TouchNot Pro is a smart tag designed to safeguard your belongings. Its compact, discreet case can attach to anything you want to protect. It has both touch and motion sensors onboard—when any of these are triggered, TouchNot Pro sounds a loud alarm and sends a notification to you and any other registered users. Its internal battery can last months on standby, letting you leave it where it’s needed for a long time without charging it.

Beyond that, it offers useful features, some of which are not found in existing products. It protects your privacy because it uses a suite of sensors instead of cameras. Easy-to-use, subscription-free Cloud IoT connectivity lets you use TouchNot Pro for years without any additional fees.

Protect What’s Precious

TouchNotPro goes further than other camera-based security systems, letting you attach a physical alarm to whatever objects you want. Thoughtful features like its auto-wake functionality, customizable scheduling, smart home integration, and a silent alarm mode all let you use it however you see fit. When the alarm is triggered, you can quickly deactivate it using a four-button PIN with TouchNot Pro’s physical buttons.

It can be used with or without the companion app, letting you use it in places where you don’t have nearby Wi-Fi. No matter the level of your technology skills, TouchNot Pro is simple for anyone to set up and fast to deploy.

An advanced, optional feature enables motion pattern detection:

Whether you’re a tourist who wants to protect their luggage in a hostel or a parent looking to discourage children from approaching household dangers like a gas stovetop, TouchNot Pro can give you increased peace of mind.
