Triggered PhoneWatch alarm... how quick is it reported?

    I am house-sitting for someone with phonewatch.

    I came in the door and accidentally triggered the alarm (i.e. got the code wrong) and I think the alarm triggered very briefly before I re-entered the correct code.

    The voice said "Report Cancelled" which I'm hoping means the keyholder / householder wasn't woken up with a call (!)

    Is there a few seconds grace period with phonewatch before the process is triggered?

    Should be 20 seconds. With an alarm abort sent after that.
    Not worth worrying about they would call the house number first.

    Report cancelled means the system had been unset and did not report the entry fault.
