Chicago firm Ubiety Technologies has launched a plug-in device that add presence verification to existing security systems.

The AI presence verification specialist says Halo Connect brings security intelligence to homes and businesses by augmenting existing security systems without integration into security panels.

It delivers real-time, automated presence verification insights directly to homeowners, dealers and monitoring centres, without relying on integration with expensive panel hardware.

Designed to enhance situational awareness, reduce false alarms and improve emergency response, Halo Connect is said to represent a breakthrough in home security accessibility and efficiency.

Halo Connect brings intelligence to 25 million existing residential security systems, and doesn’t require any additional professional installations. It simply plugs into any standard wall outlet to activate Ubiety’s AI-powered presence verification and adaptive alarm response capabilities. This allows homeowners, renters and businesses to benefit from intelligent security insights without complex setup or reliance on existing security infrastructure.

Halo Connect helps security providers deliver adaptive, AI-powered security intelligence with little operational friction. By integrating presence verification and adaptive alarm response, it enhances monitoring, helping security companies reduce false alarms, improve response accuracy and build trust with law enforcement.

The low-cost device enables software integration and deployment opportunities to make additional services stackable with software only deployments. Ubiety is working on software integrations that will continue advancing presence detection capabilities and value-added services for homeowners, security providers and law enforcement. 

For consumers, it provides a security experience that prioritises awareness over reaction, ensuring families and businesses are better protected, without the burden of unnecessary emergency calls or intrusive surveillance.

It detects and verifies who is home in real time, improving security insights for homeowners and monitoring centres. And it enhances security without relying on video surveillance, offering privacy-conscious protection.

Adaptive alarm response ensures emergency responders only engage when there’s a verified threat.

Professional monitoring companies can quickly integrate AI-driven security intelligence into their offerings, expanding services without costly hardware upgrades.

“Halo Connect is a game-changer for home security,” said Keith Puckett, CEO of Ubiety Technologies. “We believe security should be accessible, intelligent and effortless, not just for homeowners, but for the entire industry. With a simple plug-and-play design, Halo Connect empowers consumers with real-time security insights and helps security providers modernise their alarm response strategies. This is a major step forward in making security smarter, not just louder.”
