SCW SHIELD APP OPERATIONS

Dashboard

DISARMED

System is completely disarmed. No perimeter or motion sensors will trigger an alarm.

STAY

System perimeter sensors are armed. This includes windows and doors. Motion detectors will not trigger.

AWAY

System is completely armed. All perimeter and motion sensors will trigger an alarm.

NIGHT

This special mode allows you to arm perimeter controls as well as arm certain motion detectors. You might use this option if you have a motion detector in an area nobody should be in - like a garage, basement, or attic.

Note: Only SCW tech support can set which motion detectors trigger alarms in night mode. To adjust your night mode contact SCW’s support.

TURNS OFF ARMING SOUNDS

Silences the Countdown Beeps. (Must be enabled prior to arming)

TURNS OFF ENTRY DELAY

This button turns off the entry delay for the door sensors - only use if you have a keyfob or are in night mode, as you won't have enough time to open the door and put your code in before the alarm goes off. (Must be enabled prior to arming)

TROUBLE BEEPS

Trouble beeps indicate a non optimal situation for the system. This can include AC loss, network drop, low battery on sensors, etc. Beeps will occur every minute unless the trouble is suppressed/silenced or addressed.

Your SCW Shield app will alert you via push notification of any trouble and allow you to silence the troubles.

To suppress a trouble, tap the trouble banner, then tap the “bell” icon in the top right corner.

Trouble beeps will be suppressed for 24 hours.

Note: Trouble beeps will automatically be suppressed between 8:00PM and 8:00AM.
