#1 There are no required monthly fees
Shared Notification is all about sharing alerts with a selected group of homeowners, DIYers, students, researchers, and etc. We don’t charge any subscription or monthly fees for self-monitoring and data logging type of neighbourhood structure. Many of our platform integrations features are absolutely free.
After registering for a Shared Notification account, you can forget about outrageous cost of monitoring your homes and enjoy a more effective monitoring system – Neighbourhood Monitoring Centres (NMC).
#2 Shared-Notification works superbly in almost any neighbourhood
Shared-Notification understand that traditional Commercial Monitoring Centers are ineffective mostly due to long dispatch-time to the scene of the alert which can be considered meaningless deterrent. When unauthorize guest understands that your neighbour is protected by possibly legal gun-toting neighbours, the deterrent is self-evident.
#3 Dispatching-time is reduced to seconds
The reliance on reducing dispatching-time to service the alert was the primary purpose of Shared-Notification. Most people would be surprise to know that large amount of people at home in the day. Neighbourhood watch has been proven to be the most superior form of monitoring.
#4 Shared-Notification work seamlessly with many smart home devices
We approach smart home monitoring with a philosophy of being easy-to-implement and increasing the magnitude of deterrent level to the highest without infringing on our rights.
Shared-Notification is easy to integrations into your smart home system. If your smart home is capable of communicating with a REST based-sensor then most likely your smart home can form neighbourhood watch.
#5 There are currently five (5) neighbourhood watch structure to choose from
Any Shared-Notification neighbourhood structures is a great selection. Your choice is mostly depending on the type of community you’re in and how you interact with your community.
For those who are the leaders of their neighbourhood and is leading the drive to setup a Shared-Notification Neighbourhood Watch, a Private structure might be best.
For those who are more technologically savvy, an Exclusive neighbourhood structure might be best. All members in an Exclusive neighbourhood have the same Neighbourhood Identification (NID).
For those who just want to be included in a neighbourhood watch try an Open neighbourhood structure where your neighbour is determine by the propagation radius you selected. Don’t use a propagation radius too large because it defeats the purpose of Neighbourhood Monitoring Centre.
An Enhanced neighbourhood is a combination of Open and Exclusive neighbourhood structure. This allows you to limit your Open neighbourhood to a limited radius of your choice while belonging to another neighbourhood structure.
Data Logging neighbourhood structure is where individual neighbour doesn’t shared alert but only stores alerts on the cloud.
#6 Shared-Notification understand that it takes a village to effectively protect your home and neighbourhood
Shared-Notification understand that you and your family alone can’t effectively monitoring your home or community. Even with a Commercial Monitoring Centre (CMC) such as ADT or Brinks, it still does provide a better solution than neighbourhood watch.
#7 With the added features to QGroundControl, drones add another layer of deterrent
Software detects updates in network/neighbourhood structure and upload waypoint maps of the alert’s location to the drone. Ground Control Operator have the option for drone to take off providing real-time monitor alerts. The software is free to utilize as another tool in effectively monitoring your neighbourhood.
#8 Similar to ADT/Brink and others, anyone can form a Neighbourhood Monitoring Centre (NMC)
Instead of members in your neighbourhood paying an exorbitant amount for monthly monitoring, setup a SharedNotification Neighbourhood Watch or pay someone in your neighbourhood to locally monitoring your home which lessen the dispatching-time to inspect your home in the event of an alert.
#9 Shared-Notification only broadcast the information you want to tell your neighbours
You’re allow to choose your broadcast name which will be display to your neighbourhood watch. Your private information remains private. If your neighbourhood pose a high risk of retaliation, you have the option to only broadcast a non-specific address of the alert.
