1. Product Overview
1.1 What Is the Smart Motion Sensor Audio Player
The Athenalarm Smart Motion Sensor Audio Player combines intelligent motion detection, directional recognition, customizable MP3 voice playback, dual-mode lighting, and external trigger output into a single compact device. It automatically performs one or more of the following actions when human movement is detected:
- Plays a customized voice message
- Activates motion-triggered or constant lighting
- Provides a wired dry-contact trigger signal to connected alarm panels or automation systems, with optional 433 MHz wireless signal transmission available on AA-100W and AA-100WR models.
It is suitable for retail entrances, office reception areas, hotels and restaurants, banks and financial facilities, jewelry stores, security-controlled locations, industrial facilities, and smart automation projects.
1.2 Beyond a Motion Sensor: A Voice & Security Integration Module
Standard motion sensors only provide basic on/off detection. The AA-100 Series Smart Motion Sensor Audio Player adds an intelligent response layer: when movement is detected, the device recognizes movement direction (entry or exit), then plays the corresponding audio file and/or transmits an external trigger signal through wired dry-contact output or 433 MHz wireless communication (AA-100W / AA-100WR) to compatible receiving devices.
1.3 Two Application Categories
1.3.1 Commercial Interaction
Automatic customer greetings, visitor guidance, and operational instructions — for example, a welcome message at a retail entrance or a safety reminder in a factory zone.
1.3.2 Security Notification
All AA-100 Series Smart Motion Sensor Audio Player models provide security integration capability through dry-contact trigger output, enabling connection with alarm panels, access control systems, and automation controllers.
AA-100W and AA-100WR additionally support 433 MHz wireless signal transmission through compatible receivers, while AA-100R and AA-100WR add Discreet Signal Mode for manual silent security notification in security-sensitive environments.
1.4 Detection & Response Architecture
Because the device supports several independent working modes (see Section 3), it does not follow a single fixed workflow. Depending on the mode selected, one of the following three response paths applies:
Path A — Voice Reminder Modes (all models: AA-100 / AA-100W / AA-100R / AA-100WR)
Human Movement → Motion Detection → Direction Recognition → Custom Voice Playback → Local Awareness
Path B — Trigger Modes (all models: AA-100 / AA-100W / AA-100R / AA-100WR)
Human Movement → Motion Detection → Direction Recognition → Voice Playback (0004.mp3) → Dry-Contact Trigger Output (all models) and 433 MHz Wireless Signal Transmission (AA-100W / AA-100WR) → Compatible Receiver / Alarm Control Panel → Security Response
Path C — Discreet Signal Mode (AA-100R / AA-100WR only, remote-activated)
Manual Remote Activation (press & hold 3 sec) → Continuous Silent Signal Output → Compatible Receiver / Alarm Control Panel → Security Response
Unlike Path B, Discreet Signal Mode does not depend on motion detection being triggered — it is manually engaged from the remote control and immediately sends an active, silent signal, functioning similarly to a discreet duress/panic notification. No voice is ever played in this mode, and the remote control is disabled until the device is powered off and restarted.
2. Key Features
2.1 Bidirectional & Unidirectional Voice Reminder with Direction Recognition
The device can distinguish entry and exit movement and play a different voice message for each direction (Bidirectional Voice Reminder Mode), or play a single message for one direction only (Unidirectional Voice Reminder Mode).
Example:
- Entry direction →
0001.mp3— “Welcome, thank you for visiting.” - Exit direction →
0002.mp3— “Thank you, have a nice day.”
2.2 Custom MP3 Voice Message Upload
Users can connect the device to a computer via USB-C and replace 0001.mp3, 0002.mp3, 0003.mp3, and 0004.mp3 with their own recordings — no software or programming required. This supports branded greetings, safety notices, or security warnings for different industries.
2.3 Motion-Activated & Constant Lighting Modes
The built-in light can operate in two ways: Motion-Activated Lighting Mode (turns on for approximately 15 seconds when motion is detected, then switches off) or Constant Lighting Mode (remains continuously on). Because Constant Lighting Mode consumes more power, an external USB-C or 12V DC power supply is recommended when using it.
2.4 External Trigger Output – Alarm & Automation Integration (All Models)
All four models — AA-100, AA-100W, AA-100R, and AA-100WR — include a signal output port and support both Bidirectional Trigger Mode and Unidirectional Trigger Mode, allowing every model to be wired into an alarm control panel, access control system, or automation controller, not just selected models. When triggered, the device plays 0004.mp3 and simultaneously activates its dry-contact output, allowing the connected alarm panel or automation controller to initiate the programmed response.
2.5 Discreet Signal Mode – Manual Silent Notification (AA-100R / AA-100WR)
Available only on remote-control models, Discreet Signal Mode is activated by pressing and holding the mute button on the remote control for 3 seconds. Once engaged:
- The device immediately sends a continuous, real-time signal to the connected alarm panel or other system
- No voice message is ever played
- The red indicator stays on
- The remote control becomes disabled until the device is powered off and restarted
This mode functions as a discreet, manually-triggered silent alert — useful as a duress-style notification for staff in banks, jewelry stores, or security offices who need to alert a monitoring center without drawing attention.
2.6 Mute Mode (AA-100R / AA-100WR)
Mute Mode is toggled via the remote control’s mute button. While active, the device continues normal motion detection and, if the current mode is a Trigger Mode, still sends signals to connected systems — but no voice is played, and the yellow indicator stays on. This allows Bidirectional/Unidirectional Trigger Mode to operate as an automatic, motion-based silent notification (signal sent, no audio), complementing the manual silent notification of Discreet Signal Mode.
2.7 Wired & Wireless Connectivity
All AA-100 Series Smart Motion Sensor Audio Player models support wired trigger integration through the signal output port.
AA-100W and AA-100WR additionally provide 433 MHz wireless signal transmission to compatible receiving devices, while AA-100R and AA-100WR include 433 MHz remote control functionality.
2.8 Remote Control Operation (AA-100R / AA-100WR)
AA-100R and AA-100WR include a CR1220 battery-powered 433 MHz remote control (battery not included), supporting volume adjustment, Mute Mode, and Discreet Signal Mode activation.

5. Security Integration Architecture
5.1 Overview
The AA-100 series Smart Motion Sensor Audio Player is engineered to work as an intelligent event-input and notification module within a larger alarm, access control, or automation system, not only as a standalone voice device.
All models support wired integration through the built-in dry-contact trigger output port. AA-100W and AA-100WR additionally support 433 MHz wireless signal transmission to compatible receiving devices for flexible deployment.
5.2 Automatic Voice Notification Workflow (All Models)
Human Movement → Motion Detection → Direction Recognition → Voice Playback → Local AwarenessUsed for customer greeting and visitor guidance in retail, hospitality, and office environments.
5.3 Automatic Trigger Notification Workflow (All Models)
Motion Detection → Bidirectional/Unidirectional Trigger Mode → Voice (0004.mp3) + Signal Output → Compatible Receiver / Alarm Control Panel → Local Alarm Output / CMS Monitoring CenterAll AA-100 Series Smart Motion Sensor Audio Player models support wired trigger integration through the dry-contact output. AA-100W and AA-100WR additionally support wireless trigger signal transmission through 433 MHz communication to compatible receiving devices.
On AA-100R/AA-100WR, engaging Mute Mode while in a Trigger Mode allows this same automatic, motion-based workflow to run silently — the signal is still sent, but no voice is played.
5.4 Manual Silent Notification – Discreet Signal Mode (AA-100R / AA-100WR)
Remote Control: Press & Hold Mute Button (3 sec) → Discreet Signal Mode Activated → Continuous Silent Signal → Alarm Control Panel → Security ResponseThis is a manually-initiated, motion-independent function — ideal as a discreet duress-style alert for staff in high-security environments. The remote control is disabled while this mode is active and can only be restored by power-cycling the device.
5.5 Alarm Panel & CCTV Integration (All Models)
Motion Event → Smart Motion Sensor Audio Player → Dry Contact / Trigger Output → Compatible Receiver / Alarm Control Panel → Local Security Response + CMS Monitoring Center → CCTV Verification (where supported by the connected system)By connecting the trigger output to a compatible alarm panel or video management system, motion events can initiate camera verification workflows, helping operators confirm incidents before dispatching a response.
5.6 Why Integrators Choose This Device
