How To Set-Up Your Alarm System via the App 

Step 1) Download the Cürv Smart app onto your phone. 230 curv smart Log In Sign Up Step 

2) Create an account and login to the app.

Step 3) Ensure your internet is running on a 2.4 GHz frequency and not a 5.0 GHz frequency. Smart Devices only work on 2.4 GHz internet frequencies. 

If you are not sure which internet frequency you have, please check with your Internet Provider. 

If you have a dual band router you can call your internet provider and ask them to split the bands for you.

 If your Internet is 5.0 GHz then the app set up will not be possible.

4) Once you have logged into the app, press the 'Add a New Device' button. 

5) Select the option within the list of devices named 'Alarm (Wi-Fi).

Step 6) Make sure that you are connected to a 2.4 GHz network as shown in the screenshot. 

Curv Smart Enter your Wi-Fi password into the Password field. 

Please note this section is case sensitive. 

Press the 'Next' button once you have entered your details. 

Step 7) Plug in the Main Control Panel for the Alarm System and switch the unit on at the back.

Step 8) Now that the Control Panel has power you need to disarm the control panel by typing the following into the control panel: 

Step 9) Now that the system is disarmed, you need to enter the menu by typing the following into the control panel: 

Step 10) To place the control panel into the pairing mode, press the button on the bottom right of the control panel. 

This button will put the control panel into an 'EZ Pairing Mode'. A countdown will begin from 150 seconds.

Step 11) Switch back to app and press the button which confirms the indicator on the control panel is rapidly blinking. Then press the next button.

Step 12) The app will enter a progress screen, allow the app time to find and connect to the alarm system. After a minute or so the Alarm should have connected to the app and you will be presented with the screen above. Press the 'Done' button and the initial set up is complete.

 If the set up was not successful, then please start the process again. After typing in your password and pressing the next button, in the top right of the screen will be an 'EZ Mode' button. Tap this button, select the AP mode set up. Follow the on-screen instructions. To put the panel into AP pairing mode, skip to step 9, follow the instructions and then when the screen displays 'AP MODE' press the 'Enter Button'.

The Main Controls 

The first page that you will load into when using the Alarm System are the main controls. At the top of the page you have the current state of the System, which for this example, is Disarmed. 

You can put the system into 1 of 3 states, which we will outline each option below. 

Home Mode - This mode will only arm/trigger sensors which are set to 'Normal Mode'. Any sensor which is set to 'Home Mode' will be ignored if the sensor were to activate. For example, if you had a PIR sensor on your upstairs landing, if someone from the house were to get up in the night and walk past this PIR sensor, the system would not trigger the alarm as this sensor was set to 'Home Mode'. 

Arm Mode - This mode will arm / trigger any sensor that is activated regardless of its type or setting. For example, you would set this mode when everyone has left the house. 

Disarmed Mode - This mode will ignore any activation of any sensor unless the sensor is set in the '24H Zone'. For example, you would use this mode when someone is at home. 

The Main Controls 

The small Pencil Icon on the top right of the page will take you to part of the settings for the Alarm System.

Press this button and scroll to the bottom of the page. Look for an option 'Check for Firmware Update'.

Select this option, if an update is available, accept it. If the unit is already up to date, then great you can skip this step. 

What's New Common Settings Page 

Navigate back to the main controls for the Alarm System and along the bottom ribbon select the 'Settings' option. 

The first option on this page is the Automated Arm/disarm. Here you can set a regular schedule for the system to automatically change its state. 

For example, if you were to leave and return to your home the same time every day, you can set the times within this option to have the system automatically arm/disarm.

Common Settings 

Page Next on the list is the Delay Time. Within these settings you can set the amount of time that the system gives you to exit / enter the building before the alarm activates. 

Curv Smart The arming delay timer is how much time you get to exit the building before the alarm sets itself into armed mode. 

The Alarm delay timer is how much time you get to disarm the system when you enter the building whilst the system is armed. 

To use the timers, the sensor closest to where you enter/exit will need to be set into the 'Delay Mode'. You can learn more about this later. 

The final setting to pay attention to is the Access Code. Enter the default admin code which is 1,2,3,4,5,6 and then press submit. Once you are into the settings, you can change the codes to your personal preference. 

Admin Code - This is the code you use to enter the access code options and the main menu on the control panel itself. 

User code - This is the code you use to arm/disarm the alarm via the control panel.

Accessories Page 

The accessories page is where you can control all the components linked to the system. Along the top you have the 'Detectors'. The detectors are classed as the PIR sensors and the Door/Window Contacts. 

By default, these are already paired to the system as Zones 1-6. We recommend going into each sensor and deleting it from the app using the Bin icon at the bottom of the sensor page. 

By doing this, you can re-add the detectors back into the system as and when you install them, naming them according to their locations. 

To add detectors onto the system, simply press the 'Add' button along the bottom and then trigger the detector, either by opening the door so the Door/Window contact activates or by waving Infront of the PIR detector to activate it.

Please note, that when a PIR sensor is triggered more than twice within 3 minutes, it will switch to a battery saving mode. If no movement is then detected within the next 3 minutes, the sensor will then switch itself back on. Also, along the top of the Accessories page are Remote Controls, RFID tags and Wired Detectors. Within these pages you can enable/disable and rename the Remote Control/RFID tags. Then within the system log you can see for example, Dave has disarmed the Alarm using their Remote Control.

 Detectors Settings 

Within each detector you can rename, remove, and change the settings of each sensor. To rename a sensor simply press the small pencil icon next the name, for example Zone-01 can be renamed to entrance. 

You can then change the sensor type, such as a PIR detector or Window / Door Contact. 

You can then also change the Zone Type of each detector. See below for a breakdown of each type. 

Normal Sensor - This sensor will operate as a normal sensor, going into an Arm mode when the system is armed and a disarmed mode when the system is disarmed. 

24H Mode - This type of sensor will be set to active 24/7 regardless of the state of the Alarm mode. For example, you could use this in an outhouse that no one goes in or out of regularly. 

Delay Mode - This type of sensor will give you a countdown when the system is armed/ disarmed. For example, set your Front Door contact as a Delay mode, will give you 5 seconds to leave the room before the system is armed and also give you 5 seconds to disarm the alarm before it is triggered upon your arrival. You can amend the time frame for each within the settings page as outlined earlier. 

Home Mode - This type of sensor mode will set the sensor to not activate the alarm when the system is armed in 'Home Mode. For example, if you had a PIR sensor on your upstairs landing, if someone from the house were to get up in the night and walk past this PIR sensor, the system would not trigger the alarm as this sensor was set to 'Home Mode'.
