Clean air report: The Methalarm tests the air every 30 minutes and saves results to a secure portal. All sampling results over time are available to view or download.
Alarm Activation: When the Methalarm device senses use or manufacture of methamphetamine above a user-defined threshold, the device will email and text message administrators with alert information. All alerts are silent.
Tamper proof: Sensors are located in a tamper proof case. The device has two tamper activations which will activate a silent alert and send an email and text message to administrators.
