Own security
Everyone, Everywhere, Safe – that is the mission of X-Guard. We therefore believe it is important that you are protected when you need security. Raising an alarm via the X-Guard Alarm app is very simple. You can easily send an alarm via the app or via a Bluetooth alarm button.
On the home screen of the X-Guard Alarm app you will see ''Custom security'' with three buttons underneath (''On, ''Off'' and ''Risk''). Your own security serves to protect yourself. When you set the ''Own security'' to ''On'', you can send an alarm via the app or - if you have linked an alarm button - via your Bluetooth Alarm button. Read more about the Bluetooth Alarm Button via the buttons at the bottom of this page.
Off, On, or Risk button
- Button on "Uit”: the app is on standby “in the background” to send an emergency call. The app then does not consume any battery.
When you receive a package'per person" you can always send an alarm – even when the button is set to “Off”.
When you receive a package "per hour" you cannot send an alarm when the app is "Off": it is important to turn the app "Off" when you do not need security. - Button up "At": When you set the button to ''On'', your location is known and it is sent when making an emergency call. Your smartphone also consumes data and battery (normal consumption). If you have a packer”per hourr”, you must always set the app to “On” to send an alarm.
- Button up “Risk” (man-down): When you find yourself in an (extra) risky situation, it is wise to set the button to Risk. When the Personal security is set to ''Risk'', the app activates the motion sensor of the mobile phone. When the Personal security is set to ''Risk'', your smartphone will consume a lot of battery. Your smartphone is constantly monitoring movement. X-Guard therefore advises to only set your own security to ''Risk'' if this is necessary.
It is useful to have the Risk button switch automatically.
