This might not be the place for this but I feel like someone here should know.

I moved into a new house recently and there's a whole security system, infrared scanners, alarms on all the doors and windows, glass break detectors everywhere. When we open a door or window there's a little chirp so something is working, but I'm curious if anyone knows if I can rewire this somehow or get a new panel so that I can actually set an alarm and stuff.

Is there any brand or specific product name present? It's probably some button combination to enter the configuration menu

I haven't seen a single brand name on any of the equipment which has made figuring it out that much harder

I threw it into a reverse image search and I do have to agree with the other two. It does look to be in a ademco keypad. I had a lot of hits on Ademco 6139
