Select this mode when the house will be unoccupied. This mode will arm all intrusion sensors, including any motion sensors. Large pets that are free to roam the home while you are gone could trigger the alarm system in away mode! The motion sensors are designed to overlook movement from pets that are smaller than 40 lbs.
