Configure Doors as Alarm Triggers
Configure and manage access control doors as triggers in New Alarms
To use access control doors as triggers, they must be in the same site as the alarm system and equipped with door position indicators (DPIs).
The Access controller and the BP52 alarms panel will communicate locally if used in conjunction with each other. See Cross-Device Local Connections for Access Control for more information.
