This spoken phrase activates emergency recording. The example shown uses code red.

Choose a phrase that is easy for you to remember but unlikely to be spoken accidentally.

Language

Select the language used for voice recognition.

Shake Sensitivity

Controls how easily sudden motion activates recording.

• Less sensitive requires stronger movement.
• More sensitive triggers recording with smaller movements.

Emergency Recording Length

• Minimum length: 10 seconds
• Maximum length: 60 seconds

Shorter clips upload faster. Longer clips capture more evidence.

Notifications

Notifications can be configured for:

• Manual Recording
• Voice Trigger
• Shake Trigger

Each trigger can send:

• Email alerts
• Automatic phone call alerts
• Sound alarm (local only – not sent to anyone)

Who Receives Alerts

Emergency alerts are sent to the trusted contacts configured in your SilentGuard dashboard.

• Email alerts include the video recording and GPS location.
• Phone call alerts notify contacts immediately of an emergency.

Sound alarm plays on your device only and is not sent to anyone.

Manual recordings are not sent to emergency contacts. They are stored securely in your account for your own access.
