Frequently Asked Questions
Amber Guard is an alarm monitoring device from Amber IoT that watches over a site or system and reports alarm events wirelessly over the Sigfox 0G network. It is designed to provide reliable, low-power monitoring independent of cellular or fixed-line connections. The device is part of Amber IoT's security-focused range, engineered and supported in South Africa.
Amber Guard detects an alarm condition and transmits a message over the Sigfox 0G low-power network to a monitoring platform or centre. Using a dedicated low-power radio keeps battery consumption low and provides coverage where mobile signal is weak. The Sigfox network's anti-jamming design also makes the alarm path more resilient to interference.
Amber Guard runs on the Sigfox 0G network, which is engineered with anti-jamming capability a key advantage for security devices that criminals may try to block. Unlike some traditional signalling methods, this makes it much harder to suppress an alarm. Anti-jamming resilience is one reason Sigfox has been widely adopted for South African security applications.
Amber Guard suits residential, commercial, and remote sites that need dependable alarm monitoring without relying on cellular or landline connections. It is particularly useful where power or connectivity is limited, since Sigfox devices run for long periods on battery. Applications range from property security to monitoring unattended or off-grid assets.
Yes Amber Guard is built to deliver alarm events to an offsite monitoring centre or backend platform via the Sigfox 0G network, enabling a 24/7 response capability. Amber IoT can advise on integration with your chosen monitoring provider or control room. This makes it suitable for both self-monitored and professionally monitored setups.
