AirShield Repeater: extend wireless range
The AirShield Repeater extends the wireless range of your alarm system. It is useful for places where the signal is weaker, such as a garage, loft or an office with many walls. This way, notifications arrive more reliably.
The Repeater (Dahua DHI-ARA43-W2(868)) receives messages from paired accessories and forwards them to the hub. This creates an additional communication path. It supports up to 128 accessories and, thanks to a built-in battery, keeps working during a power outage.
Why the AirShield Repeater
Greater range
Extends the wireless range to approximately 1,600 metres in open field, with automatic antenna switching for the most stable connection possible.
Up to 128 accessories
Supports up to 128 wireless accessories, so that sensors in difficult locations also keep communicating reliably with the hub.
Works during a power failure
A built-in lithium battery keeps the Repeater working in standby for approximately 35 hours, even if the power fails.
Encrypted and simple
Two-way RF communication with AES128 encryption. Pairing is automatic or manual via the app.
