BuddyGuard Flare

Let me guess – this is a smart smoke detector?

No, this is much more interesting... The sci-fi-looking Flare is an AI-powered home-security system designed to take the safeguarding of your house, family, pets and belongings to a whole new level.

Oh yeah? In what way?

The Flare utilises a range of sensors and a learning technology called AudioIntel to analyse each face, sound and situation in your home, 24/7, before taking action (if needed). Because it’s rocking face and voice recognition, the Flare can distinguish between those who live in your house and any unwanted visitors.

So it’ll watch me when I’m at home?

No, the Flare has a PrivacyGuard and will cover its lens when you’re at home. When you leave, the eye opens and security detail resumes, with sound and motion captured by the HD camera and mic combo.

Can I keep an eye on my home while I’m at work?

Via the BuddyGuard smartphone app, you can remotely view any space the Flare is monitoring. Do you live in a big house with various entrances? Connect multiple Flares to ensure blanket coverage.

I have a lady who comes round to do the cleaning. Will it recognise her?

Aside from your partner, kids and assorted pets, you can add whoever you want to your Security Circle once you’re logged onto the app. So yes, your cleaner (gardener, DIY man, etc) can come and go without fear of setting off the alarm.

This sounds really handy. When can I get my hands on one?

The BuddyGuard Flare is available for pre-order now, with shipping due to start in November.
