User manualIntruder alarm system
Intruder alarm system with video module VIDNET on board is not a CCTV surveillance system that simply records
videos that are accessed by the system user. Rather, VIDNET is a complete video alarm system that sends a short
videoclipwiththealarmnotificationtotheSECOLINKPRO appforimmediatereviewanditcanalsolinkthevideo with
the central monitoring station (CMS). VIDNETdelivers faster response to an actual crime scene because the user or
CMS operator filter out false alarms. The system should include at least one analog camera covering assets and key
entrance points where a thief, vandal,or trespasser could show up. Up to four analog cameras can be connected to

1. REGISTRATION OF THE ALARM SYSTEM IN ALARMSERVER.NET
ALARMSERVER.NET is simply a service platform that keeps in sync end user devices which have the SECOLINK PRO app installed with the
alarm system. Status (armed/disarmed, alarms, troubles), temperature in premises (measured by temperature sensors BT1, BP1, or keypads),
and video recordings made by VIDNET can all be monitored using the service. This platform is also useful to installers to remotely monitor alarm
