Intruders, power outages, or just heart attacks from devastating plumbing repair bills are just a few of the very real threats facing homeowners’ safety. Fortunately, this year’s Consumer Electronic Show in Las Vegas (CES) unveiled multiple smart home security products that allow homeowners to rest a little easier knowing they are safe, secure, and even prepared for the unimaginable. Some new products outright market themselves as home security products – like the myQ Secure View 3-in-1 Smart Lock with five secure ways to unlock and full day or night video visibility, or the Timeli Smart Video Safety Flashlight that doubles as a personal SOS – while other smart home products provide great home security features – like the Jackery Solar Mars Bot, your off-grid power hero, and Droplet, your smart home water sensor from Hydrific.

Come with me as we delve deeper into these smart home security products and discover new ways to protect our homes, families, and futures.

Timeli Smart Video Safety Flashlights saves you from more than just power outages

timeli smart video safety flashlight and all of its features: LED light, video camera, SOS alarm, two-way emergency communication, alarm, video recorder

New the CES and possibly the first of its kind, Timeli Smart Video Safety Flashlight records video, emits SOS, and connects you with personal security to dispatch help in the event of an emergency.

A personal safety innovation favorite at CES as a mom and homeowner, Timeli showcased a smart handheld personal safety device that combines a high-powered flashlight, HD video recording, an audible alarm, GPS tracking, and LTE live two-way emergency support to help you or a loved one act quickly when seconds matter.

With a quick press of the power button, the Timeli Smart Video Safety Flashlight turns on and recording begins to provide immediate visibility and documentation. Pressing and holding the SOS button triggers a loud alarm and uses LTE wireless to connect you with two-way voice to a UL-certified professional monitoring center, while simultaneously streaming live GPS location and HD video so trained professionals can verify the situation and coordinate an appropriate response, including contacting local emergency services if needed. Timeli is not a direct call to 911—SOS first connects you to professional monitoring for faster, more accurate help. Designed with privacy in mind, video is securely stored in the cloud for a limited time (up to ~30 days) and used only to support verification and emergency response.

The Timeli Smart Video Safety Flashlight may be the first of its kind and a new smart safety essential for homeowners, adventurers, or your vehicle’s glovebox.

The Timeli Smart Video Safety Flashlight is available for preorder at $299 and includes a 12-month security subscription.
