Comcast is rolling out Xfinity Shield to eligible Xfinity Internet customers at no extra charge, including a WiFi Motion feature that detects movement by measuring radio-frequency changes between a compatible router and connected devices. Users can receive app alerts, choose devices, set schedules and configure pet-related settings. The feature is not professionally monitored; it sends notifications rather than arranging emergency response.
