Shield is Different
Here's one example of our attention to detail and emphasis on security: the window sensor.
Most alarms have one sensor that is used for doors and windows. This is bad design. Door sensors have a delay, for you to enter your code, before they alert the monitoring station. We believe that there's nothing secure about giving someone a 30 second head start when they crawl through your window.
Unlike our competitors, our door and window sensors aren't the same. We have specific window sensors, that alert the second the window is cracked.
Seamless Design
Shield won’t intrude upon your life but will stop anyone who tries.
Our simple pin pad blends effortlessly with the rest of your decor.
Our door and window sensors are 50% smaller than most of the industry.
The Shield Hub is hidden away in your closet near your router. It uses custom encrypted wireless communication to talk to the sensors.
No Power, No Internet, No Problem
You're ready for anything and everything.
Comes standard with battery backup.
Doesn't need a landline since it uses the internet connection you already have.
Verizon wireless cellular backup come standard on Shield Elite.
Cellular backup available for Shield Basic, as an optional add-on.
Open Platform
Shield Plays Well with Others
Don't get boxed into one provider: Shield works with thousands of products, already.
In addition to our propriety, secure, encrypted wireless sensors, Shield speaks the open home automation standard: Z-Wave.
Integrate your GE or Aeon Labs Smart Switch, GoControl, Trane, or Honeywell Smart Thermostat, and your Kwikset, Yale, or Schlage Smart Lock.
Effortless Installation
Shield Sensors are paired before they are shipped to you, so there's no complicated setup.
1. Plug it into your router.
2. Plug it into a wall socket
3. Download our app
Now your home is protected, connected, and future forward.
