Many alerting methods
The alarm is triggered either manually via the app or the browser interface, automatically via mission control systems such as Cobra, or remotely via call or SMS.

For the transmission of the alarm, GroupAlarm uses many different channels. The FRED pager from hk.systems is used for primary alerting. Its alarm path is encrypted throughout and has multiple redundancies. Thanks to a dual-SIM solution with roaming at home and abroad, the powerful IoT pager can use all available mobile networks. The app, SMS, call (landline and mobile) and e-mail message paths are available as secondary alerts. These can each be stored with different escalation levels. All alerting channels are capable of processing feedback messages.
