Hey everyone, I’m reaching out to get some insights into optimizing my home security system. I recently upgraded to a 2GIG security system, and while it’s been working flawlessly, I’m curious about fine-tuning the entry delay feature for better protection.
Currently, my setup includes a 2GIG master control panel in my bedroom and a TS1 sensor near two entry points. The entry delay is set to 30 seconds, which seems to be the minimum value available. While this works, I’m wondering if there’s a way to reduce it further, say to 15 seconds. My reasoning is that my house is relatively small, and a shorter delay could potentially deter intruders more effectively before they cause significant damage.
I realize that the system will still trigger alerts and notify the authorities, but I’m thinking that the loud alarm sound itself might be a stronger deterrent than the softer entry delay tone. If reducing the delay isn’t possible, I’m curious if there’s an option to change the entry delay sound to match the full alarm tone. As a backup, I could also consider adding an additional siren that doesn’t trigger alerts but adds an extra layer of auditory deterrence.
If anyone has experience with tweaking entry delays or knows of creative solutions to enhance the system’s effectiveness, I’d love to hear your thoughts! Let’s collaborate to make our homes even safer.
