I'm no expert on the regs but it is my understanding also that a fob is required to disarm the alarm.

Why?, well certainly not for security purposes, it is to minmise false alarms and therefore callouts. So all in the intrests of the call centers or police, not the homeowner or insurance companies. Or am I being cinical?

If we have a keyfob where are we going to put it? On our key ring with the house keys, so steal these and you have free access to the property, stupid.

I would have much rather seen biometric's used. Can't forget your fingers also means that you have the facility of using duress options and silent call etc.

The text you have quoted seems to relate to the arming of the system not the disarming?
