							Alarm system features (overview)
You can use the system as an alarm system. When the alarm system is triggered, such as when motion
is detected or when a window or door is opened, the system can:
– send a notification to your mobile devices ( “Status notifications”, Page 37)
– call a pre-programmed phone number (such as your mobile phone or work phone) and play a message to alert you to the situation ( “Alert by phone call”, Page 47)
– execute a smart control scenario, such as recording camera images or turning on a smart plug ( “Smart control features (overview)”, Page 49)
Important:
R This system is an auxiliary system; it is not designed to provide complete protection from property loss.
Panasonic will not be held responsible in the event that property loss occurs while this system is in
operation.
Arm modes
You can arm and disarm the alarm system by changing the arm mode. When the alarm system is
disarmed, all alarm system features are disabled.
Sensors that can be used to trigger alarm system features
The following sensors can be used to trigger alarm system features.
– Window sensors and door sensors (KX-HNS101)
– Motion sensors (KX-HNS102)
– Water leak sensors (KX-HNS103)
– Glass break sensors (KX-HNS104)
– Built-in motion sensors in outdoor cameras (KX-HNC600)
– Built-in motion sensors in indoor cameras (KX-HNC200, KX-HNC210)
Note:
R The following sensors cannot be used to trigger alarm system features.
– Built-in sound and temperature sensors in indoor cameras (KX-HNC200, KX-HNC210)
– Built-in overcurrent and overwattage detection sensor in smart plugs (KX-HNA101)
Triggering the alarm system
The following explains what is needed to trigger the alarm system, and what happens when a sensor is
triggered while the alarm system is armed.
1 The sensor must be enabled for the current arm mode in order for it to be triggered. You can also
select whether or not the sensor uses entry time (explained below).
R See  “Alarm system settings”, Page 46.
R Water leak sensors are always enabled regardless of the current arm mode. They cannot be
disabled and they are not subject to entry time or exit time.
2 The alarm system must be armed in order for it to be triggered.
R See  “Arming and disarming the alarm system”, Page 45.
R If the current arm mode is  [Arm: Away], exit time is in effect beginning when the arm mode was
set. During this time, sensors cannot be triggered; this gives you time to leave the house after
arming the alarm system. The exit delay alert sounds during this time. Once exit time runs out, the
alarm system is armed.
44
Using the app 
						

							3The sensor makes a detection (a door sensor detects that its door was opened, a motion sensor
detects motion, etc.).
R If the sensor is configured to use entry time, entry time is in effect beginning when the sensor was
triggered. During this time, the system responds as follows.
– The hub sounds an alert (i.e., entry delay alert).
– The system sends a notification to your mobile devices (i.e., entry delay start notification). This feature can be disabled ( “Notification settings”, Page 96).
– The event (i.e., entry delay start) is logged in the sensor’s history.
R If the alarm system is not disarmed before entry time runs out, the alarm system will be triggered.
4 The alarm system is triggered. The system responds as follows.
– The hub sounds an alert.
– The siren sounds and flashes according to its settings (see  “Setting device profiles (device names, locations, and other settings)”, Page 92).
– The system sends a notification to your mobile devices. This feature can be disabled ( “Notification settings”, Page 96).
– The event is logged in the sensor’s history.
5 If the alert by phone call feature is enabled, the hub calls the pre-programmed phone number.
R See  “Alert by phone call”, Page 47.
R If you cancel the alert ( “Canceling an alert”, Page 45), the alert by phone call feature will be
canceled for the current event.
6 If the sensor is configured to execute a smart control scenario, the scenario starts.
R See  “Smart control features (overview)”, Page 49.
