HOW TO USE YOUR SYSTEM
Home Monitoring Modes
What are Modes?
Modes let you manage the behaviour of your Home Monitoring devices and can be accessed on your Wyze Keypad or in the Home Monitoring tab in-app
DISARMED MODE
Disarmed Mode will only allow cameras to be on duty and will not trigger an
alarm.
HOME MODE
Home Mode will monitor your home ’s perimeter through sensors on your doors & windows. This mode is best for when you will stay inside your home with minimal movement. In this mode, you want to prevent choosing sensors that would be easily triggered while inside your house.
