Description
Burglar Deterrent is designed to help protect your home from unwanted visitors when you are out. It will give the illusion that your house is occupied using realistic audio to deter potential intruders. A would-be thief will be convinced someone is performing daily activities such as cleaning, talking, laughing, working in the home office and preparing food. This will compliment your existing security arrangements, giving you an extra level of reassurance.
Choose the environment that suits the location of your Echo device:
- Living room (Sitting Room, Lounge, Den, or any general room)
- Kitchen (Dining Area)
- Bathroom (Washroom, Shower)
- Home Office (Study)
- Barking Dog (guard dog)
HOW TO USE
When you open Burglar Deterrent you will be prompted to select an environment, or to save time you can simulate it directly by saying:
“Alexa, ask Burglar Deterrent to protect the kitchen.” (or another environment)
The audio will continuously play until you say “Alexa, stop”.
If you wish the audio to play for a specified duration, once the sound is already playing just say:
“Alexa, set a sleep timer for (however long you wish)”
WHAT CAN I SAY?
Here are some example phrases you can say to jump straight into the audio environments:
