How the 150-neighbor threshold works

Why we wait until 150 neighbors join before charging anyone, and what changes when we hit it.

4 min

HaevenX runs on a simple promise: for every 150 neighbors who join, we deploy one more dedicated patrol unit to your area. Until your block reaches 150, your account is free, no card on file, no charge.

Why 150?

One full-time patrol vehicle running 24/7 (multiple shifts, fuel, insurance, dispatch) costs roughly the equivalent of 150 households paying $99/month. Below 150 we'd be subsidizing the route from somewhere else; above 150, the math works and the patrol earns its keep.

What you see before activation

You can sign up today and use the free tier:

  • Read the AI Crime Heatmap for your area.
  • Browse the Forum and chat with neighbors who've also signed up.
  • Report incidents (visible to the community + future patrol).
  • Ask the AI Security Hub questions about your area.

The locked tabs (Live Patrol Feed, Live Camera Feeds, direct guard messaging) stay greyed out with a progress bar showing your neighborhood's current count ("82 of 150") and a Join the waitlist button.

Waitlist Banner

The Securing your neighborhood banner with a progress bar and waitlist button

The dashboard banner you see while your neighborhood is still building toward 150.

Joining the waitlist

Click Join the waitlist and you'll be asked to add a payment method, but no charge happens yet. Your card is saved, you're locked in at the launch rate ($99/mo or whatever your neighborhood agreed to), and you're counted toward the 150 threshold.

You can leave the waitlist any time before activation; we delete the saved card and remove you from the count.

Activation day

Once your neighborhood hits 150 active waitlist members:

  1. We push a notification to every waitlist member: "Your neighborhood has activated! First patrol rolls tonight."
  2. Your card is charged for the first month.
  3. Locked features unlock immediately, patrol GPS appears on the map, the live camera feed comes online, and you can message the on-duty guard directly.

What 300, 450, 600 looks like

Each additional 150 neighbors = one more patrol unit on rotation. So a 300-resident neighborhood gets 2 patrol vehicles (effectively eliminating gaps in coverage); 450 gives 3 (full round-the-clock); 600 gives 4 (response times measured in minutes, not tens of minutes).

Custom-pricing neighborhoods

Some neighborhoods (HOAs, gated communities, condo associations) negotiate a different rate or a different threshold with us. If your neighborhood does, the app shows your neighborhood-specific terms instead of the default $99/150.

Spread the word

Use the Invite Neighbors button on your dashboard to share a sign-up link. Every neighbor who joins moves the bar; getting from 80 to 150 usually takes one good neighborhood Facebook post.
