Is there an exit delay when arming from the website or app?

The exit delay is a setting that allows users time to leave the premises after arming the system. When arming the system from the Alarm.com customer website or Alarm.com app, only some panels have an exit delay. 

If compatible with having an exit delay when arming remotely, it follows the same delay as the panel, which is generally between 30 to 240 seconds unless otherwise noted. For more information about changing the panel's delay settings, see Change the alarm delay settings using the Customer app
