Do these alarms use any form of signal encryption or data protection. How easy are they to disable with any hacking device as mentioned in the daily mail for the mi-guard.
khushpal Jandoo, Coventry West Midlands
The ERA invincible works on a secure and private 433MHZ radio frequency. However I can also recommend the ERA HomeGuard Smart Alarm Pro - Premium Kit which has anti Tamper technology.

How does this system communicate with the smartphone app? I’m aware it’s through a SIM card but does this use data or do it through text messages?

We want to alarm our garage - are there suitable PIR sensors to do this available - I've been told a dual sensor one is best also does the RFID keypad include an internal siren or does this need to be added separately?
Dave, Guilford
The ERA PIR's which work on a duel sensor would be suitable as long as the garage is within 80 metres frequency range of the hub. The RFID keypad does not include an internal siren however the actual hub has one built in which would siren when any component is activated.

Can this alarm be connected to the wifi in order to notify my phone via push notification (i.e. through the app) as opposed to using a sim card or landline to call/text?
James, Cuffley
No, the the ERA Invincible is not WiFi compatible so it would only notify you by text not a push notification. For your purpose I would recommend one of our Yale Smart Alarm Kits.
