Amthal Group Companies has unveiled a new wireless intruder alarm system named AirShield, developed in collaboration with Dahua Technology.
This addition broadens Amthal’s portfolio of professionally installed security solutions specifically aimed at residential properties.
About AirShield
The launch of AirShield signals a response to the growing demand for security systems that offer professional reliability paired with modern connectivity and remote monitoring features. Importantly, these functionalities do not require subscription models for fundamental operations.
The system conveniently integrates intruder detection, video verification, and intercom functionalities on a single platform, utilising Dahua’s DMSS mobile application for management.
Delivering a wireless solution
Paul Rosenthal, Group Business Development Director at Amthal, remarked, “AirShield aligns closely with how Amthal approaches security system design: professionally specified, technically robust, and straightforward for users to manage. Our partnership with Dahua allows us to deliver a wireless solution that integrates intrusion detection, video surveillance, and system control within a single platform, while maintaining the levels of reliability, resilience, and long-term monitoring support our clients expect.”
Features and benefits
AirShield uses Dahua’s encrypted wireless protocol for secure communicationAirShield allows users to verify alarms visually in near real-time, remotely manage arming and disarming, and receive event notifications through a unified interface. Designed to integrate alarm sensors, cameras, and access devices into a single ecosystem, the system simplifies security management for homeowners while upholding professional installation and maintenance standards.
Utilising Dahua’s wireless protocol, AirShield supports secure and stable communication between the hub and connected devices through encryption and frequency hopping. Zone-based arming offers flexibility by enabling different property areas to be secured independently, catering to varied residential and mixed-use scenarios.
Visual verification is facilitated by PIR camera sensors, which provide image snapshots alongside alarm notifications. This function assists both users and Amthal’s remote monitoring partner, EMCS, in discerning genuine incidents from false alarms.
Integrated security
Alvin Qian, General Manager for Dahua Technology UK, commented, “AirShield reflects Dahua’s approach to integrated security, combining AIoT technologies with practical, everyday usability. Amthal’s support for the system aligns with our focus on professional system design, compliance, and long-term support, all with no ongoing subscription costs. It helps ensure AirShield is specified, installed and maintained to the highest standards.”
For installers and service providers, AirShield benefits from support via Dahua’s DoLynk Care platform, which enables remote system diagnostics, firmware management, and health checks. This approach aims to uphold system performance while minimising the requirement for routine on-site interventions.
