A complete AirShield alarm for an average home costs you roughly 400 to 800 euros in equipment as a one-off, and nothing per month after that. The DMSS app is free and works without a subscription. Annual costs only apply if you want a SIM card for mobile back-up or an alarm receiving centre. Below, we calculate three examples and list all the costs.
What you pay for
One-off: equipment
A kit with a hub and the first detectors, plus whatever else you need.
Free: the app
The DMSS app with push notifications and camera images costs nothing, not even per month.
Optional: SIM card
Mobile back-up for when your internet fails, from 42 euros per year.
Optional: installation

The starter kits
Each kit contains a hub, a magnetic contact, a motion detector and a remote control (keyfob). The difference lies in the hub's connection and the type of motion detector.
| Hub 2 Kit | 4G Hub 2 Kit | 4G Hub 2 Kit (PIR-Cam) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Connection | Wifi and network cable | Wifi, network cable and 4G | Wifi, network cable and 4G |
| Motion detector | PIR | PIR | PIR-Cam, with photos on an alarm |
| Keeps working during an internet outage | None | Yes, with a SIM card | Yes, with a SIM card |
| Price | € 255,50 incl. VAT€ 211,16 excl. VAT | € 351,25 incl. VAT€ 290,29 excl. VAT | € 406,50 incl. VAT€ 335,95 excl. VAT |
Our advice choose the 4G version. For a small difference, your alarm keeps working if your home internet fails, which is exactly what a burglar may try. The prices in this table are live from our webshop.

Recurring costs: only if you want them
| What | Costs | Required? |
|---|---|---|
| DMSS app | Free | Yes, to operate the system |
| M2M SIM card, data | € 42 per year, € 9,95 one-off registration | No, only for mobile back-up |
| M2M SIM card, data and voice | € 54 per year, € 9,95 one-off registration | No, if the hub also needs to be able to make calls |
| Alarm receiving centre | To be taken out separately | No, for 24/7 professional follow-up |
Good to know the M2M SIM card works with roaming and selects the best provider itself. Text messages are not included; use the free push notifications for that.
Install it yourself or have it installed?
AirShield is easy to install yourself: you connect the hub, mount the detectors and pair them in the app. If you would rather have it done for you, our VEB-approved technicians will install it. That costs € 349,00 incl. VAT€ 288,43 excl. VAT for the wireless components, with travel costs charged separately. From fifteen components, you pay € 12,50 per additional component.
