Hello there. Another question which gets asked an awful lot about alarm systems is whether you can choose which sensors within your house, are kind of sensed when they go off, so you can choose to ignore certain detectors, for instance. Now the normal way for doing this, most systems have, a way of splitting the sensors into kind of two groups so that you’d use it, for a nighttime setting so that you could get up and go to the toilet or going downstairs and get a drink in the middle of the night without setting the system off.

But, if a burglar was to try and get in while you’re at home, then it would set it off. Now some companies, call that a nighttime and a daytime setting, other companies call it, arming away and arming at home, but the vast majority of systems have that kind of setting in the way we normally set them up.

And this isn’t set in stone, but the way we normally set them up is that, the movement sensors inside the house are, only armed during the daytime setting, armed when people have gone out to work or whatever, and door sensors, they’re armed whether you’re at home or away.

So again, as I say, if you want to get up in the middle of the night, for whatever reason, the movement sensors around the house aren’t going to trip the alarm. But if you were to open the door, the alarm would go off, there are other ways of doing it.

You can choose the technical term for it is bypassing a zone. So you can, when you’re arming a system, choose, to bypass an individual zone,  or detector. Sorry. You could choose to bypass any number of different, detectors. So it’s more of a complex way of doing it.

But it is certainly possible to, choose which sensors are armed, when you arm the system.
