X-Guard man-down system
In the event of an emergency, it is vital that you receive help. X-Guard offers an innovative man-down system for this. Movement is monitored using the Risk button in the X-Guard Alarm app: only in places and times when security is required. If insufficient movement is detected for the set time, the phone will automatically send an alarm. In addition, the app automatically sends an alarm when the mobile phone breaks down or no longer has a connection.
Only where necessary
X-Guard only sends an automatic man-down alarm call where necessary.
We can ensure that your man-down protection (the Risk button) is automatically activated at locations and times where and when you are not allowed to work alone: all you have to do is carry the Alarm app with you - we will do the rest. False alarms are also prevented by this method of automatic man-down. We think it is important that our solution offers comfort as well as safety.
Automatic switching
You can also determine and activate yourself where you need (extra) security. You can do this using the "Automatic switching" function in the Alarm app. By adding certain addresses to the app, you can indicate per address whether your “Own security” in the app should be ''Off'', ''On'' or 'Risk''. The moment you approach and leave the added address, the app will automatically switch to the correct mode.
How does the Risk button work?
When the personal security is set to “Risk”, the app activates the mobile phone’s motion sensor . This acts as a type of pedometer. If there has been insufficient movement for two minutes, the app automatically triggers a pre-alarm for 30 seconds. A notification appears on the screen, and the device starts vibrating and beeping. The pre-alarm is canceled by briefly moving the device. If the pre-alarm is not canceled in time, an alarm call is automatically sent.
The countdown time to the pre-alarm is two minutes by default. The countdown time can be adjusted if desired.
Pause mode
The Risk Button has a pause mode. It is advisable to activate this pause mode when the phone is placed down, for example during breaks or a toilet visit. This prevents false alarms, as the app will not send an alarm call while in pause mode. The Risk Button is automatically activated when the pause time has expired. The Risk Button also has an automatic pause mode. When the phone is placed on a flat surface , the risk mode automatically switches to a one-hour pause mode. The risk mode is re-enabled when motion is detected or when the pause time has expired.
The pause time is set to one hour by default and can be adjusted in the settings menu.
Press ''Off'' or “On” twice if the Risk button should be disabled.
Technical information
The Risk button can switch automatically based on an address and/or X-Guard Beacon. This means that when approaching the address or entering a room where an X-Guard Beacon is located, “Own security” is set to “Risk”. When leaving the address or zone, “Own security” is set to “On” or “Off”. Read more about Automatic switching via the button below:
