We all know the importance of burglar alarm
systems to keep our belonging safe, or even having enough smoke
detectors to alert us to a possible fire. How many of us carry cell
phones because we want to be able to call for assistance in an emergency?
However, there are portable security devices that provide protection
against the threat of bodily harm or can call for medical assistance
with the touch of a button. A personal security alarm is a great
choice for everyone from college students to the elderly.
For aging parents living alone, a sudden fall
or illness can be devastating if they are unable to get to the
phone to call 9-1-1. They could be alone for hours, or maybe days,
without being able to call for help. A portable medical alarm
can provide piece of mind. A simple push of a button can bring
emergency personnel. Most of these devices are worn around the
neck, and feature a pendant unit with a button that triggers an
automated phone call when activated. This type of elderly alarm
can contact the caregiver’s cell phone and relay a prerecorded
message that help is needed. These units can be purchased outright,
or can be rented for a monthly fee from the manufacturer. Some
alarms can be linked to a monitoring centre. A personal medical
alarm is great for the elderly or someone at home with a chronic
illness.
If your son or daughter is going away to college,
a personal alarm can protect them against threats of bodily harm.
These small alarms can be attached to a keychain or clipped onto
clothing. They emit a very loud piercing siren when activated
that will scare away the threatening parties and alert others
to the situation. These types of panic alarms are helpful for
protecting joggers or anyone out late at night, from potential
harm.
Home security can include devices that protect
both your health and safety. A personal alarm can help summon
help quickly during medical emergencies, but it is still very
important to have some type of house alarm system, with or without
24/7 security monitoring, to help keep your loved ones and possessions
safe from intruders. A burglar is less likely to break into houses
that have visible surveillance systems.
