Add a contact

Click ADD CONTACT, type a Name and the Phone Number, and pick the country (it starts at Denmark). A name or number can’t be changed later: delete the contact and add it again.

Choose which alerts a contact gets

Click the pencil to open Manage Alerts, and tick what this person should get a text for:

• Alarm Zones: a text when a drone is inside the zone while it is active. Switched-off zones are marked (off).
• Sensors: a text when the sensor detects any drone, wherever it flies.
• Subscription Zones: if your organization subscribes to the Drone Detection Service, a text when a drone is inside the zone.

Each tick is saved straight away; click Close when you are done. The list then shows the links as Alarm:, Sensor: and Zone: labels, with their number under Active Alerts.

Manage Alerts for one contact

There are no settings per contact for times of day or kinds of drone. To limit a zone to certain dates, give it an active period. To stop alerts for your own drones, use Approved Drones.

Watchlisted drone alerts

With Watchlisted drone alerts switched on, the contact gets a text whenever a drone on your Watchlist is detected, whatever zones and sensors they are linked to. The switch is saved straight away.

Caution

Watchlisted drone alerts is on for every new contact. Switch it off for numbers that should only hear about their own zones and sensors.
