Hi
I am looking for a system that if staff are working within our grounds could wear a personal alarm on their person, which if they activated would raise the alarm to a main control board in the reception area, where there will always be a staff member present to react ...anyone know were I might find such a thing?

Thanks in advance

Google for personal emergency call alarms and there will be a host of providers. Haven't used any myself so cannot recommend any particular one.

Hi There,

I would recommend a system by SKYGAURD. Its a little pendant device which is capable of a few things
1. its a man down alarm, it then sends a call to a receiving centre, they can dial in and talk to the device
2. it has a button that can be activated if a person feels threatened, the call centre can listen in and call the police
3. its GPS

We have two devices and the cost is quite cheap, well worth a look

Regards
Kate

I have such a system from MDH Wireless Technologies. They were very helpful in setting it up including a survey of where on our premises we could get a signal to be received at Reception.

Related (but different), does anyone have experience with 'man down' alert type equipment that does not require mobile phone signal? Something that generates an alert and calls out rescuers to literally anywhere in the UK, (including places that are some hours walk from the nearest road and well outside mobile phone signal).

We've identified some equipment, I was wondering if anyone has actual experience of such things.
