From sensor to phone, in seconds

Two devices. Two ways the alert reaches you.

Both lines start the same way — a sensor fires and the device wakes up. What happens next depends on whether you're running the standalone GSM line or the cloud-connected line.

GSM Path

Shutter Point Security & Home Point Security

01

Sensor firesShutter movement or door/window interrupt wakes the device.

02

Device dials out over GSMCalls and texts the configured numbers directly through its own SIM — works even without WiFi.

03

Email over WiFi (if available)If the device also has WiFi configured, an email alert goes out alongside the call.

04

Siren + LEDThe on-device alarm sounds and the status LED shows the trigger state.

05

DND / 24hr checkCalls are suppressed during your configured Do Not Disturb window — unless the event is flagged 24hr, in which case it rings through regardless.

Cloud Path

Shutter Cloud Security & Home Cloud Security

01

Sensor firesDevice wakes and connects to your configured WiFi network.

02

Device authenticates to the cloudA layered check confirms the device is genuine before anything else happens.

03

Cloud classifies the eventThe backend reads what kind of event this is and which device it came from.

04

DND / 24hr checkThe cloud checks your DND schedule. Events flagged 24hr always ring through, DND or not — DND only ever suppresses calls, never email.

05

Every channel, at onceCall, SMS, email and app push all go out to every configured contact; the event is written to your log immediately.

Real numbers, not marketing rounding

What "instant" actually means

The ESP32 inside every VoidStar device wakes instantly — no delay there. What takes time is everything after: processing the event and getting a command out over GSM or WiFi, which runs roughly 2.2–6 seconds depending on signal.

0.0s

Sensor trips — shutter forced or door/window interrupt fires.

Instant

ESP32 wakes from deep sleep immediately — no wake-up delay.

~2.2–6s

Device processes the event and connects — to GSM or to WiFi, depending on the line — to send the command out.

Seconds later

Call, SMS, email or app push reaches you — every configured contact, every enabled channel.

Two mounts, same device internals

Shutter-mount or wall-mount — you're choosing where it lives, not what it does

Shutter-mount

  1. 01 Clips onto the shutter's bottom rib — fits any level, any width
  2. 02 Status LED, visible from outside the shutter
  3. 03 Removable battery cell — pull it, charge it, slot it back in
  4. 04 Sealed housing, no wiring to the premises

Wall-mount

  1. 01 Fixes to a wall or doorframe near a socket
  2. 02 Status LED, same signal language as the shutter unit
  3. 03 Mains power lead, with battery for automatic backup
  4. 04 No manual charging — it switches over on its own
Two settings buyers ask about most

DND schedule & 24hr override, in plain terms

DND Schedule

Set quiet hours for the times you're confident there's no theft activity — typically your daytime hours — during which the device won't ring your phone for routine events. Email alerts still go out during DND; only the call is held back.

24hr Override

Mark specific alert types as 24hr-priority and they'll ring through at any hour, DND or not. Useful when you're in vacation mode and there's no "safe" time of day, or for events you'd want to know about no matter when they happen — an actual break-in, not a routine sensor check.
