In an emergency you can use the smart monitored panic button to send a panic alert to your Cairde and the Gardai. Our system monitors and coordinates all responses. Both you and all those responding to your alert will be continually informed about who is coming and how far away they are until the issue is resolved. This means nobody feels isolated or alone while dealing with emergency situations.

If you need help you will also have the Cairde panic button to get help immediately from local people and the Gardai. Other cameras simply alert you that you have a problem. Cairde alerts you and gets you an immediate response to your problem!

7. Other IOT devices

Many people worry about loved ones who live alone. They want to ensure their safety while still respecting their independence and privacy. With Cairde you can! By simply placing a Cairde smart plug on your loved ones kettle you will be alerted if they fail to put the kettle on in the morning or change their normal pattern of behaviour with the kettle in any significant way. With your Cairde close by you will have someone ready and able to help immediately.

Coming soon analytics screen

8. Analytics

Cairde communities will be able to see exactly what is going on in their neighbourhood. With Cairde analytics we will be able to tell members the numbers of alerts being generated in their neighbourhood and the kinds of events taking place. The more informed you are about what crime is taking place the better placed you are to deal with it.
