What to Consider When Choosing a Personal Alarm
Personal Alarm FAQs
What is a personal alarm?
A personal alarm is a wearable or portable device designed to help the user contact family, nominated contacts or a monitoring service when assistance is needed.
Can personal alarms be used away from home?
Selected mobile personal alarms can be used away from home where compatible mobile network coverage is available.
Do personal alarms have fall detection?
Selected SureSafe personal alarms include automatic fall detection. No automatic system can detect every fall, so manual SOS activation remains important.
Can a personal alarm contact family instead of a monitoring centre?
Yes. Depending on the product and setup, selected alarms can contact nominated family members or use professional monitoring.
Do personal alarms have ongoing costs?
Ongoing costs depend on the product and setup. Some products may require SIM renewal or professional monitoring fees, so check the individual product details before purchasing.
