Why Alarm Keypad is Essential and How to Use It in the Home Security System? An alarm keypad is used as a way of controlling an alarm system. This includes arming and disarming the system. An alarm keypad can be the primary controller for a wireless system or a secondary local point of access for a home security hub. The Roombanker alarm keypad embodies typical sleek and minimalist style, adding a touch of elegance to your smart spaces. With one-key arming button and secure password disarming functionality, as well as customizable options, it serves as the perfect choice for smart space security and automation systems.
Alarm keypads are the home base for security system. Think of it like your security system's headquarters—the control room, the command center, the ship's bridge, the captain's chair. It's an interface between you and the security devices installed throughout your home. The keypad gives you an overview of the entire home security system, and gives you access to arm or disarm the alarm. It receives signals from all your installed equipment: PIR motion sensor, door and window contact sensors, flood sensors, security cameras, or other devices you might have installed.
These security devices communicate with the alarm keypad, sending updates and alerts on the condition of your home's security status.
