1. A method comprising:
- a control panel of a security system transmitting a first beacon through a wireless access point located within a secured area, wherein the security system includes a plurality of wireless sensors to detect threats within the secured area;
providing a portable wireless setup device in a first geographic location proximate the wireless access point;
the portable wireless setup device reading at least a unique identifier of the control panel from the first beacon received through the wireless access point;
relocating the portable wireless setup device to a second geographic location proximate a first one of the plurality of wireless sensors and activating the first one of the plurality of wireless sensors;
the first one of the plurality of wireless sensors receiving the unique identifier of the control panel from the portable wireless setup device; and
the first one of the plurality of wireless sensors automatically registering with the control panel through the wireless access point based upon the unique identifier of the control panel received from the portable wireless setup device.
