Zone Scheduleproperty.You may use a schedule to automatically arm a system as the only arming/disarming method or in conjunction with a keypad. (The last one to arm or disarm wins.) - Define a
Time DelayandWarning Time.The time delay allows personnel to exit the zone after arming, as well as an alarm delay for disabling the zone when entering it.You configure these times in the Supervisor intrusion zone.

- Enable one escalation level in the Supervisor intrusion zone.Intrusion zones can employ up to three levels of alarm escalation. Use this feature to notify up to three people if alarms go unacknowledged. You may also use this feature to give an operator a chance to acknowledge and clear an alarm before notifying an off-site monitoring company.
- Define other properties and click the Save button at the top of the view.The system creates or updates the intrusion zone record in the database of the local station. The Niagara Enterprise Security Reference document explains each intrusion zone property.
