The FAQ below were collated during the consultation and negotiation phase preceding the introduction of De Alarm range of security products to Nigeria. They helped to inform our knowledge on adapting the products for its effectiveness in Nigeria. The responses to these questions may redress any myths you may have about the application of such products.

 Why is it a better security option? It is the only security provision that would contact/call for desired help in dire situation. It adds hope of getting support in such helpless situation and also gives the user a degree of control over the situation in the event of an intended intrusion.

Comparatively, it has an independent mind so it would not compromise you which other options might be fallible to. The base of the system are sensors which are renowned to be always alert  sensors dont sleep. That explains the reason for their being the most popular option for personal and property security in the developed world. They are used to either independently secure or compliment other security provisions.

It is also reputed as the most effective deterrent. Once robbers are aware of its existence in your property, they would rather pick another softer target rather than risk being caught in the act.

What would happen in the event of an intrusion? Your household and neighbourhood might be alerted by the siren (optional). The system would also automatically call all the five programmed helplines.

How does it contact the helplines? The system has an in-built auto-dialler that would call up to five helplines on your behalf. Each helpline would be called in sequence 3 times. The logical reasoning for this provision is to ensure some of the lines are still accessible even when there is a network failure from service providers; a contact line is engaged or faulty.

Would/can you get me the desired response? Yes. However the quality of support would be dependent on your pre arrangement against such eventuality. The system automatically relays/states your pre-recorded message to the receiver of each call. Ideally, such helplines should be those of trusted relatives/friends. It could also include that of the local security control room, response unit or police. Linkage to such services incurs additional expenses.

What can the receiver of such calls do? The onus is on them to either directly give or summon for the required support. The system has an intercom facility that enables the receiver of the call to hear what is happening on the intruded premises. The receiver can also be able to openly talk to those on the intruded property. Such discussion may reveal the identity of the intruder/s.

What if the intruder knows you have such a system and try destroying it? The main controller of the system is compact and concealable. An intruder needs to first be able to gain access to the premises before being able to locate and destroy it. The system would have been activated even before an intruder can reach it. Alternatively you can remotely trigger ( activate) the system from any corner of your premises by pressing the panic button on your remote controller or using your mobile phone from any range worldwide.

What if the connecting telephone line is cut off? A tamper switch is in the main controller. The siren would still be activated if the system is tampered with.

What if there is a power cut? The main controller has an in-built self rechargeable battery that powers the system for up to 12 consecutive hours when fully charged. The battery starts recharging when electricity power supply is restored. The electrical consumption is <8W and the applicable voltage regulation is 220 -240.

What is the effect of interference on its performance from the operational frequency band of other wireless gadgets? The operational frequency band of De Alarm range of security products for the Nigerian market has been set at 315 Metz to eliminate interference from the operating waveband of any other wireless products applicable in Nigeria. De Alarms operating frequency would effectively interlink/interface its wireless accessories within a radius range of 100 metres apart.

Its remote controller has also been factory programmed to eliminate cross interference by various users of the same product.

What other safeguards may you need to know of? The system includes a crystal generator to safeguard it against damage from fluctuation on electrical power supply which is a common cause of damages to electrical appliances  

 What do you mean by multifunctional? It means the product is inclusive of features over and above expectations from a conventional intruder/security alarm. The main controller offers a variety of features to be benefited with the learning on of some optional accessories. Only one main controller is required on a property to which as many wireless sensors/accessories can be linked/learnt on within 100 metres of its location.

In addition to security, the system can be used for improving safety against fire or gas hazards. It can also be used for remote automation of your electrical appliances consuming /\1300 watts including lightings and split air-conditioners.

The system increases the wider usage of a mobile phone enabling the possibility of being alerted, the monitoring of ones secured property or control of the system from any range worldwide.
