Is it normal to have a security panel with a plug on it?
In my house I have 2 security panels, one is normal and in the hall, the other is in my bedroom, has a plug attached to it that powers it (I can tell because I leave it unplugged and the power stays off) and when plugged in has the Tamper, Unset and Power lights all on. I've only moved in recently and I've only ever plugged it in for like 3 seconds because I didn't want alarms going off.
