Yale Easy Fit SmartPhone Alarm Kit

The Easy Fit Smartphone alarm is Yale top of the range home alarm system, operated via an iPhone or Android Smartphone, or via a standard PC web browser.

Most people are now accustomed to using their Smartphone to organise their affairs, improve their productivity and to generally make life easier. Whether you want to find your nearest Chinese restaurant, you’re having trouble sleeping, or you’re unable to get up from the couch and run 5k; we’re all used to hearing: “There’s an app for that!”

You can now remotely arm and disarm your home’s system via your Smartphone, when used in conjunction with Yale’s top-of-the-range Easy Fit Smartphone Alarm, as well as receiving images captured on the wall-mounted PIR device, delivered seconds after the alarm is triggered.

Primarily alerting to intrusion via its external siren alarm, the system offers peace of mind while away from home, with the comfort of knowing you’ll be alerted if anything happens.

With a range of accessories available – including the clever power switch accessory, allowing lights, appliances and other electrical items to be turned on and off using a Smartphone, this system integrates your home alarm system with your mobile device, giving you convenience and peace of mind in your pocket.

When the alarm is triggered, the external siren will start sounding and you will be notified by email and push notification on your Smartphone. There is a wide range of accessories available for this system including the clever power switch accessory, allowing you to turn lights, appliances and other electrical items on and off using your Smartphone.

Rolling Code Technology Explained

When a controlling accessory (keyfob, keypad, etc) transmits a signal to the control box, it will transmit a unique code alongside the actual message. This code allows the control box to check whether this device is an authorised device; if it’s not an authorised device (for example, your neighbour’s keyfob), the control box will ignore the message. Problems can arise when the unique code is intercepted as, in many systems, this unique code remains the same for every transmission. If someone intercepted this code, they can possibly mimic this code and send a command to the control box illegally. The Yale Easy Fit Alarm’s Rolling Code Technology prevents this by ensuring this unique code is different for every transmission. If someone intercepted this code, it would have already expired and cannot be used to control the system, adding an extra layer of security to prevent unauthorised access.

433MHz Technology Explained

The Easy Fit Alarm from Yale uses a frequency that is more tightly controlled than many used by alarm systems, meaning a clearer channel with less interference. The 433MHz frequency has a short duty cycle of 1% as defined regulation, meaning that any one device can only transmit for 1% of the time, leaving the channel 99% of time free of transmission. This means that where there are multiple devices operating, they are less likely to collide resulting in a higher performance. Other devices that operate on a higher cycle are far more likely to collide and result in interference.
