As an app on your phone, Eyerus enables you to indicate how safe or unsafe you feel in your current surroundings through the use of four safety status modes – green alert mode for when you feel totally safe; amber alert mode for when you feel uneasy and intimidated; red alert mode for when you are in escalated danger; and finally blue alert mode immediately dispatches private security services to your location. These safety status modes enable your loved ones to know you are safe and assist you when you need it most.
