Why the WinGuard integration makes a difference
Where a security control center already exists, it is not the functionality of the app that decides, but its compatibility. RS Personal Alarm triggers alarms in existing WinGuard process chains – reporting, escalation, and documentation remain in the established system.
What distinguishes RS Personal Alarm from other PNA apps?
The essential difference is the native integration into the WinGuard hazard management system as well as the separate coverage of three target groups (lone workers, employees, visitors) in a single app.
Why is RS Personal Alarm a good alternative to other PNAs?
Yes. RS Personal Alarm meets the same normative basic requirements (DGUV Rule 112-139, DIN VDE V 0825-11) and additionally offers the WinGuard integration as a unique selling point for companies with an existing security control center.
