COURAGEOUS LOCAL MAN OFFERS HOPE TO OTHERS -
After a massive stroke I spent five months in
hospital. Although told I would never walk again without assistance, my
main fear was falling over and being unable to get up again. My wife found it very difficult to even go to the shops. So, searching the internet I discovered a small, portable, battery or mains alarm remote camera. It comes with a remote key fob, that I can activate if I fall. Not only can my wife hear
everything the camera hears, she can also see
everything the camera sees, even in total darkness. - ■ The Simeam also incorporates a motion detector, so i f anyone enters without my knowledge the camera will ring my wife’s / friend’s mobile phone and allows everything to be heard that’s going on and - then sends very clear images of the intruder. ’The image is sent INSTANTLY and i f her phone is off for any reason it will contact
up to nine other numbers that 1 choose.
A smoke sensor alarm can be installed witti it and / or a window sensor. Any smoke will set off the camera. It will ring the mobiles then send the images. No more false; alarms. You can actually see for yourself what is happening as it happens. ' > Because this is a British service and set up, I know any problem is only a local phone call away ’They also monitor for you.
