Silent alarming means that an alarm – for instance, from the fire alarm system – is not broadcast via sirens throughout the building. Instead, it's silently transmitted to staff, for example, to a caregiver's DECT phone. This is crucial in care facilities because audible alarms can panic residents, while staff need to focus on targeted evacuation or assistance.
At Divital, silent alarming is fully integrated into the all-in-one platform, offering precise location data, a prioritized alert chain, and automatic logging.
Because care facilities operate under different rules than office buildings: many residents cannot react appropriately to loud alarms – some panic, while others don't even notice them. Your staff therefore needs precise information instead of noise: Where is the fire? Who needs help? Who is responsible?
Silent alarming provides exactly that and automatically documents every step. This also satisfies fire departments and expert inspectors during system acceptance.
Yes. The Divital platform connects directly to your existing fire alarm control panel, forwarding its alerts in real-time to your staff's DECT phones. This eliminates the need for expensive parallel systems. For example, in a care home in Essen, we quickly replaced a faulty legacy system, which was then approved without defects by both the expert inspector and the fire department.

Very quickly. In urgent cases, within a few days. In Essen, for example, we replaced a faulty system just before a facility faced imminent closure: it was installed, tested, and approved without defects by both the fire department and the expert inspector.
No. Your fire alarm system remains in place. Silent alarming complements it by taking over alerts from the fire alarm control panel and distributing them silently, targeted, and documented to your staff. Responsibilities and approvals remain unaffected.
Significantly lower than with analog legacy systems: less maintenance, lower energy consumption, and no parallel systems from multiple providers. In reference projects, savings were around 45 to 50 percent. We would be happy to calculate this specifically for your facility.
