NOTE: This app requires a compatible security system and an interactive MyAlarm service plan to function. Contact your MyAlarm Registered Installer to discuss service plans and options before downloading the app. DESCRIPTION: The MyAlarm iFob Control app provides real time control and feedback of compatible, IP enabled alarm systems. Users can arm and disarm areas, control outputs and doors, view system troubles and alarm system history as required. Multiple sites are supported allowing easy interface to your home, office and holiday house etc if required, and all events performed via the app are recorded in the system history log for easy auditing. All user restrictions configured on the panel are enforced by the app meaning app users can only control areas and doors they have access to on the system. Selected MyAlarm service plans include the ability to report alarm events via push notification and email. Each site can be configured for 10 iFob Control users and various app functions can be restricted by the system owner if required giving them total control. If you are in doubt how to set these options contact your MyAlarm Registered Installer for assistance.
