New Feature: Smart Areas, 2GIG’s new partitioning solution
Partitioning is the process of dividing security sections of a home or building into smaller areas so that users can arm some sections of the house while leaving other areas disarmed. This provides home and building owners both security and convenience, as it allows them to walk through their structure without the concern of tripping alarms for areas they’d like to keep secure and armed. Smart Areas is shipped disabled by default to allow our dealer partners the flexibility to provide service where needed. Smart Areas can be enabled from Installer Programming Question (Q69).
Some examples of Smart Areas (Partitioning) use cases include:
» Arming a section of a room that contains a safe that contains gun collections or valuables. These areas may not be accessed as frequently as the other areas in the room.
» Having a portion of the home designated for use by others, such as guests or property rentals. Partitioning enables the homeowner to arm some sections of the house they’d like to be ‘off limits’ to other people.
» Disarming the garage while the homeowner is at work to allow a package to be delivered and stored safely on the premises.
» Secure swimming pool or spa area to help reduce the risk of drowning accidents. In California, it is now required that newly-built pools and spas include at least one safety measure, including an alarm.
