    EMC Security completes all Dekalb County ordinance paperwork for our customers.  

    Details:

    Dekalb County Georgia has adopted a false alarm ordinance that requires every home or business within the Dekalb County limits to register their alarm systems with a third party contracting entity, CRYWOLF Corporation.

    The Dekalb false alarm ordinance requires Alarm Companies, including EMC Security to register their active monitored customers with CRYWOLF Corporation. This company has been contracted by Dekalb County to register alarms, collect fees, and to assess penalties for false alarms.

    EMC Security is required by the County to provide information about your home or business alarm system, including your name, address, phone numbers, and information regarding your alarm system.

    EMC Security is required to pay the annual registration fee that must be paid each year that the customer has an active security system.

    The annual alarm registration fee is $5.00 per year. However, there are many other costs and requirements in addition to the annual registration fee.

    1. All companies must register, with all complete information, and in a timely manner all existing and new alarm service customers in Unincorporated Dekalb County.
    2. All alarm companies are required to update any changes in their customer account with CRYWOLF within 30 days of the change.
    3. All alarm companies are required to appear at the location of the alarm system within 45 minutes from the alarm activation at the request of the responding police or fire department. There is a significant cost to staff and monitor for this requirement to appear.

    Significant fees, a minimum of $499.00 will be assessed to the alarm company for failure to arrive within the designated timeframe, or for failure to update customer account information.

    Significant fines will be assessed to alarm customers in Unincorporated Dekalb County after November 15, 2013 for the following:

    1. Failure to register an alarm system: $499.00 (registration is handled by EMC Security)
    2. For any second, third, or subsequent alarm in a one year period
    3. For failure to repair or replace any problem system

    $10 fee is required.

    Verification Required:

    Verify means visual or audible confirmation of an attempted or actual crime, fire, or other emergency at the alarm site by means of:

    1. Confirmation by the alarm user at the alarm site or via self-monitored audio/visual equipment.
    2. Confirmation by a private security guard or any other individual at the actual
    alarm site.
    3. Audible and/or visual evidence provided by a monitored alarm system.
    An alarm activation alone without verification WILL NOT be dispatched for a Law
    Enforcement response.

    Verification affects Law Enforcement response to residential burglar alarms only.
    Automatic response remains for fire, duress, panic button, hold-up, medical alarm
    activations and commercial burglar alarms.

    If the alarm is for smoke, fire or carbon monoxide, the verification process should be accomplished after the monitoring company has contacted Fannin County E911 to dispatch fire services.

    Alarm company must be able to provide verification, as defined in section 1, within
    24 hours of the request for dispatch to the Fannin County 911 Center if verification
    has been obtained by the Alarm company. If verification has NOT been obtained,
    Law Enforcement, MAY NOT be dispatched. Failure to provide verification within
    24 hours of the dispatching of Law Enforcement could result in the placement of the
    residence on a DO NOT RESPOND list. Verification information can be emailed to

    Three stacked bars (hamburger menu): Located at the top left, this menu allows for selecting your โ€œLocationโ€ if you have more than one security system. It allows quick navigation to other application features. It also allows a primary user to edit sub-users of the account through the Manage Account menu.

    EMC mobile app screen for security system

    Location  Name:   Located  just  right  of  the  hamburger  menu  is  the  name  of  the  security  system for which your app is currently showing status. Users that have a business or a vacation home can select from these locations via the hamburger menu.

    Pen  icon:   The Location name can be changed by clicking the Pen and editing the System name. This is used to create favorites on the app.

    Z  Wave  icon:   If  your  Connect+  panel  is  equipped  with  the  optional  Z  Wave  automation  card, this icon will allow you to perform device inclusion/exclusion functions. Please contact  your  dealer  or  refer  to  the  device  documentation  for speci๏ฌc processes, as they  vary among manufacturers.

    Bell (silent) icon: If your security panel is in a Trouble condition, clicking this icon will silence trouble  beeps.  Please  refer  to  the  section  on  Troubles  for  more  information.  This  icon applies only for the SECURITY feature.

    More menu (three stacked dots): This menu is also Feature speci๏ฌc and is used to provide access to Feature settings that are less commonly used. For example, in the SECURITY feature, this menu allows the application user to select whether to arm silently and/or to specify that the panel be armed to allow No Entry Delay. A No Entry Delay might be used for an Arm-Stay mode when everyone that would potentially disarm the system is already inside the business/home (no one else is expected).


    5. FEATURES MENU

    The feature Menu content will vary depending on whether your security system has an automation option card installed. The primary feature of the Alula application is SECURITY. If you do have an optional automation card installed the menu will include: SECURITY, LOCKS, LIGHTS, GARAGE DOORS, THERMOSTATS, & SCENES.

    SECURITY FEATURE

    In the Feature Menu, you will notice that SECURITY is bold and underlined.  If itโ€™s not, please press it now. The state of your security panel is shown in bold text directly at top center. If the security system is Disarmed, three arming icons are shown in the middle of the screen to allow one click access to arm your security panel.

    EMC mobile app screen for security system
    ALARM STAY

    In the Feature Menu, you will notice that SECURITY is bold and underlined.  If itโ€™s not, please press it now. The state of your security panel is shown in bold text directly at top center. If the security system is Disarmed, three arming icons are shown in the middle of the screen to allow one click access to arm your security panel.

    EMC mobile app screen for security system
    ALARM AWAY

    Arming your system for Away is used when the secured home or building is expected to be unoccupied. All exterior sensors and interior motion detectors are active once the system enters Away mode.

    ALARM NIGHT

    Arming your system for Night is used when the secured home or building is expected to be occupied, but speci๏ฌc areas within the home or building are not expected to be used. All exterior sensors are active and typically some interior motion detectors are active when the system is armed to Night mode. An example of this may be a motion sensor in an attached garage or unoccupied basement.

    DISARM 

    Disarming your system through the application is con๏ฌgured to require a valid user PIN by default. Enter  your PIN and press SEND to disarm the system.  Through the SECURITY settings (detailed below) the application can be con๏ฌgured to not require a PIN. 

    Please ensure that your mobile device has a security code or other security feature of its own so that an  unknown user of your mobile cannot compromise  your home or businesses security panel.  

    EMC mobile app screen for security system

    SECURITY FEATURE CONTEXT MENU 

    STATUS 

    Press  the  Status  icon  to  return  to  the  Arming  /  Disarming screen of the application.  The Status  screen is the default starting point within the app. This screen was shown as the Main Dashboard above.

    ZONES AND BYPASSING 

    Press the Zones icon to see all your security sensors and their zone names. On this screen you can see all active zones, and can bypass zones to allow arming with zones open. An active zone sensor will be included in the protection algorithm where a bypassed zone sensor will not. An example would be to bypass a window zone to allow it to remain open on a hot night while allowing the system to arm.

    Each user of the security system must be granted (or denied) bypass rights to allow that user to bypass a zone. Refer to the section on User and Account Management for additional details.

    EVENTS 

    The Events screen shows system activity and the system user that initiated each event. 

    TROUBLES 

    The Troubles screen shows any problems that are present with your security system.  Examples include; loss of AC power, temper conditions on the sensors, low battery on a sensor

    6. SETTINGS

    The Settings screen allows you to change and con๏ฌgure app and security system features and settings.

    Require PIN to disarm:  This setting is on by default. When on, the mobile device user must enter a valid security system PIN and press โ€œSENDโ€ to disarm the system. When off, the application presents a single button to disarm the security system. In this case, you must ensure the security of your phone.

    Reset  Connect+  Panel:   Allows  the  application  to  initiate
    a  soft  reset of the panel remotely

    Reset ZWave Module: Allows the application to reset the Z Wave automation module if it is installed in your Connect+.

    Physical location: The application can inform the panel where it is located. This information is used by the panel to calculate sunrise and sunset times for automation events.


    7. LOCKS, LIGHTS, GARAGE DOORS, & THERMOSTATS

    If  your  security  system  includes  an  optional  automation  card, these device categories are enabled on your system.  These device categories allow you to quickly select and  manually operate your automation devices attached to your system.

    SCENES FEATURE

    The Scenes Feature is available if your panel includes an optional automation card. Scene control is a very powerful feature of the security system. Please review and test carefully each scene you con๏ฌgure.

    Scenes allow a type of when-what control to be automatically executed by the security system. When any of a set of โ€œTriggersโ€ occurs, the system executes What โ€œActions.โ€ It is important to repeat that any trigger con๏ฌgured within a scene will cause the con๏ฌgured Actions to be executed.

    CREATE/EDIT A NEW SCENE 

    Press the SCENES title in the Feature Menu. To edit an existing scene, click its title in the list of scenes shown.
    To create a new scene (example: Auto Arm Away at 9am):

    .2. Enter a name for your new scene โ€“ โ€œAuto Arm 9amโ€ for example.

    5. Triggers are the  โ€œwhenโ€ of a  scene. If any trigger is true, thenthe sceneโ€™s actions will be executed.  Triggers can be  grouped as:

    a. Security Triggers

    b. Time/Date Triggers

    c. Automation Device Triggers

    6. Some triggers requirecon๏ฌguration โ€“ For example,select โ€œOnce a Dayโ€and con๏ฌgure the time to 9am.6. Some triggers requirecon๏ฌguration โ€“ For example,select โ€œOnce a Dayโ€and con๏ฌgure the time to 9am.

    7. Actions are the โ€œwhatโ€ of a scene.  Actions can be grouped as

    a. Security Actions

    8. For our example, tap the โ€œ+โ€ in the Actions section and select โ€œArm or Disarm the Systemโ€

    a. Con๏ฌgure the Action to โ€œArm Awayโ€

    9. Letโ€™s say you have some Z Wave lights you want to turn off as well

    a. Click the โ€+โ€ and add any additional Actions (Z Wave All Off might be a good one)

    10. Remember to click the toggle to โ€œActivateโ€ your new scene.
