The app, Eyerus, allows a person in danger to record evidence of violence that will immediately be stored on a cloud.

This evidence can then be shared with law enforcement when a case is opened even if the victim’s phone is lost or stolen. It also allows for private security to be dispatched to where the victim is located.

“I’m excited about the data protection of this app as we know evidence is one of the key issues when reporting crimes and that dockets and information go missing. The fact that this can be escalated above the SAPS especially in cases where the case is high profile or politically affiliated, we know that dockets go missing and tampered with. [This will also help] with the rates of deaths in the LGBTI community and intimate partner violence,” said Motene.

The third stage is red alert mode which activates live video recording which is shared with your pre-assigned guardians and uploaded on a cloud while also sharing your location with them while the fourth level is blue alert mode which dispatches private security to your location in urban areas of all nine provinces.
