Dahua and Permaconn Partner to Deliver Seamless Alarm Connectivity for AirShield Installations Across Australia and New Zealand

2026-07-1786


Dahua Technology and Permaconn have announced a strategic partnership to integrate Permaconn's trusted alarm signalling network with the Dahua AirShield wireless alarm platform, delivering a simplified and professionally managed connectivity solution for security installers and monitoring centres across ANZ.


About the Partnership


Dahua has selected Permaconn as its connectivity partner for the AirShield wireless alarm hub, integrating Permaconn's ISO 27001-certified signalling network directly into the product. Roll-out has already begun with select distributors, with every new AirShield hub shipping with two Permaconn SecureLink SIMs included in the box, pre-configured to the Permaconn Network and ready to activate.


For security installers and monitoring centres across Australia and New Zealand, this means faster, simpler commissioning with no additional hardware, no extra receivers, and no compatibility headaches.


By combining Dahua's AirShield intrusion alarm platform with Permaconn's industry-leading alarm communications infrastructure, the solution delivers seamless connectivity and simplified deployment for installers and end users alike.


Dahua AirShield series intrusion alarm products adopt advanced RF communication technology to achieve wireless installation, stable connection and long battery life. Through Dahua Cloud services, software tools are provided to installers, monitoring centres and end users, making product configuration and management simple and efficient. The system is also deeply integrated with Dahua CCTV and Intercom solutions, enabling enhanced system linkage, improving operational efficiency and delivering a more seamless user experience.


What’s in the Box


Each Dahua AirShield will now include a SIM Kit containing two Permaconn SecureLink SIMs. These SIMs arrive pre-configured with Permaconn’s network settings so installers simply insert and activate. No APN configuration. No third-party SIM sourcing. No delays on site.

A Quick Start Guide is included in the box and is also available online at https://permaconn.com/sims-dahuaairshield to guide installers through the full activation process.


Key Combined Benefits for Installers and Monitoring Centres


Ready out of the box: SecureLink SIMs are pre-configured to the Permaconn Network and included with every AirShield hub, reducing setup time and simplifying commissioning.


Easy installation: AirShield detectors and accessories are battery-powered, except for the hub, which requires a 12V DC power supply, enabling a completely wireless installation.



Single or Dual SIM flexibility: Choose between a Single SIM (P2) or Dual SIM (P9) poll plan to match the site’s redundancy requirements.


Connect to any ANZ monitoring centre: All AirShield alarm and video events are delivered through the Permaconn cloud to any monitoring centre running a Permaconn receiver. No additional infrastructure required at the MC.


Stable RF communication: AirShield Hub uses Dahua’s private RF communication protocol, Airfly, to achieve a stable connection, enable two-way communication, and support OTA (Over-The-Air) upgrades with wireless peripherals.


Integrated alarm, video and intercom ecosystem: AirShield integrates with Dahua CCTV and Intercom solutions, enabling alarm, video and communication events to be managed within a single ecosystem.


Fleet management through Atlas: All Permaconn SIMs and devices are managed centrally through the Permaconn Atlas platform using a familiar Permaconn serial number, consistent with every other Permaconn device in your fleet.


Trusted network and local support: Backed by Permaconn's ISO 27001-certified information security framework, 99.99% network uptime SLA and 24/7 Australian-based technical support.


From Dahua


At Dahua, our focus is not only on developing innovative security technology, but also on making it easier for installers to deliver reliable solutions to their customers. Permaconn was the clear choice for AirShield because of its strong reputation, trusted network and deep understanding of the alarm industry. By bringing together AirShield and Permaconn's connectivity expertise, we're offering a solution that gives installers greater confidence from deployment through to ongoing operation, while helping end users stay protected when it matters most.


Truman Zhang, President, Dahua Australia


From Permaconn


“As alarm connectivity options across the industry continue to diversify, including solutions like the Dahua Airshield, we've developed SecureLink SIM to bring the reliability and ease of use the industry already trusts in Permaconn alarm communicators to even more applications. We're excited to partner with Dahua to supply SecureLink SIMs pre-packaged within AirShield boxes - a move that dramatically cuts installation times, simplifies administration and frees installers to focus on what matters most.”


Andrew Pears, Group Chief Executive Officer, Permaconn
