What mode turns on all exterior protection devices only, while still allowing exit and entrance delay times?

The mode that activates all exterior protection devices while allowing for exit and entrance delay times is commonly known as Stay mode. In this configuration, the system is set to protect the perimeter of the property without triggering alarms for individuals moving within the interior. This is particularly useful for scenarios where people are inside the premises and want to allow for normal movements without false alarms.

Stay mode typically enables the exterior sensors (like door/window contacts and motion sensors) to be fully operational, ensuring that any unauthorized entry is detected and reported. However, it recognizes that the occupants are home, thus allowing for those necessary delays as they leave or enter, which is essential during transitional moments when doors are opened and closed.

Other modes such as Away, Sleep, and Home modes have different functionalities tailored for various security needs but do not offer precisely the same balance of securing the perimeter while accommodating movement inside. Away mode generally activates all sensors and is meant for when occupants are not present; Sleep mode often has reduced protections for interior sensors, and Home mode usually protects the entire area but may have different operational characteristics.
