EMA is a wireless alarm system for homes and small commercial properties. It suppors up to 100 radio devices, 32 wireless detection zones (up to 96 total zones), 8 areas, 64 users and 10 configurable scenarios. It combines intrusion protection with visual verification, automation, fire and flood detection, app control and personal protection features.
A home needs different protection when everyone is away than when the family is asleep upstairs. In a small business, the stockroom may need to remain secured while employees are still serving customers. These everyday situations are where an alarm system’s flexibility becomes useful.
EMA is Teletek’s wireless intruder alarm system for homes and small commercial premises, bringing together wireless detection, multiple communication options, visual verification and app-based management. Here is how those capabilities translate into practical protection.
How can EMA adapt to the way a property is actually used?
EMA supports partial arming, allowing selected detection zones to remain active while others are disarmed. An installer – or the end user, can easily configure a night-time setting via the EMA app. They could set it up in a way that the system actively protects external doors and windows while allowing occupants to move between bedrooms, bathrooms and living spaces.
EMA’s eight areas also allow protection to be organised around different parts of a property. For example, a small business could separate its customer area, office and storage space rather than treating the entire premises as one indivisible alarm area. The configuration should reflect how people actually use the building.
What can EMA’s 10 scenarios do beyond everyday arming?
EMA supports 10 configurable scenarios, while the app allows commands and activations to be combined into automated routines. Instead of handling every function separately, the installer can build actions around how the property is used, with the available behaviour determined by the connected devices and programming.
EMA’s configurable scenarios can adapt the system to everyday routines. It can arm or disarm automatically on a schedule, control connected devices such as blinds or curtains via PAX OUT022, or send an inactivity notification if no movement is detected for a set period.
And these are only a few examples. With up to 10 configurable scenarios, installers can create other combinations of security modes, devices, outputs and notifications to match how the property is actually used.
How can EMA protect against more than intrusion?
EMA can extend beyond intruder protection to cover other everyday risks inside the property. With compatible PAX devices, the same wireless system can also monitor fire and flooding, giving users a broader view of what is happening in their home or small commercial space.
Die PAX FD wireless smoke and heat detector adds fire detection to the EMA ecosystem, combining optical smoke and heat sensing in one device. The PAX FL Funk-Hochwassermelder can be installed in areas where leaks may cause damage, such as kitchens, bathrooms, utility rooms or near appliances and pipework.
Both devices communicate through the same EMA system, so alarm, tamper and low-battery events can be handled as part of the wider installation. Combined with features such as personal protection through inactivity monitoring, this makes EMA more than an intruder alarm. It becomes a flexible protection platform that can cover several of the most important risks around the property.
How can you see what caused an alarm?
An alarm notification tells you that something happened. Visual information helps you understand the situation before deciding what to do next.
EMA supports PAX PIRCAM detectors for image verification, alongside live viewing from compatible IP cameras. Its IP-camera integration also supports a 10-second alarm recording, including five seconds before the alarm. This provides useful context around the triggering event. Up to four IP cameras can be connected, supporting RTSP streams with H.264 encoding at up to Full HD resolution.
For a shop owner receiving an after-hours alert, for example, this could mean reviewing the available images and footage to better understand activity around the entrance or sales floor. Visual verification supports a more informed response without requiring the owner to be on site.
How does EMA stay connected?
EMA integrates LAN, Wi-Fi and 4G connectivity, giving installers different ways to establish communication according to the site. A cellular connection can be particularly useful where fixed broadband is unavailable, provided an active data SIM and suitable mobile coverage are available.
The panel also provides a Wi-Fi access-point function for configuring its connection settings locally. This allows a phone to connect directly to EMA during network setup, rather than requiring an Ethernet connection first. Local setup and remote access serve different purposes: cloud-based management still requires an available internet connection through one of the supported communication routes.
How does EMA simplify installation and everyday control?
EMA uses encrypted, bidirectional wireless communication based on Teletek’s third-generation protocol. Wireless devices reduce the need to run individual alarm cables throughout finished interiors, while the panel’s removable mounting backplate and detachable power cable simplify physical installation.
One EMA app serves both installers and end users, with access organised around their respective roles. Installers can configure the panel and associated devices, while authorised users can manage arming, review events and receive notifications. System ownership can also be transferred to the administrator while retaining a secondary or maintenance role for the professional.
This creates a straightforward handover: the system is configured around the property, then its everyday controls are placed in the hands of the people using it.
Frequently asked questions
Compatible PAX PIR detectors offer pet immunity up to 10 kg. Correct positioning, room layout and walk testing remain important, since pet immunity is not a guarantee against every pet-related activation.
EMA includes an integrated backup battery that supports continued panel operation when mains power is unavailable. Battery condition should be checked during maintenance.
Yes. EMA supports SIA IP and CID IP reporting. The communication settings and receiving-station requirements should be coordinated with the monitoring provider.
