We talk to intruders - not just alarm them
The idea behind LiveTalk is simple: we immediately scare burglars away by speaking to them through a speaker-microphone unit, and call in the emergency services if needed. The demo above shows it in action, demonstrated by one of our team.
Listen, speak, challenge - and alert the emergency services
From break-in to police alert in around 35 seconds.
We listen via microphone
The intruder breaks in and activates LiveTalk - we listen into the property immediately.
We challenge via speaker
The intruder is startled as our staff verbally challenge them through a speaker on-site.
We alert the police
Emergency services are called and the intruder runs - empty-handed.
