We have a baby monitor in the room with hubby so that I can go about running the house while he's confined to bed. Not always a great solution -- sometimes I hear the TV but he could be hollering for me and I wouldn't hear it, just the TV! I needed to find a more reliable and consistent way for him to be able to get my immediate attention. It had to be simple, easy for him to physically use because he has decreased hand strength... this item is an absolute God-send! I don't know why I never saw it over the past 10 years that we surely could have used it but we have it now and it's making life so much more bearable!
This package comes with 2 round buttons, 2 "holster" type holders, all the necessary batteries, a "pager" with a built-in pinch clip (belt, on clothing, etc.) that receives the signals from those buttons, easy to understand instruction sheet, 2 nice quick-release lanyards, 2 pieces of double sided foam sticky tape to mount the holsters to hard surfaces and 2 screws that you could ostensibly use to mount the holster permanently to a hard surface. That's kind of a stretch though because the screws are pretty small...
We've mounted our button holsters on hubby's bedrail by tieing it with a lanyard and on his bedside table edge via the sticky tape. Easy peasy for both of those installations.
Hubby can easily push the buttons and has started to do so. Often. LOL
The pager has no volume control so whether you choose the doorbell sound or the alarm sound, they come across LOUD and clear. I wish there was a way to adjust the volume because I need a supplement to the monitors, not something that will lift me off the sofa when hubby pushes the button! So, that's the only drawback that I see so far...
I haven't tried it yet but because the system is self-contained, this should be usable anywhere as long as both the button and the pager are in decent relation to each other. There's no monthly service fees of any type and no base station required. So I can easily see this being an inexpensive and helpful tool for people who might need it outside in their yards or while shopping, etc. It wouldn't necessarily be the most elegant of solutions and it would probably startle anyone who wasn't aware it was in use.
For us, this is a huge bargain at around $40 and I really wish we'd found it earlier. I would highly recommend this to anyone who has a very dependent loved one but still needs to have their own life and do things in other areas away from that person.
