Personal safety for journalists and crews in the field
A photographer at a demonstration, a reporter on a doorstep, a camera crew abroad. Media workers are more and more often threatened while they work. The newsroom should know where they are and hear it when things go wrong.

On location
A demonstration that turns
Step 1 · On location
The photographer is at work
A demonstration in the city centre. The Cuebly app is on the phone, a paired button on the camera strap.
Step 2 · Tension
The mood turns
Part of the crowd turns on the press. The photographer is pushed away from the colleagues.
Step 3 · Alarm
SOS without looking
A hardware shortcut on the phone, or a paired button, raises the alarm without taking out the camera.
Step 4 · Response
Someone listens in
A silent voice connection opens, so your control room hears what is happening without anyone noticing. The editor on duty and the crew nearby get the alarm with live location, and the control room can send someone.
Step 5 · After
A record of what happened
The log shows the time and place, and the recording of the voice connection can serve as evidence for a report to the police.
Why it fits
Made for work that moves
A timer, if you want one
For risky assignments a check-in timer can run too. Missed check-ins raise the alarm by themselves, also without signal.
Across borders
Non-steered SIMs in devices pick the strongest network in each European country.
The newsroom sees the team
Live location of the crew during an assignment, and who is on the way to help.
Discreet
A button or shortcut raises the alarm while the hands stay on the camera.
