I don’t know about your specific panel, but every panel that I have configured, both DSC and Honeywell, have an option to transmit immediately and require an additional code to send a cancel signal. That’s how mine have always been configured. If the alarm goes off, I want to monitoring station to know it and call. There’s likely already been a 2-minute entry delay, then you want to wait another 30 seconds before even transmitting, oh, and there’s no duress code. This all makes the Ring Alarm utterly useless in a home-invasion scenario, which is the scenario I care the most about, since if someone breaks in when I’m not home they just get my stuff.
I’ve got the entire Ring ecosystem, but unless someone can confirm that duress codes will be available soon, I have to consider returning the whole thing. It’s starting to appear that development of this product has focused more on kewl features than on the actual security aspects. The absence of a real glass break dector is also puzzling.
