DHI Siren Indoor ARA12
The ARA12-W2(868) is a compact wireless siren from Dahua designed for indoor use, built to provide a clear warning signal and deter intruders. The siren features three volume levels and reaches up to 105 dB(A) at 1 meter, offering a powerful deterrent effect in smaller spaces such as homes, offices, and apartments.
Thanks to two-way communication and frequency hopping, the siren communicates stably and interference-free with the hub, with a range of up to 1,000 meters in open areas. The device is powered by two CR123A batteries with a battery life of up to 2.5 years (when alarming twice a week, 120-second sound signal each time), and automatically warns of low battery levels. Cloud-based remote updates, tamper protection, and a test mode provide easy operation and installation. With EN 50131 Grade 2 certification, the ARA12-W2(868) fits well into smaller indoor installations as a complement to Dahua's wireless alarm hubs.
