No! The use of the Stiller Alarm Software requires no additional hardware. However, you have the option of using additional hardware (such as USB buttons or radio transmitters) for triggering the alarm. This does not interfere with your IT infrastructure!

4. How is the Stiller Alarm Software managed?

The setup and daily management of the Stiller Alarm software is done via a web-based central administration interface. This gives you quick access to your administrative interface from anywhere. You save yourself an additional installation and care of unnecessary software products. The management interface captures your infrastructure, alarms, users, and alerts, events, and reports.

No! Such scenarios are resolved through user permissions.

Sending an alarm

1. How can an alarm be triggered?

Without additional hardware you can trigger an alarm via the desktop icon, a selected key combination or a tray icon. Furthermore, you can trigger an alarm using a USB button or a radio transmitter. This is driver-free plug & play hardware that does not interfere with your IT infrastructure.

2. Is it possible to trigger alarms from the lock screen?

Yes! You can also trigger all alarms from the lock screen.

3. Can F-keys or other single keyboard keys be used to trigger the alarm?

No! Unless a programmable keyboard is used. Normally, the combinations of three buttons are provided to avoid overlapping with other programs and to counteract frequent false alarms.

4. How can you be sure that an alarm has been triggered?

Stiller Alarm offers the alarm trigger the possibility to see the confirmation of the positive alarm triggering as well as the alarm acknowledgment by other users via a small, inconspicuous pop-up window.

Receiving an alarm

1. Can alarms be received in the lock screen?

Yes! The alarms can also be received in the lock screen. In addition, they can be confirmed from the lock screen.

2. Are the users only informed by a pop-up during an incoming alarm?

No! It is possible to switch on an alarm tone even if the loudspeakers on the PC are deactivated. The prerequisite for this is a machine that can reproduce sounds. Furthermore, individual tones can be selected for all forms of alerting.

3. Which information is received as a alarm recipient?

The alarm recipient can see at a glance the name, alarm message, telephone number, room and floor of the alarm trigger. If you enter the building plans into your Stiller Alarm software, the alarm receivers can see the room plan stored for the alarm group and thus come to the aid even faster.
