Alarm.com Image Sensor for 2GIG Go!Control Installation Guide

PRODUCT SUMMARY

The Image Sensor is a pet immune PIR (passive infrared) motion detector with a built-in

camera. The sensor is designed to capture images during alarm or non-alarm events.

Users can also initiate image capture on-demand to Peek-In on their property. Images are

stored locally and uploaded either automatically when motion is captured during alarm

events or manually when requested by the user. Once uploaded, images are available for

viewing on the Alarm.com Website or an Alarm.com Smart phone app. The sensor is

battery powered, all wireless and simple to install and operate. A system with a 2GIG Cell

Radio Module connected to an Alarm.com account with service plan subscription is

required. For additional information on product features, functionality and service plan

options, visit the Alarm.com Dealer Site (www.alarm.com/dealer).

HARDWARE INSTALLATION

IMPORTANT: For smoothest installation, learn in one Image Sensor at a time. Insert

batteries only after initiating learn mode at the panel. (See 4-f)

1. Create Alarm.com Customer Account- Using the 2GIG Cell Radio Module serial

number, create an Alarm.com customer account on the Alarm.com Dealer Site

(www.alarm.com/dealer) with an Image Sensor capable service plan.

2. Verify module & XCVR2 radio installation- Ensure that the communication module

and XCVR2 radio are connected and installed properly inside the control panel.

3. Register Module and Test- Power up the panel and initiate a cell phone test to ensure

the communication module is properly installed and communicating with Alarm.com.

4. Enroll Sensor in Panel-

a. Enter the “system configuration” menu in the “installer toolbox”.

b. Under Q1, select the RF sensor #. (Unused zone 01 to 48)

c. Select the RF sensor type. (Recommended: 04- Interior Follower, 10-

Interior w/ Delay, 23- No Response Type)

d. Select RF sensor equipment type. ((2) Motion)

e. Select RF sensor equipment code. (9999 ADC Image Sensor)

f. Register the RF Sensor Serial Number. Click “learn” to initiate learn

mode on the panel and XCVR2 radio. Power up the Image Sensor by

inserting the batteries or using a paper clip to hold the sensor’s reset

button for 3 seconds.

g. Select RF sensor equipment age.

h. Select RF sensor loop number. (Recommended: Loop 1)

i. Select RF sensor dialer delay.

j. Construct RF sensor voice descriptor. (Recommended shortcuts: 147-

Motion Detector, 120- IS)

k. Select RF sensor reports. (Recommended: (1) Enabled)

l. Select RF sensor supervised. (Recommended: (1) Enabled)

m. Select RF sensor chime.

n. Continue to edit next sensor or select skip, end and exit to save

changes.

o. Perform a cell phone test to ensure that the updated equipment list is

sent to Alarm.com.

The sensor is now learned into the panel. After enrollment, be sure to keep the sensor

and panel powered so the sensor can complete an initialization process with the

Alarm.com Network Operations Center. This process will take several minutes. Images

cannot be captured until initialization is complete. To verify that this process is

complete, enter the “Image Sensors” menu in the “installer toolbox”. Select the Image

Sensor of interest and verify “rules status: complete”.

5. Choose Sensor Location and Mount

a. Determine sensor mounting location based on installation scenario and criteria

noted in the “Installation Guidelines.” For best image capture, the target capture

areas should be centered in the frame. (e.g. If customer wants to capture people

coming through door, the doorway should be centered in camera/PIR view.)

b. Verify RF communication prior to mounting- To verify that the Image Sensor

communicates with the control panel in its mounting location, enter “system test”

through the “installer toolbox” and trigger the Image Sensor.

c. Determine desired mounting angle for customer scenario; attach mounting arm to

sensor-back and re-attach sensor to sensor-back. The mounting arm attaches to the

back of the sensor enabling the sensor angle to vary based on the application. To

obtain the full 35’ x 40’ coverage area, mount the sensor at a 6˚

downward angle. This corresponds to a “teeth up” orientation of the mounting arm.

For most smaller areas in residential installations, mount the arm with the “teeth

down” for a deeper angle (18˚). Secure the back of the sensor to the mounting arm

with the provided screw. If the camera will be mounted perpendicular to the wall, the

mount the sensor without the mounting arm/bracket directly on the wall, at a 12°

angle.

(Top: Teeth Up, Bottom: Teeth Down) Sensor-Back

d. Choose applicable mounting bracket for customer scenario. The sensor

hardware packet contains 2 mounting brackets for different mounting scenarios.

Use the provided large screws and anchors to attach the bracket to the wall.

Flat Wall Mount Corner Wall Mount

Mark location of bracket holes on mounting surface at a height of 8 feet for maximum

coverage area. (Leave at least 3 inches of clearance above the sensor to allow for

battery replacement without uninstalling the mounting bracket.)

e. Place sensor with arm on mounting bracket. Adjust the horizontal positioning of

the sensor to point towards the desired coverage area. To adjust positioning, lift the

mounting arm at least 1/3 of the way off the bracket and rotate the arm.

f. Secure the mounting arm location by sliding lock pin into the hole. Use the washer

and remaining small screw to secure the lock pin by screwing upwards through the

bottom of the hole in the mounting bracket. (Note: To make it easier to adjust

PIR/camera field of view in step 10, complete this step after horizontal sensor

positioning is finalized.)

6. Complete PIR Testing

Verify that PIR coverage adequately covers area by performing a walk test. (See “Pro-

gramming” section for more details.)

7. Test Image Capture

To conserve the customer’s monthly image upload quota, automatic alarm uploads are

disabled for the first four hours after any new sensor (Image Sensor or other) is installed

into the system. Installers can verify sensor positioning and test image captures on

installed sensors on Alarm.com’s Mobile Tech website (www.alarm.com/MobileTech)

without accessing the customer’s account or deducting from the customer’s monthly

upload quota. If possible, installers should also test night vision captures to ensure

sensor infrared flash is not reflecting off surfaces and washing out images.
