 Vera gives you a powerful home security system. You receive alerts instantly via SMS, Email or telephone calls. You can view your home's surveillance cameras, both live as well as an archive from the past, including the moment when the sensor was tripped, so you can call the police if there is a real security break-in. And you can remotely arm/disarm your alarm and open doors. This uses FindVera.com's secure server, which uses the same protection used for on-line banking, so you don't need to worry about unauthorized people getting in to disarm your alarm or view your cameras.

-.  You probably want to arm the sensors when you leave the house and disarm them when you return home so that you are not notified when the sensors are tripped while you are home.  So go to the [[Scenes|Scenes]] tab and create a scene called something like "Leave Home" or "Arm System".  Under that scene go to all the sensors and choose "ARM" from the first pull-down.  You can also set the lights and thermostat to "OFF" if you want them to turn off when you leave the house.  Next, create a scene called something like "Return Home" or "Disarm system" that changes the sensors back to "BYPASS" and puts the lights and thermostat back to your preferred setting when you come home.
+. Follow the [[Quick Start|Quick Start Guide]] to get Vera up on running.
-.  Under the [[Automation|Automation]] tab click "Add Event", type a description like "Security Breach", and under Event Type choose "An armed sensor is tripped".  Give it a name and select YES from the "Tripped" option. Then check off the sensors which, when tripped should trigger the alarm, and check off which users should be notified of the event.  Be sure you listed the users and their contact information (SMS, Email, etc.) on the [[Users|Users]] tab.  Because the event is "An '''''armed''''' sensor is tripped", and the scene you just created arms the sensors when you choose the "Leave Home" scene and puts them on bypass when you choose "Return Home", that means every time you leave home you should remember to choose the "Leave Home" scene to arm the sensors, just like you arm your alarm when you leave home.  Otherwise you won't get alerts when the sensors are tripped.  And, when you return home, choose "Return Home" to bypass the sensors so you're not receiving alerts when the sensors are tripped because you're at home.
+. On the [[Devices|Devices]] tab click the '+' sign next to the camera(s). For each camera indicate which sensors the camera is close to, what lights to turn on when viewing the camera, and how to archive the video.
-.  You can also create a scene something like "Go to sleep" or "Armed at home" which arms some sensors and bypasses others.  For example, while you're in the home you may want the motion detectors on "BYPASS" and the door/window sensors "ARMED" so that you can walk around the home without triggering an alarm, but a burglar trying to break in through a door or window will trip the alarm.
