CHeKT Video Control Panel Zone Types & Setup Guide

The CHeKT Video Control Panel Supports Nine Zone Types

Info
These zone types operate similarly to zone types found on standard alarm panels.

Entry/Exit Zone (Alarm Code: E134 | Restore Code: R134)
This zone applies an Entry/Exit delay to triggers.

Exiting: After arming the panel, the Bridge will ignore any triggers on this zone for the duration of the Exit Timer setting.
Entering: After the first trigger, the Bridge will ignore any additional triggers on this zone for the duration of the Entry Timer setting. If the VCP is not disarmed within 60 seconds (default), the first event video will be uploaded to the Monitoring Portal as an alarm.

Notes
Default Entry/Exit timer settings can be adjusted in the VCP Settings Menu.

Follower Zone (Alarm Code: E132 | Restore Code: R132)
A Follower zone behaves like an Entry/Exit zone if an Entry/Exit zone has already been triggered. If no Entry/Exit zone has been triggered first, this zone will behave as an Instant zone.

Instant Zone (Alarm Code: E130 | Restore Code: R130)
When the VCP is armed, all alarm triggers on this zone will be immediately uploaded as events to the Monitoring Portal.

24-Hour Zone (Alarm Code: E133 | Restore Code: R133)
This zone uploads events to the Monitoring Portal regardless of whether the VCP is armed or disarmed.

Alert
 Important: If video verification is required on any 24-hour zone, this zone type must be used.

Exterior Zone (Instant) (Alarm Code: E136 | Restore Code: R136)
Behaves the same as the Instant Zone described above, but uses the independent alarm code (E136) to allow custom automation responses for outdoor detectors.

Exterior Zone (Entry/Exit) (Alarm Code: E134 | Restore Code: R134)
Behaves the same as the Entry/Exit Zone described above, and uses the same alarm code (E134).

Intercom Armed Zone (Alarm Code: E420 | Restore Code: R420)
When selected, any events from this zone will send a remote intercom notification to the customer End-User App and, if enabled, a signal to the monitoring station. As an Armed Zone, events are only sent when the system is armed. If the central station signal is enabled, it is sent concurrently with the customer End-User App notification.

Intercom 24-Hour Zone (Alarm Code: E420 | Restore Code: R420)
When selected, any events from this zone will send a remote intercom notification to the customer End-User App and, if enabled, a signal to the monitoring station. As a 24-Hour Zone, events are sent when the system is armed and disarmed. If the central station signal is enabled, it is sent concurrently with the customer End-User App notification.

Live Video Only Zone (No Alarm Code)
This zone type is intended for cameras that should not generate any events. When selected, all alarm triggers from sensors, analytics, and API alarms will be ignored.

Alert
Important: Use this zone type only for cameras where event recording and monitoring station notifications are not required.
