Alvira

Home security is broken. Together we can fix it. We at Alvira are reinventing what home security is, how it works and who can afford it. Our sensors prevents both fires and break-ins, powered by a hyper-local neighbourhood watch. Together we can fix a flawed industry and allow everyone the safety that they deserve. --- Today, home security is not something everyone can afford. A contract with the biggest home security company in Sweden, Verisure, starts at a whopping 369 kronor/month, which is more than your Spotify, Netflix and HBO subscriptions, combined. That contract only covers a small apartment, and I haven't even mentioned the upfront cost of over 4 000 kronor just to get started. Unfortunately this is pretty much the same deal as you’ll get from the other large providers too. We believe this is wrong; home security should not only be for the privileged, everyone should have the possibility to protect what they hold most dear; their home and family. This is why we started Alvira; to provide better protection against fires and break-ins to a fraction of the cost. To do this, we use cheap, but very reliable, sensors placed all around your home that detect both smoke and motion. If either is detected, residents instantly get notified through our app and can from there contact their closest neighbours. The neighbours who are home can then quickly, from a safe distance, investigate and alert the authorities. Every year around 100 lives are lost in residential fires in Sweden alone, affecting thousands of families. As if those numbers aren't alarming enough, more than one in every 100 households will be victims of a break-in every year. That's 1 % of all Swedish homes, every year. With our custom designed sensor, intuitive app and connected neighbourhood watch we will introduce a new, better solution that everyone can afford. We hope that within five years Alvira is a natural part of every Swedish home, just like a home insurance is today. Follow our journey here: http://www.getalvira.com or @AlviraHQ
