Guard Llama – The Animal

Did you know that the definition of a Guard Llama is described in Wikipedia as “A llama, guanaco, alpaca or hybrid that is used in farming to protect sheep, goats, hens or other livestock from coyotes, dogs, foxes, and other predators? Llamas have a calm temperament and do not generally pose a threat to humans. They may appear less threatening to your neighbors or farm visitors than a large dog. Llamas do have to be socialized with people or adult llamas can become dangerous. They also do not actively challenge fencing which is a strong benefit many believe. Wow, we didn’t even know a thing like this existed!


Guard Llama – The Company

To make things even more interesting for Guard Llama’s all over the world in 2017 a personal security device company was featured on Shark Tank looking for investments. Guard Llama from their Twitter feed was a personal security device that dispatches the police to your exact GPS location with the push of a button. By the end of the pitch, they did get an investment offer at the time from Barbara Corcoran. In 2019 one of the original partners ran into legal issues. Ultimately the Shark Tank deal fell through. As of 2021 the Better Business Bureau lists the company Guard Llama as “Believed to be out of business”. Many customers had previously complained that they were unable to cancel their service.


TeamAlert – The Better Software Solution

Here at TeamAlert, we believe that Guard Llamas are great! The personal security device company maybe not so much. Well, what makes us different from Guard Llama’s here at TeamAlert? Unfortunately, we don’t look nearly as cute standing in a field but most importantly we do not believe in locking customers in a contract. This belief goes back to how we started. In the beginning, we started as a piece of software on your computer. This gave our customers a simple low-cost way to send an alert to another computer, phone, text recipient, or email account. From there, our customers have asked us for more and more features such as unlimited alert types and Bluetooth devices much like what Guard Llama was offering. TeamAlert works by offering optional hardware devices that can be purchased for affordable prices that work with the cloud service that is offered on a per-user basis with a low monthly fee. As a matter of fact, many of our features have come directly from our customers’ requests. Today TeamAlert can be found all across the United States and even in multiple countries around the world.
