A safer doorstep for you and the people you care for

For individuals

Soter is designed for individuals who want safer doorstep visibility without turning care into surveillance.

For the person at home, Soter creates time and context: who is at the door, what they want, and whether anything needs a response. They can choose to handle the visit themselves, involve someone they trust, or let Soter manage it without interrupting them at all. The household stays in control of what is shared and retained.

What can Soter do for families

Stay informed

Visitor alerts

When someone comes to your family member's door, you can know about it — with context, not just a motion ping. Alerts tell you who the visitor appears to be, what they said they wanted, so you can tell a routine courier drop-off from something that genuinely needs your attention at a glance.

You choose what reaches you. Routine visits can simply be logged, expected visitors handled without a sound, and only unknown or important callers turned into alerts — so a notification from Soter stays meaningful instead of becoming noise you learn to ignore.

The full picture

Understand what happens

Every visit is recorded with its time, purpose, and outcome: the pharmacy delivery left by the planter, the neighbour who called in, the cold caller who was politely turned away. If your parent mentions that "someone came by yesterday", you can see exactly who, when, and what happened.

A shared, factual record takes the guesswork out of conversations about the door. History is attached to the household, and you can control what is kept and for how long.

Care access

Trusted visits

Regular and expected visitors — support workers, cleaners, the district nurse, the gardener who comes every second Tuesday — can be set up in advance. Soter recognises them and handles their arrival smoothly, rather than treating them as strangers.

Where the home has a compatible smart lock, trusted access can go further: once Soter has verified who is at the door, you or the occupant can let them in remotely, with every entry tied to a verified visit and logged.

From anywhere

Remote reassurance

A daughter in another city, a father at his own front door: Soter is built for families separated by a suburb, a city, or an ocean. The carer app gives you the doorstep picture from wherever you are — alerts in the moment, and the visit history whenever you want to check in.

Coverage doesn't depend on one person's phone. If you're in a meeting or on a plane, alerts can escalate to the next nominated contact, so someone your family trusts always hears about the visits that matter.
