First announced a few months ago, Swann has announced the general availability of SwannShield – the world’s first AI-powered home security voice assistant.
SwannShield uses the latest adaptive generative AI technology and user instructions to respond to visitors with natural, realistic, human-like interactions when they press the doorbell. It engages with visitors in real-time across different scenarios, from package deliveries and identifying guests to deterring potential criminals.
Compatible with Swann’s industry-leading SwannBuddy4K Video Doorbell, SwannShield is an AI voice assistant that can speak to visitors or intruders for you with a realistic voice in an Australian accent — even when you are not present.
It’s easy to personalise SwannShield via the settings in the app: including activating it at the times you need it using night and/or away ‘modes’, tell it the address of your home, the names of residents, and instructions for where deliveries should be placed. You can also set the demeanour of responses, choosing between polite, disinterested or aggressive to adequately deal with the type and nature of visitors to your home.
SwannShield has security and privacy built-in and can effectively manage conversational exchanges across various scenarios. Its response accuracy and resilience safeguards against unanticipated interactions and adversarial requests. It is optimised to facilitate easy updates and future scalability and will allow Swann to personalise settings, like defining the AI’s personality. You can also access transcripts of every conversation in app to see if there are any security irregularities or concerns.
Alex Talevski, CEO of Swann said, “Through thoughtful design and careful consideration of user feedback, we aim to deliver an AI-driven voice assistant that seamlessly integrates into users’ lives while providing enhanced protection and peace of mind. Representing an exciting step forward in the democratisation of AI for everyday consumers, the SwannShield™ sets a new benchmark for intelligent home protection and reflects our commitment to continuous improvement and customer satisfaction.”
SwannShield is available free of charge within the Swann Security App and can be used in conjunction with the SwannBuddy4K Video Doorbell via an over the air (OTA) download of the latest firmware. SwannShield will become compatible with more Swann products in the months ahead.
