Best Home Alarm System


The other day my neighbor Jim had called because he was having trouble going down the stairs so I told him to wait until I came over to help him down the stairs. He's about 90 years old and usually a very careful person when he's by himself.

I remember him telling me that he was going to buy a Home Safe Auto Dialer Security and Safety Alarm system but at the time didn't remember if he installed it or even purchased the alarm. The "home Life alarm system is a very easy to install system with only batteries to install.

For some reason my car was out of gas and I couldn't get it started so i was delayed on getting over to his house. Being 90 years old and set in his ways i later learned just how set in his ways he was. He didn't wait for me to come over to his house to help him so he went ahead and started on his own to go down the huge curving stairs in his big old house.

According to his wireless security camera that was installed he had only taken a couple of steps when he lost his footing and slipped down the stairs head first. From what I had watched on the video of the camera he fell with his face hitting the steps first. He looked like he was not breathing but he was ever so slowly.

I was not able to tell from the camera if he was going to get up or not from the video but as time went on and on he started to move his arms a little. its good that he had installed a Home Safe Alarm a couple days ago. He had forgotten to turn it off so it was triggered when he fell down the steps. The system quickly monitored his actions as he fell. The auto dialer called his daughter, 911, and myself.

In only a few minutes the emergency crew plus the fire department had arrived to help with the situation and quickly acted on the situation. About twenty minutes later his daughter Cathy arrived and in a frantic mood not knowing what to expect but was happy to know that the emergency team and came so quickly to help. Even tho she didn't know what was going on and was in shock when she noticed her dad was on the floor but was breathing she ran to him.

I told her what was going on and she was happy that the auto dialer had done its job well. I knew he had made the right purchase after seeing how quickly the alarm system had called for help. He was rushed to the hospital and admitted right away. They started checking him out and found that he had several broken ribs, a broken shoulder and a twisted angle. The next day at the hospital Cathy was walking up and down the floor as her dad was in surgery. He was having a replacement knee joint done hopefully so he could walk again. The ribs will heal on their own over time. Even though he did break a couple of bones he is still mighty lucky that it wasn't worse at his age. After a few days and some rehab he will be able to return home and once again staying in his house by himself which is what he wants.

This is one of those times when a wireless alarm with an auto dialer was worth ten thousand times what was paid for it and possibly saved a human life. He was able to install this system even at an older age.

The Auto Dialer can also be used in Chime mode, such as in a store, where a chime will alert you when motion is detected. The Auto Dialer is easy to set-up. Install a 9 volt battery (not included), connect the AC power cord and telephone line (included). Then mount the Auto Dialer to the desired location 5-6 feet above the floor.
