Keypads

The keypad is necessary for programming the system and giving you "in home" control.  It is typically placed near the door most commonly used for entry/exit.  Residential customers usually prefer to have one near or in the master bedroom, especially in two story homes.  This allows you to arm/disarm the system from your bedroom, and also to see what point of protection is violated, if an intrusion occurs, without roaming through the house to find a keypad.Keypad

All of the arming options and disarming function are on the keypad.  It also provides the ability to summon police or fire assistance immediately in "panic" situations.  It also provides constant updated status of the security system.  Some keypads come with voice capabilities to allow you to hear the status of your system.
