RE:SURE AURA is a revolutionary app that gives you a previously unimaginable level of personal protection on the go. Wherever you are with your smartphone, you will be a button press away from help. When you activate RE:SURE AURA, our 24-7 Control Centre will immediately receive an alarm giving your exact location and showing us audio and video of the event that has transpired. RE:SURE AURA is a great personal security solution for a huge variety of scenarios. Whether for people working alone for prolonged periods of time, to others visiting strangers in unknown territories; if you think you are going to be in a potentially unsafe situation, then RE:SURE GO is an easy to use and effective solution to give you greater peace of mind. Some examples of when to use RE:SURE AURA would be: -For healthcare workers carrying out home visits -For sales people visiting potential new customers in unknown areas -For engineers working alone in remote locations -When taking a taxi or a public transport home at night RE:SURE AURA is the ideal app to ensure your safety wherever you are and whatever you are doing, be it business or personal. Crucially the fact that RE:SURE works on your smartphone negates the requirement for an extra device, which is frequently forgotten. RE:SURE AURA is activated in a time of distress by either shaking or tapping the screen of your smartphone. Upon activation your phone immediately begins recording short video and audio clips, which, along with your exact location, are then sent to the RE:SURE Control Centre. Our highly trained operatives will analyse this information, contacting you, your emergency contacts and, when necessary, the emergency services in order to ensure your safety. Additional functionality is provided through the Meeting Timer. The Meeting Timer allows you to set up an expected meeting duration time. Once this is done, a countdown timer starts both on your phone, and remotely in our secure servers. This timer must be stopped within that period of time in order to prevent the alarm being activated in the RE:SURE Control Centre. If the alarm time needs to be extended a discrete push of a button can postpone it in 15-minute/1 hour intervals. The meeting timer can be used as a simple and hassle free check in tool for staff when in remote locations or when going into a meeting with unfamiliar persons. For example -When going on a blind date and you don’t want friends or family to know – set the timer for 30 minutes and if it’s all going wrong, you will have an excuse to leave when The RE:SURE Control Centre calls you -When attending a meeting with a stranger or a person with a dubious reputation -When you want your staff (or your children!) to regularly check in to make sure you have the continual knowledge they are OK For more information please visit www.resure.co, email go-sales@resure.co or call us on +44 28 8676 1183 or +353 1 691 7100. Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life. Now integrated with the Health Kit to enhance the journey feature.

SECOM Safe is much more than an app, it is an around the clock personal security service that is with you everywhere your phone goes. SECOM Safe is activated in a time of distress by either shaking or tapping the screen of your smart phone. Upon activation your smartphone immediately records a short video and audio clip, which, along with your exact GPS location, is immediately sent to the SECOM’s A1 Graded monitoring Control Centre. Our highly trained staff will analyse this information, contacting you, follow your emergency procedures and when necessary call the emergency services in order to ensure your safety. SECOM Safe is ideal for people working in a wide variety of industries, in which prolonged periods of time may be spent alone and/or in potentially unsafe situations. From mobile managers to healthcare workers carrying out home visits to engineers in remote locations, SECOM Safe is the ideal app to ensure your safety wherever you are and whatever you are doing. Crucially the fact that SECOM Safe is on your smart phone negates the requirement for an extra device, which is frequently forgotten or not charged. Additional functionality is provided through the Meeting Timer. The Meeting Timer allows you to set up an expected meeting duration time.
