This SolusGuard App pairs with the wearable SolusGuard device (sold separately) via Bluetooth to create an Emergency Alert System. In an emergency seconds count. A locked smartphone can take too much time to call for help or your phone may be out of reach. With a push of a button, an alarm sounds on your phone, your contacts are notified, and 911 is there for backup. The SolusGuard device is a lightweight, discreet wearable safety device that pairs with the SolusGuard app to send instant emergency notifications when help is needed - at the push of a button. When you press the button on the device, your phone will sound a loud alarm, which can help to deter would-be attackers. SolusGuard also sends instant emergency notifications to your network of contacts that you need help, and the live map will show them where you are. If no one is available, or if they are not able to reach you after two minutes, your smartphone automatically calls 911 as a backup. This is one of the major differences between SolusGuard and all the others. Since SolusGuard communicates through the smartphone app, you are protected wherever there is cell phone coverage, with any cellular carrier. SolusGuard works in any country with 911 emergency services. SolusGuard incorporates a balance of features that provides a universal, affordable solution for businesses! Additional Features: • No worries if it's a false alarm - you can easily cancel the emergency from the SolusGuard App. • For contacts, you can pick whomever you want and as many people as you want. • The simple magnetic charger on the device means never having to worry about replacing a battery. • Since the SolusGuard device is discreet, no one knows you are wearing an alert device but you. Competitive Differences: • Traditional devices typically only work in a limited range, whereas SolusGuard works wherever there is cellular coverage. • Alerts go to your network of contacts, instead of a stranger in a call center. • Your network also has access to a dashboard of information on their app, including connection details and inactivity, something other devices do not have. • When you purchase SolusGuard, it is yours to keep and the monthly subscription is very competitive. There are no contracts or hidden fees. Subscriptions includes: • Unlimited Alerts • Unlimited number of emergency contacts • Patent pending 911 emergency response • SolusGuard low battery indicator • Inactivity tracking reporting • Chat function for support network members
