1 Introduction

Alarm repeater is a wireless repeater device that extends the communication range between the alarm hub and other accessories, and forwards messages received from the accessory to the hub. It provides a secondary communication path for accessories, improving the overall stability and reliability of communication of the wireless security system. You can use the DMSS app to manually select a path for accessories or allow the system to automatically select one for them.

It is suitable for security use in scenes, such as villas with multiple floors, garages that are far away from residential areas, or office buildings and shops with partitions.
