Telus typically provides detailed instructions or professional assistance to guide you through the process. Here's a general overview:
Set Up Your Account: If you haven't already, you need to set up an account with Telus Home Security. This usually involves providing some personal information and creating login credentials.
Install the Equipment: Depending on the package you've chosen, you'll have different equipment such as door/window sensors, motion detectors, control panel, cameras, etc. Follow the provided instructions to install each device. Usually, these are wireless devices and can be installed without drilling holes or extensive wiring.
Connect the Control Panel: The control panel is the central hub of your home security system. It communicates with all the sensors and devices. Follow the instructions to connect it to power and the internet (usually through Wi-Fi or Ethernet cable).
Activate Sensors and Devices: Once everything is installed, you'll need to activate each sensor and device. This often involves entering a code or pressing a button on each device to sync it with the control panel.
Configure Settings: Log in to your Telus Home Security account (either through a web portal or a mobile app) to configure your settings. You can set up things like:
Arming and Disarming: Set up different modes for arming and disarming your system (e.g., Home, Away, Night).
Notifications: Configure when and how you want to receive notifications (e.g., via text message, email).
Camera Settings: If you have security cameras, set up recording schedules, motion detection sensitivity, etc.
Emergency Contacts: Add emergency contacts who will be notified in case of an alarm.
Test Your System: It's crucial to test your system to ensure everything is working correctly. Test each sensor and device to make sure they're communicating with the control panel and triggering alarms properly.
Professional Monitoring (Optional): Telus offers professional monitoring services. If you've subscribed to this service, make sure it's properly set up and activated.
Familiarize Yourself: Make sure everyone in your household knows how to operate the system. Teach them how to arm and disarm it, and what to do in case of an emergency.
Regular Maintenance: Periodically check your system to ensure everything is functioning correctly. Replace batteries in sensors if needed and update any settings as necessary.
