Sync and Refresh Status buttons
NOTES
- If your system has a Sync Failure, synchronize it with Remote Services manually.
- The buttons on your device or browser may differ slightly from those pictured here.
- These buttons affect only the system currently selected on the browser or mobile device where you’re working. These options take less time than syncing with multiple systems.
User Sync is the process in which the Remote Service and your security system reconcile their data about:
- Addition or deletion of Users
- Changes in a User’s privileges/access
- User codes being changed (this includes the Duress code)
Panel Sync is the process in which the Remote Service and your security system reconcile their data about:
- The control panel itself
- Sensors like smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) detectors, window/door sensors, flood sensors and single-purpose motion detectors (which are different from video cameras that perform motion detection)
- Automation devices
The data exchanged enables the Remote Service to report device problems due to tampering, battery failure or hardware failure; this includes batteries running low in any of these devices.
