Site Settings

Panic Button Notifications only

Site Managers can select this option to only be notified of Panic Button incidents and any subsequent events related to those incidents. Other site notifications will be turned off for that Site Manager. This setting only applies to this site for the Site Manager who enables it; not all sites and not all Site Managers.

If Monitoring is enabled, the Site Manager will still receive Panic Button notifications


Automatically Request Guard

From the SMB app, the Site Manager can set up a guard to be automatically requested after a chosen period of time. This safeguard ensures the site is in good hands, even if you miss the alarm notification.

More about automatic guarding.


Automatic Arming

The Automatic Arming feature enables a Site Manager to set one time each day when their site will be armed. A different time can be set for each day of the week.

Arming Mode: Each Area's 'Default Arming Mode' affects how it is armed via Automatic Arming. If an Area's 'Default Arming Mode' is set to 'Fail to Arm', it will fail to automatically arm if it has any open (active) Inputs. This is configured by the Installer.

  1. Click the toggle to enable Automatic Arming.

    This will display the days of the week. The default configuration is set to arm the site at 6 p.m. Monday-Friday.

  2. To change the arming time for a day, tap the time. This will open an interface where the hour, minutes, and a.m. and p.m. can be set. Once set, select OK.

  3. Set the desired time for each day of the week you want the site to be armed. Enable or disable the toggle by each day of the week as needed.

  4. Click SAVE.

    The times you selected are displayed underneath the 'Automatic Arming' toggle.


Late to Arm Notifications

The Late to Arm feature enables a Site Manager to set a notification time and receive a reminder if their site is not armed. At the set time, the system will check if the site is armed, and send the Site Manager a notification through the Gallagher SMB app if it is not. A different time can be set for each day of the week.

  1. Click the toggle to enable Late to Arm Notifications.

    This will display the days of the week. The default configuration is set to notify Site Managers at 6 p.m. Monday-Friday when their site is not armed.

  2. To change the notification time for a day, tap the time. This will open an interface where the hour, minutes, and a.m. and p.m. can be set. Once set, select OK.

  3. Set the desired time for each day of the week you want to be notified. Enable or disable the toggle by each day of the week as needed.

  4. Click SAVE.

    A pop-up shows when the next check will be done. The times you selected are displayed underneath the 'Late to Arm Notification' toggle.

When you get a Late to Arm notification, simply click on the notification to open the app and then arm your site as usual.
