Pagers

[Coda]

People, when I activate ECM and kill everyone who have a pager, do I have to answer all of them because everyone is dead?

[Coda]

or ECM just delay pagers and i still have to answer after...

The ECm device only lasts a short time. When it runs out pagers, cameras and phones are active again.

So in other words, yes. If a guard is dead his pager will go off once the ecm finishes.

Only delays it, all of them will pop atthe same time

If you happen to have the aced version of the skill "ECM Specialist", which is at the very top of the Shinobi sub-tree (in Ghost), your ECM Jammers will last around 20-30 seconds (depending on your skills) after being deployed. They will also block pagers.

Now, what I mean by them "blocking pagers" is quite simple, really:
Deploy a jammer on, say, the ground, and it will ensure all pagers (that would normally be set off a few seconds after the guard carrying it is killed/dominated) will not go off until the jammer life, itself, has ended, or your jammerS' batteries, plural, if you're ecm chaining, say, Art Gallery.

On the other hand, regardless of what skills you have, your ECMs will always block out cameras and phones from raising the alarm. You can read some more info about the ECM Jammer here:

but what about that, where we have more than 4 guards and we want ECM rush fast and kill them all?

Then you only focus on coordinating well-timed ECM deployments and the mission objective, e.g: secure 6 paintings. Most maps will have more than 4 guards anyway, especially on higher difficulties.
