Calling for help within the same house

Image of Calling for help within the same house These products, also called paging systems can raise an alarm or trigger a pager a short distance away, within the range of an average house or garden. Thus they may alert a carer or relative that you require help. Some are triggered when you press a personal alarm button or pull a pullcord, others are triggered by sensors such as a fire alarm.

Important safety features that these units may not provide include:


  • They do not connect to 24 hour monitoring service which can provide a response at any time, on any date

  • They may not have automatic safety mechanisms in place to alert you if their batteries fail or there is a mains power cut

  • These units personal triggers may not use industry standard radio frequencies and consequently could suffer interference, failing to trigger the alarm
