One of the most common questions we receive from customers is, “How do I check the alarm history to see what alarm has been activated?” This is a very simple process that anyone with access to their LCD keypad is able to do.
Why Do I Need to Check My Alarm History?
If you have an LCD full message keypad as part of your DSC Power Series Neo Security Alarm Monitoring System, you can utilize the event buffer to check your alarm history, see what alarm happened, or to check when your system was armed and disarmed.
