Smart Home Protection LLC has unveiled Timeli, a groundbreaking handheld safety device that combines flashlight, HD video recording, GPS tracking, and direct emergency dispatch communication into a single, intuitive tool. The device represents a significant leap forward in personal safety technology, addressing the growing need for comprehensive protection that travels with users wherever they go.
Beyond Traditional Safety Tools
Timeli tackles a pressing problem in personal safety: the limitations of existing solutions. While 38 percent of women report that safety concerns restrict their daily activities and 32 percent have faced situations where they couldn’t reach help, current tools like pepper spray and location trackers often fall short in critical moments. Smart Home Protection designed Timeli to bridge this gap by consolidating multiple safety functions into one familiar form factor—the flashlight.
“Timeli was created to bridge the gap between fear and action,” said David Szekeres, Founder of Smart Home Protection LLC. “Traditional tools are reactive and limited. We designed Timeli to deter threats instantly, capture critical evidence, and connect people to professional help in real time.”
The device operates on a simple principle: one press activates the flashlight and video recording, while pressing and holding the red SOS button initiates a comprehensive safety sequence that includes alarm activation, live video streaming to dispatchers, and two-way voice communication with UL-certified monitoring professionals.
The Power of Video Verification
What sets Timeli apart is its integration with video-verified emergency dispatch through partner RapidSOS. This technology transforms emergency response by providing dispatchers with real-time visual information rather than relying solely on voice descriptions. Industry data shows that video-verified alarms can reduce police response times by up to 75 percent, as monitoring centers can immediately classify incidents as urgent and deploy appropriate resources.
“Real time visual information gives 911 the clarity needed to classify an incident as urgent and respond faster with the right resources,” notes RapidSOS. This verification process also reduces false dispatches and improves outcomes, with case studies showing arrests in situations where traditional alarms produced no results.
Designed for Everyday Carry
At just over seven inches long and seven ounces—roughly the size and weight of a smartphone—Timeli fits comfortably in pockets, purses, or on lanyards. The device doesn’t require a smartphone to function, operating independently through cellular, GPS, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth connectivity. However, it pairs seamlessly with companion iOS and Android apps for customization and additional features.
Battery life addresses real-world usage patterns with up to two years of standby time, 72 hours of on-the-go power, and over six hours of active use. The device doubles as a portable power bank, capable of charging phones while maintaining enough reserve power for emergency situations—it stops charging external devices at 50 percent battery to preserve up to three hours of emergency functionality.
Flexible Safety Support
Timeli’s monitoring service extends beyond traditional emergency scenarios. Users can activate the SOS function whenever they feel uneasy or want additional reassurance, connecting them with live dispatchers who remain available until the user feels safe. This service operates without additional charges beyond the monthly subscription, making professional safety support accessible for various situations from late-night walks to solo travel.
The companion app allows users to customize recording quality, light brightness, and alarm volume, tailoring the device to specific needs and preferences. Cloud video storage ensures that recorded footage remains accessible even if the device is damaged or lost during an incident.
Recognition and Availability
Timeli earned recognition as an Honoree in the Mobile Devices, Accessories & Apps category of the CES Innovation Awards Program for CES 2026, highlighting its innovative approach to personal safety technology.
“We built Timeli to address the modern realities of personal safety,” said Jeromy Stallings, Co-Founder of Timeli. “Security systems and video doorbells have evolved to protect our homes, but nothing comparable exists for personal, on-the-go safety.”
The device is priced at $299.95 and includes a 12-month subscription to the monitoring and dispatch service, which continues at $9.95 per month after the initial period. More details and ordering information are available at www.timeli.com.
Smart Home Protection LLC positions Timeli as the beginning of a new category in personal safety, one that empowers individuals to navigate uncertain situations with professional support literally at their fingertips.
