Trillium2: Have two of these alarms and we could not be more pleased! One is dedicated to keeping an eye on our elderly parent in bed. The other unit is for when parent is watching TV in family room and we are outdoors gardening, in the barn or mowing. The alarm sound component is portable. We slip it in a pocket or just place it where we're working. We can hear the alarm chime in a pocket over the tractor noise - great for when parent moves or needs our help. We mow about an acre and the unit has no issues covering this area.
We use these great little monitors in conjunction with radio wave baby monitors (we never use wifi monitors due to hacking privacy issues). Our elderly parent is monitored while we are going about household chores by day and during the night.
Five years of 24/7 use these monitors are still reliable. They are easy on batteries. We've only changed batteries out twice in three years.
The unit actually lets you know when the batteries need changing - the alarm starts to sound like a creature from the outer limits. Please note the two alarm sound choices are somewhat sappy, and very loud. That's actually a great feature if you are a sound sleeper or on a tractor....

Joanna Jaholkowska: First time I purchased this system in 2016. It worked well till 2021. I was very happy with the quality and its functionality. I repeated the purchase of this system in 2021. The new pieces looked slightly different and the packaging was different. Also the tunes were different. It showed "made in China". It did not work, and I had to return it. I repurchased it again. It was the same as the one I have returned one but worked well. The life span of it about 2 years, much shorter than the first one which was 5 years. I ordered a new one in March 2023 and, again, had to return it for not working.
Today, I have purchased one again, hoping that it will work. The quality of this system went down significantly!!!! Such system should be reliable because the safety of our loved ones depends on its performance. The Company, Smart Caregiver, should take it into consideration!!!

Kim - Manitoba, Canada: This is a great product to use for an elderly person that wanders at night. It is very sensitive to motion so it took some adjusting of placement so that it would activate upon getting up out of bed rather than just moving in bed. It makes no sound in the bedroom so does not startle the individual but alerts the care aide. The only criticism is that the receiver has no volume control and it is very loud! We had to tape over the speaker to try to bring down the volume so that it does not wake up the entire household.

Lt Col Ravinder Gulati: An excellent Gazette for caregiver to Elders. My mother is 93yrs old, she is a case of Senile Dementia/Alzheimer's.
I have installed this Gazette near her bed , so whenever she awake and about to leave the bed , this Gazette sounds immediately and makes me alert to help her , otherwise she may fall and can get injured.
Even at night if you are sleeping , the beep awakes you and make you alert.
This is a must for your loved one's who are quite old and always require help by some one/Caregiver , so that they should not remain unattended.
Packing was too good and batteries were already installed.

notchland88: Before purchasing this, we were sleeping very lightly, trying to listen in for Dad to get up in the night so we could help keep him safe from falls. Now we can really go to sleep, knowing that the alarm will wake us if Dad's feet get near the floor. The remote is in our room so Dad doesn't have to hear it. We just appear, and he wonders how we knew he was getting up.
We switch the remote off before going to help him. Some reviews have mentioned having to re-set the device. I don't know if my model is newer than those, but the only re-setting we do is to switch the remote back on (the part in our room) after assisting Dad. In his room, there is nothing to re-set; the motion sensor stays on all night.
The alarm is very loud. Way louder than we need it to be in the middle of the night. We are experimenting with partially covering it with tape, etc.. A volume control would be REALLY nice, but for this wonderful device at a pretty nice price, I'm willing to have to experiment.
One small inconvenience is that there is a little green light on the motion sensor that flashes when motion is detected. Since Dad's room is otherwise dark, this draws attention to the device, which...

Michael Zacharias: This is used in a bedroom for my mother who has dementia. I have it mounted so that if she starts to walk towards the end of the bed (usually to go to the bathroom), the pager will sound at someone can watch and make sure she does not fall. The pager is quite loud so it was places in a shelf with clothes on top so that it is not too loud at night. It works very well and is doing it's job. I did purchase an optional power adapter for the main unit so that it does not need battery replacements. The power adapter is: HQRP AC Adapter for Kerr AC-04 PDUR41120-50 Smart Caregiver Power Supply Cord + HQRP Euro Plug Adapter

"L": PROS: Wakes me up in time to get to Dad's bedside before he gets up and falls.
CONS:,Can't let the cats in his room at night, can't really use as a chair alarm, sensor will pick up every move he makes while sitting, anyone who walks by, etc.
Dad has dementia, and has become a fall risk when getting up every night without fail to use the bathroom. Needed an alarm to awaken me so I could get to him before he gets out of bed, as he has become increasingly unsteady upon awakening. Cannot teach him to use a night commode for obvious reasons (dementia!)
At first, tried another wireless alarm- purchased the combination pack of chair pad/bed pad with wireless remote alarm.
The alarm sound itself worked, but would not sound until a FULL FIVE SECONDS AFTER dad moved. Useless!! He could get up and be more than halfway to the bathroom by then, and have already fallen. Back to the drawing board.
This is a very basic motion detector, but sensitive, and I have no trouble with the range of the wireless alarm box. I can take it anywhere throughout the house or to a point out in the yard,and still be assured the signal will be received. The wireless alarm unit is great, as the alarm...
