Safety at Home - Sensors
Forestcare can offer various sensors that link to a lifeline home unit. These sensors can help to manage risks within the home and enable vulnerable people to live safely independent for longer.
Sensors include:
| Wireless Passive Infra Red (P.I.R)
This sensor will detect movement or lack of it within the home environment. |
| Wireless Smoke Detector
This sensor will detect smoke and fire and send an alert through to the Forestcare control centre. |
| Flood Detector
Similar to the smoke detector but will send an alert through if it detects water on the floor, for example, if a tap has been left running or a sink or bath is overflowing. |
| Falls Detector
Again a sensor attached to the lifeline will send an alert through if excessive tilt is recorded. |
| Temperature Extreme Sensor
These are designed to provide early warning of potentially hazardous temperatures which can monitor high and low temperatures as well as a rapid rise, for example, if a cooker is left on. |
| Bogus Caller Button
An alarm button can be fitted near the main door to provide additional re-assurance when you are opening the door to people. |

Door Entry/Exit Sensor
Provides an early warning by alerting the 24 hour response centre that the user has left their home and not returned within a predetermined time parameter.
|
| Sounder Beacon
Offers both visual and loud audible signals when a sensor or telephone is activated, ideal for the hard of hearing. |
| Bed/chair Occupancy Sensor
Provides an early warning by alerting the 24 hour response centre that the user has left their bed and not returned within a pre-determined time period.
This may be due, for example, to a fall or an inability to sleep. The sensor can also monitor for enuresis (incontinence). |
