How it works
What happens on a Shields system from the moment someone tries to get in.
1
Step 1
A visible Shields alarm and camera tell would-be intruders the property is protected and monitored.
2
Step 2
Smart detection recognises a person on your property and raises an alert before they reach a door or window.
3
Step 3
An operator in our UK monitoring centre watches the live video and listens in, so a false alarm goes no further.
4
Step 4
They speak to the intruder through the camera and set off the strobe and siren while they’re still outside.
5
Step 5
Confirmed threats are escalated straight away, and you get an alert on your phone at the same time.
