This ensures the somewhat useful feature on your smart speaker or smart display is given a real boost into more a monitored alarm service, without needing sensors on every door and window, and a siren attached to an external wall, as a traditional system would require. This will put you through to trained agents from your Echo smart speaker or smart display that can dispatch the relevant emergency service, for example, police, the fire department, or an ambulance. This alone may not be worth paying for, but the feature we really think sets Alexa Guard Plus apart is the access to an emergency helpline that's available 24/7 and can be called simply by saying “Alexa, call for help”.

Alexa Guard can also switch on or any compatible smart lights to simulate occupancy and deter any would-be intruders, too. If you have an Amazon smart display in the same room you could also use the Echo Show as a home security camera and view a live feed from the smart display’s camera from the Alexa app if you want to see what’s happening in your home. If you have a compatible smart home alarm including those from Ring and ADT, the alerts can even be forwarded to the alarm company so they can investigate. 
You can then listen to the audio clip, or start an Alexa Drop In, which allows you to listen to your Amazon Smart speaker live if you want to hear what’s going on in that room without returning home. If Alexa Guard hears anything, the voice assistant will send an alert to the Alexa app on your smartphone, flagging to you something untoward is happening.
