You may have received a call from AIVA and wondered what itโ€™s about. AIVA is our intelligent voice assistant that helps manage non-emergency signals, at any time of day or night.

These include things like:


โ€ข ๐‘ƒ๐‘œ๐‘ค๐‘’๐‘Ÿ ๐‘“๐‘Ž๐‘–๐‘™๐‘ข๐‘Ÿ๐‘’๐‘ 
โ€ข ๐ต๐‘Ž๐‘ก๐‘ก๐‘’๐‘Ÿ๐‘ฆ ๐‘™๐‘œ๐‘ค ๐‘ ๐‘–๐‘”๐‘›๐‘Ž๐‘™๐‘ 
โ€ข ๐ด๐‘“๐‘ก๐‘’๐‘Ÿ-โ„Ž๐‘œ๐‘ข๐‘Ÿ๐‘  ๐‘œ๐‘๐‘’๐‘›๐‘–๐‘›๐‘”๐‘ 
โ€ข ๐น๐‘Ž๐‘–๐‘™-๐‘ก๐‘œ-๐‘๐‘™๐‘œ๐‘ ๐‘’ ๐‘Ž๐‘™๐‘’๐‘Ÿ๐‘ก๐‘ 

These signals matter and need attention, but they donโ€™t always require an immediate armed response. Thatโ€™s where AIVA comes in.

๐–๐ก๐š๐ญ ๐ก๐š๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ž๐ง๐ฌ ๐ฐ๐ก๐ž๐ง ๐š ๐ง๐จ๐ง-๐ž๐ฆ๐ž๐ซ๐ ๐ž๐ง๐œ๐ฒ ๐ฌ๐ข๐ ๐ง๐š๐ฅ ๐œ๐จ๐ฆ๐ž๐ฌ ๐ข๐ง?

AIVA will start by calling the first key holder on your profile. If thereโ€™s no answer, sheโ€™ll move to the next key holder, and then the next, working through the full list.

As soon as a key holder answers, AIVA will guide them through a few simple voice prompts so they can acknowledge the alert and choose how it should be handled. Once a selection is made, AIVA takes care of the rest.

If no key holder answers, or no option is selected, the signal is then escalated to a human operator for intervention.

๐€ ๐ช๐ฎ๐ข๐œ๐ค ๐ง๐จ๐ญ๐ž ๐จ๐ง ๐ฏ๐ž๐ซ๐ข๐Ÿ๐ข๐œ๐š๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง

If one of the options is to cancel response, AIVA will ask for a verification password. This is simply the last four digits of the number sheโ€™s calling you on.


For example, if AIVA calls you on 041 401 2222, your verification password will be 2222.

AIVA plays an important role inside Atlas Security. By assisting with non-emergency signals, she helps our control room and armed response teams stay focused on emergencies where immediate action is needed.

Weโ€™ll continue sharing helpful info about AIVA so you know exactly what to expect when she calls.
