Swann, a global manufacturer of do-it-yourself security products, has announced the general availability of SwannShield, an AI-powered home security voice assistant.
Compatible with Swann Security’s SwannBuddy4K and EVO Video Doorbells, SwannShield is designed to engage with visitors in real-time across different scenarios, from package deliveries and identifying guests to deterring potential criminals.
“Through thoughtful design and careful consideration of user feedback, we are delivering 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 democratization of AI for everyday consumers, the SwannShield Voice Assistant sets a new benchmark for intelligent home protection and reflects our commitment to continuous improvement and customer satisfaction,” says Alex Talevski, CEO of Swann.
Swann explains that its SwannShield uses the latest adaptive generative AI technology and user inputs to respond to visitors with natural, realistic, human-like interactions that are live and not prerecorded when they press the doorbell. When activated, homeowners can benefit from the first smart doorbell complete with an AI voice assistant that can speak to visitors or intruders on their behalf with a realistic voice in an American accent—even when they are not present.
The company asserts that it is easy to personalise SwannShield via the settings in the app. Those settings include activating the solution at the times you need it most using night and/or away ‘modes,’ telling it the address of your home, sharing the names of residents, and providing 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.
