LOS ANGELES, June 28, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- YI Technology, Inc., a global provider of advanced, intelligent imaging technologies and products, today announced a strategic partnership with Noonlight, a connected safety technology company.
YI Home is well known for its diversified offering of affordable, DIY cameras and devices connecting customers with their homes and families through real-time video and audio. Now, with the help of Noonlight, YI will go one step further, giving customers the ability to seamlessly dispatch emergency services to their homes with a tap of a button – no 911 call required. This solves a significant pain point for customers of self-monitored home security products, which currently lack the ability to notify public safety agencies if an event in the home requires emergency assistance.
Noonlight’s platform gives connected home companies like YI a suite of tools to offer enhanced emergency response and monitoring features to their customers. YI’s rollout of Noonlight 24/7 Emergency Response replaces the standard e911 offering, where the burden is still on the consumer to talk to 911 operators. Instead, YI’s motion alerts and live video feeds will be equipped with the option to instantly involve Noonlight’s certified emergency dispatchers, who coordinate with local safety agencies and first responders on customers’ behalf to ensure the situation is promptly handled.
“The ability to monitor and protect the things and people that matter is the single most important factor in purchasing a camera for the home,” said Sean Da, CEO of YI. “Partnering with Noonlight to offer 24/7 Emergency Response greatly enhances the level of protection and comfort our products extend to our customers.”
“We’re thankful for the opportunity to support YI in protecting and comforting their customers,” said Nick Droege, co-founder of Noonlight. “Emergency response capabilities should come standard on every connected device and application. And we’re proud to play a role in making important features like 24/7 Emergency Response accessible and easy to integrate for partners like YI.”
YI Home will roll out 24/7 Emergency Response features in July.
