Configuring Telus Home Security involves several steps, from setting up the hardware to configuring the software. Here's a detailed guide to help you through the process:

1. Unbox and Identify Components

  • Control Panel: The main hub for your security system.

  • Sensors: Door/window sensors, motion detectors, and possibly glass break sensors.

  • Cameras: Indoor/outdoor security cameras.

  • Accessories: Key fobs, additional keypads, etc.

2. Choose Locations for Sensors and Cameras

  • Control Panel: Place it in a central, accessible location near the main entrance.

  • Door/Window Sensors: Install on all entry points (doors and windows).

  • Motion Detectors: Position in high-traffic areas, facing away from windows to avoid false alarms.

  • Cameras: Place to cover main entry points, driveway, and other critical areas.

3. Install the Hardware

  • Control Panel: Mount on the wall or place on a flat surface. Plug it into a power outlet.

  • Sensors: Attach using the provided adhesive strips or screws. Ensure proper alignment of parts.

  • Cameras: Mount securely and connect to a power source (if wired).

4. Power Up and Connect Devices

  • Power on the control panel and all connected devices.

  • Follow the on-screen instructions to begin the initial setup.

5. Connect to Wi-Fi

  • Use the control panel or a mobile app to connect the system to your home Wi-Fi network.

  • Ensure a strong, stable Wi-Fi connection for optimal performance.

6. Configure the System Using the Telus SmartHome App

  • Download the App: Available on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.

  • Create an Account: Follow the prompts to create a Telus SmartHome account.

  • Add Devices: Use the app to add each sensor, camera, and accessory to your system.

  • Follow the in-app instructions for pairing each device.

  • Name each device for easy identification (e.g., "Front Door Sensor").

7. Set Up Monitoring and Notifications

  • Monitoring Services: If you have a monitoring plan, ensure it's activated.

  • Notifications: Customize push notifications, emails, or SMS alerts for different events (e.g., door opened, motion detected).

8. Test the System

  • Test each component to ensure they're working correctly.

  • Open/close doors and windows to check sensors.

  • Walk past motion detectors to test their range.

  • Check camera feeds and adjust angles if necessary.

  • Use the control panel and app to arm and disarm the system.
