Simple cheap wireless personal alarm (not intruder alarm) required
Can anyone help please. I have a closely-situated neighbour who is
old. I wish to give him a personal wireless transmitter he can wear constantly which will activate an alarm in my house (but NOT a burgular alarm) in case of illness or an emergency where he cannot use the telephone. It needs a range of 50/100 metres so a low powered transmitter is suitable. I have considered using a wireless door bell as the alarm sounder but a door-bell button is unsuitable. The transmitter obviously needs to be small. Does anyone have any ideas on what I can use or adapt? Preferably cheap please. |

Why not a wireless doorbell ? - I am sure I saw one in B and Q the other day with a
claimed range of up to 200 Mtrs ! I thought they only managed 50 feet ! Nick |

As with all things RF the location and what is inbetween the Tx and Rx is critical. If there is nothing but air range and both the Tx and Rx are a few tens of feet above the ground then you'll probably find they work far further than quoted. But bung the Rx in a basement and the Tx the otherside of several walls and it might not work at all. -- Cheers Dave. pam is missing e-mail |

I am pursuing a Friedland wireless chime which has the benefit of differing tones for "front & rear door" & can use a number of senders. In other words, #1 for my real front door,#2 for next door. Your comments about range have been taken on board & I'm going for one which has a 200m range (in open air). Thks again. Roy |

Just make sure you ask advice when buying and specify that it needs to work from X to Y with Z terrain/obstructions. The store then doesn't have a leg to stand on if it doesn't perform. -- Cheers Dave. pam is missing e-mail |
