No Cameras. No Microphones.

Know when something may be wrong without putting a camera in their home.

Some families want reassurance. Most parents do not want surveillance. Puffin Guard gives both sides a better middle ground.

The Problem

The gap before care becomes necessary.

Cameras and live activity dashboards can make home feel less like home. They solve the family worry by taking privacy away from the person living there.

The Safety Net

A backup that does not change daily life.

Puffin Guard does not show what someone is doing. It only checks whether normal movement has happened by the expected time, then contacts the person first before escalating.

Alert Flow

Quiet when life looks normal. Loud when someone should check.

Puffin Guard is not a live activity feed. It waits for the expected check-in window, gives your loved one a chance to respond, then escalates to the people they chose.

Everyday movement

The sensor notices normal movement in a hallway, living room, or kitchen. No cameras, microphones, or wearable devices.

Scheduled check-in

Most of the time it sleeps. On the chosen schedule, usually daily, it connects over WiFi and sends the latest check-in.

Person first

If expected movement is missing, Puffin Guard sends an SMS and makes a phone call. If they check in, everything resets silently.

Trusted contacts

If they cannot respond within the grace period, family, friends, neighbours, or carers are alerted by SMS, email, and phone call.

Is It Right?

Built for capable people who want a backup, not monitoring.

Puffin Guard sits in the gap between doing nothing and full care. It is for families who want someone to know if normal daily movement stops, without making home feel watched.

Good fit

  • Your parent or loved one is still capable and living independently.
  • They do not want cameras, microphones, wearables, or daily reporting.
  • You want a quiet safety net in case they do not wake up, have a fall, or cannot reach their phone.
  • They already have a fall watch or pendant, but sometimes forget to wear it or charge it.
  • You want family or trusted contacts notified, not automatic emergency services.

Not the right only solution

  • They need immediate fall detection or urgent emergency response.
  • They need 24/7 professional monitoring or clinical care.
  • The home has no reliable WiFi or trusted contacts who can respond.
  • You need live activity tracking, room-by-room reports, or a camera feed.
  • They are not aware of, or do not consent to, having the sensor in their home.

Useful for

  • Families who have ruled out indoor cameras
  • Parents who want privacy and control
  • Homes where a single quiet daily safety check is enough
  • Aged-care conversations where dignity matters

Not designed for

  • Watching live video or checking what room someone is in
  • Recording sound, video, or detailed activity timelines
  • Replacing emergency services or a monitored pendant

A private safety net for someone who still wants independence.

One small sensor. No cameras or wearables. Family only hears when something may be wrong.
