Changing Modes
Your System can operate in Home, Sleep, or Away mode. Modes allow you to make
system-wide changes. Some possible uses are:
x Home mode can be used when you are home and do not want to receive
notifications whenever someone goes in or out of a door or room. You
could also set up schedules or automations that cause the cameras to
take pictures only when the System is in Away mode.
x Sleep mode allows you to have notifications for Motion sensors be
inactive while notifications for Door/Window sensors that may be on
external doors or windows remain active.
x Away mode can be used when you are traveling or away from your
location.
You can change your System’s mode in several ways. You can set the desired mode by
clicking on the ‘Mode’ button in the blue menu bar. You can also change the mode
through schedules. For example, you can schedule your System to go into Sleep mode at
11PM each night. Or, you can press the ‘Lock’ button on your Keychain Remote to
change the mode to Away.
To change the mode via your iControl Summary page, follow these steps:
1. Click on the ‘Mode’ button in the blue menu bar. You will see a drop-down
menu which shows the current mode marked with a green arrow.
