Arlo Technologies has unveiled its new Arlo Safe personal safety solution in the US, the Arlo Safe Button, which is similar to a new device Swann Communications is set to launch in Australia

It’s currently unknown if the Arlo device will be released in Australia.

The new device can be used to alert safety experts, who will then rapidly send emergency services to the user’s location at any moment, day or night.

It’s small enough to fit inside a hand, pocket, or be clipped to a keychain, and has a built in lanyard loop.

It uses Bluetooth to communicate with the accompanying app on a smartphone.

The app provides one touch emergency response, as well as access to live safety experts 24/7, Family Safety (for knowing where family members are located), and Vehicle Crash Detection and Response, which expediates emergency response in the event of an accident.

Users will gain access to customise their profile, as well as tools in the app for sharing critical information with first responders.

The device has been awarded a 2023 Good Design Award by The Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design, and the European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies.

The device is currently available for U$29.99 from the official Arlo website. As there is no news yet on an Australian release, pricing has not yet been revealed.
