# Setup Instructions (Video Alarm Tablet)

Please ensure the following items are included in the Video Alarm Tablet box shipped to you:

* **Video Alarm Tablet**
* **Wireless access device**
* **Tablet case**
* **Wall mount (includes wall anchors, screws and mounting instructions)**
* **10ft power cable and wall plug**

Follow the steps below to set up the Video Alarm Tablet from start to finish.

## Technician Mount + Power Connection to Tablet

Solink will arrange for a technician to mount the tablet and ensure it is connected to a reliable power source.

## Create Tablet PIN in Solink

As an [Admin User](/docs/fix-a-problem/frequently-asked-questions-faqs.md#what-are-the-differences-between-admin-and-standard-users), navigate to **Alarms** > **Configure** tab > **Setup Arm / Disarm PIN** within Solink.

**Note**: If you are currently using Phone Arm / Disarm, select **Edit** > **Set up with Tablet** to set up a PIN for the tablet. Otherwise, select the **Setup Arm / Disarm PIN** button.

To set up a PIN:

1. Select the **Set Up Arm / Disarm PIN** button:

2. Toggle the **Set up with Tablet** option to set up a PIN specifically for the Solink Alarm Tablet:

5\. Create a 4-digit **Phone Number Security Code**. This code protects the tablet from receiving spam calls. When the user calls the tablet phone number, they must also type the security code to connect.

6\. Configure the amount of seconds for **Arm / Disarm Countdown** (the amount of time you have to enter the PIN to disarm/arm before an alarm is created).

7\. Select **Save**.

8\. Select **+ Add New PIN**.

9\. Type a **Name** for the PIN and type the **4 digit PIN** code you want to create.

10\. Select what happens when the user enters the PIN to disarm the alarm system (either disarm the system until the next scheduled alarm period OR disarm for a set period of time, in minutes)

11\. Select **Save** to apply the changes and create the new PIN.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://help.solink.com/docs/protect-your-locations-with-alarms/video-alarm-tablet/setup-instructions-video-alarm-tablet.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
