Guide On How To Add or Change a Duress Code Remotely


You're in a meeting and need to change the duress code for your security system, but you're nowhere near the control panel. Panic sets in as you realize that you're unable to make the change. But, hold on! With MyAlarmCenter's remote access capabilities, you can easily add or change your duress code from anywhere in the world, at any time.


Here's how:


1. Log in to your MyAlarmCenter account.

The first step is to log in to your MyAlarmCenter account through the mobile app or web portal. If you don't have an account, you can sign up for one by visiting the MyAlarmCenter website.


2. Navigate to the Duress Code section.

Once you're logged in, navigate to the Duress Code section of your account. This section is usually located under the "Settings" or "Users" tab.


3. Add or change the code.

In the Duress Code section, you can either add a new code or change an existing one. Simply enter the code you want to use and save the changes.


4. Test the code.

It's important to test the new or changed duress code to ensure that it works properly. Try entering the code at your control panel or using the remote access feature in the app or web portal.


Important:

• A duress code is a secret code that you can use to silently notify your security provider that you are in danger and need assistance.

• Never share your duress code with anyone, as it is meant to be used in emergency situations only.

• If you forget your duress code, you can contact MyAlarmCenter customer support to reset it.


With MyAlarmCenter's remote access capabilities, you can easily add or change your duress code from anywhere, at any time. Whether you're at the office, on a trip, or just busy with your day, you can have peace of mind knowing that your security system is always up to date and secure. So why wait? Start taking control of your security today!
