2022-05-03Last updated
Before you can enroll BEST Wi-Q locks in Security Center, you must configure the Over-Watch plugin for
Mercury LP4502 controllers.
What you should know
All LP4502 controllers under the same Synergis™ Cloud Link unit
must be configured with the same Over-Watch username, password, and listening port.
If you want to move a Mercury LP4502 unit that is used in a BEST Wi-Q integration from
one Synergis Cloud Link to another, the Over-Watch plugin must be
enabled on the target Synergis Cloud Link before moving the
unit.
