Duress alarm security events

NB to the system, and not a tremendous amount of experience with it all.
I have the system working fine for the past 2 years, getting texts for events.
I have been receiving a security event ever since the system was installed.
I get Subj: Security event: Duress alarm security event: with my location and time.
Its intermittent. Most times I get the event when entering the building, sometimes when I am entering.
Would this be a setting in my main panel, or a EYEZ-ON setting?
can anyone enlighten me about this please?
Thanks allot.

It would appear that the code you are using to unlock is the programmed duress code (which disables the panel while simultaneously sending a notification to the monitoring company that something is wrong - you are being forced 'under duress' to disable the premises alarm).

Resolution: set/use a different code to lock/unlock your panel.

Observation: if you've a monitoring service and the police aren't showing up each time you get this message, well, you've got another issue.
