How it works

How we stop a break‑in in 45 seconds

What happens on a Shields system from the moment someone tries to get in.

1

Step 1

Deterred before they try

A visible Shields alarm and camera tell would-be intruders the property is protected and monitored.

2

Step 2

Spotted at the boundary

Smart detection recognises a person on your property and raises an alert before they reach a door or window.

3

Step 3

Checked by a real person

An operator in our UK monitoring centre watches the live video and listens in, so a false alarm goes no further.

4

Step 4

Warned off, out loud

They speak to the intruder through the camera and set off the strobe and siren while they’re still outside.

5

Step 5

Police or a guard sent

Confirmed threats are escalated straight away, and you get an alert on your phone at the same time.
