Night Stay can arm your exterior doors and windows to instant status. So if someone opens one of them, the alarm will sound without any delay.

Arming Custom allows you to bypass up to 5 of your system’s sensors. For instance, if you want to keep your back door open to let your dog have access to the backyard, you can bypass that sensor. Here’s how to customize:

To use Quick Exit when your panel is in Arm Stay and you need to leave quickly without fully disarming your system, simply tap . You won’t need to enter a code.

To bypass a sensor, first be sure your system is disarmed. You can’t bypass a sensor if it’s armed. Note that you can never bypass fire zones.

If you make a mistake while entering a user code, press the key to start over. Always use the key to clear the previous entries or you may enter an incorrect code.

: Chimes and volume settings on the optional secondary 7" touchscreen apply only to optional screen, and not to your security system’s main panel.

When someone disarms your system, the Command panel takes a screen grab of the event so you can see who disarmed the system. Here’s how to check for those snapshots:

ADT Command works with the ADT Control app to use geo-fencing technology to sense when you’re getting close to or leaving your home. This capability allows you to set up automations related to when you arrive or depart. To take advantage of geo-services, follow these simple steps:
