What is "Doorbell" Mode on the OSI Alarm System?

1 min. readlast update: 10.17.2023

Doorbell mode is the setting you use when you want the Door / Window Sensor to act as a doorbell, so it would make a doorbell sound whenever the door is opened. This feature is great for businesses where you want a pleasant doorbell sound whenever  a customer walks in. This is especially useful if you are running a small business such as a convenient store and an employee is working alone,where he or she may be in the back room or stocking behind shelves and cannot see the entrance.  This may also be a great feature for parents who want if their child has opened the door.

In order to use this feature open the SMART HOME app and open the ALARM

  • Navigate to Accessories
  • Select "Detector" ( the sensor you want to chance)
  • Select "Zone Attribute"
  • Select "Doorbell" and press SAVE.

Please note that a door sensor or pir motion sensor can only be used as either a alarm sensor or doorbell, not as both.
