An alarm can be initiated directly by a user who feels they are in danger or through connected smart devices if the user is unable to do so directly. In both cases, central monitoring by Noonlight will attempt to text and call the user to confirm if emergency services are needed, and if they receive no response, the local emergency services will be contacted. Connected devices that can trigger an alarm include security systems, smart home devices, and technologies that detect car crashes or medical emergencies. However, Noonlight monitoring has some limitations as the video will explain.
