This extra loud noise will emit from the device, ideal for alerting any nearby caregivers.

If Used on Its Own, How Loud is the Alarm?

The Fall Savers Infrared Bedside Monitor as loud enough so that if you are in the next room you will still be able to hear it. You can choose between chime alert tones or beep alert tones, allowing you to select a catered alarm that is better suited to your ears. As the alarm is loud it can be used through the night and you will be able to hear it should your patient leave their bed while you are asleep.

Where Can the Infrared Bedside Monitor Be Placed?

You can place the Infrared Bedside Monitor beside the patients' bed or by attaching it to the wall. You will want to position it so that the infrared beam is pointed across the room in such a position that should the patient get up from their bed, they will cross the beam and trigger the alarm. Should you want to position the Bedside Monitor on the wall you can do so with the Extension Mounting Bracket which is available on our website.

The swivel bracket that is supplied with the Infrared Bedside Monitor aids in the versatility of the design, meaning that you can fit the monitor in discreet hard to reach parts of the room to ensure that the monitors aren't tampered with. It also means that you can fit the monitor in a wider range of places in the room, with the swivel design fitting most corners.

Why is the Bedside Monitor an Excellent Sensor Pad Alternative?

Plenty of care homes, hospitals and care facilities aren't usually suitable for sensor pads, often because they are inconvenient and their range is limited. The Bedside Monitor is an excellent alternative for when carers determine that the use of sensor pads is undesirable. The infrared design ensures that a user's movement will always be tracked, and if the Bedside Monitor is connected to a nurse call station then the caregiver will always be alerted of when the monitor is triggered.

How Do You Know When You're on Low Battery?

If you opt to use batteries then the batteries at some point will run out. This shouldn't be a problem as 9V batteries can last for a significant amount of time before starting to run out of power.
