How is RE:SURE GO different from dialling 999?

The key differentiators are the speed with which you are able to communicate with our response staff, and the quality of information, which is sent immediately, such as your GPS location, and videos of your immediate surroundings. This means that you can focus on your immediate safety while we work on deploying emergency services to your location.

When does RE:SURE GO track my GPS coordinates?

RE:SURE is able to track your coordinates whenever RE:SURE GO is put in standby mode. However – unless specifically instructed – the RE:SURE operators are not using this information in anyway up until an alarm is activated. RE:SURE neither tracks nor records your location unless you activate an alarm.  Once activated, RE:SURE GO will send your current GPS coordinates along with a predefined quantity of video clips. The most accurate coordinates are selected when dispatching authorities.

How quickly can I anticipate a response after I have activated RE:SURE GO?

You can expect that our team will evaluate your videos and GPS location within seconds of receiving the info and will immediately try to contact you. If the RE:SURE operators are unable to contact you, they will contact your nominated emergency contacts and/or the local emergency services if the information provided demands such a response.

What if I accidentally send a RE:SURE GO alert?

Don’t worry.  Disarm the alert using your unique PIN number. Our operators will respond anyway by calling you on your mobile number.  Please be prepared to answer your phone and provide your Safe Answer, and then advise the operator that it was a false alarm.  Your Safe Answer is provided as part of the activation process, and it is vitally important for you to remember and provide this information when requested.  Failure to provide the correct Safe Word would result in authorities being dispatched to your location.

Are the videos stored on my Smartphone?

No, the videos are sent to our secure servers and to the RE:SURE Control Centre, where the RE:SURE operators will assess the information as soon as it is received. Crucially – for evidence purposes – the videos are removed from your phone when they are sent to the RE:SURE Control Centre. They are not stored on your phone for retrieval.

Can I access the videos taken by RE:SURE GO?

Yes. You can access all your alerts by logging into your account on this website. Videos received by RE:SURE GO are securely encrypted and stored on our secure servers. In the event that information is required for legal purposes, please have the local authorities (police, legal prosecution team, etc.) contact us at go-support@resure.co. They can also call us at 01 691 7100 (from Ireland) or 028 8676 1183 (from the UK).

Is there a contract?

We apply on a 30 day rolling contract, which means you can stop your subscription at any time. We are confident that our customer with stay with us because of RE:SURE GO’s fantastic functionality, our exceptional customer service and the peace of mind that RE:SURE GO will give all of our customers.

My phone has two cameras, which does RE:SURE GO use?

You can chose between which of the two cameras you want to use. While we recommend the rear camera, as it has a higher chance of capturing a face, the front camera is useful for the likes of taxi drivers.

How does using RE:SURE GO affect my phone's battery life?

RE:SURE GO does have an effect on your phones battery life. This is mainly due to GPS usage. When using RE:SURE GO, the faster you are moving, the faster your phone battery will be used up (this is because the GPS “pings” more often). This means that in a car – if you don’t have the phone plugged in – the battery may be used up quite quickly. Our advice is to limit usage to point-to-point scenarios. i.e. do not use RE:SURE GO all day, rather use it when you think you may be at some kind of risk.

How does using RE:SURE GO affect my data consumption?

Data usage is not really affected by using RE:SURE GO. In particular general usage will not affect data at all, as the information is sent via GPS, not data. In a scenario though where you do create an alert though, the sending of the videos will eat into your data consumption. A 10 second video is in the region of 200kb in size.
