides you with all the information from the property, during any event. Once your receive an alert, you can access your account (either by looking on the web or dialling a status report) for a full list of sensor activity and status events. Armed with information about which sensors have been triggered, you are then in a position to make an intelligent judgement. If for example, if a single sensor has been activated, you may choose to monitor your BT Home Monitoring account to see what other alerts are being generated (if any). The intelligence in the BT Home Monitor VP1000 puts you in control of the situation.

USAGE

Why do I need a Master Code and User Code?

The Master Code allows access to the System Profile menu where settings can be changed. The Master Code is User Code 1. Another 7 users can be added and given unique PIN numbers.

Users 2 to 8 can only turn the system on and off. By assigning unique codes it is possible to see who has responded to an alert and, if you have activated the Alarm On and Off Status feature (see Section 3), you can see who has turned you system on and off and when using your personal online account.
