Portable call buttons with non portable receivers

These 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. They are triggered when you press a personal alarm button, some can also be triggered by sensors such as a fire alarm. The receiving unit is not portable, consequently it needs to be located in a position where it is most likely to be heard by your carer or relative.

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
