The silent alarm lets you receive a push notification when motion is detected without the Minut siren going off. This is useful when you want to be informed of unexpected activity in a unit without causing a scene; for example, during a stay when you suspect a breach of house rules but don't want to alarm guests prematurely.
Not available in outdoor mode. The security alarm and silent alarm are not supported on M3 sensors installed in outdoor mode.
Security alarm vs silent alarm
Security alarm
When motion is detected after the grace period, the siren sounds for up to 2 minutes. A push notification is also sent to all team members. Guests in the unit will hear the alarm.
Silent alarm
When motion is detected, only a push notification is sent. The siren does not sound. Guests in the unit are unaware the alert has been triggered.
The silent alarm can be used independently: you do not need the full security alarm enabled to use it. It works as a standalone motion notification tool, ideal for operators who want to monitor activity without the risk of a false alarm disturbing guests.
