Founded in 2006 and based in Cambridge, AlertMe.com the provider of people-friendly home security, is launching an intelligent way for people to directly protect, control and keep a close eye on their homes, wherever they may be, by mobile phone and the Internet.
AlertMe is an intuitive home monitoring system that can easily be set up within an hour, without the need for tools, drilling, wiring or waiting for servicemen to turn up.
People are then in complete control of their home security; they can personalise this wireless Alarm for their own concerns and to suit their lifestyle, whether they need to accommodate pets and visiting guests or a cleaner.
The direct alerting system, via text message, email or phone call, means people are no longer at the mercy of alarm call centres, or the fear that strangers in the street will ignore their noisy siren.
Friends, neighbours and family can be immediately alerted about incidents such as break-ins or fires and can take immediate action, which means people can avoid false alarms, as well as the resulting penalties and blacklisting by the police.
AlertMe offers security services and more, allowing people to further personalise it to fit with their lifestyle. It can inform them about normal activity, enabling them to check their home is OK while on holiday, or that children are home safely etc.
AlertMe will be available from January 2008 and is priced at £399 for the comprehensive kit in our picture, plus £10 per month for the service; this includes 24/7 monitoring, alerts, mobile SIM card for backup communications, automatic software updates, battery replacement alerts and customer support.
