AirShield Keyfob: operate your alarm from your key ring
The AirShield Keyfob is a compact wireless remote control for your AirShield alarm system. With four clear buttons you arm and disarm, select home mode and raise the alarm immediately with the SOS button. Handy on your key ring, reliable in use.
The keyfob (Dahua ARA24-W2(868)) communicates two-way with the hub on 868 MHz and switches automatically between frequencies, so the connection remains stable. You choose white or black.
Why the AirShield Keyfob
Four buttons, everything within reach
Arm (Away), home mode (Home), disarm and a separate SOS button for emergencies. You operate it with a single press from the front door.
Certainty through two-way communication
The remote control and the hub confirm each other's signal. This way you know for certain that a command has arrived, even with busy wireless traffic.
Encrypted and interference-resistant
Communication on 868 MHz with AES128 encryption and frequency hopping, resistant to eavesdropping and interference.
Years on a coin cell
Runs on a CR2032 battery with a service life of up to 3 years. When the battery is low, you will receive a notification in good time.

Remote control or panic button?
If you want to arm and disarm your alarm every day, choose the Keyfob. If you simply need an emergency button to raise the alarm, the Button or DoubleButton is the right choice.
| Control | Type | Arm/disarm | Raise the alarm | Buttons | Range |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Keyfob | Hand transmitter | Yes (Home / Away / Off) | Yes, a separate SOS button | 4 | Up to 900 m |
| Button | Panic button | No | Yes, with 1 press | 1 | Up to 1,200 m |
| DoubleButton | Panic button | No | Yes, 2 buttons against false alarms | 2 | Up to 1,200 m |
All three work wirelessly on 868 MHz with two-way communication and AES128 encryption, and pair with the same AirShield hub.

No AirShield system yet?
This control works with the wireless AirShield hub from Dahua. Put your system together room by room with the configurator, or have everything installed by our VEB-approved installers.
Frequently asked questions
What is the SOS button for?
With the separate SOS button you raise the alarm immediately, for example in an emergency, even if the system is disarmed. The hub then sends a notification straight away.
How many key fobs can I pair?
You can pair up to 64 keyfobs with an AirShield hub, so every user can have their own remote control.
Does the keyfob also work without internet?
Yes. The keyfob communicates directly with the hub on 868 MHz, independently of your wifi or internet. Only notifications to your phone go via the hub's network.
How does the keyfob differ from a panic button?
The key fob arms and disarms your alarm and also has an SOS button. If you only need a panic button, look at the AirShield Button or DoubleButton.
