Why Your Home Alarm Should Have More Than One User Code

When it comes to keeping your home or business safe, every little detail counts — and one of the most overlooked security features is multiple user codes for your alarm system. At Lowkey Security, Auckland’s trusted alarm installation and monitoring specialists, we often remind our customers that having just one code for everyone is not only inconvenient but can also make it harder to track who’s coming and going.

What Are User Codes?

User codes are the unique PINs or access codes used to arm and disarm your alarm system. Most modern alarm systems — from Hikvision, Paradox, DSC, to Bosch — allow you to set up multiple codes. Each code can be assigned to a specific family member, flatmate, employee, or even a cleaner or tradesperson.

Why You Should Use Multiple Alarm Codes

Using more than one user code is about more than just convenience. Here’s why it’s a smart security move:

1. Track Who’s Using the Alarm

When each person has their own code, you can easily see who disarmed or armed the system and when. This is especially helpful for:

Families with teenagers coming and going at different times
Shared homes or Airbnbs
Small businesses with multiple staff

2. Improve Accountability

If something goes missing or there’s an incident, having separate user codes helps you identify exactly who accessed the property. It’s a simple but effective layer of accountability.

3. Easily Remove or Change Access

If a staff member leaves, or you stop using a cleaner, you can simply delete or change their individual code — without affecting everyone else’s access.

4. Better Security Control

Using one shared code means that anyone who learns it — intentionally or not — can access your system. With multiple user codes, you reduce that risk and maintain tighter control over who can enter your property.

How to Set Up Multiple Alarm Codes

If your alarm was installed by Lowkey Security, our technicians can help you add, edit, or delete user codes in minutes. We also provide remote support and training so you can manage codes yourself via your keypad or mobile app.
