What is the purpose of the Check'In 2 alarm?
The Check'In 2 alarm is a device consisting of a Check'In 2 connected unit and a mobile application: Check'In. Equipped with built-in artificial intelligence, the Check'In 2 alarm protects secured locations by detecting suspicious vibrations and alerts you even before a break-in occurs.
The Check'In 2 unit is autonomous and requires no wiring, electricity, or Wi-Fi. It operates 24/7 and can be installed in remote areas with weak network coverage (e.g., countryside, cellar...). It is compatible with all types of doors: standard doors, Sitex doors, garage doors, etc.
How does the Check'In 2 alarm work?
The Check'In 2 unit is equipped with a SIM card that uses LTE-M and NB-IoT networks to communicate with the Artifeel server and the Check'In application. It operates 24/7, powered by two CR17500 3V Li-MnO2 batteries with a lifespan of three years.
The Check'In sensors continuously analyse vibrations affecting the surface where the unit is installed. They use embedded artificial intelligence to distinguish normal openings from intrusion attempts. Thus, no activation or deactivation is needed — monitoring is constant.
When an intrusion attempt is detected, a pre-recorded voice warns intruders that the site is protected. A 15-second audio clip is then recorded, followed by an alarm sounding for three minutes. Simultaneously, you are notified of the attempted break-in on your phone (via the Check'In application and/or SMS and/or email).
What are the differences between the Check'In 2 and the Check'In alarm?
The Check'In 2 alarm offers significantly better performance than its predecessor, Check'In. It features improved battery life thanks to new components that extend the battery lifespan. Its connectivity is also enhanced with two major innovations: Power Saving Mode (PSM) and an external dual SIM system.
PSM speeds up network connection, reducing data transmission delays and, consequently, alerts. With dual SIM, the Check'In 2 alarm can connect to two different telecom operators, ensuring extended network coverage, even in the most remote areas.
