About

Eliot Protect alarm

Features
Read full description

Eliot Protect Alarms for private individuals and property managers, alarms that are sometimes in unsafe environments, a support and an opportunity to alert, e.g. in case of threat or if you have suffered an injury. With Eliot Protect Alarm, an alarm is quickly connected to a predefined alarm receiver (a professional alarm center, an internal operations center or a private receiver of the alarm), which means that an action can be taken immediately. Alarms are activated from the lock screen where you hold down the round alarm button for two seconds or with the alarm button inside the app. There is also an external alarm button (Safeclick) that is connected to the phone. In the event of an alarm, a call is started to the alarm recipient at the same time as the app sends the exact position, identity of the person who made the alarm and other status information from the phone to the receiver. The identity is linked to the action document that is registered with Eliot Protect, so that the alarm receiver gets an exact and clear picture of what has happened and clear instructions on what to do. Eliot Protect primarily for alarm centers. The connection to the alarm centers takes place via Eliot's cloud service and today Eliot has support for connection to most major alarm centers in Sweden. To use Eliot Protect Alarm, you must have a subscription with Eliot, where you enter your profile and what actions to take in connection with an alarm. Contact Eliot for more information, if you are interested in our solution.
