How it works

Place it on a shelf

Put the sensor in a hallway, living room, or kitchen, wherever your loved one passes through each day. It uses passive infrared to detect movement, the same technology in outdoor sensor lights.

Life continues normally

Your loved one doesn't do anything differently. No buttons to press, no app to use, nothing to wear or remember. The sensor quietly records movement and checks in over WiFi on the chosen schedule.

Get alerted if needed

If expected movement isn't detected, we reach out to your loved one first by SMS and phone call. They can check in right from the message. If they don't respond, we contact the people they trust so someone can check on them. Notification timing follows the chosen schedule and grace period. See the full alert flow

Runs forever, quietly

Swap the batteries once a year, like a smoke detector. We'll email you when they're getting low. No charging, no maintenance, no monthly fiddling.

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.

Common questions

No. The sensor detects movement automatically. Your loved one just lives their life normally. No buttons to press, no app to use, nothing to remember.

Absolutely not. Puffin Guard uses a passive infrared sensor to detect motion. There are no cameras, no microphones, and no way for anyone to see or hear what's happening inside the home.

Medical alert pendants and watches are designed for immediate emergency response — press a button (or trigger fall detection) and get connected to help within seconds. They do that job well.

Puffin Guard does something different. It checks for expected everyday movement, automatically. No button to press, nothing to wear, nothing to charge. Many families use both: the pendant or watch for emergencies, and Puffin Guard as a daily safety net that covers the gaps — overnight, or any time a wearable isn't on.

Yes, the sensor connects to your loved one's home WiFi to send scheduled check-ins. Most homes with an internet connection will work fine.

If the WiFi or internet goes down, we'll detect that the sensor has stopped checking in and let you know so you can look into it. The sensor uses very little bandwidth and doesn't interfere with normal internet use.

The sensor runs on batteries, so a power cut won't stop it. But it does need WiFi to check in. If the internet goes out and the sensor can't check in, we'll detect that it's gone offline and send you an alert so you're aware. Your safety net is never silently broken.

The system can be easily paused from the dashboard before they leave. When they're back, just re-enable it. No alerts will be sent while it's paused.

Yes. There are no lock-in contracts and no cancellation fees. Your first 12 months of service are included free with the sensor. After that, you can cancel anytime from your dashboard. You keep the sensor hardware.

Yes. Some families place sensors in multiple rooms or in separate homes. Each sensor is monitored independently, so if one goes offline you'll know exactly which one. You can manage all your sensors from a single dashboard.

No. Puffin Guard does not contact emergency services. It notifies the people your loved one trusts: family, friends, neighbours, or carers. They decide what to do next, including calling 000 if needed.

For direct emergency response, a monitored medical alert pendant is designed for that. Many families use both: the pendant for emergencies, and Puffin Guard as a daily safety net for everything else.

We offer a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. If Puffin Guard isn't the right fit, contact us and we'll arrange a full refund. No questions asked. See our Refund & Return Policy.

One sensor. One less thing keeping you up at night.

Quick setup. Your loved one doesn't need to do a thing. If it's not right, return it within 30 days for a full refund.
