- This Wireless Motion Sensor with Pager, allows the carer to receive the alert up to 300 feet (90 meters) away from the motion sensor.
- When used to monitor a patient getting out of bed, the motion sensor is placed at floor level at the headboard end of the bed, facing down to the foot of the bed. When the patient put’s their feet over the side of the bed and their feet are approximately 12 inches (30 cm) from the floor, the motion sensor picks up the movement, and sends a wireless signal to the pager, which is kept with the Carer.
- Can also be used across a doorway to monitor if someone is entering/exiting a room, the house or a building.
- When the pager receives the signal, you have your choice of hearing a chime or a brief tune. The motion sensor that is in the room with patient is silent.
- Batteries included.

Bought to help monitor an elderly relative who refuses to press her night bell!! Does the job although you do need to position it corrctly as it has a wide field of view

Very sensitive, works very reliably to detect any movement if my elderly mum attempts to get out of bed.
As mentioned by many others, it would be really helpful if it had a volume control!!! – the ideal for my purpose, and most other reviewers, is for me to hear the alert but my mother not to be aware of my monitoring. Fortunately my mother is quite deaf – but could be quite confusing or worrying for elderly or dementia patients. One other small point – the switch which switches between OFF and choice of two alarm tones, is very minute and in my haste to switch OFF the “door bell” signal when the alarm sounds, I can end up inadvertently setting off the “William Tell” signal which won’t stop till it has finished!!!! – annoying in the middle of the night. Otherwise, brilliant!

Do wish that there was a volume control as it’s a little loud in a small home environment. Although the instructions state that it doesn’t come with batteries – it does – and they are already fitted you just need to remove a little bit of protection to use them. The really annoying thing is that when you switch the remote on it always plays a tune or beeps very loudly.

I am absolutely delighted with this motion sensor and pager. My husband needs assistance with visits to the bathroom, and I now know when he is getting up from bed during the evening, or mornings when I’m no longer in the bedroom, and in the night it wakes me before his movement does. I no longer fear his falling because I am not at hand!
I place the pager under my pillows at night, or under a cushion if I’m up and about, which definitely softens the sound of the alarm bleep.
It is most definitely proving to be a real godsend!

I put this on the floor beside my elderly father’s bed, and take the pager with me wherever I am around the house. I have it set to the doorbell chime, as it’s shorter than the other sound, and there is never any issue about me not hearing it as it is quite loud.
The drawback is that my father gets up several times a night, and each time I switch the pager off before I go into his bedroom so the alarm doesn’t sound as I attend to him. When you then switch it back on, it plays the ding dong chime and in a quiet house at night time, it is incredibly loud! If the makers are considering coming up with newer model, then listen to my plea – give us an inaudible indication the pager is switched on again, please. I’ve tried stuffing it under the pillow to muffle the noise as I switch it back on, but it’s still loud.
I wouldn’t let that problem put you off buying this, though – compared with others advertised here, it’s excellent value and does exactly what it’s supposed to.

This is a great device. I bought it for my 99 year old mother so we know when she gets out of bed and can go and help her. It works very well and are really pleased with it, but the only thing that would make it perfect is if the pager alarm had a volume control. It is very loud, which might be good for some people or in certain circumstances, but for us it was far too loud. I was going to return it, but I had second thoughts as it is a great wee pager, nice and small so can be carried around very easily. We got around the problem of the loud alarm by either putting it under our pillow at night when we’re sleeping, or under a thick cushion during the day. This makes the alarm just the right volume – you can hear it clearly but it’s not too loud. It has two choices for the alarm, and my advice is to use the simple ding dong. The other choice is the tune to William Tell, which again is too loud and goes on a long time, but this may be good for some people if they need to make sure they don’t miss the alarm.
The bottom line is, yes this works very well, and is not too pricey.

Très bon appareil. Fidèle à ce que j’attendais et fiable. Consomme peu d’énergie. Pas de changement de piles depuis plus de 6 mois. Vraiment pratique pour les personnes qui ont des parents âgés et malades à charge. Très facile et simple d’utilisation

Can’t control exactly where you want sensored and no volume control on the alarm. Not happy paying for the return after the disappointment.

This was the answer to our monitoring problems, for a very elderly patient at home, who was confused enough to try and get out of bed, who could not cope with cot sides which gave them claustrophobia, and was a danger to themselves through lack of stability when attempting to stand up in a confused state. The under mattress sensor we had worked well until a ripple/air mattress was required to prevent bedsores, so we needed an alternative to provide an alarm for when the patient tried to get out of bed – night and day. This sensor worked brilliantly. We needed to rig up a cradle to sit it in with duck tape on a pole at the end of the bed focussing from the middle of the room towards the patient/edge of the bed, in order to position it exactly where we needed it – and we turned it sideways to narrow the beam so that carers could be in the room without setting it off. After those adjustments which were specific to our requirements it could not have done a more excellent job. We did site it for a while, using the hinged stand attached to it, perched on the bed post, but as the patient became colder, the height of the bedding increased and the bed post was not high enough, so a pole was necessary. In spite of all that, it was discreet enough for the patient not to be aware of it, which they were of some other alarms – they never understood how someone appeared so quickly, as a result of this monitor. It could have been placed on the wall above the patient’s bed facing into the room, but this would have meant the alarm being triggered every time a carer came into the room, which we wanted to avoid. Locating the beam does need some careful thought. It was reassuring to know that it would be triggered by the patient’s movements only, and we preferred a few false alarms (eg arms waving when patient was hallucinating) than worrying about the patient when not in the room: before I discovered this product on Amazon we had someone in the room supervising the patient at all times, which became unsustainable. As a result of this alarm we had peace of mind, reassurance, and optimum care for the patient and more freedom for the carers to do other tasks . Battery life was good and they were easy to replace.
I thoroughly recommend this product for the use I have described. All the professional carers as well as family agreed it was outstanding. My only suggestion would be to supply – or provide the option of – an additional, mobile or plug-in receiver which we had with the other monitoring products we used, and we found having two receivers helpful – admittedly not essential, but a bonus. The mobile receiver worked well through the thick stone walls of the house, which was not always the case with some other receivers.
It occurs to me it would also be a useful product to align on the edge of a cot for when toddlers start trying to climb out. A minor point: I have a good sense of humour but your headline (No Alarm In Room With Sensor or Patient!) is confusing to prospective purchasers, who will not necessarily get the pun.
