About the Personal Watcher™ Unit
The Personal Watcher™ (Watch Style) is a uniquely designed wristwatch
and wander-monitoring device. Lightweight and water-resistant, it is worn
by the monitored individual at all times. The Wireless Monitoring Unit
(WMU) network picks up its silent, continuously active signal, alerting staff
members whenever a monitored individual enters or exits a restricted
zone, approaches a monitored door or exit, or removes the device. The
Personal Watcher
The Personal WatcherTM (PW) continuously sends a signal to the wireless
network, indicating a resident’s current location and status. The PW has
multiple sensing capabilities, including strap tamper/open, body contact,
and motion sensing.
Resident location – The PW transmissions are monitored at all times by
the network, providing continuous, real-time resident monitoring throughout
the coverage area of your facility/community. From the monitor screen, you
can determine a resident's general location by selecting the resident’s
name in the Residents Status area, right-clicking with the mouse, and
selecting Position from the dropdown list. The map on the right side of the
screen will display a 'walking person' in the general area of the WMU
receiving the PW signal.
Secondary layer of security – The HomeFree system notifies staff
members via computer and pager if a resident wearing a PW exits the
facility/community through a non-monitored exit, such as a window or a
non-monitored door. The alert duration can be defined for each resident
profile.
PW removal alerts – The HomeFree system notifies the staff if residents
remove their PWs.
Resident motion monitoring – PWs are equipped with motion sensors. The
HomeFree system notifies staff members if residents are in motion or
motionless during a specified time period. This function needs to be
activated in the resident’s profile screen in the Motion Monitoring area at
the bottom of the screen.
TM
is not for use outside of the monitored area.
