Get Smart Alerts about potential emergencies

Say “Alexa, I’m leaving” when you’re headed out the door. While you're away, if Alexa detects sounds that could be an intruder – like footsteps, doors closing, or glass breaking – she can play a siren on your Echo and send you a Smart Alert phone notification. Alexa can also notify you if she detects the sound of smoke alarms or carbon monoxide alarms.

Tapping a Smart Alert takes you to the Alexa app where you can play back what Alexa heard or Drop In for live audio. You can then call the Emergency Helpline to request emergency services or forward the alert to a supported security provider.
