Is there an automatic lockout when using Mobile link?

[Dixit]

What Im asking here, (just thought about this) lets say my phone isn't PIN or password protected, just a slide to unlock. Lets say I have the Mobile link bookmarked. Now the link is special for me so it always takes me straight to my setup and no login needed.

Now lets say someone steals my phone before I know it. They slide to unlock. They open the alarm link. Can they sit here and try 1000 times the different unlock codes till it dis-arms the house? Or is there a lockout period after say 3 failures or something?

There is a delay introduced at the server end if there are multiple disarm commands within a certain window.

If someone steals your phone you should disable the mobile link, or recreate it, as then the existing link will be defunct.

So there is a fail safe at the server level correct?

I understand the 2nd part of your statement is the best option, but lets be honest and realistic, at times it can easily take someone say 3-12hrs just to notice their phone was stolen. In that time lets say someone took it wanted to disarm the house, they could easily run through 100s if not 1000s of code attempts till they got it unlocked and possibly returned the phone back before the original person even knew it was missing.

Just wanted to understand and make sure there is a fail safe in that say the server wont allow say 10 unlock attempts to happen say in 1-5mins.

That's not possible, even without an Envisalink. Keypad lockout will kick in even before you got to 10 attempts.
