Wireless intruder security solution launched by Dahua Technology

Posted to Products on Friday, January 12, 2024 Share:

A MODULAR and wireless integrated security system introduced by Dahua Technology is set to transform intruder detection and security management for SMEs. The EN50131 Grade 2 and PD6662:2017 compliant AirShield wireless security system uses advanced, stable and reliable RF communication technology and cloud services to provide a flexible, user-friendly and affordable solution for end users, installers and security companies.

At the heart of AirShield is a smart hub which supports up to 150 devices, including PIR detectors, PIR cameras, dual-tech detectors with PIR and microwave technologies, keypads and key fobs, panic buttons, door and window detectors, water leak detectors, smoke detectors and sirens. The wireless indoor monitor with touchscreen can be used as an alarm keypad.

AirShield features Airfly 3.0, which delivers frequency hopping for optimum long-range, two-way wireless connectivity and AES128 encryption, RF-HD for faster image transmission and higher image resolution and Dahua’s cloud services for more convenient and efficient alarm monitoring and system health.

Being fully wireless renders AirShield quick and easy to install and avoids the damage to décor and the fabric of a building that can be realised by cabling. It also makes it quick and simple to add or move devices.

Flexible operation

Although powerful as a standalone or connected system, Dahua’s door entry and video surveillance products extend features still further. Thanks to an indoor monitor, end users can arm and disarm the alarm system in addition to receiving alarm events and verifying alarm-triggered video and images.

They can also configure various rules for alarm to video integration, manage siren alarms and arm/disarm the alarm system connected to an NVR. Alarms, CCTV and detectors can all be managed easily via the indoor monitor and/or a single and intuitive mobile phone app.

The alarm hub can connect to an NVR/XVR and indoor monitor via network protocols, providing more functions and a better user experience. All events are managed on the converter such that Alarm Receiving Centre staff can configure event forwarding methods (TCP/IP or serial), protocols and event types as needed, while the platform software only needs to receive, record and process these events. For their part, system installers can provide their customers with a device health management service, while users can request monitoring services from selected Alarm Receiving Centres.

Remote management

Through mobile apps and Internet-connected PCs, end users, installers and security companies can remotely manage the alarm system and receive alarm events – anytime and anywhere.

An additional converter app forwards events received from hubs to the platform software used by an Alarm Receiving Centre, based on standard protocols such as SIA DC-09, Sur-Gard or the private protocol of the platform software itself. It receives events from hubs through two channels: auto registration and cloud forwarding (TCP/IP and serial port), thereby ensuring event information is delivered reliably at all times.

Commenting on the launch of AirShield, Michael Lawrence (marketing director at Dahua UK and Ireland) observed: “We’re thrilled to launch AirShield to the UK and Irish markets. This flexible and customisable security solution brings cost-effective remote monitoring to a wider range of commercial end users, while providing installers and Alarm Receiving Centres with potential additional revenue streams. The tight integration with Dahua’s video surveillance and door entry range extends available benefits even further.”
